How difficult was it to toss that r6 rear shock on there? I need a replacement, bad lol, i still have the stock one with the reservoir :( It was relatively simple. I just went to ace hardware, and found the spacers that would work for me. I ended up using an insert for the sleeve and separate space...

Thanks for the input guys. As for the header, I was assuming it was a V&H SS since I saw someone elses posted somewhere as it being the same header. I apologize for any confusion. Not trying to get one over on anyone. That makes me wonder, WTH is it?! I did do the paint myself, in fact I did the ent...

The bike is impressive. I'm even more impressed with how clean, orderly and well lit the garage is!! I had stuff everywhere!

Thanks guys. I got lucky and got her for only $800. As for being a pro...not so much. Just patient and I had a vision of what I wanted. The color is called Metallic Cobalt Blue. It's pretty cool, it has this colorshift thing that they don't advertise. I think it's from the metallic flakes. Since the...

So I did this rebuild a few years ago. I always wanted to post the pics up on the Archives but never got around to it. Since the Archives are no more, I will try to be even more active here. I've started a thread in the streetfighter section since that is where the direction of my bike is headed. Bu...

What are you waiting for?! Pounce on that like a lion on a baby elephant!!

Thanks a ton rage! You da man!!

I was on the archives for a few years now. Over 150 posts. Since the archives seem to be a thing of the past, here I am! So I bought this bike a few years ago. I got it for a meager $800. Cosmetically it had issues, but mechanically it was relatively sound for a bike that had been stunted. The most ...

I just saw something else that has great potential for an overflow tank. Those new Aluminum beer bottles that Miller Lite is putting out. 12 and 16oz's!! Have a beer while working on your bike, and then re-use it! How's that for going green? Reduce, re-use, recycle!!

You are right. I did mount it to the heel guards. I drilled 2 holes in the heel guards, and used a piece of 1/8"x 1 1/2'' aluminum about 6" long. But you can use pretty much anything. I think it looks pretty sick. The sound levels aren't as loud as they were and, it seems to have made power across t...

I just recently put that same R6 exhaust on my bike. I ended up putting the muffler in the position I wanted, without the midpipe. Then I used a piece of old wire hanger to mock the bends. I took that piece of wire to the muffler shop, along with the the new exhaust and the measurement for the heade...

When I did the conversion, I just kept the dual post spark plugs that I already had in the motor. No need for gapping!! Just plug and play!

When I got the head, the valves were not stuck open. Everything looked normal. It was when I was doing the valve shim measurements that I realized that the #3 exhaust valves were sticking. I pulled off the head and camshafts, then sprayed some Seafoam onto the valves and let it soak in overnight. Th...

I'm thinking I used the wrong terminology. Let me clarify. When I say 'cranked' I mean that I rotated the camshaft by hand. It wasn't easy, but it was possible. Up until this point the engine ran fine. It's still a strong engine, just didn't have any adjustment left in the valve shims. I appreciate ...

I am in the process of replacing my valve head. The old one is to the point that it won't take anymore valve adjustment, the shims aren't that small! So i got the old head off, no problem. Put the replacement on and checked valve clearances. The #3 exhaust valves were sticking open. I messed around ...
