help needed on 4th gen mods

gearhead132 · 01-22-2009, 06:51 PM

ok, if any of you gurus could spare so much as a few links to another thread or somebodys site or some places to find ANY of the following items, that would be much apriciated!

k, heres my story. bought a 96 750 last fall. plan on putting lots of miles on it this summer (average 85 a day with work, more on the weekends last year.) started on it now so it will be ready for spring. im a full time auto mechanic on mostly imports specializing in automatic transmissions, so i have the tools and mechanical abilty to do this stuff, i just need advice and direction!

has anyone put frame sliders on a 4th gen? im thinking could be done. anyone?

forks-following some advice i am in the middle of a spring/oil/valve job race tech upgrade.

clutch upgrade-what is most common?

where might i find a corbin seat?

and also, i am realy liking the idea of a high mount carbon fiber exhaust, but has anybody had any trouble with any kindve luggage on such a system? and does two brothers still make a high mount?????
also thinking maybe a micron-any input here?

any links or advice on this would be great-i dont want it apart any longer then it has two be, but i want it gone through and done by spring the way i want it. thanks guys!

Barnett for clutch or EBC.

Got my Corbin on eBay

High mount exhaust will preclude saddlebags. Also hanging saddlebags tends to break the fairing plastic due to stress from the weight.
I had the 2 bro's dual high mount on mine and also tried a Micron High mount. The Micron was too loud but tucked up nicely and looked good. The 2 Bro's sounded great but was heavy. (Good luck finding a set of those!)

yea, i was looking ebc on the clutch. was your exaust like a dual side mount where there stacked on each other? my bigest problem with exhaust so far has been finding any sources that carry stuff for the 750-seems like more available for the 800. many thanks for those pointers! anybody done frame sliders out there?
