Aircraft stripper from Avanced Auto(I think). I didn't use tape all so I guess you wouldn't like mine. It is a lot of work. It's a lot of work.

I know that you can go one inch.

You could always put on some weight.

Is octane rated the same in all countries?

Testrider, did you change yours just to be safe? The old one still good? If so, do you want to sell it to me?

Pipe. Counterclockwise.

Dotage: 1-feeble and childish state due to old age; senility. 2-a doting; foolish or excessive affection.

My son is a mechanic and uses only Snap On tools. The guys stops in all the time (son owes him many $$$'s). He might be able to get them replaced for you but there would be shipping involved.

I never take mine off but maybe it fits alittle different than yours. I don't want to keep taking the bolts in and out of the brakes. EDIT: Well, I just went out and looked at mine. It does not hit the rad with the bars straight like you would ride but if you go full lock (like locking the forks) it does hit. Yea, my rad is banged in some. Thanks for the heads up North. It has been on for two or three years.

Since it's after 1:00 am, maybe I can get you a shot tomorrow. It uses the upper caliper bolts IIRC. A strap really don't fit great on the Bird because of all the linked brake hoses but it will work.

Thanks David. Very informative. I will have to try that this summer.

I have one of those and almost never use it. It puts out so much heat, it's unbearable. I put up Flourescent lights (about $10 each) all over my garage and used with drop lights, don't need much else.

Joe, would this also apply if the rear was dropped the same amount?

Put a strap on it but leave it loose, when you get to your biker hangout, pull the strap tight. Loosen before you leave. Oh, don't forget to shorten your kickstand.

Wow, I always wanted to ride a bike with bars. I think it would take a while to rap my mind around holding the throttle wide open and dropping the clutch. How do I wire my shift light to trip my air shifter? Thanks.

I think mine are at 2-1/2, some people go 3. It's been awhile. They are kind of hard to get to when on the bike.

Highjack: So, what all is done to your bike to get high nines?

Since you are selling your bike this fall, I could take those lines off your hands.

+1, I never get any of those silly lights.

Not always. I have K&N, Dyno Jet and Yosh slip-ons and I did mine one time and it seems perfect. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.

They have 5w50 Mobil 1?

I have scraped my fairing before hitting the feelers! I don't like that much.

I am one down in front and one up in the rear (46). I wanted to try 47 rear in the last group buy but it didn't work out. With a stock front and one up in the rear, I don't think that you would be able to tell the difference. It is hard to get steel rear sprockets. If you want to go more than one tooth, I think it would be better to just do the front and it is cheaper also. If I rode long trips, I would leave it stock, I don't.

Has anyone here ran a 15 tooth front?
