Hi, I am puttnig in a set of SS lines on my gsxr front end on my sv. The lines are much stiffer than the original hose. I am concerned that if I use the clip on the side of the fender the curves might be tight when the front end gets loaded. Do people leave these floating from the banjo bolt...

Hi, I need to remove the bearings on the front wheel of a GSXR-600/750. Manual says to use special tool xxx. I have a 3-jaw bearing puller but it does not get a purchase because the spacer between the bearings is too flush. Suggestions? I'm considering putting an internal snapring in there to...

Hi, I'm looking to flesh out a concept for a new project and was looking for some input. The project is for a two-up machine with a flat seat and comfort for the pillion. Said pillion was happy aboard a CB400F, not so much aboard an SV650 (too high, seat to footpeg distance too short). I was...

Hi, I have no idea for a route, but just want to get out there. 6:30 start from Saratoga 76 sound OK? One I was in a few week ago was fun. Who's in? Cheers Lou

Hi, My current seat on the 2001 sv650s is somewhat shagged (as the Brits say), and I've been having trouble finding a replacement. Are the later year models applicable? I have looked at the fiche at Ron Ayers and it says its discontinued in favor of another but that one also only crosses to...

Hi, Firstly: searched but found nada. I have a 75 CB400F that I've restored. Originally bought by my uncle in 81 (or thereabouts), and shipped to me in Argentina, from where I rode here in 82. Re-registered at that time. Stored after a while in favor of newer bikes. Decided to restore. Got...
