  1. Up to you bro.. I am out of town till Wednesday night To double check my leather pants zipper style. Does the first gear jacket have the zipper to attach to pants?
  2. Well the c90 is what 1500 or something cc's twin and believe 5speed gear box.. Big cylinders to feed, and no real power to justify a 6th gear for highway. Maybe I am wrong, but his bike is bone stock and would hate to see what it would get with some tweaking to exhaust and fuel management system or jets.. Don't know what it is.
  3. I would do the simple math on my fingers or in my head. The GPS gives an estimate at best.. I wouldn't trust it for fuel when I have to use common sense using it to map out stuff. Unless I want to go down goat paths in a car or turn into fields for quickest routes and other crap they are known for.. As mentioned you have a gauge and odo.. Run multiple tanks as a baseline and average.. Its not rocket science..
  4. Yep what hobblehead said. Normally I get 90 -100 miles till I loose the first box... then its click click click down. normally with e10 i get 180 - 190 miles per tank. on a trip north last year I got low 50's mpg when I did the math, forget exactly was either 51 or 52. Buddy was pissed as his honda accord gets better mileage than his C90 zuki
  5. thanks for the pics. will let xxtitanium go first as his son could really use a riding jacket.
  6. let me know when you ride down, can meet you near richmond VA for lunch or dinner
  7. Crap I would love to just be 6ft. just interested in the first gear jacket if axxkicker posts pics.. got a closest full of jackets but never hurts to have extra. If you need a new jacket by all mean you can have first crack at it..
  8. You ride down to the obx and never stopped near me? My boss is there now.
  9. I was asking for pics of it. Just curious what it looks like. I just see the outside of the Joe rockets.. Lurch arms? Haha I am t-rex arms...
  10. holy crap batman... did you wipe them down with salt water after each ride? glad to hear you got things installed..
  11. Dominator headlights. Got them on the triumph for basically looks to pass inspection and eyeball test of local popo if I ever want to go on the street with the track bike. Right now they are unplugged and taped over with union jack tape. 😁 https://www.amazon.com/Krator®-Headlight-Motorcycle-Fighter-Dominator/dp/B00O7TMTBI
  12. Spray some lube in there as well. Let sit, heat cool rinse wash repeat.
  13. Chainguard is part of hugger. Think pyramid makes that one.
  14. Kroil is good stuff. Little pricey and sometimes find it to be too thick, but good stuff. Would like to try the royal purple spray.
  15. what is the object on the upper left panel? is it a switch or a power plug port. super clean bike, almost makes me want chrome wheels. So shiny
  16. dont make it cherry red, but get it hot and hopefully a couple heat cycles will cause it to expand and contract allowing it to break any scaling that has occurred. Then use a penetrate of your choice.
  17. you talking about removal of bolts correct? heat is your friend. You can give it several cycles of heating it up with a little torch and allowing to cool completely Then if you want to bypass all that BS of penetrating oils and go with an old timers method I have tried successfully working on my father in laws '29 model A Acetone and ATF fluid. mix 50/50 and shake like hell, and let it work its way in. Don't get it on any paint or anything. I keep some in an old metal oiling can, shake like help and squirt.. http://www.tormach.com/uploads/images/Gallery/products/order_by_partnumber/32398-Oil-Can_MG_8067.jpg
  18. Just throttle It won't do it right now in this muggy weather. But in the cooler months when its about 50 deg. Out. Done it a handful of times leaving my house. 1st gear out onto road, catch second and hit the 35mph turn at corner of my property at 65-70mph come out of corner run 2nd to about 10k and click up into 3rd and continue hammering away to next turn. Not slipping clutch to lift it. Wanna ride it?
  19. Cool crisp mornings it will lift 3rd all throttle. Has surprised me a few times. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
  20. try twisting the throttle more you limp wrist.. cool crisp mornings mine will loft the front going up into 3rd
  21. big plus on the valve stems. the angled aluminum ones are awesome, shame more bikes dont just come with them.
  22. uv light is a big killer on plastic parts. Except when riding my bike (02) i prefer to keep it stashed away. rubber components break down over time, heat, use.. brake lines, hoses, tires, tool straps
  23. No, just some good old fashioned 100% gasoline. I found some last year after over a decade of ethanol crap. Within 5 or 6 miles the bike started to run smoother, throttle response crisper and could actually feel the difference. In 6th gear I could slow down to 20 mph and just roll on the throttle back up to speed. Ran that tank down, filled up again same day and bike got buzzy after 5 or 6 miles. Slowing down to 20 in 6th gear rolling on the throttle she stumbled some getting back up to speed. Really opened my eyes of just how bad that little bit of ethanol effects performance.
