    The plugs in my 1100 are the JR9B, same as it states in the manual. I didn't consider they may be different between engine sizes.

      Big garage. Actually, I beleive that qualifies as a motor pool. Or FOB...or something. Do you have Hescos outside?

      Best of luck with the refurb on the Kat! +1 on new tires. Might want to take a look at Continental Road Attack. Fair price, and good performance, with milage in the 5k to 7k range, depending on how you ride.

          Yea sprocket and chain are on there, tires are actually number one. My dad took the bike to get painted, didnt ask me, was a surprise. For xmas actually all my siblings and gf got like 20 presents each, Im just sitting there, my dad tosses me a bag wrapped in bubble wrap and packaging paper, I open it up, it was the front fender. Kinda funny.

          Yea my dad is checking if any of his tire guys can get bike tires, before I have to buy them from somewhere else. My dad is the president of a racing tire company, so youd figure he might know someone, but no luck.

                      Also any1 know a good place to get a clutch lever? Silver/chrome, not black. Aswell, do you normally buy your tires online, or in person at a store?

                        I just picked up chrome levers on ebay pretty cheap...$13 I think. I have yet to buy tires for mine, but there is a little garage just around the corner that replaced my plugs, new plug wires, some other stuff and they're pretty cheap. They will be putting new tires on when I need them.

                          It's coming along nicely...I'm partial to black anyway. I buy my tires at online at motorcyclesuperstore and highly recommend them. Free shipping on orders over $100 I believe.

                              seems like it would just be some high temp paint of sorts....

                                You will need high temp paint for the headers and can(not 100% for the can but it gets hot). You can pick it up at any hardware store I think. If I remember correctly it has to be +750f and donīt buy bbq paint cause it wonīt hold
