          • Rode mine today. Tomorrow, I am doing a ton of work to it. Jet kit, gsxr cams, 750 headers, ignition advancer. I think that's it. All I can afford this month. I'll give updates.

            • well, i can't ride mine yet. if some of you remember, i laid mine down after the first week and fractured my left thumb, right ankle, and right elbow. finally, got my cast off my thumb and am in splint now so i've been tinkering with it. replaced the mirrors with carbon fiber one mirrors. did a DIY fender eliminator, replaced the stock rear turn signals with short stalk carbon fiber ones, and replaced the front turn signal covers as well. just finished with it about 20 minutes ago. looking better and can't wait to ride!

              • Installed new tires, did the front brakes and found out my steering stem bearings need to be replaced. I thought it felt funny and attridbuted it to the old tires, oh well....

                    • Got my new shock installed! Such a sweet riding bike now!!

                      • Nice looking shock GSXfs600, How much adjustment you have on that? I mean turns or clicks on both circuits?

                          The eye to eye range is 11.80"~12.20" 18 clicks of compression and 36 of rebound. single speed.

                          More than I need! But before I bought it, I asked Penske what it would cost to turn it into a VFR800 shock, and was told about $250.

                          I've always wanted a vfr and I figure I can find a 99 for around $2000. in a year or two.

                          • Went for a one hour ride and continued to build confidence and retrieve some of my former riding skills. It's been 12 years since I stopped riding, and I can tell that I'll never again be the rider I once was.
