I made the highlights at Killboy!

For those that dont know, killboy/Darrell Cannon is a photographer full time and a resident near the Dragon. See www.tailofthedragon.com for more info. At any rate, I thought it was neat to make the highlights. Cheers.

Re: Rude Awaking=Somone stole my bike

Be very careful, VERY CAREFUL of what you post up on here. You dont want anything you've said here to come back and bite you if something were to go wrong. If you had an altercation with someone that went bad (for them) they could use your statements here against you. Jus sayin ;) I know its a tough...

Home of 3 blind mice found!!!! in my airbox (pics inside)

Been meaning to upload these for a while. While checking out the bike I decided to have a look at the air filter. Bike has not run like I think it should since I got it but does 'ok'. Have a look at what I found in my air filter and airbox. http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh296/buckner163/0808091...

Where to get brake rotors

I've looked around the web and found a few places here and there and most are priced abou the same, $200ish each for the EBC rotors. Does that seem about right? My fronts are warped and I knew that going into the purchase I was gonna have to get a set before long. Unless theres another obvious sourc...

Re: New guy with new(to me) bike

I first spent 6 years in the Navy toiling in an engineroom. After a substantial break in service I went back into the Air Guard. That wasnt quite enough for me so I ended up in the Air Force as military police. FWIW, our unit participated in a 26.2 mile ruck march in April(35lb rucksack). I was able...

Re: New guy with new(to me) bike

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I'm a pretty fair mechanic on vehicles, GM stuff mostly. I spent about 5 years working at a dealership as a tech before I went back active duty. I've got a decent collection of tools and a decent sized detached garage to play in that I'm just finishing up on now...

Which service manual to get?

Found the Haynes but dont know if they are any good or not. I know in the past I've had them for cars but they were pretty basic. Do most use the factory service manual? If so where do you source it at? Just a little background info, I've worked as a tech at a dealership on CARS and consider myself ...

New guy with new(to me) bike

After taking 10 years off I got back on a bike. My last bike was a FZR600, a 93 odly enough. I had been wanting another bike for a while and ran across a cherry 93 FZR 1000 at a local dealer. All original graphics, paint and fairings. 27k miles and 2 owners. The last owner had it since 95. It needs ...
