I picked up a '93 over the winter and spent some good times cleaning it up, refurbing the suspension (got lucky because it came with a Fox shock...
Deleted as being stupid. Re-edit: Gen 3 is way worse then Gen 5 re fairings. That's for starters. Next: There's way worse stuff than removing...
Further to my questions above, I found a website with detailed seat-shaping info, consistent with what was done here. As a bonus, there are...
Sruss67: Now that you've had some seat time I wonder whether there are any changes to the seat shaping you might have done in retrospect? I am...
I have been off riding for a year and have a record of some tickets with State Farm who covers all my stuff. Cars and house. Now I ask about my...
Cool. I'm in with my next change (hope to get better miles with Angels!). I'm never happy with the way those lead weights stick, and they look nass.

Yes, the side ones must be the ones I am referring to, I just don't have bike near me when sitting here. I can "sort of" see them in your pics...
Ambitious job! And thanks for the pics. I am finishing up similar (though less extensive) refurbing on my recently-acquired Gen 3, but I am less...

I just bought a 93 with 110,000 kms - about 65,000 miles. I have no concerns.
Until last year I owned a restaurant named Sunsets. Now it's gone, but since I turned 60 last year I figure it still fits.
Good luck! If I were prepared to go to $4500 I would be looking at a 98.
You just reminded me about doing the coolant as well . . . .
I just put my Fox tc in last night as well. I used my floor jack - the hydraulic kind with the pump handle and steel wheels - to jockey the...
Yes - I found it, thanks. It wasn't in the sections I had printed off and brought home.
It's good value with those suspension mods. If the PO was a different weight, it doesn't cost much (relative to the improvement in the bike) to...
Oops - forgot to make note of the cable routing when I ripped the forks out . . . and now I'm scratching my head. I know darn well that when I...
Good to hear you are enjoying the upgrade - it makes spending those bucks so much more worthwhile! I felt the same way when I got the Ohlins and...
