Hey adam, just re-read your thread again. After having finally finished my bike days ago, I too am noticing black residue all over my rear disk (none on front). Maybe time for a new set of pads?

Thanks Fractal and Crusoe.
I edited the above post and added the url link.

No bouncing at all, I adjusted the rebound as describe in the manual owner and even with the extra 55 pounds, it is prety stable.
When I lift the bike with one hand, the center of mass is around the yellow arrow, what about yours?

4800 km done so far on this bike this summer and I never had any serious issues.
I didnt work much on the bike lately, but my crusade against mud is still ongoing...
I scanned the front fork on the 3 D scanner as well as the "THE mudguard" I bought from Ebay.
I then modelised a strong ABS adaptor plate to secure the fender in place.
With this methode, the fit between pieces is perfect and there is no movement at all.
My next chalenge is to increase the length of the rear fender

I want a 3D scanner too. Where can I get one at a good price?
I'm planning to get a CNC router in order to get my own parts:

If I also have a 3D scanner I will try to copy you :lol:

But I'll mill aluminium only as still would put the machine on its knee.
Here's a video of the tool machining aluminium:

So it can still do (soft) metal such as aluminium.
And torque arm can even be made of aluminium so it seems to be a good tool!
oatnet said:What do you intend to make parts out of? Those cheepo cnc's are OK on plastic/wood/PCB etc, but don't have the power or rigidity to do a good job on metal.
For 3d imaging, I've been pondering building a 3d David LaserScanner setup myself:
