Doing ok. Very busy this year. How are you doing bud?
I have the front turn signals if you need them but not the tail. My bike had an eliminator when I got it.

Fork cartridges, rebuild, re-valve and re-spring
Shock rebuild, re-valve and re-spring

I currently have Ohlins, K-Tech, and Elka as product lines and am looking to expand those as needed. Nitron looks like a great shock as well.

I just re-sprung a set of FZ-09 forks this weekend and will be offering a stock '09+ R1 rear shock that has been re-valved and re-sprung on the cheap with a swap out.

hey all, how is everybody?
i keep falling off the face of the earth i swear, been a crazy year thus far for me. cant wait to get back onto two wheels again, pretty bummed that today was so nice and i didnt go ride

Morning squad. I hope you all enjoyed the nice weather yesterday.

Hawk, good to hear from you.

I've been extremely busy. Working on big projects at work and lots going on at home. Also applying to other jobs which soaks up so much time.

I decided that I will be downsizing my toy collection this year. That means that I will be selling the R1. Really hate to do it but I've been riding the 990 for the most part and with the dedicated track bike I don't see me riding the R1 much. We will see how it goes and how much I will miss her. And what Yamaha will come up with in 2015.

Looks like I will be returning her to stock condition before the sale. So if anybody is interested in 06 parts I can post them here first.

That's always sad to hear.

My car has started acting up again ad I can't do anything about it till its warmer so I can have it apart for a few days while I fix it, annnd I just had to put two new tires on her.
So excited to ride again though I'm dying for it. Trying not to go crazy buying things for her.

There is always something needing fixing on cars. I spent couple hours yesterday working on my new bike-hauler. Have to get her ready for the track season.

hey Tom, sad to see the r1 go, but what type of windscreen do you have? im in the market to get a clear DB or better screen.

Good to hear from you Hawk, i hate winter but one side has to due to the fact that you cannot work in winter time and even in a unheated garage it gets pretty cold.

On another note, i was able to get out on the 2s Saturday. Finally some spring type weather.

Great the you were able to ride this weekend. The windscreen I have is a puig db dark smoke.


I pulled off the ohlins damper and the corbin seat yesterday. Which will be going for sale soon.

ahh are you looking to sell the r1 ?

wouldn't happen to have a solo cowl you'd be getting rid of?
