  1. I do agree there is not alot of bushing to grab, but once it is installed next to the resevoir it is a very tight fit. I do recall using some of the bushings and parts from the stock Honda lever; which it looks like you still have.

    Key thing is be patient, it's like a cognitive puzzle. Also, the long screw threads down through the shaft and does not need to be reefed into place. (You will simply mar the head of the fastener.) Obviously once the nut is installed it will keep the screw from backing out on you.

    If you need more help, don't hesitate to call.

  2. My previous sets were plug and play as Flitemedic noted. However, these were a little different.

    Eric, I just took mine off my bike, took it apart and took pictures. The spring doesn't make any difference. The small, brass colored pin aligns on the end of the clutch plunger. (You just need to make sure to line it all up.) Uploading pics now. However, my printer/reader has been acting up.

  3. I used red Permatex, you can buy it in a tube just about anywhere. If I recall the red is rated to a higher heat value than the blue.

    I used it for both.

  4. Front wheels are different from carb bikes to FI bikes.

    97-98 fuel tanks do not fit FI bikes.

    All body work can interchange, though the FI bikes do not have the mesh on the intakes under the headlamp.

    This the kind of stuff you had in mind?

    "Thanks guys for the support. Yesterday I got a tire shipment from Ron Ayers. I am trying a harder compound. The Road Tech Metzler Z6 so far (95 miles tonight) seem to stick plenty good. I broke in the tires and chain and then I did some low to medium speed twistys and a couple charges to 160mph out on the highway. No apparent slipage with the exception of getting really light over rises. My last tires were the Sport tech and before that the Michelin Pilots. We are real hard on tires out here. I want to see if I can get more miles out of this set. We have tons of pot holes not to mention man hole covers that have blown off during heavy rain. Keeps you alert. During this tire change I did my first sprocket/chain change.(21,000mi) Original sprockets still look good. From Parts 411.com I got a ZR Regina(chain and both sprockets) combo kit for $180. Ron Ayers was $200 for both tires. Here they want $240 for just the rear tire. Anyway I was looking for any reports on the Z6. Let me know your experience with these tires if any. I was appauled when I pulled off the sprocket cover. I never seen so much gook. The original front sprocket has rubber, I think, on both sides. Reginas did not. So far I can't tell a difference other than how damn smooth the bike is with a fresh set of tires ,sprockets and chain. I was down for a month before this change and I am refucking amazed with this bike. Oh ya, I found out why there are so many Hayabusas here in PR. They were cheaper than our Honda!!! But still many of these guys spend a fortune on customising the 1300. Lots of chrome, custom wheels,paint and more. Also I noticed my dampners behind the rear sprocket are showing some cracks and general wear. How long do you all get out of them? "

  6. Nice to see a Puerto Rican on the forum. My mom and her Catholic siblings are from the island. I've been there a couple times, stick around, you'll like this place. Plus, if you learn to turn off the all caps, the other members will love reading your stuff.
