For the 1999 Suzuki SV650 I have: - Headlight - Choke lever and cable (Ha! Remember chokes?) - All four turn signals - Left passenger peg and bracket (I assume the right bracket was needed for the exhaust. I probably have the right passenger peg somewhere.) - Air filter
I think that's my last addition to the list. I'll start eBay and Craig's List ads in a few weeks. I really appreciate having sold stuff before having to put up more formal ads. Thanks guys! Please snap up anything else you need as I'm a motivated seller and would rather sell a bit cheaper and avoid the hassle of eBay.
Later, Kent Larson text for faster replies: sex 1 too eight 6 ate 3 for 1 four (you can figure that out, right?)
Adding on 9/13: For the Pit Bull front stand, I have two pieces: F0001-052, Adapter #2, (Sleeve for Standard Pin, F0001-050) F0001-008, Pin #8 (Looks like it fits the Yamaha R1 and R6)
In addition to the above (sold) edits, I should add:
- Scotts steering damper with a mounting kits for a bunch of bikes. I think there are adapters for the GSXR1000, SV650 and CBR929 at least. Used only a dozen weekends over one year of racing but showing a disappointingly large amount of oxidation on the pivot pins while sitting on the shelf the last 8 years.
Keep in mind that I'm looking for low-ball offers. Feel free to make an offer for any of this stuff that you'd feel is border-line insulting. I'll probably take it just to get the stuff gone without having to take nice pictures and add detailed descriptions and get all the stuff up on ebay or craig's list.
I'm trying to clean out all the extra bike stuff from my garage and I'm posting a quick list here and on the mnsbr site before needing to start doing the hard work of pictures, complete descriptions, asking prices, etc. needed to put the stuff on ebay and craig's list.
I'd really like everyone to come over this weekend and make a bunch of low-ball offers so I can clean out all this crap. Should we have a party? Does anyone remember the great fried chicken sandwiches my wife used to make for the Moto GP watching parties?
If I can't get anyone to clean me out of inventory, heavy sigh, I guess I'll have to start listing things with picture on ebay and craig's list, _shudder_twitch_. Here's a copy/paste of what I have listed so far over at http://www.mnsportbikeriders.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=77444 If anything gets sold, I'll edit here and there with a (sold) note.

No more racing for me, ever. (I'm really depressed now) Later, Kent
It is a 1997 with 137,000 miles (yes 137K I didn't add an extra zero by mistake). The original front end took all the damage with mangled forks and broken wheel. I haven't looked at it for a while but if I remember correctly, the new forks would slip into the triple tree but the new wheel was too wide for the triple tree. The ABS-wheel has a gear for the abs sensor. Perhaps buying a ABS model triple tree would let everything bolt up but I don't know for certain.
So, currently no front end on the bike. I sent the original forks to Traxxion Dynamics (they owed me $600 at the time) to see if they could rebuild them with new tubes and then UPS lost them for me but I have the ABS model forks and front wheel (seller didn't know they were ABS).
Anyway, it's a mess. Please take it from me. Maybe I could find a reputable passionate motorcycle nut who wants to do all the ebay/craig's list work and split the income? I'll provide all the inventory at zero cost, you do all the sales work. 50/50 split on profits?
Anyone want to make a really fast go-cart? Here's everything you need for the power plant.
I have this complete ST1100 with mangled front end that has been sitting in my garage for the last 5 or 10 years. I'm never going to do anything with it (I now admit to myself) and am looking to get it gone. The bike runs great but without a front end it isn't going anywhere.
I also have a front end but it doesn't match (ABS vs Non-ABS issue).
The bike belonged to a mn-sportbike associate and after he crashed it in Iowa, I paid the towing charges and brought it back since I was passing by on my return from racing Heartland Park (fun track by the way, race it if you can. Loved turn 2's sideways wheelies). My thought was to get him back into riding when I showed him how easy it would be to get his bike back on the road. Didn't work. He signed the title over to me and it's been sitting since.
I think I've got about $1200 total into the bike and new front-end. I'd take $800 for someone to pick it up and make it all go away. I'm sure I'd get 2 or 3 times that if I started parting it out on ebay but I don't have the patience or temperament to ebay stuff. If you want just the engine/transmission/carbs/drive-shaft/exhaust, how about take it, ebay everything else and pay me $800 from your profits?
I cleaned out the carbs and got it running a few years back to run stable(tm)-treated gas through everything. Clean title.
My thought is, we already piss people off and the whole lane splitting thing just makes it worse. This bypassing of general automotive rules on public streets would only make the haters hate more.
Completely agree. My wish is to have lane splitting and filtering legal _AND_ have car drivers be cool with it instead of being pissed. I do understand that is a fantasy dream world not reality. Even in CA, people were pissed. Doesn't make sense to me. If it pisses you off, get a bike and enjoy the privilege yourself.
Letting bikers keep going while traffic is at a stand-still doesn't make any of the trapped vehicles take longer to get through the blockage while quickly removing the bike riding minority. So, if anything, allowing lane splitting will only help to reduce backups. But the privilege will be abused by few (splitting doing limit+10 or 20 or more while traffic is moving at posted) and make it be hated by many. It's never going to happen here anyway...but...I'll always wish it would be enacted.
I'd love to have it legal here in MN. It was a nice option to use in CA. I can't understand why anyone in CA would take a car anywhere. Another option that would be nice is filtering at stop lights. I was doing that all winter for a few years but it really seems to upset the few police officers who stopped me to talk about it.
During warm weather, most drivers seem mad if you filter at the lights despite the fact that you going first doesn't slow anyone else one iota. But when the temp is below freezing, most drivers (not police) seemed just fine letting the poor cold bike rider use the lights to skip past the pack and get home sooner.
It can't be made "safe" since riding in general is not safe but that's my job as the rider not the law's job or the other driver's job. If I'm taken out, it was my fault for not being ready regardless of how stupid a move was made by some another driver.
Make splitting and filtering the law in MN! It will be extra incentive to commuting by motorcycle and make bikes a higher percentage of the traffic. Increasing the motorcycle use will make traffic better and parking easier for everyone.
Oops, on closer look it is only a preview sample of 20 pages or so. Sorry. Still has a few nice pictures of some of my buddies from a former life. Later, Kent
Hey! I just found the entire 2nd print of the book I wrote with Pat, Jason and Max can be read online. It was linked to a Wiki article. I think it has a really good chapter on setting up suspension and some other entertaining stuff (but I'm biased).
Welcome. I'm a new member as well. Hope to see you on a ride sometime soon. My boy's baseball season ends next weekend (7/11, 7/12) with a tournament so my wife and I should be able to join a ride or two soon after that. Like the looks of that Hyperstrada.
Are you the Kent with the barb wire from 15 years ago? Did that WR get into Dual sport riding?
Yep, that is me. I don't recommend riding your bike through a barb wire fence but I guess it could have been a lot worse. I got the WR for winter/bad weather commuting. It paid for itself in fuel savings (vs. my truck) at 35,000 miles but it is going to start needing some more expensive maintenance soon. Rings, timing chain, etc.
I should always have my trusty/rusty little WR250R. It's my winter and bad weather ride. I just bought a new exhaust for it (original can broke the weld to the header pipe) and did a valve check/adjust (exhaust valves needed a minor tweak but intake were spot on still at 36,000 miles).
I'll put new tires on before winter and I may want to do cam chain and rings but I'm worried if I take it apart it will never get back together again.
I'm heading to Boy Scout camp with my son this weekend but I'd love to get together sometime in July. Send me a text and we can set something up. Susan and I will try to make a weekend group ride or two in July as well so maybe I'll see you then. I have the same cell number from 20 years back if anyone wants to contact me.
Kent 6 one 2, eight 6 ate, 3 for 1 four (I say that way as I pretend it keeps net-bots from grabbing it and plaguing me with junk)
