Will, thanks for the tune-up and the informative summary upon my pick-up yesterday.  Hope you will get your toy soon and no more remorse once u r on it.

hey Will, thanks for the tire change the other day.
it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

DRKWNG

Remorse?  Will?  Buyer's regret?

WillS

and the remorse isn't really remorse, i am just really cheap, i am actually super excited, i hope it comes in tomorrow

Will,

I'm about to pull the trigger on a full leo vince titanium system and some OZ forged aluminum wheels.  I need new tires so I'll prolly pick those up as well.  Oh and I just hit 3k miles.... time for an oil change while she's in there I guess..... Any chance you can give me a labor estimate on the install??  Worse comes to worse me and Brandon can prolly do the leo system but the wheels/tires I'm not F'in with....

I already have a K&N filter installed and the Microtec ECU, which reminds me..... where's a good Dyno shop for a reasonable price??  I gotta get the thing tuned!

I also think I need my throttle bodies sync'd..... it really has a hard time running cold just after startup. 

Grats on the new bike btw!!!!  white is the only way to go.....

Dude, if you're dropping that dime, screw the OZs and go with BSTs.

Says the guy that has been trying to get me to buy the OZs.   [laugh]
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Only because Gloria won't let you drop that dime.  Think of all the hand bags you could buy her by going with the OZs.   ;D

Well.... I can get the OZ's from motowheels for $1800 for the SET..... BST.... $3500'ish... so nothx!  Tracking the thing on the Oahu 500 speedway does not require the BST wheels..... the OZ's are the best bang for the buck for me right now.

Now I just need to find a dyno shop that is not elbow deep in power commander ass and will tune my Microtec using my laptop and software.... I'm assuming they are similar..... mapping cells shouldn't be that much different.....

And it does require the OZs?  How much weight savings are you actually getting going from the forged Marchesinis on your bike to those?

Will, did you get your Evo yet?  After you get a few miles on it I want to pick your brain on suspension settings. The 1100S I get to ride from time to time is way fun but gets a little nervous when turning at more than 60mph. Guess I could crank up the damping a bit more. Oh, and for sure the thing needs a steering damper even more so than the 848.
