Looks good Bob!!

Most folks around here have the Spieglers just because we had a group buy on them last year. FIt and finish seems pretty good on them. I know the spieglers come in a 9 line kit. Clutch line is extra. If you don't replace all of the lines you won't get quite as much improvement. Y ou will still get alot of improvement, but not as much as if you replace all of them. I believe the Spiegler kit is around $450 and another $70 for the clutch line, or somewhere around there. I just did mine last week, and they are unreal!

Just found this thread, and holy shit Todd, that is awesome! that is going to be an absolutly gorgeous home when its all said and done.

Caster Oil. But seriously, I use 5W-40. It is Rotella Synthetic. $13/gallon at wally world.

Okay, I am thinking I may try to start this project this weekend. I have done a search, and have bookmarked a few threads about the lines. But, what I am asking for is does anyone have any links to Dales instructions or other pictures of fitting directions, anything like that? I will probably get the bird naked Thursday evening, and start either friday night or saturday morning. So any and all tips are welcome, and requested Thanks a million guys Rick Also if anyone has a phone number for whoever did the group buy so I can call if I have any problems with fitment or anything like that.

+1 That thing sounds SAweet. :icon_thumbsup: Yeah, I am not a big fan of the single sided pipes on the XX but Northmans, is da shizzle!! That thing is fucking sexy...... The TiForce is the only full system I would buy. Oh and the sound of his bike in person............ :icon_love: :icon_love: 180+ HP, sounds really good flowing through a TiForce!!!

Those are VFR bars.

OH THE HORRA!

I am anxious to see how this all turns out. And especially to see them on the XX. But, for $300 you can't beat that. Probably could flip those pretty easy for a profit.

Okay, well, can you ellaborate? How do you measure it, etc, etc, etc. I know NOTHING about suspension. I need to find someone around here that can help me out with it. Do you know anyone?

Okay I just spent the last half hour running searches and reading threads about suspension adjustments etc. And looking for info on how to set sag, what it should be etc....and all I can say, is I didn't relaly find many answers, and MY HEAD IS KILLING ME!!! And I only made it through a few of the pages of hits.............. Anyone have any links that make this a little easier?

If the springs are right for your weight, the ride may actually seem a bit softer. I realize this is counter-intuitive, but if you're riding around too low in the suspension range due to soft spring, it can make the ride seem harsher than the spring rate would suggest. Expect to do a bit of chassis ajustment to compensate for the increased height in the front, or it may slow your steering some. Once you change the springs and set your sag front and back, then worry about shimming the back or dropping the front for the desired steering characteristics. Measure everything before you start, including sag, so you have a baseline to work from when you're done. Thanks Tim, and Jim..... Tim the above is really good information. I find it really interesting.....because um, well .....considering I haven't eve touched the suspension sense I got the bike. So it probably isn't set up worth a shit for me in the first place. The RaceTech site, says for 180lbs, which is pretty close for me I need a .976 and to use the closest thing. So it seams to me I could go with either the 1.0 or .95 and be in good shape either way. IF i decide to do this.

OKay, but I guess one of my bigger questions is, what am I to gain from it? Will I have a better ride? Stiffer ride?How will it change the handling? etc...... I am leaning towards just doing springs and oil, sheerly for the reason of cost, I would like to know what i stand to gain from doing that even.

I am starting to toy with the idea of redoing my front forks. But I don't really know that much about what I am looking at/for. Spent some time on the RaceTech site, looking around at prices and such. It looks like I could do valves and springs for about $270 in parts. Or just springs for about $125 in parts. But I guess my questions are what really am I to gain from this? I ride a little bit spirited occasionally, but I don't really have any complaintws with the factory suspension. I don't ride near as aggressively as many of you do. So what really am I going to gain? What are the differences. I haven't ever felt the the front end was unstable on me or anything, so.......????? If I personally will not feel a significant difference, why bother? I don't want to dump alot of money into it when I don't NEED to. I can think of lots of other things I would rather do for big bucks. But if I can spend $125 and a couple of hours with a fellow XXer or 2 helping put them in,and have a huge difference, then hell yeah.

I guess, maybe I am unclear.....could you give us some more detail? Seriously though nice write up. That is some good info.

All the extra height just moved to my penis. It is actually hanging out of the bottom of my shorts in the after pics.

Unfortunatly, no. I know I started at a snug 36" waist, and am now at a comfortable 34" waist. Have had to buy new belts, and a couple of pairs of pants. But still wear my 36's with the belt cinched WAY up. Just looks like I dropped a load in my pants that is all.

:lmao: Gotta love sibling rivalry! I can't upload pics right now as I just got a new computer, and I haven't figured out how to access my website. So if I email them to Brett would he be nice enough to post them for me?

Man I just found this thread. I am on about day 40-50 of P90, and am down about 20lbs, and up alot on muscle mass. If I can remember when I get home I will post up my Day 1 and Day 30 pics. They are kinda cool.......I am impressed. Now if I can just get that second disk of P90... :poke: :wink:

They also have a much different image than we (sport-bike riders, I use that term loosely) have. Thanks to all the idiots and squids we have a horrible image that we are always goin Mach3 with our hair on fire and riding wheelies and such.

Not sure why in the hell you would want to have a "piss your sleeping neighber off loud" bike in the first place, but if that is really what you want just go buy a set of D&Ds. Or take the cans off all together.

My thoughts exactly!

Not a stupid Q when your spending this kind of money, Rick. :wink: If you do alot of riding. There is alot less fatigue in your hands and fingers. They are alot more comfortable and conforming to you, when you are using the clutch and brakes. They just give a more positive feel and feedback. 8) I've been running the CRG's on my RC for a few years now. When I ride a bike with stock levers now, it just feels weird. :? So what you are telling me is that I am gonna have to spend some more money?!?!?!?!?! 8) Bling bling baby!

Okay, I am going to have to be stupid. Obviously, I see the bling factor in these. And the adjustment wouldn't be bad, but once you get them adjusted you pretty much leave them there. So is there something else I am missing? Sorry for the stupid question. :?

Pics? Really depends on what it looks like.
