Nice machine Moon!
If you decide to back off the preload on that rear spring to increase sag and lower ride height I would suggest sliding your fork tubes up in the triple clamps also, if possible. Changing the rear only is going to increase the rake on that front end which will have an adverse effect on low speed handling. The bike will tend to plow or wash out in tight corners.
If those forks are pressurized you can drop a few pounds out of each side to drop the nose but the machine may become too soft and mushy.
Helmet, goggles, good gloves and boots are a must. Put them on EVERY time you decide to ride. No ifs or buts.
That thing looks like a rocket! Throw some dirt for me!

Yeah, I've not decided on anything yet. I'm going to leave it alone for now. IN fact, I can't adjust the tripple clamp. The shocks are already up to the handle bars as it is. That said, I do know they are pressurized for a 175lb rider and I'm only 140. And yes, I have full on gear head to toe. Friggen spent $700 just on riding gear... Damn, I never imagined it would cost that much.

just like in the cartoons (specifically Wile E. Coyotee) the bike literally took off like a rocket, out from underneith me leaving me hanging in midair still in the "seated" position. Since I was in the 'seated' position, my feet/legs where sort of forward, arms forward and I landed SQUARE on my tailbone.
OH my gawd, I can so visualize that. Too damn funny.
Going riding today, raining like crazy, going to be a slippery sloppy gewey mess out there. I'm sure I'm going to hurt something.

4-stroke gets way better gas mileage, much quieter and has gobs of low end torque. At the end of the day of hard riding you will probably appreciate your stereo more because you will be exhausted....
I never could stay on two wheels, it kept throwing me off like a bucking bronco so I switched over to the 4-wheelers and it was like riding a baby carriage....lol.
I'm starting to look into getting a 4 wheeler for the family to share. Wife wants to be part of this and my son definitly wants a quad.
-
No man no... 4 stroke. But, believe me, it has more than enough power, power I'll never use. In fact, the guy at the honda dealer told me that this is the last year that honda is making a 2 stroke.

DAYAM.... I'm speechless would you look at that bike? Holly crap all mighty...
I dunno... I'm going to debate that that bike aint real... I'm thinking a photoshop job... But, what do I know.

Don't make the change in haste Moon as you might miss the ground clearance once you drop it
That is a good point. I know of two ways to get a little bit of help. I've heard of people shaving the seat as well as loosning the tension on the rear spring.
-
Congrats Moon, nothing like a nice bike when on the road to recovery of a wounded She's a beauty, have fun on her and don't get yourself hurt[
]Thanks... I need to get it lowered. when sitting on the seat, I can't even touch on my tippie toes. Sucks being a short guy. [

Yeah thanks... Life has been a trip over the last 5 months.

Oh yeah... m00n has a new toy. It's a Honda CRF-250. Something to get him out of the house and doing guy things. And last I heard, chicks love bikes. [

it'll keep your mind busy...
I'm thinking of using the oak rift cut veneer that is here at woodcraft.
-
Hey guys! I know it's been a loooong time since i've been here, but I wanted to start seriously looking into veneering my cornwalls. However, I'm having a bit of an issue on the the veneer would look best.
What did you guys do on the edges at the corners? Did you 45 degree them?
Ok nevermind... I seen EXACTLY what I wanted to see right here in this thread

It's cool. Not for me, but it's cool.

LOL. Love the tequila, my poison for sure

Thanks but that's ok, I appreciate it though.. I just remember about 18 years ago being in philly. Walked into a club where a typical 80 rock cover band was playing and they kicked out a rock and role cruncy version of Linus and Lucy. It was incredible. Would just love to hear another heavy metal version some day.I have an original Charlie Brown Christmas on cassette tape. I can record a copy onto a cassette blank if you like. lugnutdoug@hotmail.com
Oh and Oldtimer? Those links are not working. [

Hey all, I was wonder if anyone had a link where I can hear, download or what every a rocken version of the old classic Peanuts theme song...[

Uh huh, that is a fine point to be sure, but you do remember, dogs will eat their on poo. [A dog has a sense of smell 100K more sensitive than a human. If it's unbearable to you, it's hard to imagine what it smells like to the dog. Nasty stuff indeed.

Tickle Me Elmo
There is a factory in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo
toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.
Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for
her first day promptly at 8:00 AM. The next day at 8:45 AM
there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman
throws open the door and begins to
rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow
and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire
production line behind schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2
men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the
line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory
floor and they're really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stands
Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of
plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.
The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps
it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the
little package between Elmo's legs. The Personnel Manager bursts into
laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together
and approaches Lena .
I'm sorry," he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, "but I
think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday..."
Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles.
-
Laugh all you want, but I almost can guarantee you that my mother would buy one of those.

And, another thing Moon, you don't come here often enough anymore, we miss you.
I know... I used to be one of the forums biggest blabber mouths, now I'm just a distant memory.[:'(]
GOOD LUCK TO YOU CAL!
-
Thanks so much everyone. This is really a family here and I do feel you all pulling for me. In just about 12 hours from this post, I will be on my way to the OR! I need to check in by 5:15AM for my 7:30 surgery time. Thanks all, when I come out the other side and can contact the board, I will!
Hey man good luck, i'm sure you will be fine though I must have missed why you are having surgery in the first place. I guess I just don't come her often enough anymore.

No no, you have fun taking it back off in the future. [Hi Moon, I put up some wallpaper a few months ago.
Have fun...........

And I did.... My left paw got munched somehow between the ground and my chest. But at least it was at the end of the ride. We were basically done for day. Many good Funny Home Video entires if we'd had a video camera. It just rained and rained and rained and rained. Now get this, we get in the car to head home and it stop raining... I kid you not. Go figure.
