For Sale: 1 pair Vanson Technical Rider Sport Pants, size 36. These are Vanson's top-of-the-line sport riding pants. They have never been down nor ridden in the rain. There are no rips, stains, loose zippers, or odors. They are in excellent used condition. Includes back and side attachment panels to attach to Vanson Jackets.
I have installed Vanson's GP hard plastic knee and shin protectors, as well as the leather velcro field covers. With these extras installed, the pants would cost you over $650, not including tax or shipping.
From the Vanson site:
A completely new and different style, this update of the Sport Rider pant offers the comfort and protection features found in our road racing suits, with a completely modified fit. Areas of Schoeller Keprotec® in the inner thigh, and behind the knee provide greater flexibility and reduced bulk, which allows a snug fit and enables you to move smoothly while on the bike. Leather expansion panels above the knee and at the back waist also aid mobility. These pants feature the brand new 3 part jacket/pant attachment system.
Padded lower back support
Fully removable Athletic mesh liner
VELCRO® brand fastener for race pucks. Hip, knee/shin armor standard
Adjustable waistband

For Sale: 2 XX brake pedals. Both are used and show a little rash on the tip. Both are straight except for the modified one, which has been bent and filled in (welded) on the top side for strength; it moves the pedal downward for those with Dave's peg lowering brackets. I found this to help significantly on my bike. This is a different pedal, but you get the idea:
The stock one is $27 shipped.
The modified one is $50 shipped.
Payment by paypal only.
PM me with questions.

It has been down on the right side in a parking lot at less than 3 mph. I painted the right lower cowl with factory match paint, it looks worse in the pic than in person (you have to be less than 6 inches away to see it - no tabs missing or cracks from the dtop). The only other evidence is a mark on the right side bag, where I did the same thing. I have added a lot more pics to the original post.

Sold
Email me with any questions you have on this. I am not open to trades at this time. I'd thought I'd give those on the forum first dibs; it will go to craigslist after a few weeks. I am in the Seattle area.
For Sale: 1 2003 Honda CBR1100XX. I am the second owner, and it has just under 9,700 miles on it. I have the clear title in hand. It has always been garaged, and has not been ridden in the rain. Clutch and brake fluids are clear. Oil changes and chain lubes performed at proper intervals or sooner. The battery is always attached to a battery tender when garaged. I have added Sta-bil to the tank before every winter storage. It also gets a regular dose of Seafoam to keep the fuel system in top shape.
The engine and exhaust are 100% stock. It currently wears a Pirelli Diablo front and a Diablo Strada rear. Tires each have ~ 5000 miles on them. They are in good shape and are not cupped. Coolant has been changed to NPG+ by Evans Cooling.
While some mods have been done to this XX, nothing that has been done is not easily reversible. Included are the parts needed to return it to stock.
Aftermarket items:
Rick Mayer custom saddle.
Europe-only Honda OEM panniers.
LED turn signals, front and rear, with DOT-approved electronic flash relay.
MRA Vario adjustable windscreen.
Custom Peg Lowering Brackets (w/ modified brake pedal - stock pedal included.
Gen Mar Bar Risers.
Kaoko Throttle Lock.
BMW touring grips.
6mm rear shock shim. (I have modified the sidestand to compensate for the additional height in the rear. A stock sidestand is also included.)
Custom radiator grill protector.
Lockhart Phillips tank bra (also has 3M protective film underneath).

For Sale: 1 upper cowl stay from an '03 BB. I had a right side parking lot drop over a year ago and just got around to installing the new one. While it is not straight, it is not off by a lot. It is noticeable when observing the dash while moving; it appears to "yaw" slightly like a plane in a crosswind. I am guessing there is someone here who could straighten and use this.
No longer for sale here, off to the Bay!

Linear DTD opener with a low profile heat-shrink-sealed remote pushbutton. I secured this under my seat and zip tied the button to the support bar on my hard bags. Works like a charm. Sold my condo, don't need the opener anymore. Open your garage door without having to stop and fumble with the opener. Battery included.
$15 shipped. PM me with questions.

For Sale: 1 pair Adidas Monaco GP race-inspired shoes. Goodyear rubber, GP tread pattern. Men's size 7 1/2 US. Too small for my son. Like new, worn twice? $25 shipped, paypal or USPS money order. PM me with questions. First "I'll take it" posted gets 'em.

Got a bad o ring on my chain. Still on the stock RK 50 LFO-Z1 chain (8k miles). It has been superceded by the RK 530 LFO. Looking for an extra link to fix it. Anyone have a spare link for this chain?
-
Thanks for the reply. I'll mark that pin and watch it.
-
I was cleaning my chain today and noticed a broken o-ring. Just hit 8k miles TODAY. I have been using the motorex cleaner and lube every 200 miles religiously. It's the factory DID chain on a 2005 import '03. I do not use any brushes to clean it, just rags.
Is is time for a new chain already?

I recently changed out my coolant to Evans NPG+. I don't have a lot of miles on my bird, but I noticed how my radiator had some damaged fins. I had read Warchild's radiator guard fab and install, and decided this would be the perfect time to install it.
A little history first, though. I had tried once before to install the guard but realized there were differences between his write up and the 03 I have. Following his recommendation of 16 3/4" of mesh opening turned out to be much too wide. As I was living in a condo and doing the work ninja-style in a communal garage, I scratched that project off the list.
Fast forward to the present. I'm in a house with a garage and all my tools. I measured the radiator and came up with a total width of 15 1/4" for the guard. Knowing this I followed his guide and made one up. After paint and a really easily fabricated mount, I'm good to go. It was really thoughtful of Honda to put a mounting location right at the base of the radiator. It clears the inside of the bodywork by less than 1/4" on each side; a little narrower overall wouldn't hurt.
Thanks to Warchild for the write up. It's here:

For higher mileage, I like the Pirelli combo of Diablo front / Strada rear.

Has anyone had any issues with the side stand tab getting in the way of shifting with these brackets installed? My side stand "kick tab" seems to be in the way and I can 't get a good chunk of toe on the shift lever. Maybe my sidestand is bent???
I ground mine off. I bought a spare sidestand CHEAP to put it back to stock if I ever need to.
I also welded a stack of steel plate to raise the sidestand up on account of the 6mm rear shim.

I've used the ELFR-1 with no problems.

All that mumbo jumbo high $ earplug business is....... bullshit............. IMHO. I get the highest NRR/SNR and the cheapest I can find in size large. Keep in mind there are different sizes.
usually NRR33 /SNR37
That's great if the disposables don't irritate your ear canals. After 2-3 days of the foamies my ears are freakin raw.
01xxallen, if they don't fit right go back to your audiologist and tell them you want them just a bit oversized. It's their job to make them fit right. That's what I did. No gap whatsoever when I move my jaw.

I work in a noisy environment and wear earplugs 100% of the time while working. I went to an audiologist and was fitted for custom earplugs. Ran ~ $60. It's the same process as getting fitted for a hearing aid, only the result is a solid piece of rubber/silicone/whatever. I wear these while riding and have never looked back. Since shooting is another hobby of mine these get used a lot. Over 3 years late and still on the same pair. You can't replace your hearing.

PM sent if you do sell the farkles. Namely the HIDs and the radiator guard.

Here's a Craigslist ad for a tank - CHEAP. Looks like needs some TLC, but ad says no dents. Don't know the year. I am not affiliated with the seller. Seattle area.

PM sent on the Mayer seat.

Another satisfied Pirelli customer w/ a Diablo front / Strada rear. More of a sportTOURing setup.

Crappy pics. Tough to get good side shots when their used bikes are lined up like that.
Aftermarket screen and grips. Throttlemeister. Their used bikes appear to be left outdoors during the day, rain or shine. Still very clean. Being as how they're lined up, I couldn't inspect the stator cover for signs of droppage.
For Sale: Stock brake pedal and modified pedal for lower pegs
