since my bikes black i use 2" black masking tape then just run a blade around the edges to cut it down to shape nicely, run credit card over creases and it comes out pretty clean. (when i actually take my street bike to the track once or twice a year) do not ever put duct tape straight on your...

whatever wax i happen to have at the time. sometimes just wd-40.

It's quite easy, start early, stay hydrated, snack on the road, i recommend a tank bag. i've done multiple 1,000-1,500 mile days including a few back to back...to back. In regards to the IB association, personally, i'd never give em a penny, i dont need a license plate holder or pin to prove i...

two things. if you're going to do the upgrade, go 07+ and get the brake upgrades as well. the 06- aren't as good as an upgrade. second thing, usually r1 forums are where they sell r1 forks ;) Yamaha R1 Forum: YZF-R1 Forums and there's actually a lotta forks for sale, even saw a great deal on...
