i have a honda tank pad like the one above to protect the tank from my belt. i also use sniders paint guard to protect the sides and under my tank bag. its a clear vinyl that sticks on with static electricity. cut it to fit spray on some water then apply and squegee the water bubbles out. can hardly tell its there. looks good and peels off easy.

its different state by state i have state farm. $293 every six months for full coverage. i'm 31 single with no tickets. they have about the best deal going in my area. but like steve said they will try to dick you if you get a ticket. i know that from past experience.

outta atleast call the better business bureau. that way you can add your name to the list of complaints.

i'm 6'5" and i have a corbin seat with stock pegs. the seat is lower but i dont really notice it. it has made one heck of a difference on my butt. i would highly recommend a corbin to anyone interested.

go to your local bike/atv shop. if you ask they probably have a display with mini tubes of the grip glue. just enough to do 1 or 2 sets of grips. costs only a buck or two.

whats typical? down 1 in the front?

i have no personal experience with them. but i do have a friend who has them mounted on his busa. he has had them since the first of last summer. he does burnouts on a regular basis and they still look brand new. (which leads me to believe they have little or no grip). the guy who sold them to him, told him that he would have trouble getting them to hook up on the strip. said that everyone he had sold complained about not hooking up. but my friend bought them cause they were the cheapest.(cheap guy). they break loose with the slightest flick of the wrist. :???: not sure about all of these tires so take this with a grain of salt

thanks for the info guys. the restricted air flow for the FI bikes makes sense. just wondering. to me the grills look cool.

thanks. anybody know if they stopped using them on the fi models. also do you happen to have a part # or microfiche link to them?

i've noticed on a lot of pics of you guys bikes that yall have mesh grills in the ram air intakes. is this factory? looks to me like it is but my '03 doesn't have them. i tried looking for them on ronayers but no luck. if they are factory can someone show me where i can find them. thanks

got the socket.

to change the springs out on the front, what all do you need? i.e. special tools, parts, oil ??? the reason i ask is i like to get everything i need before i start. nothing worse than getting into a job only to realize you need something and have to wait and order it. i have put together harley type forks but never a metric fork. the harley ones are pretty easy but i wasnt sure about the xx forks.

i made a lift for the front or rear. its a stand the goes over the bike and i use a tiedown strap to lift the bike up. this is kind of the same as hoisting from the ceiling only i can move it around to get it in position. i used 1" pipe with threaded ends and some pipe elbows and tees. it cost me about $80 bucks total at home depot. once i got it together i welded the pipes so they would not loosen. finished it sort of looks like a clothes rack. i would post a pic but i don't have a new photo host since photoisland went down. if you want one i could email it just pm me.

the cord i ordered from autocom worked. it solved the problem and it sounds good. it is the: isolated mono lead(2.5mm) part#173 thanks all for the help

whats the part number?
