Re: Cycle whore thread
Went to the dealer to try on a Shoei RF-1100, because charley tells me it'll keep me quiet about wind noise :P
as I was leaving I was trying to budget buying one of these used for shits-n-grins
Not sure why but I've been on a DS craze as of late I really want one to goof off with.

The Vmax already has a schrader valve on the forks. You can put up to 14-15 psi in them, but you run the risk of blowing a fork seal. The stock springs are too soft, it would prolly be better to add extra fork oil and reduce the air pressure.

Re: Cycle whore thread
Who wants to help me replace my chain this weekend in Nova? Shop told me 2 months ago $30, now they wan't $120. Not happening. My boy in baltimore said he can do it, but crap, that's like a 2 hr drive. Watching youtube vids doesn't seem that hard to do yourself...

Re: Cycle whore thread
No. Well all you need is a chain breaker or grinder right? I also don't have stands. 
Looks more than likely I'll be making that trip to BMore tomorrow. A dude in Alexandria said he could help but, he's only available today and I don't think I can get it done today. Argh!
