  1. Congrats man, I'd love to say I can take any credit for anything other than sharing information with someone that wants to do something for themselves. It's fun to start marking the times and then thinking of ways to make it 20 seconds faster consistently. Do that 10 times, and things are a lot more enjoyable! Keep it up!!!
  2. If Joe doesn't take it, I will... Will PM you the addy.
  3. I seem to recall the Magical website saying something about the mirror curvature being done while at a temp of around 1200C, using a German glass company. Pretty sure it's not something your local glass guy can just whip up, but I've been wrong before. The group buy thread is here but it seems, well, inactive.
  4. Magical no longer makes them... wasn't there someone checking into a group buy?
  5. Nice price... seriously! AFAIK, all Kushitani leather is taken from Kushitani-owned, -raised, -fed, and -processed Holstein in Japan -- not sure what you're saying is made in China, but it's not the leather.
  6. Wasn't ArcticFlipper hosting a number of them on his site?
  7. The Wyvern is supposed to have a nice sound and quality build. Actually, there are quite a few specialty shops that do the titanium bending by hand, and R's Gear is one of them. It goes a long way towards explaining how they cost $1000 bucks when discounted down, and are about 7 pounds light... :? I've seen them go used on auctions for $600 - 750, less with scratches from friction with asphalt...
  8. Is she cute? :twisted: Got pics? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: I'm sure one of our "members" would be happy to help her...
  9. First things first, right... :poke: Personally, I think you'll get more more benefit through MSF courses and not an Ohlins, but that's just me...
  10. Actually, the point of contention that you raised was, and remains, that the sale of bikes with a displacement in excess of 750 cc was prohibited by law. And, I can assure you that the above point of contention, as it was postulated, is bunk. Whether your classification of a 1137 cc Honda CBR1100XX is a bird or not by the PS output of it, well, I'm mature enough to say it doesn't matter... There are so many aftermarket products here that de-restrict and boost bike performance that the 100 ps barrier that is voluntarily met by makers is, effectively, ineffective.
  11. Unknown until you call... the VINs that I posted may or may not be Japan-only numbers, and it would be folly to assume so... Only after you call will you know if you are right. Cheers, and let us know what you hear...
  12. That's funny! Umm, no, you can buy it new, but domestic makers voluntarily "restrict" the bikes to output no more than 100 ps or so (they did that to keep the laws from prohibiting the manufacture/sale of bikes w/more than 100 ps). I did buy my XX brand new and it was JP spec when I got it - last dyno tagged it at 131 ps, but I'm still running the JP spec ECU, so a US/EU spec ECU would boost that... Another project for another time. Considering the preference for Japanese to avoid used goods, I can't imagine any companies make money by sending new JP spec bikes overseas, taking the loss of price Re: depreciation, maintenance, etc. and then shipping them back to JP, and still be able to flip a profit... :roll: FWIW, my bike cost about $9,500 including Givi Wing Rack and 2x36e cases, and derestriction work. Current exchange rates would put it closer to $10,500, +/-...
  13. Joe, the Honda Japan website has the following data: SC35-1000583~SC35-1000789 (207 units) are affected by the recall. I have NO idea if those numbers are restricted to the JP market, or include units for non-Japan markets, and the information is limited. They were apparently produced during the Mar. 7 2002 - to - Aug. 28 2003 period.
  14. Days? :shock: For a dyno run? Or for mapping and tuning?
