Saw this and immediately recognized the photo-op:

Chicken xing! That's awesome.

 

. . . oh. I thought it was "chicken pooping"

 

Destined to becoem a cult classic !

Hey is that a new jacket you are wearing ?

When are we riding again?

Wanta do the track day at Cresson Feb 13?
(I could use some training on my cornering)

 

looks like a joe rocket ballistic jacket, I have it in black, great jacket.

 

Same jacket, better angle. And yeah, I'm always up for a track day!

 

Just since that picture, I have changed out my bar ends, my front fairings for non-scratched/non-bondo ones, steel front brake lines, regular VTR mirrors, new clipons and new pre-load adjusters. Next phase is switching out the tank, cuz mine has a dent. I got it from a second VTR I bought, which I will probably be parting out, so if anyone needs random pieces, now is the time to tell me, before they all go on Ebay. Send emails to Lanust@aol.com so it doesn't clutter up the forums.

 

Dayum Son, You've been busy !

Glad U R getting it fixed up

 

Nice....

 

Where did you get the preload adjusters and what size? Thanks

 

I believe they are LP adjusters. They are red with two prongs (look like wingnuts). They came off the other VTR.

 

Well, I for one, have always thought of that term as a slur on the reputation of a great bike and wince everytime I hear it.

I don't see any bondo on the fairings. Dropped it later?

 

Well, like I said, good angle. The bondo is right under the Superhawk996 logo on my right fairing. I didn't drop it, but the squid I bought it from did. There is even black bondo on the right crankcase cover (like I'm not gonna notice that). I hate bondo fixes, and they are so second-rate I say why even bother?

 

If you can't duck it @#$% it!!
