  1. Well that killed a hour. Not my first time either. Hope not my last either. Great Guy,
  2. I have a red set, complete, new, I would like to sell. 350 plus shipping, Looks nice. China ....
  3. If the motor is hydolocked, you will need to pull the spark plugs and try to turn over the motor to get the gas out. Put something over the holes, wear goggles. Bump the starter. Smell your oil first. Change if you can smell gas,,,,then your FPR,,,then pull the plugs and bump over,,easy. This is what I think is wrong.
  4. I bought one off ebay that was too small for me. Thought I would offer it here before I put it back on there. Broke in, so soft, but perfect. With serialized key fob too. If your chest is 44 and your belly 40 will fit. Pictures if your interested. 300 shipped usa. 690 new.

    de-chrome?

    Look up electroysis. Not going to come off with anything you mentioned. Basically a coating of chromium metal plating. A bad one for sure because they failed to clean the metal well enough. So it is just layed on top of the aluminum in a sheet. Kinda like laying aluminum foil on it only harder than shit.
  6. so much to add to this that I just don't have time. Frame is cut and so is the forks, in basic terms. Ask Elixer, he has done it.
  7. yep, must have tool. Weis, left right straight, and heavy. Good and bad set.
  8. yep, does. send 30 to trurotor@aol.com via paypal with all your info.
  9. I did a write up on the cam markings on Deans(elixer), motor and cams, webs, and all the ones I had at the time,,,somewhere. Or was it the other one...Can't remember, search is your friend. Just not enough time anymore, sorry
  10. I agree, loaded heights mean much more.
  11. Makers? Not really, just looking at all the great links posted in this.
  12. I have the forks in the trees very close to what they were in the zx trees now. About 2 inches sticking above the top of the rc tree. The measurement of the body to ground on the centerstand is 4 3/4 inches with the preload in the center. Dropping the forks did not change that number as much as I thought. I put the stand on the TSR and it was above 6" but with as high as the rear is on it probably pushing down the front a little. Just to see. I had the preload all the way out too with the forks flush with the top of the clipons and felt the same, better than where the preloads were supposed to be, so dropping them helped to regain what the zx felt like with the preload in the middle. I also started out with the compression and rebound settings in the middle. And adjusted two clicks at a time to feel the difference, on a road that had curves.
  13. replace, cable is frayed and going to break even if you could get it to move. wires stick in the housing and bend.
  14. Nicely done Mike. Love the front fender. And the bars. So how do you like the ride? We have been looking at tree offsets, and trail, and supposing handling differences. Mine feels much different, with the rc trees than the zx. Just now getting the forks adjusted in the trees and the preload back to what it was. No corners in the area to ride to see if I can get it back to what it was with one turn preload to change from highway to twisties. The xx has a 35 offset and the zx has 32 and the rc51 has 30 as well as the TSR and the zx10 has 25 the rr has 25 too. Mine feels a lot less than that difference. Enough to be thinking about a dampener.
  15. I have some, but shipping without a return address could cause attention.
  16. check your sag first, but the adjustments for preload, is the problem,,, screw them all the way in and see what it feels like. The rear brake, needs a bigger piston in the master. problem is the one off the bike you got the caliper from aint gonna bolt up. So the size is what you need and then find one that will. I am in the same boat. Looking at some way to make an adapter, too. Somehow. My ideas on this are lacking a straight forward solution. I have the zx rear master, and have bought some others. Taken apart some, but the number is on the side. I ran into this on the quad when I put the four piston calipers on and found a goldwing master looked like the xx but was much bigger, like 3/4". I would have thought the xx would have larger masters with the number of pistons it uses.
