OK, this question is for OSP and Mule.
What do you use for stands, as there is no place for spools on the Buell swingarm?? |

Way to start a project
I got a set of Progrip 724s for my Ninja. Thought they were shit when I first got the box- really thin and mushy feeling. When I got the stockers off, the PGs are softer, but on the bars they feel ok. Still considering putting the stockers back on since the PGs have a very soft flange next to the electronics pods/perches. The grips were easy to get off- just use a smallish flathead to break the glue, then shove an air nozzle in there. Balloon up and slip right off. Dish soap to go back on! You could use normal swingarm stands (without spools)

just saying... the projects can take on a life of their own... next thing you know... you got the thing in so many pieces you lost count.

From there it's subframe time... I am NOT looking forward to taking that bitch off... That will be one wave all in itself, removal and paint prep, then finally painting... Then before I put that back on, I'll work on painting the swingarm and frame... At some point in time I'll have to rotate the engine down and put on the header wrap... |
