Most bang for my buck next mod.
As you know my papers aren't good but I have been unreluctantly forced to ride dirty as I wait for a wrench to arri e for my Audi. Bike course is next month. The bike will get the cf tank along with the tI zero exaust and cbr1000rr rear rim. If it sits longer ports. Which kills some problems the big one being quick carb access.
But here's my complaints. She's heavy. Carbs drop tune all the time. Clutch isn't grabbing like I want it to. Clutch leaks slow but its still there. My big complaint is the lack of fuel indicator as I pushed it past the police station to go home. What a pucker moment. But that will be fixed with the tank. Also I'm not into how easy the bats move.
I can't decide. A damper. A new front wheel and discs or a whole RR front end. Or a new clutch pack and slave. As I refuse to replace the slave and not do the levers and masters. What would you do? Tanks on hold till I'm an April fool and my papers officially expire and the cars back up.
BTW I don't need advice on riding dirty. I will be deported on the spot. I need to work.

nothing makes you pucker more
Tell you what running out of gas and flinstoneing it past the police station will shorten your life. If not for the fear of deportation its the 400 lb dead aluminum weight with a newly found unlubercated something screaming for oil. Tomorrow I'm rising early and giving the chain a full service. I need a sprocket soon as the missing tooth is driving me bananas at low speed. I am holding out for my rim mod but nothing like pushing it to tell you she needs service.

Yeah I think that a front end is going to soon be in the picture. I still have to use up the resin I have and do the bottom of the tank which requires the tank off. Then I need to make brackets. I just spotted an aluminum and steel rear 46 teeth I gotta go count mine I forgot what it is and I don't want to change it. I need to remember who put the 1000rr rim on and ask for pictures of his work as I only remember he modded the slots on his swing arm.
