  1. That sure is a sweet looking ride with some awesome goodies on it. Wish I was in a better position. GLWS.
  2. Oh I am liking the yellow. Been wanting one myself. But alas no money right now. Good luck on the sale.
  3. Damn, If I lived close to you, that would be mine. Good move for a board member that gets it.
  4. I am running the Sonic 1.1's in the forks. Used 10w with a 1/2" over book recomendation for height. I like the feel that this gives me on the frontend. No other mods to the forks.
  5. Pretty sure I have solved the K&N now. After 100K, I deceided it was time to change out the float needles. Figured they were well worn. Anyways in doing so I checked the float height as I went along. Got to the second one and discovered they were different. Never dawned on me to check them before when I was sorting it all out before. Started over with the largest setting. Got all 4 at the same setting. Put it all back together. What happened? It was running a tad rich. Flat spots, not bad. But noticable. Even on roll on. A little popping on the Exhaust. Tell tale signs of being rich. Not blowing black smoke out the exhaust. So, I need more air or drop the mains. Didn't feel like dropping the mains. So A K&N was in order. Finially got a chance today to install and test ride. Pulls a bit harder than before. No flat spots. Either full twist or roll on. I am pretty sure the elusive K&N is solved for the carbie. Here's my details. Might change slightly for different exhausts. Mine is the Two Bro's Shotgun. I am also at sea level here in Florida. Reduce your mains 1 point for every 1,000 ft above sea level. Factory Pro kit. 165 mains (all 4) Needles on 2nd clip from top. With 1 shim installed. Float height set at 9/16ths. (all 4) Hope it works for anyone as well it is working for me. Thought I'd share my findings.
  6. Little over 8k miles. Bought it for my wife several years ago. She learned and got her D/L. Riding just wasn't for her. New tires and other bits to clean it up. Runs good. Looking to get $2500 or OBO for it. Will consider trades too. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks,
  7. hmmm ... what part of Orlando you in ... might be worth a ride that way Right next to the airport. OIA. You want it, come get it. PM me for my number if your interested in traveling this way.
  8. I got one laying around. I don't need.
  9. All yours. I'm good still with the stocker that's on mine still. There's an offer for you cbrbear.
  10. I know you said make offer. But what do you have in mind?
  11. I use GIVI bags. Had mine since 04. Still holding up great.

    forks

    I just recently changed my oil in the forks. I was using a 5wt oil. Per all of the disussions. Well I wanted to experimen some. The only thing differnt to mine are the springs. Other than that, bone stock. ANyways. I wentt back to the stock 10wt. However, I raised the fork oil approximatly another 1/2 to3/4in from the book setting. Therefore reducing the air gap. The front end feel is awesome. I can feel everything that is going on with the front end. Didn't quite have that before with the 5wt and book oil height. Just have to experiment and see what works for you.
  13. If gas is spilling out from the overflow. I would pay perticular attention to the needles and seats. You could have a bad one. Which would cause it to stick. Thus sreating the overflow. Good luck. Hope you find the problem. That was mine on a differnt bike. I can't tell you how many times I had the carbs off, before figuring it out.
  14. Awesome color on that. Good Luck with the sale. Shouldn't take too long.
  15. I need both rims. I hit a monster pothole yesterday. Bent both of the rims. I have a $500 dec on insurance. So it will be cheaper to buy used. Color dosen't matter to me. What have you got and how much? Thanks guys. Forgot to add my bird is a 98 model year carbed.
  16. Check this out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-HONDA-...=item5190404a76
  17. I got one I'm not using anymore. Not sure what the going rate(pricing) or shipping from Florida would be. Perhaps we could come to an agreement. Let me know. Pics are from my phone. i can take better ones perhaps.
