and gonna get it installed and setup too. dropped it off with the guys from go-race.com 3 weeks back or so and gave them a call today. turns out he didn't have to replace the spring which saved me $100. Sorry no pics yet only of what it was before the rebuild. Couldn't curb my enthusiasm though. will get pics of it installed asap

oh and thanks marm for selling it to me

 

Takes pics of your install, I wanna see how much of a PITA it is or isn't.

 

Good for you

 

Can they do my tires for me, Duncan is being a bitch.

 

They're gonna do the install.. I'll grab my camera I suppose.


How is duncan being a bitch about it? go in on a sat to get them done. first come first serve

 

Awesome #9! Git 'er done!

 

he said he researched with fox and said the shock is barely off of the weight I told him. Now I'm heavier then that now but my goal weight is below what I told him so it should work out

 

well... just my luck I have a flat tire.... No install for me today and I'm stuck having to fork out more money to get on the road again... this blows...

You seem to have the worst luck with your bike, sorry man

 

Doh! Can you get that tire-warranty?

 

no tire warranty. good news is I got a new one already. only a $160 lighter... Ran by the guy's place that has my fox twin clicker and looked at it. Looks good. that's gonna set me back $250 but all in all great deal for the shock in the end. that'll get done tomorrow morning

I think rguy was at Duncan when I was there cause I saw his bike but I didn't see him... Bike was gone by the time I left

Nice civic. Oh, and thanks for saying whats up!

Rguy, who was the dude talking outside with the GM when you said hi to him...

 

not sure. Someone he knows I guess. That was his new gixxer750 though. Sick bike. I'm jealous Where were you when I came in? heh I was like oh snap but was semi pissed at the same time to bother looking around

Lol..no no.. I was talking in third person. That was me talking to him, about the gsxr-750 and how much he couldget me one for...

 

oh ha. yeah. That's Eric the GM. Good guy. Awesome rider. He's lucky cause he'll take out the demo bikes like the 1000rr, new gixxer 750 and what not.

 

Love connection...?

 

don't be jealous of my fox shock

 

Yeah he was pretty cool. Looks like you're having bad luck with your bike just like me. I got within 1/2 mile from home when my bike straight up DIED and wouldnt even try to start. THe bitch is parked across from Bdubs till i figure out what the expletive went wrong.

 

you want some help? I've done enough on mine to have an idea with most things. wouldn't want to leave it there long...

Man, you should've seen the places I put that reservoir before sending it your way.

 

is that why it was "blown"

pics to come of the carnage that was my tire. Looked almost like there were 2 holes but definetely 1 big one

It's not a result of the bag falling on your tire, is it?

As for the "blown" shock, let's just say if it looks like chocolate, it probably isn't....

 

completely unrelated to the bag. I've put a good 1500 miles on it since that happened. It happened on the way home last night for sure after I went down to the river.


anyways here's a couple pics:

Something's missing.... Can't quite put my finger on it


You can clearly see where the hole is. I had taken out the thing that was in it already


Close up


New Tires are GOOOOOOOOD. Too bad they don't grow in fields... They got me in quick since it was just the wheel and only takes like 10 minutes tops to do. Plus I know everyone there and the GM made sure it got done


All better. now to scrub it in once it gets a lil cooler... I'm still sweating like crazy

 

your bike hates you....and so do I

 

ill probably will have built an entirely new bike by the time I'm done with this thing at the rate I'm going
