For example: I never ever ever take my Sony e-reader out of my bag, just my laptop. In the many many airports I have flown out of, it's never been a problem... until Jacksonville. THEY make me take that, plus my cell phone out of my bag. Um, yeah. Inconsistency.

Nice looking ride, but not only has he changed front & rear spring rates, but he added an aftermarket dogbone too. So you have no idea how it's gonna ride. What is the weight difference between him & you? I've bought a couple bikes from people who customized their suspension, and riding it home was a horrible experience......Complete pogo stick, lol. |

What was the 1" rise dogbone for? I mean, if he installed heavier springs for his weight, he shouldn't have had to raise it with a dogbone. Unless maybe he wanted quicker turn-in or something......But I would check a Busa forum to see if that's actually a common mod.

Buy the tool there.
It sucks that the planes are aluminum, or else you could play "Lets see if the magnetic tank bag can hold on at 560mph".
