Well I wrote and really long indepth post BUT it didn't post so here are the cliffnotes:

Either my starting clutch is bad or my alternator damper or both. Clutch $160 damper $120 on bike bandit.com. Havent been able to find them cheaper. Clutch seems good but I want to replace it anyway just so I know its good and dont have to go through this again. I cant be too pissed. Bike has like 100,000 miles and every part on the inside of the engine looks like brand new. Damper has some play in it so it is getting replaced for sure!

I did see that. But why replace a used part for a used part?

The seat is at 36" at its lowest point.

Its easy to do. I built mine tall on purpose. Just make sure you include an angle in the tail make the bike look so much better.

So I picked a R1 swingarm shock and linkage to mount the R1 wheel I bought that won't fit my swing arm. Should look nice!

With that being said... Anyone need a 1990 CBR1000F swingarm rear wheel with sprocket and disk, shock and linkage?

Oh and one of my fork seals is bad... Now I get to learn how to rebuild forks... Little help on where to get some new seals and whatever else I need...
