Okay okay, the award for biggest loser can be presented now, after four weeks of the bike sitting in the garage in pieces as I desperatly tried to solve the mystery problem, all the while swearing I had the petcock hooked up right, it turns out the vaccum hose was on the wrong connector. The sad ...

Okay lets see, rebuilt the entire front end (both forks, triple tree and clamps, rim, tire, brakes...), got rid of what plastic pieces were left and replaced them all with a streetfighter front end, dents pulled out of tank and had whole thing repainted, fender eliminator in the rear with integrated ...

As far as the fiddling, I fixed the leaky seal underneath the tank (the guys I had paint the tank had been nice enough to get the seal dirty so it wouldnt lay flat) and the bike is definatly running smoother and sounds less "poppy" in the exhaust, although it wasnt a perfect fix.

Okay okay, I know there are a million fork questions already out there but they were a little vague on answering my question so someone please give me a hand here. I just rebuilt both forks, good as new... except they are so incredibly soft now, even in comparison to before the crash. They look like ...

First off hello everyone, Ive been reading this forum for over a year now but have never posted so I thought Id join in. After a little spill at around 65mph I decided it would be easier (and cheaper) to go the streetfighter route than to replace all the fairings so I tossed on one of the Acerbis ...
