I was a huge Speigler fan, specifically their banjo turn capabilities massively reducing the thankfully deceased era of loooog braided lines poking all outside the front-end, no matter how precisely and accurately you tried. The Speigler pressure loss-less brake line; quick releases (a must on and endurance racer). They were price fairly for what they offer and service is great.......
But along comes CoreMoto lines....
They use all the identical components found on the Speigler, including all lines and outer shells as well as banjo/bolt color combos. Even custom orders for those weirdos with various pedigree bikes that go unnamed... get them for a third of the cost of a Speigler front set. A rear Speaigler is like $75.00 - meh. Tell them you have friends who have bought lines from them love them.
name drop as need - dont know if it will help, Better yet, just to be confident and ask! If you dont get it, ask again. They love telling you all the details,,,fascinating.
Custom length front lines (3" diff between two) and rear line (had to have this 18% longer due to the new longer wider swinger, the larder oddly shaped rear caliper (might use it for a door stop) where I am also stealthing the rear master cyl totally out of site in addition any other bits I can stealth.
All the lines are with transparent red shells with visible SS weave through them with titanium (tone) rotating banjos and TRUE Ti pre-wire drilled bolts (Yieeeee). They feel like plastic in your hands, light, so light, machined to mil-specs, almost "soft", hard to explain.
I placed my order on line then called an hour or so later just to be sure they were reading these odd dimensions correctly. Once confined, they arrived about 7 days later (It is race season - I was warned and said for them take a couple weeks. OK, I say here is 15% payment today with receipt..... just to prime the pump...
Hells Bells, Any quality line with a great support crew will take care of 90% of issues next day - no change or offer a deep discount if they determine it was use/installed/abused in error...FaiR!
I will buy more of these CoroMoto lines for a possible stable mate for the 8 & RZ in heartbeat.................
D..... is for DANGER and...Daaamn, I almost have a one of a kind, California EPA despised, child scaring, lanesplitting while deafening drivers, nearly unidentifiable "race bike" of some king out on puplic roads.... working

You and your rz thing/beast... And I can't even find the motivation to install that one wire on my bike and put it all back together. I'd love to go back to 40 hr weeks, I was so damn productive back then  |

I do the 40-50 per week, each night i change clothes and walk to get a few miles under my belt, have a bowl of grilled veg, then into the garage for 1 to 2 hrs then crash out... Repeat.
It is such a routine that even on a unmotivated weekend, I just get up and go. It is all I have to offset the other 89% of the days. Mine and mine alone. Alone time is so underated.

I think a garage would definitely help my case, but it's currently a "go lay in the parking lot and crawl under the bike" type deal and it's not appealing. I also averaged 64 hours a week in June. At this point, even 50 would be great lol. I could study more and get shit done at home. |

She lives again!
Replaced the wire, ziptied and routed it very diligently, and took her on a 40 minute ride to recharge the battery. Next stop is the chain and sprocket set sitting in my living room. Winter does a serious number on chains

so i got some great news yesterday. ok so, to start off back in january i bought a brand new Bell RS1 helmet on closeout for 100$. It was a 400$ helmet but since production ceased they were selling for dirt cheap. well last week i went and tried to install my sena on the new bell and when i went to take the cheek pads out the entire liner went with it. the glue completely failed and it was a shit show and i was PISSED to say the least. i email the website i bought the helmet from with multiple pictures basically saying WTF. they pass on my claims to Bell directly through their warranty program. I just got an email yesterday from bell saying that they are going to warranty my helmet and since the RS1 model is no longer in production that they are going to send me a brand new Bell Star (this helmet replaced the RS1 in production). So basically i got a helmet which on sale you cant get cheaper than 300$ and original price is between 4-500 for $100. Im freaking pumped. and on top of that i wasnt too crazy about the pattern on my helmet, hence the reason i plasti dipped it. now im getting a plain old matte black, i requested a colored one but over email they said they would accommodate if possible otherwise im just getting a matte black which you cant go wrong with. So yea im super pumped. Also kind of excited to see which helmet ends up at my door. its like christmas in July, but literally.

cant go wrong with Speigler, and now Core is doing the rotatimh banjo, so yay! Coremoto has changed. Three years ago they used to sell all kinds of stuff including headlights and cheap HIDs. I bought some from them, cheap = garbage and I got what I paid for. However, their customer service at Coremoto back then left a heap ton to be desired. Very disappointed and will never order from them again, I think they use shoddy components to sell things at a lower price. I hope they have changed their practices too, because now they only sell brake lines. Good luck DGRAY! |
