dwschultzy 12-23-2007, 01:09 AM I purchased mine from absolute cycle performance. I paid allot more for mine.[:@]I have not had a chance to try it out yet. I think it is normal for them to bounce like that.

DThompson 12-23-2007, 02:07 AM I love it that the harley rider is listening to Micheal Jacksons "Beat It" when he comes up next to you.
Any particular reason you cruise around in 3rd gear?
Nismo6RR714 12-23-2007, 03:43 AM u know what ? haha funny how u asked .. I've been riding in 2nd ( most of time in street ) I like to stay low gear in street .. but thats when i had jardine pipe .. it gets kinda annoying after while on two brothers exhaust
Whatever floats your boat, I guess. I'm one of those weirdos that is in 6th gear by 35mph.

rangerscott 12-23-2007, 12:59 PM Put foam (like on earbuds) over the mic area.
By the way, why does your bike sound like crap. :D
You caught that person running a red. You should have followed them and got their license plate. LOL When they pull over and ask what you're doing, tell them. "I'm the red light monitor..........Bitch!!!"
PlayfulGod 12-23-2007, 02:18 PM nice lane spliting. Live in Cali???:D
doesnt seem no more bouncey than any other mounts I seen. Not to mention $30 vs $60+ ya cant beat.
Nismo6RR714 12-23-2007, 11:25 PM I'll try that foam stuff .. just have to tape it over somehow .. i like told u guys b4...i did try this@canyon2day
man ~ we couldnt even hit up a GMR .. almost got sandwiched by guy in front and behind me ..
little after mid point of video .. 07 zx6r black in front me of ran wide .. when ne went down his bike was covering half of lane .. due to that , guy in behind me ran over other guy's rear n went down too .. first clip is how he went down .. 2nd clip is showing damage on Zx6r subframe .. i couldnt take shot 2nd bike's damage ( was helping him out to make it work ) his whole front faring stay broke off .. so i had to use rope to make it secure .. they're fine .. minor scuffs here n there ..

I do it for gas mileage mainly - if you read the owners manual, it recommends being in 6th gear by 37 MPH I believe.
I don't see the point in running in anything lower than 4th gear while at a normal street speed (30-40 MPH). All I'm doing is wasting gas and annoying people with my exhaust. I'm also geared -1/+1, so I'm at a higher RPM than a stock bike as well.
dwschultzy 12-24-2007, 12:14 AM Gas mileage? Thats a good reason.? I just dont see thatmuch of a difference in rpm's between 3rd and 6th at 35mph. But I wasnt knocking you at all. To each his own. I just like having that lower gear ready, incase I have to get out of the way of something.

Yes it is a good reason. I like to save money, since when is that dumb? Lower RPMs are also less wear and tear on the motor. I abuse it enough when I'm driving like an idiot, I don't see the need to do it when I'm driving to the store. I also fail to see how the torque in third gear is going to save you any more than the ones above you. I have never in my history of driving any kind of vehicle have I needed to hardcore accelerate away from anything. If anything, your ability to turn is far more necessary. And I'd rather not highside because my back end flicked out while accelerating in third gear.
I guess 3k isn't all that much of a difference between gears, but the cons outweigh the pros.
dwschultzy 12-24-2007, 10:53 AM I never said anything was dumb. You are leading into that. How are you getting a 3k rpm varience at 35mph between 3rd and 6th gear? I am not re-geared like you are, so that must have something to do with it. Throttle control will stop you from highsiding when you accelerate. But like I said I am not trying to dig on you or knock anything your saying. To each his own. Happy holidays and save that gas:D
meanstrk 12-24-2007, 08:56 PM I used the same type of mount on my CBR at the track., Works decent, but keeps me from getting down on the tank as much as I want..
