    So Ken, how much ya got, total, in $-U.S. in Sparkle and Tech-Farkle on that bike? No need to gather invoices, just round it off to the nearest 5K.

    THIS I gotta hear. I mean, how much could it BE?

    It's in the multiple thousand dollar figure of course. Just like you think nothing of dropping several K's on a new bike. 50 lobsters anyone? Those were yummy last year at leafs party!

    Oh, shit, yeah, the lobstah party at Chris', beer-pong and stuff. I figured, who remembered? I hope Spence & Co. ate the rest or set em free out on the Cape next day, I never heard..

    Yeah, I dropped a couple of bucks on the C-14. But to be fair, the only Farkle for the C-14 was the trunk, a radiator grid-guard and loud Strebble horns. Oh, and brighter bulbs. Oh, and a leather tank bra. New helmets. Yeah, the shit adds up, don't it? Anything for bikes, I guess.

    What's the old saying? Hundreds of thousands on cars and broads and bikes? The rest, I squandered..

    Re: Just when you think you...

    Nice upgrades Kenn, enjoy them. I swapped my stock bars on the 650R for LSL Superbike bars + ends, made a world of difference. Keep up the good work!


    On a more serious note though, at this point, you're getting dangerously close to having built your own all-new bike from the ground up. Give Erik Buell a call, maybe you guys can tool up something together...

    I would say at least $4K, especially with the powder-coating. I could be wrong, since I don't think he did an aftermarket suspension upgrade, just a stock shock swap from another bike.

    What's the list look like?

    I do have Race tech springs up front now. GSX-R600 rear shock ($50) such a deal!

    Gotta get that 3rd party shock. You'll notice a HUGE difference.

    Best $1000 I have spent on the 1000RR to date.

    I got a Penske on the SV from P. Kates and it was the best money I have ever spent. Still cannot figure out how to fine-tune it, though.

    Yep. 8987 Triple. That was during last year's 20% off special, if you did both the shock and fork internals at the same time. The shock retails at $1200.

    The shock should have come with a guide. It has a troubleshooting section that has different adjustments for different situations.

    I also threw some gold valves in the front. Still think they need some tweaking.

    What is a guide

    Kenn, if you would like to take a quick spin on the SV sometime after finals week to get a feel for the rear shock and the front set-up you would be more than welcome.

    Thank you! And visa versa! You havent seen the Stinger in person for a year. I'd love to see how much if any of a difference with handling and peformance. Cool Jeff! Maybe you can come over, remember where I live?

    I am pretty sure - again, it will have to wait until this week is over.
