Plus, it is always nice knowing that you and a few mates did the work on your own bike...

Plus, we miss your sweet arse.  Or at least Ben does.  ;D

Does anyone want to come down to the shop tomorrow for some suspension adjustment & tuning? I have to check/set the steering head bearings on the Monster so I'll be here. Might have time for a little zoom zoom in the afternoon.
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.

Someone has to work.  When were you going down?

What time are you thinking about?  I might be able to make a showing...

I figure Noon to around 2PM, thereabouts.

Just got home from work.  Working at 1100 tomorrow. Otherwise, I'd be there.  Poo.

You bet.  Funny thing is that right now I have to grab a spare truck and drive into town to pick up one of my best friends who's stranded right by the shop and bring him back to Kailua. Then I'll hop on the Monster and ride back to the shop so I'm guessing shortly after Noon. Plus Wally brought the dead ST2 down yesterday so he might show up sometime but nothing definite on that yet.

Rick/Teddy, what size clutch slave cylinder did you guys put on your bike?  I know that both the 28mm and 30mm will reduce the pressure at the lever, but have heard that the 30 sometimes makes the clutch a bit harder to modulate.  Thoughts?

You got me there. As far as I knew there was only few differences based on whether or not it was a single phase charging system (old guys), a three phase charging system (starting in say '98) and then somewhere along the line (2003?) they changed again. None of the three were interchangable I believe. I could be wrong. Worth a search I suppose.  The slave that I got for the 999 was slightly different from the slave for the Monster. The slave for my Monster doesn't work on Wally's Monster (a '94 model).
