Hi CMT, Welcome to the forum! I USED to live in Woodstock GA. Loved riding north GA, NC, TN. See ya bill

Hi, I use gear oil also. Anyway, for the time being....🙄 Used many spray lubricants on chains before. While most do something, the sticky residue is hard to clean up. Ever take off the front sprocket and chain guard? What a mess.... I use a rag and wipe the chain then another rag,with gear oil on it, and wipe the chain in both directions. Seems to work well. The rear wheel does get some fling, but collects some dust on the fling and cleans easily... See ya bill

Hi, https://www.thermosman.com I used to live in Woodstock GA. 1 mile from Traxxion. Good people. I have always heard good reviews for Thermosman in Waleska GA. Only 10 miles from Traxxion. There's also G.M.D. Computrack in Fairmont GA. I got nothing near Charlotte..... Worthless, ain't I... See ya bill

Hi 2&3, Sorry....... Texscottyd was who asked.... See ya bill

Hi 2&3, The switch to SS lines isn't difficult. Take your time undressing the bike, unsnapping the hose clips, keeping track of the routing, and the reassembly will be fine. I suggest using a vacuum bleeder to empty the old brake lines, helps keep the spillage to a minimum. I snipped the hard lines to make it easier to remove them. The rear brake line bracket, where the rear rubber hoses attach to the blocks, was a pain. Easy to see, hard to access and remove. The Spiegler kit has you trimming the bracket. I spent 4 hours dinking around with the replacement. But hey, I'm retired and it was 14 to 30 degrees in the garage..... Bleeding took a long time. I used the vacuum bleeder along with the old manual way. I still need to cycle the ABS for the final result. Lever feel isn't as solid as I want. Won't be dry or out of the 30's for two weeks, so a final report has to wait... Also had the ECU flashed and installed. Jonesing to test it out also! See ya bill

Hi, Changed the stock brake lines for the Spiegler SS lines. Installing a flashed ECU. Hurry up SPRING!!!! see ya bill

Hi, Look on R1-forum.com

Hi onemoreroad, Are you standing on a chair? In a bathroom? See ya bill

Hi, Here is a picture of the R1M caliper. It looks more silverish than bronzish in the picture..... But it is bronzish... Since I don't have the fastest color bike, I have to compensate..... Haha See ya bill

Hi, Caliper upgrade.... Really, I don't know if it is a real upgrade. Maybe bling/vanity... The R1M calipers are a lovely bronzish color...🙄 I understand the R1M calipers have different puck composition, aluminum instead of steel. The right caliper bleed screw has an o-ring and seals well for bleeding. The puck sizes I have not been able to determine if different from the FJ09. Measuring the puck opening, they seem to be the same. The R1 and FJ09 pads have different part numbers, so....... In the pattonforme thread I think I was advised that the caliper swap wasn't done, no advantage. I can say the rotor swap helped. I want rock solid leverage, great initial bite, and fade free performance. I don't like a spongy pull, and trying to eliminate that also... Not sure if the abs will allow this. See ya bill
