    Is that rear sproket still stock?

    The forks are getting a workout, looking at the pic of the stoppie.

    Cool man,

    Impressive. The last time I tried to do a stoppie on my ZZR1200 the headlight flew off (quickly followed by me).

    What kind of pressure are you traditionally running in the tires?

    Re: do a wheelie!

    OK. I was thinking that one might ride at a lower pressure to put more absorbent bounce and flex in the tire. Wrongoo on my part. Learn something new everyday. Thanks. Now go out on your Friday night and have a good time.

    Kyle at Line-X of boulder charged me 160 for all 7 pieces.

    He wrapped all the pieces but the tank 360 degrees so it'll never peel.

    Super shiny in the sun. Looks like metal flake. And I can scrape my key across it and doesn't leave any sort of a mark. The stuff is bullet proof. Sets up in 4 minutes. Took me longer to put them back on, than it did for him to spray em.

    I suck with a rattle can, and a good paint job is pricey... even for flat black, so this was a good option.

    But derek's gold.... that's crazy looking. Can't wait to see it in person. My rims suck. His look sweet. The old kryptonic skater wheels =P

    Re: do a wheelie!

    Wish I would have known about the adapter sooner.

    I have a FTI adapter and a 54" line sitting in my garage. Went with the Hohey / Brembo setup.

    Or wait... is the Kawi the circle adapter? I can never remember.
