I am going to get to the west side this summer and check that bad boy out. Bring on the boost You should swing by the west side during Metro Cruise- that's when a majority of the toys come out to play ... Took 6.5wks to arrive on my door step( granted they emailed me next day and said it's the year end rush, so it may arrive a few weeks later than planned)... Quality is pretty damn good, nice powercoat, the aluminum airbox welds are up to my standards I use at work, the exhaust pipe has nice TIG welds that are cleaned up inside( better than my Yoshi in terms of quality ), even the brake line extensions are made by HEL... it looks like it's a well put together kit and really didn't skimp/cheap on parts such as fittings, breathers, even the BOV is made by TurboSmart, overall workmanship, etc... My only gripe so far is the internal turbo waste gate, not a big deal or deal breaker by any means, it's just all my turbo car/truck builds have external waste gates... I can probably thumb thru TurboSmart catalog and fit a external waste gate style housing one of the days and fab up a wastegate dump pipe... that's the one thing I would change if I built a turbo system from scratch myself... 2 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinyribs Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Loaded the saddlebags with gifts to deliver and ran around playing Santa for the past couple days. Think I'm gonna like this Road 5 rear tire. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGonzales Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Polished and greased this bolt of the connecting arm thing. Not a big problem for the pivot point at the moment and would surely work for years, but is there a technical reason why they let every bolt going through spacers dry like the Gobi Desert?

If I disassemble my socialistic 2stroke from 1987, parts are not looking that way. But to save the honor of Yamaha, all other bolts of the relay arm stuff where looking good. I coated everything with grease like I always did and it was never a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1tondriver Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I took off both wheels and took off everything to have them powder coated. I am 99% sure I am going to do white because I keep telling myself cleaning can’t be any worse that flou yellow. I am also debating replacing wheel bearings but probably not necessary at only 4K miles on a 17. What do you all think? Wont have wheels back for a couple of weeks so in the meantime I will install slipper, braided brake lines and most of 520 conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt is attracted to all colors equally! You can play around with bits of vinyl to make subtle, removable style changes here and there, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a xs650/750 tracker project in one corner that went a year, 2, 5, 10, as shinier bottlecaps rolled by. I finally sold the whole works to take up someone else's garage space, haha. In the other corner were my RD's and related 2 stroke crap. I moved that 3 full pickup truck loads to a new home too. Now I have less space in there than I ever did. More, stupid, priceless, junk.

Ooh, what's that? Falling in love with the CP2 is a large reason for that project stalling. I'm kinda bored with I-4's now! But I also know that particular CB engine is quite torquey.

I went with world wide bearings hybrid ceramic kit through Paul @bellissimoto think it was about that for all bearings for both wheels For valvestems, I got these...

Nothing fancy, but the chrome holds up fine and I haven't had any leaks. I use a 90 up front but found I like a 45 better on the rear, especially with our wide wheels.

1tondriver Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Thanks for all the suggestions. I was going to order these. Any reason not to? I have had some Moto-D parts and they were good.
