Got my new to me slightly blemished tank today! Removed and stripped the OG really dented one and readied for paint. Mended the cracks in the tail piece for bondo-ing. Pics soon. On a side note, when pulling the tank, I just pulled the fuel pump out and left it attached sitting on the frame. Will it be ok there for some time or does it need to be covered/removed/anything?

We threw Osiris' in a double plastic bag and then a bucket. I would at least cover it to keep it clean...
Got the OEM windscreen today, and installed it when I got home. 30 degree F test ride tomorrow morning on the way to work! Living in the mountains and driving 38 miles out to the desert to work gives me a big swing in temperature - sometimes up to 70 degrees from early morning to mid-afternoon.

uh? readable english please? i'm very offended....
You show me how to enable subs in a video and make it available on youtube and I'll do it.
Basically, I had sideways throttle play in my grip. It bugged me, so I made a plastic shim that went on the outside near the bar end; enough to keep it snug but not bind the throttle.
5/8ths socket used to cut internal diameter, and 24mm to cut the outer. Used a plastic cap off of the round cardboard tube (that my carbon fiber vinyl came in).
Something I should have done when I put my 900rr header on. Probably didn't need it at the midpipe. The fit was already so dang tight from the ceramic coating, but at the midpipe to can junction it definitely needed it.
My GSXR master cylinder didn't have a mirror mount like the stock one does, so I had to buy one on Amazon (~$10).
had to shift some things around a bit, bend my reservoir mount forward a bit (took advantage to also paint it black) and re-adjust my lever, but I finally got my left mirror back on
looks good! keep up the work! oh and if u ever want to sell the mirrors, i'll be your first buyer hahah.
as for subtitles, you'll have to edit them into the video yourself. the english transcribe thing is crap lol! comes up with some hilarious choice of words though!
where did you put the straps on the bike from the ladder? I'll be installing mine next week. just the 2 square bars underneath the seat? Did you have to lift the front up on a stand before you raised the rear with your ladder technique?
Last batch of new parts came in today. Front and rear rotors, Pilot Road 2 front tire, DID chain, rear brake pads. Just gotta find time to put it all on...

Just put together a better ram ball mount. Handlebar mirror bracket + 1" RAM ball with 10mm thread. It just looks better than the U bolt and rubber bolt ends.
ill be installing a new chain, worked on it a little too late last night(got sleepy) and took too many links off the red one i had ordered, put on a new michelin pilot road 3 as well as new front and rear sprocket...and currently in the process of ordering an integrated tail light and led turn signals...anyone have tips for installing led parts? do i need a special relay or something?

Well after going out to eat, I thought of this idea. It's too late in the night to do, so I shall do it tomorrow. I was thinking of only mounting the adjuster with 1 screw on the supplied bracket, and mounting the setup vertically attached to that little black electric thing. I took some pictures to give you a rough idea. I will need to grind a little out of the plastic tray where the old reservoir cable used to be. Should still be easily accessable yet hidden.

Be careful, that's your lean angle sensor, don't break it...
Wrapped a bunch of parts in 3M di-noc carbon vinyl today. Very happy with the end results. Application was a little tricky and is a two person job, you really have to heat and tug on it to get it smooth.

Thanks! A co-worker picked up a huge 200m roll for his tint/wrap business, I picked up 40 sq/ft yesterday to play around with. Me and a friend spent 8hrs in the garage wrapping anything that wasn't bolted down.
Like yourself I am hoping to get into doing some true CF layups this summer. It's been a long time since I laid any mats, going to tool up this summer and see if I still got it.

So I just finished wrapping my Buell M2 windscreen. Next up will be a set of OEM exhaust heatshields & a smoothed tail cowl. These will both be going up FS: once they are completed.
