  1. So how bad ARE the chinese body kits? Are they not up to snuff due to misalignments of holes, inferior plastic strength, crappy paint??
  2. I set of gently used 2 Bros C/F C5 (oval) slipons. Only used to ride to church on Sundays... Seriously tho, I had these on my 97 for about 5K miles or so, then sold the bike & bought an '02 back in '07 that came with a Scorpion system. These have been sitting in my garage ever since. Great shape, great sound. $350 shipped in CONUS. Reply to ilove3dca@hotmail.com with "CBR EXHAUST" in the title. Thanks.
  3. I recently adjusted my chain, and now notice I hear a clicking noise bouncing back at me whenever I go thru a set of twisties on the highway. The bike seems to track straight, but the only thing I could think of that would cause this was wheel misalignment & resulting chain/sprocket noise. I bought the cheapo Motion Pro wheel alignment tool (the one with a long straight rod with a base that clamps to your sprocket) today, and the alignment seems about as good as I'll get it. Any clue what else may be causing this noise? Is it normal? (am I paranoid???) I only hear it when I'm riding in close proximity to a median barrier or road guard where the sound bounces back at me.
  4. Did the same thing to my '02. Cheapest price I could find was CarolinaCycle.com, for $250 plus shipping. The only thing you won't receive with the new fairing will be the inner black plastic cosmetic piece which attaches with 3 press-clips. Just take all the piece & clips off your old fairing & transplant them to the new one.
  5. Thanks for the help/info guys. When finesse & dexterity are required (like when removing a drain plug, trying to get a missing washer on it, and reinserted before the bike bleeds out...), I'm Edward SkilletHands, so think I'll walk your path & just keep an eye on her. Preesh!
  6. So this was the weekend I finally got around to changing the oil in both the XX and the trans am. Thought I had everything done, and was emptying the dirty oil into a receptacle, when I noticed a metal washer in the bottom of the drain pan. Rather than play synthetic oil roulette and take a guess, can anyone tell my if the XX using a rather thick metallic washer on the oil drain plug??? TIA
  7. Ordered mine on Friday, got them today (Monday)--thanks!
  8. Some idiot dropped my bike while I was parking it last week So, now I'm looking for a silver side fairing panel. Looks like about the best I can do on it is $235ish before shipping. Anyone know where I can get a better price? Any help appreciated.
  9. So an older friend of mine is in town, and he's never ridden on a motorcycle. I'm about 250, he's probably 225ish. My 02 has a penske basic shock, and new pirelli strada tires. Think I'll squash my bike if I take him for a ride??? TIA
  10. Hayne's manuals *SUCK*!!!! Ahem... Thanks. She runs much better now. Can't fer the life of me find any #'s on the wires tho.
  11. So I've got my 97 torn down for maintenance, and I just replaced the plugs, but now she doesn't wanna fire. The left ign coil feeds cyls 1&4, the right one 2&3, right??? I checked my Haynes manual, but just wanna double check. TIA
  12. Wow--didn't realize that. Was going off of what the shock sales guy was telling me (derrrrr.) Thanks!
