I was going to clear coat mine but decided to maintain them with Blue Magic. Pretty easy to maintain.
Good move. Koyo make some of the world's best bearings.
Never had a Koyo wheel bearing fail on me, but several other makes have.
Front MC smaller size?
I have stock single disc front, I already have the steel lines, I want a slightly smaller mc, I would like an 11mm w mirror mount. I think stock is 14mm so I would maybe go 12mm, thoughts? Also any information on availability in 11 & 12Mm w mirror mount?
Also, I put new front pads in years ago, n I feel like the ones I bought it with fealt, stopped better, prob oem cause the bike only had like 9,000mi when I got it ten 12 years ago.

And how would one go about shipping a complete exhaust? I see them for sale on eBay but how do I find a rate if I want to buy or sell an exhaust. I'm looking to buy one, unless I can get my dull scratched left side exhaust brighter. Cocke and tin foil mayb? Actually I see eBay putts shipping rates so I might jut look for a nice set there. Is anyone having trouble w ebay? My watch list or most other links of my profile aren't working ven tho I'm signed in. It's saying can't find page?

Ok after reading a bit more I'm going to go w a 12mm Front mc. I need emulsion tubes and needles. What ever I set them at I'm going to set the right side slightly higher w a washer. As per xsjohn. I'm a believer in trying to cool down that right side a bit to match left side heat.
A jet change might be to drastic? I wonder if one up on main different from left side and keep needles the same?
