I don't have part numbers but the most common is from a 95/96 Speed Triple. I've also been told by my mechanic that the 750 Trident is better but since I just...
If it makes you feel any better, Lance, I'm in Vancouver, BC, better known as Lotusland, and we've got a foot of snow and -10C temps. And to think I was riding...

Just because a highly tuned bike has been built without swapping the big end bolts does not mean that it is safe to do so. I wonder how many miles that rig has...
