    You don't have to blow the oil down the cable, it'll wick between the cable and the sheath just fine. Not going to hurt anything either of course.

    Street fighter? What's that mean? Or is it just an "advertising" name.

    What kids today call a cafe racer.

    The way I understand it. It's the name the English came up with. Basically a naked sport bike with raised dirt bike handlebars. The seat support is also either changed or modified to get rid of the passenger seat. It's more a bobber style then a cafe racer. The cafe racers have low handlebars and a really funky seat. Clubman style bars are popular on the cafe. The cafe's are usually made from Standard motorcycles. (Where the rider is sitting up straight and the foot pegs are mid position.) Not forward like a cruiser. Not rearward like a sport bike.

    It also reduces the weight of the bike. Especially getting rid of the long seat support that's either welded or bolted to the main frame.

    It's more work then you'd think it would take to convert a sport bike.

    Just tossed a set of Bilstein HD shocks in my 116,000 mi. Durango. The right front shock was totally blown out, after about 1" of travel the valve failed and shock collapsed to floor.

    After it was done the Mrs. said it was night and day over the wallowing manatee handling it had before. Took me about 90 minutes to do all 4... including the required beer breaks.

    Nothing. I haven't ~had~ to do anything. Not even change oil. Everything is in karma.

    Gear head story. Last work I did, a new neighbor walks up. The very first words out her mouth, "I'm gonna need you to change my oil and tune up my truck. Oh...and the guy over there (gentleman that drove a corvette, titty up alternator) asked if he can use some tools.

    I lent the gentleman the tools. All it took was a couple sockets and a ratchet. The chick who Needs stuff....still has the same oil in her truck.

    Blessings.

    The guy with the corvette offered money. Nah.

    This wig chick demanded it.


    Now as a knuckle dragging male. I wouldn't want my women' asking somebody else (male) to fix her car. That's kinda his job. If he doesn't know how. Call somebody. Home girl is a squirrel looking for bat$hit nUtS.


    Killeen Texas is the setting for this.

    What have I done my vehicle lately?

    Rode the motorcycle into a paper wasp doing about 45. I saw him headed right at me. I was wearing a German helmet and goggles. Basturd hit me right between the helmet strap, dead center of my right ear and stung away. Lit me up pretty good.

    So there's that....
