Getting ready for next season??

[R7]

Anyone started to get there bikes and gear ready for next year yet? Just trying to make the time go by, it's only 5 short months away until the April 23-24th first race weekend

As for me, after being on order for 3 months, finally got my MotoMaster braking kit. I put it on already along with a stainless line. Now i'm looking for a front master off a Honda 450R quad, that seems to be the hot set-up from what the tard guys say. Yes, i'll grind off the Honda so i don't end up with bad luck

[joberly]

Yep! Bike has been laid up since October... planning on some things for next years track dayS! Already signed up for all 4 of them, and planning on the Penguin race school as well. Gotta get some race fairings, safety wire her up, brake kit, clean the carbs, all that good stuff!

Why not put a Brembo master on it??

[R7]

Because the one off the TRX450R works better It's a radial master and is the same size as the supermoto brembo and is half the cost new, probably 1/4 the cost on ebay

[Awesome]

My truck died so I have to wait till next weekend to pick up the race bike. I have some parts on order, as soon as it's in the garage I'm gonna send the cash for penguin. Then I'm gonna start stocking up on spares and building up the bike. Also gonna play a whole lot of PS2 motogp, and read twist of the wrist one and two a bahgillion more times. Can you tell I'm excited?

Nothing is as good as Brembo ask Fegan.

not everyone has as much money as you.......

but then most other people as allowed to leave the house too.. and money gets spent when you leave the house...

Mark has a money tree in the back yard so he can afford it.
I get to leave the house.... To go get food, cleaning supplies, dry cleaning, and so on....

Looks like I better start practicing. I havent' even picked up a PS2 yet cause I know if I had that and the motogp's I'd never get my work done. When I do maybe you should come down to my place, we'll set up a match on the 60" TV and crank up the surround sound. It'll be so intense we'll need to wear leathers and helmets.

After I get this cast off in mid Dec. I'll host several more Shop days for those that want a clean, warm, dry place to prep bikes for next year. We can also do some group buys, and you also get your NESR Discount as well. Stay tuned....

If i did everything Fegan recomends, i'd have a $50K R7 sitting around doing nothing

The tard guys at thumpertalk say the 450R master gives the best brake feel of anything out there I'm gonna go with what these guys say seeings they are riding the bikes and not reading about them somewhere

But the guys at thumpertalk are also going fast on them.

They also have the whole parts microfiche for download @ their site (2.5 megs if you want it), there is even part ##'s in there for the OEM Honda stickers


I bought a CRF450 M/C for my YZ450 last year off ebay, used for about 45$ and wish I knew the above beforehand

[R7]

Thanks for the info strange one. Not going to bother with ebay now So that's about 1/4 the cost of the brembo thing and it's new, not bad

Vinnie, i'm planning on going fast some day so i want to have the rite hardware when i do

[LM954RR]

Vinnie

But in the end....It always seems to work out alright.

No prob.

JUST to be on the safe side, give em a call when you order and make sure that's what you be looking for - or check out their parts list er somethin. I know the ##'s match parts and thats all good - just not sure how much/what of you are after

I have the motor out, cylinder and head off, rebuild kit sitting on the bench. I still have a cast on my right hand, so I'm waiting for that to come off before I dig into the more involved work.

Upgrades will include:

Electric shifter
billet head with replaceable combustion chamber inserts.
I will properly esablish the squish volume and compression ratio.

[Awesome]

It has begun......

[R7]

Did i miss the part on what bike you're racing next year?

About the only thing i did to mine was put the dirty wheels back on, and there's a bag of ice screws waiting to be screwed into the nobbies

[Awesome]

I picked up a salvage '03 600RR. Just cosmetic damage on it. I've never been more excited in my life.

Mark you have any extra tires I can put screws in? My bike has new tires and I don't want to ruin them..

I believe it's a 21 and an 18

I put screws in my quad tires last winter and it didn't ruin them. As long as you don't go deeper than the nobby is, you should be fine. I don't have any extra dirt tires, in fact the ones i'm studding up on the YZ are still like new

[GMAN226]

Cool. Where did you get the screws?? I have to go pick up the bike sometime this week I hope.
