Nice batch of parts just arrived for my 40th street bike.

2.0 bar radiator cap
Brake lever guard
Tire valve stems
Aluminum engine mount spacers
Captive wheel spacers
Clutch springs
Right side engine cover guard
GP shift sensor
Tank grips

 

Put some work in on the 40th

Relocated the horn from under the triple over to the side by the EVAP canister

FTEcu sensor so I can have GP shift

@Gravesport brake guard of course

Right side engine guard cover

2.0 bar radiator cap

Yanked the wheels and installed the aluminum captive wheel spacers

 

I was thinking that you must be bored pulling off the wheels JUST to install the Graves spacers, but then I remembered you mentioned earlier about replacing the GPR-300 tires.

 

Yep, time for the Dunlop Q5

I was able to really clean the green wheels off the bike too. It was time.

 

They definitely show the grime and chain fling more than the black wheels, but I love them anyway.

 

I will always put a set of tires on the 40th that will wear out as fast as possible so that I don't go too long before getting the wheels totally clean.

I especially enjoy the bright color when it is mint!

 

40th got the Graves tank grips, which neatly disappear on the white tank!

And lastly some of their aluminum valve stems and Dunlop Q5

 

I just installed these tank grips. Any advice to get the small air bubbles out? I have the black bike so the bubbles are noticeable. Do they disappear with time?

 

@AV80R would you be so kind as to link where you got your carbon heel guards from please? I’m after some as I’m not sold on the silver ones.

 

I got them from Webike: Motorcycle Parts, Accessories, Gears, OEM parts & Reviews

Thank you, I’ve had a look and can’t see any carbon bits on there.
I may have to try Ali express but 50/50 on what ends up coming 😖

 

I've sold a bunch of stuff in the classifieds here over the last year.

Those A-Tech ones linked above are the ones I had. 👍🏼

 

I figured @AV80R was a Graves employee/embassador all along, selling parts on various clandestine channels

 

We can't afford him and need his business lol

 

I've been using Graves parts and accessories for almost 25 years.

 

 

Chain guard on my KRT track bike modded at the suggestion of my buddy Jorge at Graves.

For the purpose of having more space to remove the wheel?

 

For the purpose of chain guards don't belong on track/race bikes!

I usually remove them altogether but this is a better solution that retains the mudguard to protect the shock.

Makes sense, I mean you went out of your way to buy the carbon mud guard, would seem weird to then remove it. Either way, it looks quite good cut like that in my opinion.

 

You need to paint you van in the 40th edition colors like this one.

 

The only way that will happen is if I'm sponsored/paid to ride my 40th, which has a chance of less than 0.00000001%!

 

You won’t get sponsored with that attitude.

 

Exactly 😜

 

Just spent the afternoon reading this thread.
Man, I wish I would have started with this thread first.
It would have saved me some headaches.

Awesome thread AV80R!
You work DOD or civil aviation?

 

Glad you enjoyed it. Aviation is just a hobby for me, not work!

 

We double dog dare ya ....................😀

Requesting updates 🏁🏁

 

How come there are no new posts by AV80R?

 

His account is still here and open for use so he didn't get banned. 👍
When I left the forums they banned me for no good reason. 🤷🏼‍♂️

So either Arash got pissed about something here or about an admin and probably left.
I think we all miss him and he was one of the original OG posters here when this forum came to be.

Hope to hear from you soon Arash. 🙏🏽

 

Signing my name to the petition. He is certainly missed. I'm sure he's just on vacation and he'll be back soon.

Pretty long vacation then...

 

@ar15400 there's a pretty simple answer to why he no longer posts here

 

It's unfortunate that a moderator cannot utilize the IGNORE feature. If they could, he would probably still be here. It worked for me.
