Shoot, I can't imagine Leno doesn't already have a Black Shadow or Rapide already. Or maybe one of each.
Well, you don't have to worry about the Pit Bull stand being flimsy so you wonder if it will hold the bike. Sometimes you get what you pay for and...
I have the Pitbull convertible stand and it's great. Plenty solid and well made. Not the cheapest, but a good value.
I replaced mine at 16,000 miles because I did the valve check and it's easier to turn the motor over with the plugs out, and I was going to change...
AFAIK the countershaft sprocket only comes in steel so no real choice there. Without know how the PO maintained his bike I would start from...
As was mentioned http://sprocketcenter.com/ is a good place to get chain and sprockets. I would go with a steel rear sprocket just for longevity,...
Okay, now that's funny. :eagerness: He certainly got pretty defensive when his night riding was called into question.
I've also used a large screwdriver and hammer. It doesn't take much force, just a tap will move it. It's not something that needs to be done very...
Some people just refuse to take good advice, especially when it may enable them to live a bit longer.
I think Chuck Barris (I was wrong on the name too) was the model for Marvin Boggs in "Red": "Well, he thought he was the subject of a secret...
I feel a bit differently. The VFR might keep him alive a bit longer if he's doing high speed runs in the middle of the night. Not the smartest...
I don't think he's doing 156 mph, more like around 130 would be my guess. If he's within 500 rpm of redline in top gear and it shows 156 on the...
Wow!! What a memory. Right on all counts. Except for the "being pissed" part, although that would certainly explain a lot.
My guess is that it is already geared higher than stock since it will hit 156 indicated and is at redline. Most stock bikes will not hit redline...
I must have missed what year it is.
And high service bills, and mounting frustration. Of course the frustration could be on account of the explanation listed above.
So are you wanting more/better acceleration? Taller gearing won't necessarily give you a higher top speed since the bike doesn't have the...
I'll have to admit up front that I love the brakes on the VFR, best I've ever had, and with the HH pads and steel brake lines, they are fantastic....
Bad news for sure. Hope it's not any worse than it seems. May have to force yourself to take a couple days off at least, just to let things chill...
Yep, put the bike up on the centerstand and weight the back end so the front wheel is off the ground. Move the handlebars from lock to lock and...
