Are you guys doing any modification on the brake lines? Mine are a little pinchedat the highest setting

[choneofakind]

^^ when I installed mine last summer, I didn't worry about doing anything to the lines. When I replaced the brake lines with SS lines over winter, I took the chance to trim an inch or so off the line from the rear master reservoir to the brake pedal since I already had emptied the lines during the install.

Will be ordering on payday

[jp129]

Very quick shipping, mine arrived today as well. Will be installing tomorrow!

That's why I've been using USPS these days. The price isn't bad, and it's only 3 days to the west coast. AND... it moves on Saturday. UPS has been getting slow, and it stops on the weekend. SO... it could be as long as 8 days to the west coast.

so how's the linkage supposed to look? i have them on but not sure if i've got the linkage right

Basically... just use either the long or short rod, and the coupler nut to lengthen the shifter as needed. There isn't a "Back and white" answer since you have to adjust it for the different mounting positions.

Got it today. Thanks Dr. H!

[LoD575]

Mine arrived today and installed them. Still going to play around with different positions.

I put mine on the highest and to the back and didn't notice any problems with my brake lines. I'm having some adjustment issues with my shift linkage but I think I just need to play with it a bit more

[NathanUc]

EDIT:
Nevermind, the nut that locks the shifter in place wasn't tight enough I guess. All sorted out now.

So that this isn't a empty post, here are some pictures (Note, bike is dirty! Replacing chain this weekend as well)

[250rvenom]

What if i didnt put myself on the list and still want to use the discount.

[DailyRidden250R]

I am almost positive Dr. H will let you in on this but the official date for the group buy was over last Friday. So don't feel bad if you don't get the discount.

Just use the code on the last page.

[DailyRidden250R]

So how does it feel riding in a different position?

Sadly, I've only done about 30 miles with them on and only about 10 of those were with the shift linkage properly adjusted but it feels much more comfortable when I lay on the tank. Being 6'3, the added tuck of my legs (more downward knee angle) really helps keep my leg under the tanks lines all around.

Can't wait to really give it the beans and try some twisties this weekend.

I settled on the highest position in the first row and loving how I am now able to lock my knees against the tank.

The rear brake reservoir line is kinked which will be remedied this weekend.

are there instructions for these? i want to install mine. or is it pretty self explanatory? what goes where?

Really, no instructions needed at all. Just use the shiny new bolts to mount the adjusters and use the stock bolts to mount your rear sets to the adjusters.

The only 'tricky' part is getting your shift linkage comfortable. It's trial and error sorta, but still not difficult. If you wanted, I can make a short video for you how to set up it.

I know others are having some issues with their rear brake lines, but mine seemed ok.

Can't you cut it short and get rid of the kink? It is a low pressure line, isn't it?

please post a video for how to set it up...

im just confused looking at the package. what are the two long threaded bolts for? same with the two nuts and the longer nut?

The 2 long threaded rods, are to extend the shift linkages. You use whatever one is needed, depending on the position you use. The coupler nut holds the extension rod... and the 6mm nuts are used as lock nuts, so nothing comes loose.

I have some time between classes tomorrow. I'll try and throw a video up for you.

Yes it's a low pressure line and I will be trimming it to eliminate the slight kink.

I was trying different positions and wanted to find the one I liked best before trimming down the line.

[NathanUc]

The video is uploading right now. It's pretty rubbish but it's something. I won't be awake when it finishes but here's the link: http://youtu.be/_6cebVevwRk

YouTube says it should be live and ready by 11:30am EST though.

EDIT: it's live now (can't sleep....) I applied some video stabilization using YouTubes new enhancement feature so it should be less shaky in a little bit. It's digital stabilization so it sucks.. but meh

Saw some folks making brackets to move the reservoir to get rid of the kink. I thought that was too much work!

Replacement of the rubber brake reservoir line will probably still cost less and involve less time then custom fabrication of a new bracket.

I will be happy with trimming the line.

Thank you for the video Nathen!

thanks for the video... but looks like i had a boo boo! lol

the long threaded rod... BENT! im using the short threaded rod for now, but its seriously not in a comfy spot. it would be perfect with a longer rod.

@Dr Honda - any chance i could get a new one of these? im going nuts!

[Dr Honda]

How'd you bend it? It's 304 stainless!

Send me a PM with your address, and I'll get you fixed up. BUT... I probably won't be back into my shop until Tuesday. (Taking a day for Easter)

[Sonofswin]

My order arrived yesterday (April 7th). Right on schedule, 10 days to Japan.

Wanted to put it on today but had to take the kids to the aquarium.

Will probably be a late night project this week. Here's a pic of the pack so anyone thinking of ordering one knows what they'll get.

[Countersteer]

I installed mine the other day. I would call it a very easy install. I ended up starting out in the farthest back, highest up position with one change: I moved the upper bolt to the forward position to better angle the pegs for how my feet naturally rest on the pegs. See pictures.

And yes, I am deep in the middle of multiple mods, which explains the lack of body work and wired-up stock exhaust. So far I have installed T-Rex frame sliders (highly recommend), swing arm spools and a seriously loud horn!

The body works is about 80% modified to accept standard (no-rise) Woodcraft clip ons, I have a DanMoto GP Titanium slip on, K & N R-0990 pod filter and SixSigma jet kit on the way. I also have a CustomLED integrated taillight, RaceTech fork springs, and 2007 GSXR750 rear shock waiting to be installed.

Big things are in store for this little bike!

Cool exhaust hanger bro.....

Just kidding :P Those sound like a lot of stellar mods! Hope you post more about them as time goes on.

Also, when them tilted down like that, have you done any aggressive riding yet? I was considering that but sort of afraid I'd run into some clearance issues in a full lean.

[Countersteer]

No aggressive riding yet. The bike is not sorted correctly for that, the stock fork springs leave me unable to ride very aggressively due to the frontend slamming to the ground under hard braking...RaceTech's should fix that!

Like my Custom Exhaust Hanger? You can get one too from www.CustomRustedWireExhaustHangers.com, they're pretty cheap and fully customizable by the user!

Take care...

My shop is in Latrobe, but I'm in and out... so we would have to arrange a time. Also... I'm "Industrial"... not a bike shop... so there isn't much to see other than me and my equipment.
