May 3, 201410 yr Author Nice that fairing will be a lot stronger now! Yes, I don't think that it will fall apart as I'm riding [emoji6]
June 3, 201410 yr Author Have been working on some painting and some other stuff Still have to do some speed blocks. Rubber arrived today. Dunlop Q3's I've had my bike on a rear stand forever. I put the front stand on. When I did, I found that the front tire has some serious drag on it. Feels like the calipers aren't releasing. I may have to do a caliper rebuild. Argh. It's probably the only thing I haven't rebuilt yet. WTF!
October 10, 201410 yr Author Thanks buddy. It's been a PITA to get it running properly once I had it running. Seems to go decently. I got it running just in time for winter storage. Lol
October 13, 201410 yr Author Yes the front is lowered. I'm trying to help improve the geometry of the bike. With the R1 front end (less offset) and the FJ swinger (52 mm longer) the handling would be slower. I dropped the front to help compensate
October 13, 201410 yr Author Hey Jeff looks good how the suspension working is it too stiff? Haven't had a chance to do a lot of suspension tuning yet. It is stuff on the front end. The back isn't bad. Spring rate on the R6 shock is similar to the RZ. Not enough time in the seat yet to give good feedback.
October 13, 201410 yr Author She looks heavy tho" sapping the bhp ... you weighed it ? Yeah, she's chubby for sure. I need some stainless pipes - gain some Hp and lose weight (win/win). Will weigh it at some point.
October 14, 201410 yr Jeff fyi stainlees wieghs more per sq in than mild steel your gona have to find other places to shave weight.
October 16, 201410 yr Author Yeah for sure, but a set of stainless pipes will weigh less than one of my stock pipes. Plus I'll get a hp increase.
