Bush all the way. I do not want a president who thinks it is OK to kill unborn children. I have several friends who can not have children and have been waiting for years and have had several adoptions fall through, and it makes me SICK that there are people who are murdering unborn children instead of the adoption route. IF YOU CAN NOT HANDLE THE RESPONSIBILITY DO NOT HAVE SEX!!!!!!!
I will spray mine down with simple green and wait about 3 minutes then hose it off with water. Next, hit it with car wash concentrate and the mitt. Then I dry it off and start polishing the billet and wd40 on the cases and tire dressing on the tires and you are done. I also use furniture polish on the plastics.
instead of running rigid struts try to find some old shocks off a suzuki 230 quadrunner. They will keep your bike from slamming down on take off and will keep your bike riding low like struts do. I have tried it both ways and the 230 shocks are the way to go.
meat and wassup350 are right. The MSR is the way to go, and it wont hurt your back pocket. I bought the shorty and put it on the easiest pull setting and can pull no problem with 2 fingers. Plus it cleans up your bars by getting that parking brake crap off.
I have the works triple rates with rezzies and love them. I did spend the extra money and got the threaded adjustable preload so I could have some adjustability if I needed it.
They are a huge improvement over the stock junk shocks.
I twisted the frame on my 99 and replaced it with an 03 black frame, guess my shee is now a "limited edition". Something I thought was interesting, the black frame was $200 cleaper than the silver (from the stealership). Figure that one out.
look on ebay for a hide a key plate. it relocates the key under the seat mounting with the 2 back gas tank bolts. it is an easy fix to clean up the bars.
I have a "dead lock" axle nut I bought off ebay and it still works its way loose. It is made of billet aluminum with 2 allen bolts to tighten it down when it is in place. I have tightened it up and put red loc tight on it and it works itself loose after a hard day of riding. I am afraid if I really torque down on it while tightening it that it will strip the threads since it is aluminum. You guys have any ideas on how to keep it tight. I am running a stock axle. Thanks for the help.
