Yes, I had my tires put on via tire machine and even after sitting for several months and hardening, the machine marked the mags.. nothing you can see from any distance but up close you might see it. With paint, you can at least do touch ups... powder has to be ground off and rebaked.. pain in...
I bought mine months ago... worth it! Just a basic film about guys who wrench and ride and repeat. Kinda like us!
Comes in a cool metal tin with a mini picture book.
Hamish is James in Galic..
My mechanic pinned the HighSpeedHamish on me after the owner called me Hamish one day. The highspeed portion came from racing bikes in the mid-late 90s.. I always had the wrong bike for the track (RZ350s), speed but no torque.
My modified R1 keeps up with that...
Your a little late to the party Skot... were after mid control pegs with the phantom rear brake lever one... there is a spy photo earlier in this thread.
Oh ya.. worked well.
The crank was really fine (bearings) but got rebuilt anyways. (Hey its apart right?)
I think the majority of those shavings are from the tappets and valves (also replaced) because like the crank, everything else didnt really look worn.
All Mac headers seem to have the same internal baffle inside the muffler portion. I have a CM400T (cafe) and my XS both with Mac Exhaust. Not only is the muffler the same dimensions the baffles are almost identical also with the CM400s having smaller internal pipes vs the XS.
I had a baffle...
