Dunno yet, but I do know Jeff is checking it today before he leaves town [thumbsup]
I'm hoping for a good frame...

Otherwise, it'll be insurance time, & RonR & I will have matching 1198Rs ;D

if the ps sells, and you're not allergic to speed, the r1 is begging to be ridden. Twice the power of the ps, good 190 pilot powers and no jockey.


Offer good through  9/22/08

[roll]  Don't feel too sorry for L'SDL'S !!  He has a perfectly excellent flying brick that was serviced this summer just sitting around naked waiting for someone to put it's fairings on !!  '63 Vespa - as if !!!  [moto]

Quick update...

The 1098 is coming along nicely!
The frame is straight, just needed a new bottom triple from AMS.
Put on new Dragon SC2's yesterday. Also swapped out the throttle.
Received new rearsets & pedals, & Pazzo levers today. Those'll go on in the morning along with the Termi full exhaust [thumbsup]
Also, the race fairing stay should be repaired by tomorrow.
New bars will go on early next week, then back to MS for stiffer front springs & dynotune [thumbsup]

Nothin' fancy, just heavier springs ;)

How 'bout shock spring?

Just going up one step on fork spring? Did they say what the "limit" is on stock springs?
