Talking to my step-dad now to see what he has saved up and if he's interested. Will let you know as soon as possible. Is it still for sale? Where exactly is it located?

Just as an FYI this is a personal friend of mine. I can vouch for him so no worries on the item in question. Anyone here that knows me knows I don't mess around with folks money. It's in very decent shape with normal use marks.

PM sent...

I was going to ask about the hugger and the windscreen myself...if you decide to go back to stock. I've been trying to find that hugger since Dave got it, with no luck.

I used to get 200 a tank regularly on my '02 XX. That was running at about 80 to 85 mph (indicated). Spent the better part of a day running at about 100 indicated (heading out west) and those tanks were in the 160 to 170 mile range. Stock gearing.

I think I may have one sitting around. Let me check to be sure when I get home from work. If so, it's yours for shipping costs. It's an '02 stocker if that means anything...

From the last time I had to use it, an hour or two to tack up and you should be able to fire it up and check for leaks. 24 to 36 hours for full cure. I probably wouldn't ride on it for at least 24 hours.

Aww shit man. WTF?

Nice. I was looking to replace the stock bulbs in the ZX-14 front and rear clear housings, and I didn't really like the dipped chrome bulbs I had on my XX, as they aren't that bright and harder to see in the day time. These will do nicely. Thanks!

Wow. 29K on the chain. I'm usually happy to get about 20K out of my chains and I keep them as clean and oiled as I can without a pro oiler. If it's developed a hitch, I'd say get ready to replace it, sooner than later if you're going on any kind of long trip. You might be able to get away with riding on it locally, but if it's kinking it's going to give sooner or later. I might consider replacing the bearings on GP as well if you're doing any long riding. Not sure of all the "troubleshooting" steps to figuring out if they NEED it or not though. I know lany kind of hitch or hiccup during a free spin, or any minor lateral (side to side) movement of the wheel while mounted are two signs. Don't know what else.

It's probably the inlet pipe / float valve. I had to replace mine when it started leaking. Fairly easy job, and the entire inlet pipe/float valve assembly was less than $20 at Homo Depot. You don't have a water valve on the lines for the toilet to shut water off to it? Might keep it from leaking until you get a chance to fix it.

Nah, every RC51 I've seen has either been beat to hell or is overpriced, IMO. You have to want an RC51 to buy an RC51. Ahh I see. I figured you were going for another Honda LOL! Good luck with the sale and the SV1K.

Heh...I see a very clean RC51 for sale, not far from you...hmmm :icon_think:

My buddy still has the pipes in this thread, and probably motivated to make a good deal, if you're interested... http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=53022
