Yes any of those, well except for the speeding. I agree most would not get caught by a car. Maybe a radio. I agree, I usually only go slightly faster then the traffic around me and have passed many a cop with no problems yet. (Insert knock on wood smiley here) And always try to stay in one lane...

This is a common misconception. It is not "legal" anywhere. But in CA it is not "illegal" either. There are no set rules or guidlines that you have to adhere too. The only thing that gets you by is whether the cop thinks you are doing it in a 'safe' manner. If he is having a bad day and you are...

I can't beleive no one here tunes their own bike. Thanks for the help...

As we all know, the tach, just like the speedo, is not always accurate. I want something I can hook up and check the rpm, set the idles and disconnect.

Where would one find one of these creatures for the hayabusa? I want to set my fast and slow idle, but can't find a tach to do it with. I have searched the net and haven't even found one for a car. It must have a name that I haven't looked for yet.

Yes, the swingarm sliders are spooled to be used as the support for a spooled stand. I have them on my bike and also have the matching frame sliders, but haven't installed the frame sliders yet.

My thoughts exactly. I have never had or have seen these stands in use, but I refuse to put my bike on something that cheap(inexpensive). I want to have all faith in the stands. I can get up on mine and bounce. I am 260lbs, those stands don't look that strong. Again JMHO....

I have the rear Pitbull stand now. I had the New front stand when I had my 929. DO NOT get a front stand that raises the with the forks. You will not be pleased the first time you have to take the forks off and you have to buy a new stand. I just figure I will spend the extra money now and get...

I live in Thousand Oaks and the smoke and ash are collecting here. I have a friend in Piru where the first fire started that had to evacuate on Saturday. The fire missed thier house by about 100 feet. Between them and the fire department they saved the house, the barn and the stables, the fire...

FYI, you can get the stuff from Mcmaster-Carr. I just need to measure the length of the Knurled head stud and I will order. You have to order in package quantity but it still is pretty cheap. If interested go to their web page and it's on page 3026.

C'mon, I do live in SoCal. It gets hot here ya know. :eek:

I hear ya BT. A little history of myself, when I was young and dumb(18 years ago, before helmet laws in CA) I had an old shovelhead. Rode it around in nothing but a t-shirt. Decided I wanted to go faster than it could go, so I got rid of it and bought a sportbike. It took me a while(a couple of...

Has anyone tried to put "other than 'busa" grips on thier bike? I just installed a set of Heli bars and changed grips to a different pair and ran into the groves and fins on the stock throttle. Is there a different throttle to buy or do you just get creative with a dremel?

Cool video! Been on that road many times. I haven't taken this bike up over Ojai yet, but I will. Lockwood Valley Road, here I come! :biggrin:
