I'm feeling your pain... I tried to sell my 97XX equiped almost the same as yours and I received some attention, but I still have the bike.... good luck on selling your!! Dave

Mods you can remove thread now if you wish....

Now on E-Bay E-Bay Link

Someone...

Alright someone needs to make me an offer here... All reasonable offer will be considered.

I would like to keep this together as a package deal. If things change I will let you know. Thanks for the interest. Dave

Bump...

Unfortunately you do... Fortunately I have dumped the purple screen for a much more masculine smoked screen from zero gravity. New pictures posted today!!!

Bike is gone. Thanks to everyone who stop by and looked!

Was just giving you shit about the electrics. Good idea to test the whole system. I'll send you a PM with what I found was up with my charging system. Thanks for the actual explanation, although I'm still pretty clueless. <-- Admitting ignorance! So.. to talk through it, maybe I should look at this a different way: If the system needed more current, it would have to convert that extra voltage to DC, then step down the voltage (upping the current via the ratio), and apply that energy back to the system, which is a lot more work than just burning off the extra AC voltage (and minimal current) to ground? Kind-of, except one thing... A regulator does not actually "step down" the voltage and trade it for current like a transformer does. A regulator just turns any voltage higher than the set voltage into heat and dissipates it. If the load current goes up, it still has to take about the same amount of voltage off the top, but it also has to eat up the extra current from that voltage off the top, and since current AND voltage make power, you're burning more power into heat than if you were running less current through the R/R. Mike ???? Uh?? So if I understand correctly... The more things I have on ie. high beams, electric vest ect... the cooler the R/R runs, and the few things are on the hotter the R/R will run because the engery is converted into heat. Is this right?? **Please remember I'm keeping this simple...**

I had the same problem and the fender would actual rub the tire and cause a vibration (duh) when I was hard on the brakes. reposition brake line, good to go!!

Thanks for the info!!

*Hijack on* I completed the swap a month ago on my 97. The question I have is how hot is the R1 R/R suppose to get? After a 15-20 minute ride home from work I can barely touch it and the subframe 6-8 inches in all directions get hot to warm. Is this normal?? *Hijack off*

I bought a JCW top case. The big one and I busted the latch that holds the lid closed. I had my ruck sack in the case and tried to closed the lid and SNAP... the plasic latch snapped right off. It wasn't that cold in the garage. I had the trunk for 9 months. It's time to spend some $$ on some quality cases.

I have a 47 that I picked up a couple of months ago from BDAZXX. I haven't used it and you are wlecome to it...$30 shipped Dave Thanks does it fit the stock bird rear? is it steel or aluminum? Tim Yes it fits the stock rear & it's aluminum

Found the problem.... Had a line that was not routed right on the left fork that is apart of the antidive. The line was pushing the fender into the tire as the forks compressed.... line rerouted, problem fixed.

+1 DAMN RIGHT!! Those sorry sonabitches lets the part guys charge "commission" on all the parts to customers order. Ever time I would go in there I would get different prices on the same part. Later I found out that was each parts guy was allowed to charge what ever amount of "commission" he thought someone would pay!.. Rat Bastards

I think your on to something.... I bought Obby's 97 XX and I changed out the K&N for a stock filter shortly after I brought the bike to Phoenix for dust reasons. About 4 weeks ago I rode in a heavy rain storm for about 30-40 mintues and no problems. I did make sure to change out all vent hoses on the fuel tank and made sure the drain holes in the air box were open when I installed the stock filter.
