I got this one today for the other bike.... I like it. Needs to be polished of PC candy blue for this bike though.

Grab bar is on its way.

I'm sorry, but that bumper is HORRID!

[Gunz]

What bumpers do we both agree on?

The SE 10 & 11?? What else?

[preddy08]

I really like that chivalry

SE 10 and 11  

Shike (= Shawn and Mike), are you going to try that Head Gasket fix that Woofers67 is talking about on MR? Grooving the cylinder and installed a ring in the head to create a "wall". I got his number, I was going to try it.

I dont understand this.... Is he claiming it's new tech? Because hasn't bo been oringing cylinders since like 07? or maybe I'm misreading something.

[preddy08]

The motor is at RE and we're letting them do what they think is best.



As far as the groove and Bo goes. Its a little different ball game. Bo does a simple oring that will smash into the gasket. Bob does a oring and cuts a groove for the oring to sit in.

I thought Bo was grooving both sides and using a rubber o-ring. This is a different spin on that using grooves on both sides and then installing a metal ring on the head portion. It clamps the gasket and forces it into the cylinder channel making a good seal. Same style as Bo I think, just a small change. Either way, im curious if either method will be done to Mike's beast.

[Krandall]

ah, so bo didn't cut a receiving groove onto the head. I know it was a steel o-ring he was using, so that makes sense. thx for clarrification.

I agree though, I'd think even if this wasn't necessary for whatever compression gunz is running, it's a huge safety net

[Gunz]

I'll talk to John about it next time I talk to him. I did have a blown head gasket. Small hole, I didn't even notice it, but then again the last 2 times I rode I was having major intake problems, that could have been the culprit. John said it was really noticeable on the inside. I'm going to jump up in compression. From a 12:1 to a 14:1. I've been considering running methanol verses 110.... Methanol is $2/gallon cheaper here.

I'm pretty sure Bo o-rings cylinders exactly like the D7 guys. Receiving groove in the cylinder and head and .040" stainless steel wire.

I've got a YFZR and a Raptor cylinder oringed from Bo and he does not use a recieving groove.

Only two boxes of goodies today But they are some good ones
