WRONG..Its the rider. Once again you prove your ignorance. A good rider will be quick on any half decent bike. Go look over at ********** forum. There are 2 guys from Chicago who post videos of their track days. They are killing it, often much faster than guys on SS bikes. One of them does have...

Look at the post on the dude on the other forum. Significant upgrade from halogen. I'm not saying the HID is no good, just for the money, the fact that this is 20 min job and you dont have to send your headlight away, the LED appears to be a good upgrade. His pics in the daylight and at night...

The HIDs are cool, but the cost and ease and speed of install makes the LED a better choice in my opinion

Im on my 4th oil change. I only put in 3 q now. 3.2 is showing over full and I heard can lead to seal leaks.

There is a guy on the other forum who has just done this mod. EC - LED Headlight Bulb - H4 High/Low Works real well and for the price, can't be beat. He has a bunch of pics of the install. Says it took less than 30 mins. I'd post the link but I was told that it gets deleted if I do that. So if...

Have you seen the DanMoto cut down? Hoover has done it to his. Looks real cool. Sounds sik as well

Im not really a fan of them either. There are a lot of stgretched 'Busas around here and they look crappy. I went on the other forum and followed Cracker's build. Turned out pretty good if you ask me. I wish he would post some pictures on here too, or you can see them over there

There is some great info on this forum that I have found for modding ideas. Be sure to look at the other forum as well, the guys over there have some great ideas too. Its nice to have multiple places to get ideas and opinions from.

I have the black Goodridge ones. They look great and feel very firm. Stock pads still.

No, you are entitled to your opinion. It's how you try and ram them down other peoples throats. I answered your question correctly. You felt the need to write a pompous, arrogant answer, that basically said the very same thing I did. You try and come off "holier than the rest", when all you do...

That makes total sense. Thank you Woody.

Yes. The spring preload controls the amount of sag or drop when I sit on my bike and ride it. Over road surfaces and through corners etc. The damping is what controls the rebound when the suspension travels. Basically, when you compress something ie the suspension, it has to "de compress". The...

Because the frame of the RI is pig ugly without the plastic for a start. And the 8 was very cheap. I for one dont need R1 power, but I would like a little more than I have now

Sorry, didn't see that I was arguing. I was trying to get some clarification. It's not hypothetical. FZ8 stock rear spring is 8.1 kg/mm FZ1 stock rear spring is 12 kg/mm So, it appears, that this shock will suit me better as I am "chunky" And for $60, and bolts in, in 10 mins, seems to be a...

Not sure I follow why it makes any difference that the 8 is a 1 with a smaller engine. The shock on the 8 only has spring preload adjustment, the one for the 1 comes with preload and rebound adjustments. Also, the spring has a higher rate on the 1 shock, so its stiffer out of the box. Plenty of...
