I bought RFY shocks on eBay for $90+shipping. I had them shipped right to Chris Livengood who I paid to rebuild them for $90 including shipping. He is currently building a shock of his own design. The price point is supposed to be affordable. Here is a link to his site

Something new he is doing is offering Spherical bearings upgrade

$200 for a good pair of shocks is reasonable. I was talking about the extensions.

I decided to try some different carbs on the bike. The Mikuni RS36's are to big. After talking to some local guys and Wired George I decided to try some Mikuni BS34's with a stage 3 jet kit from K&N.

Old school Dynojet kit


Still waiting on the carbs but here are some pics










I'm going to have them ultrasonically cleaned then I will get the kits in and once that is done.

They will be more forgiving of elevation changes.

I believe under $200 for the fork extensions but I did not ask for a quote.

Your absolutely right Steve. I just want the bike to be a good daily rider.

It should be that.
Steve

Ultrasonic cleaning kicks ass

BEFORE


AFTER








I will document the the Dynajet process for those that have never done one before.

i CAN NOT GET THOSE F'N PICTURE TO ROTATE, tHEY ARE UPRIGHT ON MY COMPUTER.

BS34's on your build, seriously....?

Oh well....

I have put to much time and money into the bike to not have it run right. I could have dropped another $700 on a new set of CR29s but I just couldn't justify it. They are well recommend by quite a few people. I want the bike to be a dependable daily rider. I want it to run in all areas. Not just full throttle or part throttle. If someone can convince that there is a better set-up out there that won't cost $600-700 I am all ears.

'Figured this (my reply) would come out wrong...

OK, There's nothing wrong with the BS34's on a stock build w/air box if you want to just cruz but your's isn't any longer...
I Can't remember what cam you installed or if you stayed with the 1075 displacement but I'll wager a Dr. Pepper right now that you will be disappointed in the long run.

Case in point when I blew up my first build, went with stock 1000cc setup... Did she run yes felt good but........
She didn't pull like she had, didn't give me the Chubby when I pulled her trigger....

Am I running @ mid to full throttle all the time, hell no... but one thing for sure, on these Highway loop roads where ppl are driving like crap, I twist her to get out of the way, avoid a truly bad situation whatever... she responds immediately... You're not going to get that with those BS34's....

New game plan, 1075cc, GPZ-1100 cams, new rebuilt & ported head by Larry , rebuild the CR's.... OH YEAH, now were talking!....

As for elevation changes, all I do is pull out my screw driver & lean out the pilots a tad (1/8th to 1/4 turn), takes what a whole 30 seconds to adjust.... All good to go when up the hill...

Your build do what you want but just think about this for a second before making your final decision...
You're put in a tremndous amount of time and money into this build no doubt, truly get it been there so what's a tad more into it...
Sell the RS 34's and the original 26's you had on Craig's List/e-bay... Should bring in close to the CR 29/31 price.

Another thing to think about.... Where's the air box going to fit in your build....?
Whole slew of posts on BS34's and pods not working out...

Anyhoot... Can't wait to hook up for a ride with you, luv to see this gorgeous build...
