mr.alcheng-

:excited::excited::excited:

i have an intake on order for my G. and we all know which vendor is slow.

i need to lean it out a tad to improve mpg. i logged 15months since i started using my G as dd... im only getting 11-12mpg right now. :rofl2: the G is known to run rich in stock form so the intake helps considerably. and with the thinner spacers (in-transit) on the front, i can tuck the front tires just a hair more to lessen wind drag. these two changes will net me close to 5mpg (from actual experience in the past, i was getting 17mpg on surface roads). :)

CFRA. Checkered Flag Racing Assoc. After this event, one more Sears Point and one Thunder hill.

Kewl Mt have a great time. I think they are a west coast group. :driving:
Nice pics Z.
Allot of talk about piano's and guns yesterday. I'm trying to avoid the gun issue due to not needing another hobby that costs money.:tup:
Not musically inclined so the piano/instruments are not an issue. :ugh2:

Kensan you can ride that to work. It will kill 2 birds, execise and not getting your rides F*up.

Fire 08-01-2012 09:55 AM

Oh wait 3 things don't have to worry about the lawn care people at work you can store the bike in your office.

Alchemy 08-01-2012 09:55 AM

Ken, endlink was my first though. I looked at them originally but it looked ok. Def makes noise at slow speeds and uneven pavement. Not much at all at high speeds. Even popped once from me merely sitting down into the drivers seat. I do have aftermarket sways. Figured endlinks goin was bound to happen. How do i determine if the link is wearing out???

The exhaust is on... almost ready to go... only couple issues... the package did come with bolts n nuts... Also, my friend suspect there should be a metal that holds the two muffler together but it seems not in the package.... :confused:

Just PM the vendor and waiting now...

yah, unlink one side and drive around to see if it makes the noise. you can't tell if worn just by looking at it. :) if noise stops, then it's 100% your endlink.

mr.alcheng- yah, with stop and go the mpg is very bad on the G. the intake and lessening drag will help. :)

sorry to hear about the missing piece. :( hope your friend has another part he can use to substitute. or just have the guy weld on a new piece. :p

And I don't necessarily care about their political stances. They've always been a religious organization. It's not like they deny anyone their tasty and fattening chicken food based on their stated morals and purposes.
