Thanks for the pictures Gas Man! I was wondering how the triple tree mount worked.

Despite the Pit Bull fans, I am going to take the cheaper route for once with the T-rex set. I will be sure to share my opinion on them, but I have confidence in the other forum member's opinions for now. :rockout:

Damn G-man, I don't know if I've ever seen pics of the 9r. Looked damn nice. You could had it back for less than you spent on mods this winter.

he went to the big dog cause he was getting a little insane with the crap he pulled on the 9... and the speeds :lol:


though I'm think'n he'd still would have been better off $ wise by stay'n with the 9... even if he got like 10 wreckless driving tickets it'd still be under 50k :lol:

Yeah I have. Both on my bike and my buddies. I have spools too. But I've used it both ways. No slipping whatsoever.

Run a threaded rod from Lowes thru your axle,use your old spools and a couple nuts. Just take it off when you're not using it. In fact get some wingnuts and it'll be easy. Heck,just run the rod out the ends and forget the spools. That way you can use whatever size rod your axle hole will bear for peace of mind.

I used to have the LP stands too. They are just flimsy and not very well made. Although,I think LP uses a better supplier now. BTW I have Suzuki front and rear stands if anyone wants them,I went and bought Vortex stands.

No problem... I still try to stay in touch with the sportbikes.

Just like Tigger said... they were flimsy, they rusted, the knobs that kept them together broke off. aka They sucked!
