Thats what the mechanic said too, as well as a few of my friends. Problem is, I have no where to store a track back, not to mention no way of transporting a track-only bike. At least, not right now.

Eh, I may keep it, but I'd really prefer not too I think. I'm going to use whatever I get from my car, plus whatever I sell the Bandit for, to get myself a truck or something.

HU a truck and the bandit sounds like good transportation. You cant beat a full size van , great to sleep in. LOL

That's great that you're not gettin' screwed as bad as you thought!

Wish you were closer - I'm considering a Mazda3 S as my next ride.

Also, turns out he didn't sell that Fox twin-clicker, so I'm getting that back too. Much coolness on that, I may have to hang onto it.

If you change your mind... dibbs on the Fox!

You should, they are a kick-ass car! I'm really going to miss mine, she's got the TMW shifter, 20% tint, intake and an adjustable anti-sway bar. Really a fun little car, nice on long rides too. I'm pulling the parts I added off this weekend probally, going to sell them to a guy here at work.

It won't fit on the B4, it's too long by about an inch.

They can be shortened.... but what's it off of/designed for originally? There are some limitations (basically, to shorten the cheap/easy way, you take away from total useable travel by adding an internal spacer), but it can be done. The 'right' way to to swap in a shorter shock shaft (or use a shorter body ~ in some cases, both need to be done to get a shock short enough).

I might be interested if the price is right and no-one else wants it (meaning, I'm spending too much on home renovations and the wife would frown on me if I bough it and spent much... lol).

I will say that I'll miss you guys, though. Best group of motorheads on the net, in my opinion. Not a lot of BS.

You can still check in every once and a while... even if you do buy a honda!
