Pulled apart her 05 gsxr600 forks and put in some SonicSprings 1.0kg/mm pogos, new seals for the hell of it and some new 7.5w oil. now to get it adjusted right.
 
don't expect it to stay looking good
 
finished up the subframe - well, other than the latch, which will get here today or tomorrow - last night, tested it today

oh of course not. Looked like a turd hanging off my front cylinder before so I had to do something after 3 years of beatins. I give it a few weeks before the spots start forming again.

Pulled off the clubman bars and threw on the GSXR clipons I had sitting in the cabinet. Glad I kept all my S cables and brake lines. :) There is about a 6" difference in bar height. better start packin some tylenol for the longer rides.

Also when I did the fork springs the other day I noticed my front brake pads were about 50% so I replaced those with some new EBC HH pads from my local zuki dealer.
 
Woke up feeling pretty ****ty, went for a ride.
Rode the same stretch of curves back and forth 3 or 4 times.
Feel much better now.
Life would suck without a motorcycle.

Big amen for that! :D
 
not directly for the bike, but i put an eye hook in the ceiling of the garage so i can lift the front end or lift it from the tail so i can do fork or rear shock maint.
 
Installed a STRE from Dano. Cant tell a huge difference on my 1000. I havent really gotten on it yet either.
Does anyone else have Dano's TRE?
