    Not easy being green! what's up with carbon/kevlar hybrid fabric

    Anybody know why the whole world seems to be out of carbon/kevlar hybrid fabric in "green"?? I can get all the orange, red, yellow I want but green is the new unobtainium! I've been checking for months now and just wondering "why?"

    FX-1 Started my 650 pump swap

    Looks good! You might have the pump just a tiny bit too far forward if you're using that Pro-tek scoop as a reference. The Pro-tek should have to have the rear mounting hole elongated a bit to allow it to bolt up when the pump is in the correct location. You want the straight rear edge of the...

    FX-1 FX1 Factory B-Pipe. Gas Tank touching

    There's two styles (early and late) of rear tank mounts, the later mount has a thick rubber block on it that helps bias the tank forward. I can't see from your pics which style you have, but might be a factor?? It's always really close whatever mount you have, but the newer style helps.

    FX-1 Kawi pumps what prop

    I've ridden with a straight 15 and the bottom end hookup was better with the SXR prop. The stock SXR is a 13/18 and it's a swirl design, which I think hooks up better than the older straight pitch props.

    FX-1 Kawi pumps what prop

    9/17 is great for bottom hit and with my 9/17 I still run in the 50-55 mph range. The best bang for the buck that I know of is the stock SXR prop with a 6mm setback. You can snag a used (almost new) SXR prop for less than $100. If I were buying a new aftermarket prop, I would lay down the...

    winter riding

    Don't have anything to really compare it to, but after one season so far I can't see any signs of wear or fatigue. I took several high speed "hip bump" turns and leg drag turns and it's holding up to that abuse.

    Bought one of these last year and it works great: http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=13137&pdesc=Gladiator_Nylon_Dry_Suit&cname=Drysuits&aID=600I5&merchID=1009&r=view Price was the best I've seen and I rode in snow/ice and usually sweated my a** off!
