  1. Shewie mentioned on the Premier site that Elke would custom engineer dedicated BB shock if 10 people were interested and that they would offer some deep discounts. I'd guess from their point of view, they'll be adding another model to their lineup. Thanks Hank. Yes, if ten or more people are interested, Elka has agreed to build a shock for the bird which would, I assume, be added to their Compatible Motorcycles list. The discounts they are offering aren't what I could, in good conscience, call deep but they have dropped their already reduced price by another 10% for the group buy.
  2. G'day lads. As the title indicates, I'm putting together a group buy for some Elka shocks. This buy is for their Stage 4, three-way adjustable shock with remote reservoir with the option for remote hydraulic preload adjustment as well. More info is available on their website: http://www.elkasuspension.com/products/moto/moto-stage4/ The shocks will, of course, be built to spec based on your own weight and preferences and pre-tuned at the factory. Regular prices are: With hydraulic preload: $995 CDN Without hydraulic preload: $795 CDN Group buy prices are: With hydraulic preload: $895.50 CDN Without hydraulic preload: $715 CDN Anyone interested can please PM me either here or (gasp) on the .com site.
  3. A two-pole SAE connector would be cheap an easy and you can get them with weather boots to cap the bike side when not in use. I use one to power my tank bag.
  4. I have a Powerbronze Tailguard undertail, never installed. It's red, but probably not a match for your bike.
  5. That's not how I read it. Sounds like he's planning on using the existing 12-2 wire and using both the black and white wire for each leg of the 220. So there will be no neutral from the breaker panel? What are you using to replace the white neutral or are you going to use the existing ground for the neutral? Personally I think you're asking for trouble not running the proper wire. All you need is a little jolt while running a table saw and you're going to be playing "where is thumbkin" or worse. Also suggest you buy a fire extinguisher suitable for electrical fires. Just sayin... There is no need to run a neutral to a 220/240 V machine like a table saw, so a grounded two-wire cable is all that's required. As the table saw is stated to require a 220V 15a circuit, the #12-2 is quite sufficient. Only appliances like electric dryers and ranges require a neutral in addition to the two hot conductors because the clocks/timers in them run on 120V.
  6. Thanks but Joe's got me covered Ok.
  7. Sorry Hank, I forgot to tell you! Not gonna need'em now, it's a straight swap. Now I have to unload this California model.
  8. You're a peach, Joey. I just heard back from one of the several dozen wrecking yards I emailed - there is now an '03 ECM headed up from Pittsburgh, so no ride for you. Thanks anyway.
  9. While your offer is tempting, I fear the shipping may put me a tad over budget.
  10. Anyone at all? I have a really nice headlight available for trade...
  11. Lost tach output on mine. Anyone have one gathering dust?
  12. The black wire is a switched feed from the battery. It provides the regulator section with a read on battery voltage and determines whether the SCRs send the stator output to the battery or shunt it to ground. Mosfet units (ala Yamaha R1) don't need that signal.
  13. I just had an early (93 I think) 900RR shock reworked for the bird. The spring is WAY too light so it got a 1200lb replacement. The valving was changed to match the spring and the reservoir hose was lengthened and realigned so I could mount the reservoir under the seat. The replacement spring is a wee bit shorter than the stock (apparently OEM springs are oddball lengths) so it took a few shims and a spring bearing to make it fit properly. It works quite well, way better than the original as it was built for my weight/style. Maybe not quite as well as a Penske, Ohlins or Elka, but it cost about 1/3 what those do. So to answer your question (finally), yes the early 900RR shock will fit, with some rework. There is more to consider than just the eye-to-eye length though; spring rate, valve settings, shock stroke and the bike's leverage ratio all must be factored in. Just because it will fit doesn't mean it will work.
  14. Answer me, bitch!
