  1. Hello.

     

    I'm looking at a job opportunity in Ridgecrest, California. Are you familiar with the area?

     

    Regards,

  2. Okay, I looked at those. they say "re-valved", but they don't say with what. My forks only have 7500 miles on them and I've changed the fluid at about 5k. I think I'll try to find a local guy to re-do the stock valves unless he talks me in to getting some gold valves or penskes or something. Maybe change the spring also. I would like to keep total cost around $350 if I can.
  3. I would like to change the springs and valves in my forks. I need some recommendations please. Something that doesn't cost a fortune. Thanks
  4. I'll bite; what is a euro switch?
  5. Outstanding work Stan! Wish I could be there to see/hear it run. Music, sweet sweet music!

  7. Are they hard on rotors? warping? wear issues?
  8. what upgrades have you done to your brakes and what in your opinion returned the best dollar for dollar return on performance? thanks

    Fork oil AGAIN!

    I'm just going to use the stock spring for now. I'd like to preload it some. What size washers would I need for that?
  10. Alright, I am going to change my fork oil and I see that you have to check the level after filling. Can't you just add a certain amount? Say the 16.3 ounces that is called for, and call it a day? Why is it so important to measure the level as opposed to just adding a preset amount?

    Sonic Springs?

    on the VFR, yes, I did an oil change to 7.5 weight. I bring up Sonic Springs because they are only $79.

    Sonic Springs?

    I ran Sonic Springs on my VFR and the springs I bought from them and put in my VFR800 were way too stiff. I used the ones they recommended on their chart according to my weight and riding style but they make the stock BBXX springs feel downright plush. I will say their customer service was terrific. I would like to hear from those of you running them on a BlackBird and get your impressions? Your weight, riding style, spring weight, and oil viscosity. Thanks
  13. That looks Outstanding!!! I would love to know details on the conversion. Also, is the wheelbase different now? Shorter? That would be a plus!
  14. on May 16th Cycle Gear will be having their semi annual tire sale. $189 for a pair of front and rear Pirelli diablos.
  15. 42 just seems high. I've owned about twenty five bikes and not a one had a recommended psi that high. I usually run 32-34 front and 34-36 rear on most of my bikes. Even my BMW R1200RT which is heavier than the BBXX only recommended 36-38 fully loaded. Currently I'm running 34 front and 36 rear. I will bump it up 2psi when taking a passenger. Anything else just exaggerates the already stiff ride qualities of the bike. remember too that in spite of Honda's recommendations, tires vary from brand to brand and model to model.
