    Radial caliper spacers

    My SV1000 currently has 06 GSXR600 forks, stock SV1000 wheel/310mm rotors, R6 calipers, 2mm spacers. I picked up a set of Carrozzeria wheels with 320mm rotors (made by CTSMOTO, from what I'm reading they've been out of business for a while but made good products). To put the calipers in the...

    Google maps route planning - roads currently closed

    I'm planning a route for a trip in a month or so. I'm trying to determine distances to figure out what I should do each day. Google maps won't let me go through various Sierra passes (4, 108, 120 - not that I'd take the latter). Neither will Bing. I tried setting the departure date a while out...

    Per their FB: Sadly I can't make it, but I'd rather more people make it (so they do weekend moto days more often)

    Ducati Monster seat ID

    I bought a Monster seat off CL 5 years ago, used it on a custom subframe on my SV1000, and now that it's time to re-cover it I'd like to figure out what off the shelf cover is most likely to fit. I was told it was off a Monster 620, but don't know the year. Can anyone tell me what...

    WTB aftermarket wheels GSXR, SV1000

    The title says it. I'm looking for light, not bling. I'm ok with some blemishes, but they need to be straight. Streetbike, so 17" only (not 16.5"). Front wheels for: 01-09 GSXR (600, 750, 1000) or SV1000 (these are various types of wheel - 01/00-05 600/750, 01-04 1000, SV1000 are all the...

    Chain options

    My SV1000 needs a new chain (and I'll do sprockets while I'm at it). It's a 530, and I don't see much reason to go with 520 unless better quality parts are available. Any recommendations for a low maintenance chain on a litertwin? Corrosion resistance is a big benefit, I'm lazy when it comes...

    Helimot moving out of state

    Per Helmut, they'll be open in their current location until the end of June, and will be moving out of state (destination currently unknown) after that, as it's become too difficult to do business in California. I'm really sad to see the best get forced out of state.

    Seat recovering

    I have a seat that I believe is from an early 00s Monster (bought it used on CL for a custom application, and don't know the exact year/model) that needs a cover. Any recommendations for who to have replace the cover?

    03 WR450 supermoto, found steel chunks in the oil. Teardown time?

    This is my 03 WR450 supermoto streetbike. It has an hour meter, 193h on it, but I have no clue when it was put on. The finish on the cylinder doesn't match other parts, so it's clearly been apart before. I've put around 80h on it. I changed the oil and found some debris: I'm thinking I...

    Penske triple rebuild

    A year+ ago I picked up a Penske triple for a 2nd gen SV650, planning on putting it on my SV1000. Then, my lawyer told me not to do anything to the bike... now I can finally do things again and I'm thinking I should have it gone through. I know the length and spring rates are similar, I'm not...
