I originally wanted a Stack tachometer with built-in digital speedometer function but after waiting several weeks with no delivery date available, I cancelled my order and went a slightly different direction. I bought a single function Stack tach but added on a Koso speedo unit. That meant...

Thanks. I’ve been doing a LOT of side jobs so I was able to pay down some garage funding debts. I’ve started taking in less jobs and want to get back into my own projects. Later, Doug

Bump it up! These are taking up room and I don’t want to pay eBay 12+% of the cost for fees. Later, Doug

I reached out to Schmidty Racing Suspensions. $200-220 parts & labor to get a longer line installed. Daugherty offers a BD40 shock that appears to be fully adjustable for $775. I think I may go that route as he said the shock is customizable for my application. Later, Doug

You would think. I’m very close to just selling the Works shock and take a loss and get something that’s not a hassle to deal with. Later, Doug

I haven’t looked locally yet. I contacted Daugherty Suspension about it. The line is $40 but he says the shock needs completely taken apart to change it out which I think is hokey. He charges $150 for a rebuild but since I don’t need parts it would be $125 in labor. I don’t get his reasoning...

Hey all, I’m working on a ‘85 700 Nighthawk that someone removed the ignition switch and twisted all the leads together with a residential wiring nut. :facepalm: Anyways, I have an ignition switch coming but it has 5 wires and the wiring diagram I found shows 5 wires. The problem is that I...

So RT responded with a price of $300 for a new line and labor to refill and recharge the shock!! That’s more than the rebuild that Worx Shocks already performed. So far I have about $750 wrapped up in this shock including the purchase of the shock used. I guess I’ll cut my losses, sell the...

I decided that some self-torture was in order so I set about working on the wiring again. My first attempt was modifying the original harness but I abandoned that. Now I’m trying to use a Zr7S harness since it uses a newer junction/fuse box arrangement and the bikes are loosely related. I still...

I contacted Matt with mixed results. I sent him an e-mail and he promptly replied asking for more details and pics. I sent him pics the next day but got no response. Followed up a couple weeks after. No response. Followed up last night and he responds that he’s “off-site” and can’t help. He gave...

Thank you. It’s hard to believe it’s been 8 years and it’s still not done. I keep changing my mind and parts. I guess this is why people make a thing called a “build plan”. Later, Doug

I bought a lightweight titanium Ladybird muffler several months ago to replace the heavy D&D. The Ladybird had a few dents and dings but was nowhere near the price of a new one. I ended up shortening it 5.5”. I cleaned up the cut end and now the only telling sign I did anything are mis-matched...

Since swapping to the hybrid rear-end mashup, the caliper bracket I made to fit the Brembo caliper with the stock VFR wheel no longer works. So I found just about the smallest caliper I could and set out to remake another bracket. Now the back of the caliper clears and the eccentric can...

I forgot I made this thread but will try to keep it up to date as much as possible. I really need to read through the thread and figure out exactly what I’ve covered and where I left off. I got tired of moving it around and got some time freed up from working on other people’s bikes so time to...

Long story short….I need a place that can provide a longer remote reservoir hose, refill the oil, and recharge a Works mono-shock for me (at a reasonable price). Please don’t recommend Worx Shocks. Their customer service is horrendous. Thanks. Later, Doug
