    "Mass Centralization" was good engineering, or better as marketing hooks?

    Ok lets see if I remember this story right. ( getting old sucks) When Eric was trying to figure out the motor placement, he took the maximum lean angels of the tires at the time. He then made a V out of plywood at those angels and then placed the motor in the V and designed the frame around it.

    ZTL2 brake upgrade on STT

    lowkey, sorry can,t type.If you can get a complete unit, saves a lot of time. I would still go with the the nissin 19mm, switched to Lindal gold pads for better feel and went back to long CRG levers. For me this worked well because of problems with my right wrist and hand. A few others no here...

    How do you like your exhaust?Pros and Cons

    i loved my Drummer SS, sounded great,loud but not harsh,neighbours didn't mind it. With a EBR ecm and a KN, it would pull 5th from way down low ( - 2000 rpm ) to redline with no hicups.

    Dual Sport Style Helmet? Pros/Cons?

    Bought a Arai XD-3 when they can out, it's still the one I garb first for riding around town or just out in the country.On long freeway rides or strong cross winds it can be a little hard on the neck and usually wear something else.The XD-4 seems to have cured this,guess I will have to try one...

    Dumb newbie question

    It's not a dump question, if you don't know the answer.The spec's I have here are for a 08 Lightning and I think they are the same for a 05 "R". Total fuel tank (including reserve) 3.82 U.S. gal. Reserve 0.75 gal. You have two trip meter's, reset one when you fill up, see how far you have gone...

    Hawk vs. Drummer exhaust

    I had a Drummer SS on my 08 XB12S with a open airbox and a EBR ecm. No dyno numbers, but would pull 5th gear from 1500 rpm with no trouble ( was being stared at by two police officers while going through a small town ). Sounded great with no complants from the nieghbours. Everthing I have heard...

    Riding position?

    I am 5'7" about 170 -180,Had Rizoma superbike bars for a while on the Lightning "S" then went with Crossroad 0 degree,s and Firebolt pegs and my 60+ year beat up body had no problems with 4 to 600 km rides.Bicycle shorts can help on longer rides.

    crashed 2007 XB12S T-boned a car -

    Glad to hear you are ok. Maybe your wife should meet mine,her comment when I totaled my Lightning in August was "your crashes are getting worse, you are getting hurt less, I'am ok with that" I guess thats why I keep her around, not sure why she keeps me around though.
