uh, " loud pipes save lives"?

the email i got back from staintune basicaly said, " this is not available in the u.s." i really wanted the headers too.

i wanted a full staintune kit. i don't think they can exactly sell it here due to emissions issues.

that's one thing about the efi, when it's shut off....it's OFF!! very touchy, you'll learn around it, i did.

don't do it!!! buy the honda shadow, they give you a rebate for crap...or some such crap. i hate my sport!!

i still have the acursed rear break groan!!

tiny and starting right where your cross-over should, if i'm not mistaken.

can we get staintuen headers in the states or not?!?

HAMMER TIME!!!

yup, always good to start at the begining. is it still persisting?

actually check the oil?

could be ghezzi & brian.

okay tx, where do i send the tire?

oh ho ho...the guff i'd get for a karma bell... *goes off to order one*

well, we'll see how a new metzler is about atracting debris. and if i ruin that one....it's back to the bridgestones!!!

someone stealing your tire swing tires tex?

yeah, new metzie sport tires, cought a nail in the rear, do i dare plug it, or should i just suck it up and get a new rear?

this is now the creepiest thread on the forum.

yah, 1100-1200. it keep running then.

5 minutes in you'll know where it feels like your "hurting it". don't go above that, and vary your rpm alot. my bike is almost all out of "hurtieness" oh, and check your idle when you pick it up. they seem to set em up WAY lean out of the box.

thanks for the input guys, tomorrow i start the sus tweaking, and yes, i'll put a new front on the list before any trips. i am kind of a spunky rider, so i've probobly punished the front's belts a bit. how did someone put it...oh yeah, "torque junkie" i believe was the term.

HAMMER TIME!!! *head explodes* where's our smilie for that?

yeah, i've recently noticed a slight wobble if i shut the throttle around 30 or 40 mph. it started after we put the hepco becker rig on my sport. i mentioned it on the other guzzi forum and got: 1. tire pressure. 2. tire cupping 3. bad fork bearings the wobble does not happen at high speeds. i have over 9000 miles on my front tire. it's a bridgestone, how long should i expect it to last? i really REALLY hope it's not the bearings. if there's a little tugging and pushing on the bike on a tire-clamp lift to get the hb on, would that generate enough force to mess something up in the front end? i'm waiting to get it into the shop before i start tinkering with it. i figure i'll just leave all the evidence and let the pros trouble-shoot it out.

i think the furia exhaust was between 8 and 12 hun. but yeah, the euro n all that...whatever.

yeah, that cracking welds bit has me hung up. but i was going to do the chip, intake, and exhaust all at once. so, it'd be dynoed before it was cut lose for sure!!
