I have a set, but the left on clutch side is bent. Wanna make me a complete spare set to have, let me know if you have one.

Until today I've never changed a tire myself. So, having one spare rear rim, I decided to install the rear tire (from one of the set of slicks I've got lined up for track this summer). The main goal was to determine if the taller profile slick would have enough space to spin on the bike (I've...

I've been tortured and miserable in my quest for upgrading my brake system (stripped mounting bolts, unexpected caliper seal prices after the fact, etc..). The latest surprise are my Spiegler lines. It all started a few months ago when I ordered a set of Spiegler front lines, only to discover...

Planning to put my new expensive pads soon, and I know I should deglaze the rotors. How should I do it? Sand paper? Scotch brite pads (what kind)? Circular motion / outside to the inside / inside to the outside..? Thanks in advance. I really want to do this right.

Anyone can help with torque values for: 1) Caliper side: Spiegler single aluminium banjo bolts, what torque? 2) Master cylinder side: Brembo double banjo (seems heavier than an aluminium double banjo, but don't know what it's made of), what torque? Also, do you put two washers between the...

I swear I couldn't find a similar thread, interested to know what is considered fast at different tracks around here. Here's mine, but since I've been only to TMP (and just a few times only), my times are modest: personal best 1:24, consistently 1:26. A lot more understanding and things to...

Sold SOLD ================ Bought for my previous bike, installed only to find out they hit the windshield (Yamaha FZ6), so never used. Check online if it fits your bike, as far as I know it works great with most, keep your fingers protected from the Canadian wind ;) Asking $50 OBO Powermadd...

I decided to safety wire my bike, so I've been researching it. So far, I've found two good guides here and here that appear to give most of the info I need. However, the two places recommend different sized bits, one is 1/16", the other 3/32". Since I plan to stock up with a few cobalt bits...

Due to my recent nightmare which led to the destruction of one of the calipers and a lot of lost time due to me putting loctite on the bolts, I wish if we could compile a quick lookup list of general things to put blue/red loctite or nothing at all. I know it's all written in the service...

I don't remember what I did when I last removed the calipers and the wheel a few months ago, but I must have put blue loctite on the caliper bolts, because I cannot remove one of them no matter what I try. I just spent 2 hours trying to remove this bolt, it is (was!) a hex screw head, which I...

SOLD SOLD SOLD..2003 Suzuki GSXR 1000 stock fairings + headlight unit SOLD =================== I've converted my 2003 Suzuki GSXR 1000 into a track bike with race fairings. So I want to sell the stock fairings and the headlight unit. Everything is good condition, a few tiny places of paint...

Hello, just remembered I've got a court date coming up in a couple of days for taking a forbidden left turn. I had totally forgotten about it and the calendar just spat out the reminder, so my question is what happens if I don't go? On the court appointment notice (which I got about a year...

I'm not gonna be racing soon, not at least until 2014 season, need lots of skill to build yet. However, wondering if endurance races are a good start for a person looking to step into racing? Where can I find some more information, also are there different classes as well, e.g., can I enter...

Ever since the weekend server move, I haven't received even one email notification. Not for subscribed threads, not even for when somebody sends me a PM. Is it just me?

I'm looking into getting a set of spare wheels to use with rain tires. I was wondering if it's better to swap the rotors too when switching the wheels, this way using the same rotors on the same pads, no matter which wheels you use? Logic tells that brake pads would have a better life and...

Wanted: Front wheel from 01-08 GSXR 1000 ... found what I need, please delete

I just got a fly in my head that starting the season with just new Ferodo XRAC pads and new lines is not enough, and I should get a good MC to make use of that. So, I've been looking at the Brembos and the Accosatos that Bluestreakracing can get for me. All I know is that I should probably get...

Tonight I decided to finally try the new squidskins bodywork for my bike. I spent the evening in the garage drinking very very old whiskey and listening to foreign radio under the pleasant heat coming from a small heater fan. I removed the OEM fairings, the nose (with the headlight and...

I'll be doing a few mods over the winter, and since it's a track bike (no insurance), I was wondering how everybody "tests" their work at home. I'm obviously not talking about things like fine adjustments to suspension etc, these can be done at the track where you can feel it and do the...
