If you have no probs with the Akro burning your stock fairing, you won't have it with the A-Tech fairing. So what do you want to talk about, your pipe, the A-Tech bodywork, or a carbon fiber tank??

Nonono...Don't get me wrong, I love to talk about all three of the above subjects! Just thought we might want to start a new thread if it wasn't about the tank.

[chuckles] Hey Swft...do YOU slow down when you open your mouth? If not, I'm sure Superman would like to know that.

Owch! *laugh* Just talked to John, and the tank should be ready in less than two weeks. Should be a nice unit. I looked at the depth that a dry break would take, and the tank is too shallow at the fill neck to accomodate one, so I just went with the 1/4 turn cap.

Marchesini wheels

What model Marchesini wheels did you go with?

quote:
Marchesini wheels, so carbon won't be that much lighter. And not impressed with all the issued with Dymags. Carbon everything else, race (A-Tech) bodywork, prolly carved off more weight there than a set of wheels. Was a full Ti muzzy, will be a full Ti Ti-Force. I know there's a post somewhere, think it's labeled 'weight watcher' something.

You might want to talk to Doug Meyers, he might have contacts over in Japan that could be of help. The A-Tech bodywork just fit so sweet, I wouldn't even consider anything else.

It must be the fumes from the carbon or something!
