sicklle and canuckFZR:
if you look closely in the picture with the engine hoist in it, you can see whats left of the carbs, k&n's, and jetkits I bought from you guys, like, a frickin few weeks ago :roll:


all my spare parts for the FZR were in there, luckily she wasnt, but if I had finished the valve adjustment on the Ninja last weekend she woulda been since its been raining the last few days

so thank god for small favors


the lowers for the FZR were there, including the middle V fairing, a YZF750 clutch master/slave, exup carbs with stage 3 jet kit, dual K&N's, the manifolds, exup airbox and k&n, spare Dj stage 1 and 3 jet kits, my spare jets for my genny carbs, my spare cltuch plates and barnett metal discs, spare clutch springs etc etc etc etc

the fairings bother me alot, and the carbs, because I moved them to the garage, THIS PAST WEEKEND :hissy

those lines are me with my jaw dropped! I've had nightmares of that my friend. I'm soooooooo Sorry.

We had our home burned to the ground when I was 11years old so I know a little bit about what you're going through. Again, Sooooo Sorry.

none of it was life/death to keep the bike running, just a pile of spares to ensure minimal downtime of course

and my 'good' lowers, they weren't great, but were complete :(

mostly what sucked is that all my EXUP carb project parts gone, exup carbs, DJ stg 1 and 3 kit, k&n's, air box w/k&n and clamps, boots, metal intakes off the head........

guess I won't be doing that project ever prolly, just get a good jetkit to replace the junk DJ kit in my bike now......or buy jets and try and and sort em out myself....

Hi vinsanity69,

The dam is a pure American Saddlebred and the sire is Arabian. Don't know why they mixed them up like that but I'm not complaining. Great combo in my opinion.

the house did catch fire, but its not mine :?

rental garage, the owners ins is investigating and confirmed electrical as the source, and is working on pinpointing exact cause.

It was either the outlet, or maybe an aircompressor, but the air compressor is 99% of the time turned off.

I hope its his wirings fault, then I may be able to get $$ back from him and not have to pay his deductable on teh garage :(
