[MiniMose]

Im still interested in the yoke nut mount too, let me know how it works once you get it.

Just ordered the yoke 50 mount. It's coming from the UK as this company is the only one I found that makes it. Standard shipping is $7.99 for 18-26 days and expedited 1-3 days is $15. Guess which one I picked? I ain't waiting a month. Total with shipping is $39.99 You thinking of using that with the standard bars or you thinking of adding clip-ons?

I dont mind the standard bars, so Id be using it there...it would mainly be to get the mounting OFF the bar, and lower. Mounting on the bar just puts it too high up and sort of in the way.

I want a reflective version of this that I could put on the back of my jacket. Would work great right over the back protector in the jacket.

but for my jacket it should say "should be legal"?

Damn Florida!

FedEx expedited shipping is no joke. Order originated in England yesterday and this morning was already departing the FedEx hub in Tennessee. Looks like I may get it by Friday.

*edit
Already out for delivery. Wtf? That was crazy fast coming from the UK.

Just swapped out my Bandit shock for a 06 Hayabusa shock. AMAZING difference. Full rebound, compression, preload settings. Feels like a completely different bike.

I am at 36mm sag now. :thumbup: Still need to do something with the front, but I am at 40mm sag there so its not too bad.

Suspension should be everyones first upgrade. Seriously, it transforms the bike having a proper setup. Crazy how much different it feels. Feels glued to the road. Being how great if feels now, I would love to feel a full on aftermarket upgrade!

Best upgrade I think I've ever done. And all for $35 shipped to my door.

I did my front last night with Racetec. Feel better but still need to tune it up a bit.

Add some shims under the cap to increase preload. Relatively easy... wathever washer that fit there is fine... make sure you stack them the same amount on each side. I'll go 1/16" at the time...

My wife help me to measure last night...

Makes me wonder how hard it would be to swap the shock on the FZ6R to an R6!

Just need to check the overall length of the shock, and the spring weights. Curious about that myself. On the Bandit site, they have a list of all the different shocks that could be compatible, etc.

The Hayabusa shock is a tad longer so it raises the rear of the bike up a little bit. Not much though.

Looks like the 99-01 Rear shock for R6 is around300mm. If you are close to that, it may work. But if the R6 spring is softer, you wont want it. Being it is a lighter bike, who knows... Luckily this was all figured out for me and was an easy swap haha.


Edit: Found this...

Not sure what the 6R is...

 

[latony007]

impressed

im so impressed with myself for not messing up my bike while installing frame sliders and new flush mount blinkers last night. For the completely un-mechanical it was a complete success. Going to try adding mirror signals too soon since im on a roll lol.

Expedited shipping from the UK comes overnight. Especially on a dedicated flight by FedEx.

Lol. When we ship pallets of clinical supplies and boxes of it, they always get to the warehouse the next day. I guess ya didn't pay for expedited shipping when you lived there? LOL
