What I had done:

• Stiffer springs (Racetech)
• Upgraded valving (Racetech, emulates a cartridge fork)
• New seals for my leaky forks
• And of course the install of the Ohlins rear shock

Man what a difference! :rockwoot: The front end no longer dives during braking, or even just closing the throttle and the bike feels a lot more stable through turns. I couldn't be happier! :beers:

I believe the suspension on your bike is now worth more than the actual bike. :lol: Nice!!!!!!!!!!! Bet it feels great.

Forgot to mention...this was my first good ride (not just back and forth to work) after getting my new seat. Feels very nice on the booty! :beers:

Looks good.

ohlins, thats damn sexy mrs colleen!

i bet your booty feels great.

Damn it ! My wife sucks ! Great ride Mrs.Colleen !

hhmmmm, thinking the same thing.:whistle:

good for you Colleen.

Saw that coming

:rofl: :beers:
We all did! :wink:

Ohlins FTMFW!!!! Performance, customer service, reliability, technology and quality engineering. They are the top of the heap.

Looking great Colleen. Oh yeah, and the bike looks great too.

looking good.. i am definitely digging the yamaha.. great choice.. glad to hear the mods went well.. i did the 520 chain conversion this year on my R6 and man what a difference.. looking forward to playing around with it at the track..

looks good! though you need to get a red shield :lol: get your hubby to get a blue one... while your at it...:wink: just in time for your "stimulant" check

Red shield? Like a red face shield? :?:

He meant windscreen.

:td: I just want clear or smoke/tint...not a fan of the color matched ones. :no:

What I really want to do is smash the blue screen into tiny little pieces...but I guess I should wait until I get a new one. :idk:

colored windscreens ftl.


drk smoke is the only way to go w/ a windscreen.

do it at speed by hitting some sort of wildlife, and videotape it.

That looks awesome! Glad to hear your enjoying the money well spent!

yeah i don't like the color match either..

i might wait until the new one is installed before destroying the old.. but i also save my old parts in case something happens so i have a back up..

helped last night when my headlight burnt out had an extra..

wish i had an extra windscreen because broke the one on there now..

Paint the backside black...

Always a good plan.

I am not really going to destroy the windscreen. It just drives me crazy because it is so ugly. :td:

Paint it black... quick, easy, and it'll dress your bike up nice.

I'm not a huge fan of colored wind shields... but if your not going to tuck and actually look through it... they can add a bit to the bike.

And, we have a winner!

The bike looks great! You did a good job with it :)

That is sort of on my to-do list. If I am going to paint it I want to be at a point that if it looks worse I will pay the $$ to get a new one...but I don't want to spend the money yet so I have been putting it off.
Thanks! :beers:

well if you do destroy it and use a gun or explosives or something make sure you video tape it on and post it on here.. i always like to view me some great destruction..

I'm with mudpuppy... oh... and do it topless... :wink:

great input ebbs..

it's why I'm here :lol:

I'll...ummmm....get back to you......with that video.......or not......:whistle:

:lol: just make your hubby a copy... and give us the origional

you are always thinking Ebbs - that's what i like about you.. a great thinker you are..

:lol: I'm here for.... well... me... but usually it benifits you guys too... :lol:

Ebbs is known to do the 'thinker' and the 'stinker'.

Damn, Mrs. Colleen!!! You went whole hog on that mutha:rockout:

man speaks the truth :lol: (usually doing the former too hard causes the later)

:iagree: I did that to mine and I'm really pleased with it.
