Your welcome for all my help! Good info, will keep this in mind. I'm doing my fluid this weekend.

I don't mind it, just felt squishy at first. Particularly in comparison to most other bikes I've had (Fz1, 919, FJR...). No complaints about overall braking power, just that I'm not on the track, so I do use the rear brake, and sometimes trail brake because I am a big fan of late apex or delayed apex on the street. Did I mention, this bike is freeking fast!

Dude, run your ebay adds for 3 days. 7 days is just wasting time. Your not going to get extra bids by running it for 7 days. Don't know why you didn't offer them on the forum for the price you wanted before going to fee-bay.

That makes sense. When I apply front and rear break, there is less play, and it feels fine. Didn't think there was air in there, but it's just different.

Only had my 99 BB for a few days, but have ridden about 200 miles. I noticed that when engaging just the rear break, I swear I could pound the pedal, and the rear tire won't lock up. It has new rear pads on it, so on my slab ride home, I gently breaked frequently at speed to get the pads to set a bit more. Now 200 miles later, I think I could stand on the rear brake and it won't lock up the rear tire. However, if I apply front and rear break at the same time, it seems spot on. Is this just noraml due to the linked break system? Or is it possible there is some air in my rear break lines?

that sucks dude! No witnesses?

Exactly the type of scenario I figured..... Glad it all worked out. If he was closer I would have bought his bike, just found one way closer to me.

Excellent! My poor FJR is sitting in the corning staring at me with a gleaming scowl of dissaproval....

Tried a search, couldn't find anything but for sale corbins. Also looked under the differences by year pinned thread, and it didn't mention anything. Just trying to find out if the seat mounts ever changed. I'm looking to buy a corbin for a 99, and I didn't know if any year seat would fit?

I was talking to him about buying his bike. He mentioned that he will be out of town a lot duirng this month. Probably away on a business trip or something. Sounded legit, doubt he would try to sell me a motorcycle and pick me up from the airport if it was scamage...

Oh, I get it! Sorry, I didn't catch the rubber part. Thought that was part of the mount or something. So basically, I'd just have to order a set of rubber grips (or whatever they are called) from a yamaha dealer for a later model BB, then I could use them. Sorry, just getting my BB tomorrow, so trying to figure stuff out!

So these would likely be a no go for a 99 then huh?

Damn, that's a great deal.... I wish it was in my budget, but I just cannot afford that much right now. DAMN YOU SLUMPING ECONOMY!!!!!!

Yesh, I must know, I'm in the market, and your closer to me than the one I want in CA!!!
