When I was working at a Yamaha dealer here in Dallas a long time ago I saw a lot of melted fuse boxes. We found that it was most often caused by corrosion in the fuse holder itself. Sometimes the connectors that the fuse plugs into would also become loose and cause the fuse tabs to overheat. Very se...

Thanks for all of the help guys. I'm finally getting some time to finish some of my wish list on the bike. This has been on the top of the list next to my fuel injection system (which is back under way again by the way).

You guys aren't giving me alot of confidence here. Should fit!! Won't be the nicest fit!!. Does this mean they will be jury rigged or something? As this is obviously a safety issue I'm not real comfortable with that. Are the R6 or R1 brake lines long enough for my bike? Maybe I will go ahead and buy...

Blue Dots for my YZF750

I finally won an auction on ebay for a set of blue dots. Only took 6 months of trying to get them at what I wanted to spend. I already have a R6 master cylinder. Does anyone know if the brake lines from my bike will fit the new stuff? I have stainless braided lines and don't want to have to buy more.

I originally went there to check out the new store and see about getting a new front tire. I wound up buying a pair of gloves and 2 new Michelin PP's instead. Mike made me such a deal (grand opening special :roll: ) that I couldn't pass it up. Love the Michelin's by the way. Been running Metezler's ...

This is why I work on Porsches. I can put a clutch in a newer 911 in an hour. I can change oil on one in 10 minutes. And I can charge pretty much what I want becuase the owners have a lot of money and nowhere else to go. Not saying I rip peopleoff, because I don't. It is just easier to make good mon...

Your last post made it sound like the gathering was off. But that was just the way I read it. I understand about getting a chance for a vacation like that. They come few and far between. I'm sure a gathering will happen for you in the future.
