    Photoshop experts, need your help...

    Looking to paint my V-Rod the Viper color (blue with white stripes), but not sure if it will look good. If someone can photoshop this picture with the Viper color scheme, I'd appreciate it. I have an all black bike, so the frame will remain black as I don't want to get that repainted. Only...

    GTS owners with open exhaust (no cats)...

    Other than putting hi-flow cats to get rid of the exhaust smell, what have you done to eliminate getting exhaust fumes in the cabin? I've read about blocking the side vents in the trunk, but that's not a good idea. Do the rubber flaps in the vents go bad and has anyone replaced it? Has anyone...

    Forgeline VR1 wheels, will they clear Dave's Big Brake kit?

    The diameter is not an issue since the VR1 I'm looking at are 19's, just need to make sure the spokes clear the caliper. I remember Dave listed all the wheels that works with the brake upgrade, but the website is not active anymore.

    Which one will be more desirable in the future...

    first production GTS ('96 b/w), or the Final Edition GTS ('02 r/w)? Given both are bone stock, same condition, and have the same mileage (i.e. under 15K). Also, is the FE worth an extra $6K at the current market? It'll be nice to own both, but have to make only one choice. Prefer to get an...

    Koni/ACR shocks assemblies

    I'll have the shocks rebuilt ('99 ACR), and I wonder if I should get them revalved. Anyone know what these are valved at originally, and what are the spring rates front and rear. Just looking for the '99 ACR specs, as the 2000 + have different shocks/springs. Also, has anyone weighed the...

    TT, SC, or track cars, any of you installed gauges in factory radio location?

    Since I don't use the radio much, and I don't like the pillar gauge pod, I think this would be the best place to put some gauges.

    Anyone using the "newer" RPS clutch and flywheel combo?

    Anyone using the \"newer\" RPS clutch and flywheel combo?

    Anyone makes "bolt on" straight pipes (replaces catalytic pipes)?

    Anyone makes \"bolt on\" straight pipes (replaces catalytic pipes)? Instead of getting rid of your cats completely (cut and weld a straight), it would be nice to be able to unbolt the cat's, and bolt the straight pipes on when racing.
