  1. We also went there to run the corner in every position possible to compare what would hit. That's how we learned how to hit the fairing and make a fucking hole in it, too. Around 8 of us, Hayabusas and XXs. Two-up, obviously, puts the pipes down hard.
  2. Dummy. Open the battery case and fill it with nice cool water.
  3. There are misting systems for the condensers with wildly varying reviews on both efficiency and long term potential damage. I have always wondered about the idea of a swamp cabinet around the entire thing, which should give a big part of the benefits of misters with almost none of the dangers. Your thoughts on the test conditions... Find the hottest part of the day, when it will be steady for a few hours. Run system and get power used for...two hours? And also run time. I *think* we would be looking for both reduced run time and reduced power during run because of lower pressure? Add swamp cooler, test for the same time. Next day, reverse it (swamp first, then dry).
  4. Do you drag pipes? In this corner, I did some damage to the exhaust, which touched about the same time as the peg feeler. But which parts touch first are a function of both suspension setup and your riding style, right? Another XX rider would touch the fairing first. Anyway, the pad is on the same plane as the peg-to-exhaust line. I'm more concerned with having a daily driving machine that goes to the grocery store and customer meetings, and I'm not even sure when this bike will see its first real curve. Call me old I guess. Ah fuck, I think I see some dirt on the swingarm. Time to clean again. Oh, and yes, I do have vastly more hours restoring and cleaning than riding.
  5. I'm still unsure what you mean, but nothing interferes with anything else. Other than just looking big, I see no downside.
  6. And I can't even get an owner's manual bag from him...
  7. Don't use anti-seize since it needs to be grounded.
  8. If you tell me what you meant, I'll get pics later when it's shop time. I can't centerstand it where it sits.
  9. Fuck, the coolant in the silver unicorn is 5-10 years old.
  10. I think you meant something else? Close to the...centerstand? Exhaust? LOL.
  11. Somehow I had my silver unicorn, no idea how. Also I'm flying American to Caldwell.
  12. Yeah, this, also see the hydrofoil discussion where your comments would be useful.
  13. I recently had a dream that I'd flown out there to help you with the Caldwell scouting and used your trailer to take a bike.
