hey guys what parts of the bike do you think might benifit from some poly urethane replacements. I havnt really taken a detailed look at what i could change over to polyurethane. I have 5 gallons of 94a poly. hard stuff used for making motormounts and bushings. , if there are any rubber parts on the sus this would definatly stiffen it up alot and take out alot of sloppyness. i just havnt really taken the time to study the bike.

Fork spring spacers! (to absorb those smaller bumps...) j/k
But you could make all kinds of replacement parts and sell them here. Such as: the handlebar rubber mounts, the gas tank rubber bumpers, the rear cowling/sidepanel rubber grommets, footpegs(!), or re-covered footpegs, and the under-seat bumpers.

Oh, and a friggin' plug for the swingarm pocket made by the swingarm-dogbone-shock-mount (that's always loading up with dirt).
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

good ideas! after this weekend I will be more free to do things on my time off so I think I will be taking a detailed look at the bike and seeing what I should replace with poly.

Thanks!
