I got two iPhone cases for Christmas, and the Marware loses to the Otterbox. $44.99 list, $31.49 is what I paid (it was a Christmas present to myself, if you want things done right you have to do it yourself). Yours for $20 plus actual shipping. Used for one hour or less, everything is there. http://www.marware.com/products/iPhone-4/S...le-for-iPhone-4

I will take them Carlos, and use them as template to make more Those are obviously the originals that Bill created Paypal accepted ? Put me on the list for the first run of the repros...

Wow - nice work.

Hah! Yeah, I'd need a custom suit according to that thing, and based on the measurements on their charts, I don't think they can make the cowhide in my dimensions at all. The chest size is perfect, I just need to grow 8 inches, 6 of them in the inseam. If I were an engine, I would be called "oversquare". It isn't as bad as it sounds.

Ah, crap. How the fook am I supposed to ask this? Ummm... what size/measurements is it SUPPOSED to fit? Like, waist, inseam, and... ah,... chest? I wear a 46 suit, but I *think* that is a size, not a measurement. I always have to have the pants taken in and hemmed. I have NO idea how one piece track suits are measured. I'll guess they are different than a business suit.

FI or carbed?

There are very few engineering feats that "can't" be done. I'm guessing that it is tied to the ECU in terms of supplying certain data inputs - VSS, IGN, prpbably a few others. There may or may not be the necessary outputs from the US ECU to supply that data. If so, you can make it happen in a fairly tidy fashion. If the 'bird ECU will not supply the required outputs to the VFR ABS box, you'll need to figure out what the inputs are into the ABS computer and then fool the box into thinking it is getting the data it needs - there are ways of creating that data and supplying it without the ECU output. The first step is to get electrical schematics for both bikes. Finding out what data inputs the VFR ABS box needs, and in what format, voltage, etc. will be more involved. It isn't impossible, but it would be an interesting challenge.

D'oh. I went out of town and completely forgot to cross post it. Now I'm leaving town again Thursday morning (TeXXt) and am in a mad race at work and in the garage to get things ready. When I come back, I'll post both the XX and the KTM (which might get more action) as soon as I can. Sorry

PM sent.

+1 on the JCWhitney option. Not the hottest quality, but good enough. Someone found a tailrack that fits for you, it isn't "pointless". Once you have a tailrack that fits, bolt the universal mounting plate that comes with the JCWhitney top case to the rack. Price is right for the top case, it's tough and durable. It's the rack that is spendy, but $129 is not much above average.

Dibs on the CBX, 750F kit, and .300 Win Mag? Taking offers?

Wow. Sorry for the loss of your Dad. The pain is doubled watching the siblings fight over scraps like alley dogs - I've seen it before. I wish there was something I could say or do. Size 12 boots are too big for me. I hope things improve for you, the folks "up there", and here as well.

Want me to cross-post it on ADVRider and one of the VFR forums? Maybe the Superhawk forum, but they tend to be very cost-conscious over there .

Very interested.

Got it, thanks! I hope you'll have it at TeXXt so I can pick your brain and take lots of pics.

Does someone have the details posted somewhere? What year do I need, spacers, entire front with triple, or XX triple stays... thanks for any guidance. 'zat yours? Looks VERY nice.

After dropping her in the driveway, it will be time for new paint. I'm dreaming of a matte two-tone titanium, darker on the lower and lighter on the upper. But that's cosmetic. I'm thinking of a fork upgrade (I currently have a Racetech re-valve). Traxxion Dynamics? Or is there a paint-by-numbers fork upgrade/swap that will provide improved brakes? I can't say I'm unhappy with the current brakes. Time to (again) dump the stock exhaust. I want something light, a full system, and something that doesn't set off car alarms. I would prefer to stay closer to the stock volume, (not likely, but possible?). Ti, aluminum, CF doesn't matter - I want to drop some weight but maintain the ability to mount the stock bags. Wheels? Should I bother? I just want to eek out a few more years from a 13-year old platform. I'll probably eventually move to a BMW RS or GT someday, but I just can't bring myself to drop the money while the XX is still comfy and fast enough. Thanks for any suggestions...

Still available?

Well, most of the people here already have one. How many people here (besides me) have XRs? One may have better luck on a VTR or VFR board, or on a very broad-based one like ADVRider.com or Sport-Touring.net. Both of the latter have a ton of folks who are diverse bike people and many have means.

Is your avatar a clue as to the cause? I always thought Betty was way hotter than Wilma. How do guys like Barney get chicks like that?

Due to a minor cosmetic mangling that happened during the move to Tennessee, I need a nice black front fender that will fit a '97. I would assume that all years are the same, unless anyone can instruct me to the contrary...

Raising the rear is a common mod to these bikes to sharpen the steering; I would imagine that dropping the triples would have a similar effect, though I don't know about the clearance issues one might have with the fairing under full compression. I am unaware of an aftermarket lowering link, but I wouldn't rule it out nor the possibility of having one fabbed. Scalloping the seat and lowering it with high-density foam (Sargeant is a good source for this seat mod) would give you an additional gain.

It isn't nearly worth that much. They are all over craigslist for half that, and some of them are new in the crate. Even if it hasn't been used much, you can never know how it has been used. Pics would help. Is that price shipped? They didn't come in that color that year.

Since my specialty is reviving old threads... Still got the kickstand???

Any left? Shows what I get for not paying attention to the FS thread...
