Re: Rossi in F1 car

I'd seen the part where Rossi and Hamilton were on the bikes and Hamilton looked quite composed and comfortable on the bike. :clap: What I watched was only a highlight of the actual documentary and as I'm a fan of both I'd like to see the entire thing. :cry: Anybody have a link other than SkyF1 so s...

After all the sleeve is there for looks and some protection of the stainless line and considering the heat/ cold cycles they go through the sleeve could slip a bit at the end over time. Maybe take a bright flash light to see if you can s...

Re: lithium battery

I thought about installing a battery disconnect on the bike with a key like I've done on my project/ track car and drag car years ago. It would help with theft prevention among other things and since I drive a truck for up to 6 weeks at a time I just simply turn the key and no connection. This is ex...

Yup that's what I'm putting on my bike and also using the F4i master cylinder as well. They'll all be rebuilt internally and be in mint condition when done. :thumbup: :biggrin

Re: Best cans

I have GRmoto cans, look amazing, sound even better and have a removable muffler for those super loud days! Can get them brand new on eBay for a very decent price. Easy to fit as well. Well worth a look! (Also almost 10kg lighter then the originals!) Here’s the before and after sounds (a small spea...

Hello, I posted something about RAM air exactly 364 days ago it just so happened to be my last post until now. I've done a lot of research on RAM air and studying fluid dynamics quite a bit in general like venturi effect and aerodynamic drag for subsonic vehicles, very interesting stuff, anyway an ...

That's half of where the performance gain is.
True but when you've spent $3500 in parts already it makes it difficult to spend another $500 to $800 for a set of cans. :cry: :Wall:
All in time I guess. :Whistle:
