Will be going there in about an hr or so to pick up front forks. I def love the shop you got over there Peter. I might come down with steve and Jason (the person the forks are for) to get all 3 suspensions adjusted, probably at some point next week or something.

Says the man from Newton NH...... 30 min to Boston, 20 Min to Providence, 30 Min to the Cape, 30 min from Whistah, 10 min to Gillette Stadium, 10 min to 100 miles of the best trail riding in NE. Yeah, I'll take the sticks any day.

I'm 45 from Boston, 30 from Portsmouth, 20 min to the beaches, oh and I'm closer to Loudon.

I'm origionally 10 min from Boston so I feel like I'm in the sticks.

No matter though you still do amazing work.

PK,

Do you hit people with their shock/fork components if you open them up and see they're WAY past "should have been serviced"? If so, are you very strong? I bought my bike used this season, I swear!

Hey, I had my 97 CBR's fork oil changed for the first time back in 07 and it probably had 10 year old Japanese oil in the there.

He didn't hit me with the shock, but I'll bet he kicks himself in the ass for not doing it though.

The beatings will continue until moral improves!

So when I bring him the Penski off a race EX that doesn't even snap the tail up firmly like it should, with a scratched up reservoir thing, that hasn't been serviced since god knows when, along with my forks, I'm getting BOTH our beatings? Definitely mailing this shit.

The beatings will continue until moral improves!

So last night Jim said something about my bike not being as comfortable for the looooong rides I like to go on if I replace the rearsets with woodcraft.... Say it won't be so? Feedback? Suggestions? Killer brownie recipes? Anything?

Personal preference. Someone with longer legs may feel less comfortable with higher, further set rearsets.

[scubasteveRR]

got a great brownie reciepe... they make you happy too!

I spent quite a while on an 02 R6 w/ 1+1 vortech rearsets & suspension, so the rear was lifted a bit. I did full day rides on that thing and loved it. To date my favorite bike, ever. I miss it

edit: I'm 5'10 & wear pants w a 30" inseam. not really tall or long legged.

[Awesome]

Stock pegs usually have a rubber top, takes away some road feel but makes things more comfortable by reducing vibrations. The up and back of rearsets will make less of a difference than that. You're not a 'huge bitch', you're legs won't get cramped on that bike because of rearsets.

[Awesome]

PS. Woodcraft rearsets, not vortex.

My R6 was a GA bike, came with the Vortex shit. I'd go woodcraft if I was buying.

[Femmekat]

Thanks Jay for saying I'm not a "huge bitch" lol... I'm sure I could be given the right incentive

My stock pegs have no rubber....

[Awesome]

Do they pull out?





I'm on fi-yah today.

[bluej511]

Thanks for the forks Peter installing them right now.

[Pittenger5]

On my 636 rearsets made a difference as to where my knees hit the tank. With stock my knees hit in a weird place so that it was tough to keep my weight on it. With aftermarket my knees hit perfectly, so they def helped for a comfort standpoint.

you can't dub yourself to be on fire.


PS, I love PK. If you ever need his help at the track, hang your bike from the rafters with a chain, its like the Bat Signal to him.

[Awesome]

Unless it's nazo's bike and three idiots working on it, then he turns off his headlights, slouches way down in the seat and takes the long way around the pits.

and PS, I can do what I want.


for HOURS!

He usually has 2 choices at that point....

1. Come over and fix it for you

2. wait for you to gaff it up to no return, and then come over and fix it for you (while he rags on ya in a funny way)

[bluej511]

Hey maybe someone knows the answer to my question.

I just put the forks back in and finished it all up and took it for a ride, if i let go of the handlebars at around 60 or you can see the handlebars/front end shake a little bit on a smooth road, did i mess something up installing it or whats up?

[Awesome]

The forks may not be in evenly.

[bluej511]

There both lined up exactly at the top line. I followed the instructions and specs in the manual. I hope the triple trees or nothing else is tweeked on it.

[FireboltEric_MA]

When they are lined up correctly you should be able to slide the axle in "freely" with no binding or pressure...
