No, I wish... That's 50lbs off the bike... I'd like to do another 75 off me...

I've dropped about 30-40 lbs off of my bike, thanks to liberal use of magnesium and titanium. You'll be amazed at the difference it will make. Even more so if you'd buy some damn magnesium wheels.

It's about damn time I learned throttle control...

I am down for some light wheels, but there is no way in hell I'm even close to ready to drop the cheddar... Still looking for that sweet deal where some guy crashed his race bike, then his wife took it in the divorce, and she doesn't know what Marchesini or Ohlins means...

It does, but you can also hack a peice of $0.10 PVC pipe and make your own insert... which is what I plan on doing...

Yeah, I have some reservations about using a zip tie... either way, it's cheap and effective...

dReWpY · 01-18-2011, 01:13 PM

i did the zip tye to the zx6, worked fine, for the rc i sucked it up and ordered a HRC throttle tube

Moar parts ordered today...

unmolested airbox w/ K&N filter off eBay for under $50!

SV1000 coils (not needed, just hotter)

Also upgrading the crap stocker R/R... so I bought a MOSFET R/R...

Nigga. I got an airbox with k&n for around$ 15 off of ebay. Sit back down. I wish i could get a deal on a better filter for my er6n. Im not paying $75 for one.

I like the coil idea. Those are pretty much standard two wire connections and screw on spark plug wire arent they? I wonder if RC51's run hotter than my vfr's. Of course electrical isnt hondas bread & butter so i eont want my bike turning into the human torch.

Whatever jerk, I thought it was a hell of a deal considering the TLR guys sell the filter alone for about what I paid for everything...

I'm sure there's something on the VFR forums about the coil mod if it does anything for you...

I got lucky on it. The title just said air box with filter. Love it when people dont know what theyre selling. Now i have a backup. Its the same way i got my throttlemeister for $15. Just said bar ends.

I really need to replace my O2 sensors. Theyre filthy. Also need to get on the ball with the 6th gen throttlebody swap.

Yeah, I just placed a bid on another one... same deal, but $9.99... I figure I can sell one on the forums when someone needs it and make a couple of bucks...

Why go with mag wheels? Might as well go whole hog with carbon fiber rims.
