Nice, keep us updated along with prices and installing over a flash tune.

That is the only time I use the rear brake. Never in a panic stop, just don't trust the rear brake not to fling me off due to my skill level (I have seen it happen, so no). I have pulled the front brake so hard the back end came off the ground, so not much use with the rear brake then. I use the rear brake when lane splitting, coming to a stop at a traffic light, low speed maneuvers, sand (impromptu offroading), and POPO sightings of course. YMMV

Nice!

Welcome aboard.

Very great story. I am extremely sorry for your loss and hope you have great memories for years to come. Gods speed.

If a proper internal patch is used, I have no problem going full tilt on a patched tire. I am referring to the witches hat type internal patch. A plug patch, not so much, but it would probably be fine for normal day to day riding.

No, do one at a time. you need the rear wheel on unless you have a pitbull type rear stand. Technically you could, but it will be a balancing act.

I do it all the time using a block of wood and a floor jack.

Other than the slight mismatch in color, it looks great (and factory to boot!).

re-read http://fj-09.org/post/50831 Frankly you should, but it's impossible to do that and keep things on the bike. IMO just buy the proper stand and the hand tools and take the frontend apart. It's not hard. Oil volume is not an accurate way to set oil height. The most correct way is to add oil, bleed the cartridge, and then measure height with a ruler or graduated stick. add/subtract till you get to the number you want. I recommend 150mm but 130 works (more resist to bottoming). I started with 130mm and ended up with 150mm. 130mm was a bit harsh (not as much air cushion).

Pictures or you will get a 30 day ban. Just kidding, can you post some pictures of the Cee Bailey please?

First post, and it is a troll post? Please explain?

The Carbtune is a quality tool, but I doubt you will get any closer than a dial type. I have been using a quad dial type for years with good results, just not as easy to work with.

Push the center in, not out (will release the locking mechanism just like pulling it out) and you then use your fingernail to pop the entire fastener out. Note, you do not remove the center piece as some have alluded to.

Very clever Lawrence. Welcome back.
