Dude, are you still selling the tail? Local pickup? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That carbon fiber tail looks hot. I hope your fiberglass tail is still for sale after the weekend. V

I got my tire warmers from an old SV650 site that sells tire warmers for ninja 250s. Here's the site: SV Racing Parts | Page not found Hopefully this helps out since they aren't that expensive and they work great. I personally bring my infrared temp gun with me to monitor my tire and wheel...

any of you guys want a group buy? I just want the wheels- front and rear along with the brake rotors. Let's go internet buy!

Cornerslider, im in the same boat. The r6 shock upgrade and fork spring upgrade seem to be working for me. I'm also 200 pounds and use my rc to commute and track duties. Give Matt at Formula390 a buzz. He is super helpful here on the forum and to individuals just trying to ride better on their...

I went the inexpensive route: grabbed a used r6 shock with all the goodies(spring, threaded collar adjuster, spacers) from Matt at Formula390 and changed the spring and fork oil in the fork. It seems to be much better handling on 35 but sonoma will be the big test next weekend. V Sent from...

Thanks to DCMoney for the tip on making the special tool required to remove the fork cap. I can't believe how much locktite KTM uses for the fork cap. It's absurd. Anyway, I have also taken a pictures of the amount of blue locktite on the fork cap, showed Matt from Formula390 and he agreed...

sounds interesting...

What exactly is your spacer setting Matt? I forgot to ask you since we are about the same weight. V P.S. Yes, removing both fork sides and basically doing an entire rebuild to change sag settings sucks. V

Matt, I share the same sentiment as Hekimpd. If I'm ever in the Austin area, I'm buying you a few beers. V

How about a semi-sleeve to cover/assist in keeping the coil in place while it's being compressed? Just looking at the setup and reading your post I can see how any misalignment while compressing the shock can lead to what happened to you, Matt. If all we're working on are R6 shocks, we can build...

Sounds like a good party.

basically a hydraulic press with a custom hole for the r6 shock. Nice. I will have to do something like this if I lose/gain weight and have to change my spring. V

40 years young, i got the RC for my 40th birthday. Pared the garage down to these: 1960 bmw r50 (my Dad's old bike that he gave me to take care of/ride into my older age and to Alice's restaurant) 2000 aprilia mille (commuter and track duties) 2015 ktm rc390 (commuter and track duties) miss my...

Nice! I will be out there next month with my RC. Hopefully it will be as nice a day as in your pictures. Did you do anything to your suspension for Sonoma? -Vince
