Thanks for the warm welcomes, Joe and Tim. It's good to see old familiar faces still around. This place really is truly special among forums. I've never seen a brotherhood quite like it. I wish I had been able to make it to at least one of the meets. I'm not 100% sure of all of the farkles I'm selling, but so far it is: Penske Rear shock (8981? I believe) with extra spring. Race Tech Gold Valves (new in box) VFR Bars "Dave's"(?) Peg lowering brackets There's more, I'm sure, and I'll have more details in separate sale threads to help avoid confusion. I'm not sure what they are worth these days, so I'll have to do some research, and I'm certainly open to offers. I have a lot of extra stock parts as well. Not sure what I'll include with the sale of the bikes.

Life says it's time to hang up the helmet so I'm selling the farkles, then the bikes. Polished aluminum MIG hi-mounts with mounting brackets and spacers to retain passenger footpegs. Custom "CBRXX" badges (I do not have the original ugly MIG badges). $600 shipped to the lower 48.

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for doing that because it's also been stuck in my head since I posted it. :icon_doh:

I'm guessing these things mix together an MP3 player, a radar detector and a GPS? So that sounds about right, John.... When a wrong turn comes along......you must Mix it with your Nuvi and a song..........you must Mix it No one gets away.......unless they Mix it Now mix it Into shape shape it up get straight go forward move ahead try to detect it it's not too late to mix it mix it 2

Yes he did, but is that some sort of knock-off of Marchesini ? Oh shit, now I've become one of the spelling nazis!

Tough diagnosing over the internet, but it sounds like it could be in the switch based on what you've said. You may also want to check the battery connections to the bike (to starter and ground) as well as to the battery itself. I've also heard of kill switches on the right bar going bad as well. Just thinking out loud. Not much help though, I know.

What part of Nebraska? I'll keep my eye out.

Here's a few with the Metisse cowl. However, if you're looking for something to keep you from sliding back in the seat at the dragstrip, the Metisse is not the answer since it only fastens by plastic clips and can actually pop off the seat if slid rearward since the seat tapers. I cut out the passenger area of my seat to create a poor man's smuggler and it has plenty of room to hold my extra helmet shield and more. In the pic of this you can see the plastic clips that hold the cowl to the seat edge. If you're looking for something that will hold you into the seat, I've got a fiberglass one-piece cowl that will do the trick nicely that I'd be willing to part with. It's not in perfect condition, but it isn't too bad. PM if you're interested and I can get you more pics.

Wow, what a smokin' deal! I can't believe it hasn't been snatched up yet. I wish I had some extra scratch lying around.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that they are. I think this was brought up some years ago and there is an indication of a panel on the bottom of the tail light that also leads me to believe this. I can't think of any other reason for the lens to be manufactured that way. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I (not hard to do) will pipe in.

You have a PM.

Holy Shit! Do they plan on getting to it from the left side of the bike?!? It takes longer to loosen the right lower fairing (not necessarily remove it) to access it than it does to swap it out.

Mike, How much you looking to get out of that tank? I may be interested if Josh isn't. We need to get together for a ride sometime before the weather goes to shit. You still got the same number?

Unfortunately, you're not going to find any aftermarket decals that match the quality and EXACT look of the factory decals. The materials and process they use isn't cost effective for your average decal shop. It looks like Xtreeme doesn't even have the sizes correct, as the side logos should measure just slightly over 11.25" long (11.284" to be exact) by almost 6" tall (5.962" to be exact). The tank decals should measure 4.878" wide by 3.875" tall. That being said, if you're extremely picky about the decals being EXACTLY like factory, you'll have to order them from Honda.

I think that link answers your question. I'd be willing to bet that the angle of the mount is the same for all of the bikes listed based on my experience with putting XX pegs on both the 600rr and 929 rearsets (those are all at the same angle). Obviously, wait until alf03 tries it, but I'm 99.999% sure it will work. Like I said before, the only difference will be the ball detent vs. spring. Good luck and post pics of them on when you're done.
