  1. I have a deep freezer here that we don't use. Works great. Just don't see a point in leaving it plugged in and empty. Before I put it out on the local forum or craigslist, I thought I'd offer it up here and see if any of the reasonably local to Madison gang were interested in it. Model: Hotpoint FH15C Interior dimensions: 40"W, 23" L, 30" deep. You haul it.. it's not overly heavy, but with my ganked ankle, I'd prefer to not have to carry it up the stairs.
  2. Or "sell" it to someone out of state until you reach the mileage.
  3. How many miles do you have to go?
  4. If I was in your shoes, I'd make real good friends with Stan... http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?showuser=893
  5. I just finished doing it again during the repair after my recent off. Took the same amount of time, although I have to admit, the first one actually came out better than this time. Sigh. And the plate's dirtier
  6. Ok... My plan was to get it to either Ed or another control rider from Madison. As long as you have it sorted, I'll quit looking. Wish I could come down and hang with you guys... stupid work.
  7. I will see what Madison Motorsports can do for me tomorrow, Tim. If they don't have one in stock, they may be able to get it for me next day.
  8. I ordered a new upper stay after my crash, and it turns out the one that's on it is straight, so I won't need it. $100 + actual shipping cost.
  9. FYI: White Buffalo Racing carries the DID chain in the correct length, so no cutting required. White Buffalo's web site appears to be down. Has been for a little while. Not sure what's up.
  10. I remember being told that if i put a new chain on a worn sprocket it will just wear everything out. The rear sproket shows no bad signs of wear but i am nervous about leaving it on. I assume a rear sproket is fifty bucks ish. Is there a difference between the rk and the did. I assume your are giving me the x ring version . Thanks for you help on the particulars RE: Rear Sprocket.. That's your call, but I have easily seen 50k miles + on OEM rear spockets (I switched to a Vortex at 50k miles, it's not wearing either) without seeing any adverse effects on chain wear. Your mileage may vary. Not really huge difference, the key is to make sure you get the one that's rated for the awesome power of the XX. I haven't looked at pricing for the RK. Do you ride with ear plugs? Because even without, I don't hear any difference over 25mph due to wind noise, and I don't notice any additional vibration/etc either.
  11. Nice write up, Joe. This should REALLY be moved to the "Important/Useful threads" section once it's run through the garage for a little while.
  12. 15k miles is about right. Stock rear sprockets last forever. Really. Stock front sprocket (17t) is probably due, but you could probably get by for a while without changing it. Look for Sunstar, JT or AFAM if you want aftermarket. OEM front sprockets are EXPENSIVE, but have a rubber damper on it which is supposed to help with chain noise. You won't notice it if it's not there. I can get you a Sunstar 17t for between $25-$35. Chain: DID ZVM2, 110 links. Most places you can buy the chain it will come in 120 links, and you'll have to cut it down to 110. DID ZVM2 chains have recently gone up in price. I can call tomorrow and see what kind of price I can get for you, but expect to pay between 145-155 for the chain. I will call tomorrow and get you real prices, if you're interested. As for a "how to" http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=53782
  13. Here's the thing, Troy: The maximum the forks will extend has nothing to do with the length of the spacers and springs. What it DOES have something to do with is the amount of rider sag. Stronger springs = less compression when there's weight on it, therefore it sits higher. We did not set your sag, but really should. Ideally, with the correction in the spring weight according to the Racetech web site, your sag should be close with the same length springs/spacers.
  14. I've got one.. with a giant crack down the middle. Sigh....
  15. That is an excellent addition. It is not as elegant as the combined deal I had in mind, but I am going to order one today. As far as Rush, I will put a knofe to my schedule. Wifey and I are scheduled to get back from Canada July 1 or 2, what day are they playing? It would be tight, but doable. Haven't seen them since '93 in Las Cruces, NM. BTW, is this a cyclefarkle product?? No, it's not a cyclefarkle product, I found that one years ago. July 3rd is the concert. Swing through here on the way home
  16. I use the visual alert from marcparnes.com http://www.marcparnes.com/Visual_Alert.htm It's powered off of the speaker, works like a champ. Would probably work great with a splitter and your screamer. As a side note... Rush is coming to Summerfest in Milwaukee this year over the July 4th weekend. Wanna come up and go along with me???
  17. Agreed.. best farkle you could add to the bike. The surge considerably less intense in high gear. It's worth making sure your dip switch settings are correct. Check out the settings here: http://home.comcast.net/~steve.huminski/cb...ndex_cruise.htm Pay special attention to the sensitivity settings for switches 4 and 5. 4 should be on, 5 should be off. Low sensitivity for light vehicles with high horsepower.

  19. Just in case you're thinking about doing something with the F4 you have (as indicated by your profile), I know Caleb (outlawgibbs) was looking to replace his R6 with an F4 for his girl. http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=66967 It would make a PERFECT track bike. My guess he'd take the F4 and some cash for the difference in value.
  20. Title says it all.. if you have a right hand mirror stalk that's not broken, PM me, I'm interested.
  21. It's on my list of stuff to do, to come up with something. Sounds like a good weekend project, then I have to get the machine shop to make them. Hmmmm :icon_think:
  22. Yea, I've got one. It's seen some use, but it would be free to a good home. You cover shipping, and it's yours. PM me an address.
