> no thats about as good as i could ge that spot…its VERY large and very bright and there really isnt any detail in there to take it out. The reason you got that it seems you focused on something darker and the camera metering used a slower shutter speed alowing the light on the hood to intensify more…I usually always try to focus on something thats a little brighter so it gives me a little more shutter speed and its usually alot easier to fix a little underexposure then a blown out spot

Yeah I think I metered off the grill. I can’t remember cause that was over a month ago I took the picture. I always forget to meter off bright spots. I’ll keep that in mind on my miata shoot.

Holty, that R1 looks great with the Repsol scheme, but it makes me cringe to see the bike cinched down that way…very hard on the fork seals.

Well, it sure looks like the R1 I just had last year…but, you are right, I don’t know Japanese bikes all that well.

edit: on closer look, I just noticed the CBR racing logo. And yes, I know Repsol sponsored Honda years ago, I know who Mick Doohan is, I just don’t watch racing anymore

And, it doesn’t matter what bike it is, that is a bad way to strap a bike down. I have receipts for needless fork rebuilds to prove it. ☹

Well, maybe you don’t think you have an issue, but your fork seals would be much happier if you didn’t pull them down that way.

thtas how they say to do it, and why would a invert fork get ruined by compressing the front forks soem so the bike wouldnt bounce around?

Well, now that I have completely derailed the thread, I am just going by what much smarter people (racers and suspension gurus) have told me when I started having problems with my already revalved suspension. I have a canyon dancer strap that I haven’t used in years that I would be happy to give away.

My fault, sorry. I’ll stop posting now since it appears that it’s doing no good. The original pictures were very nice, though.

it doesn’t hurt the seals at all, if any damage is to be had, it will be in the form of sagging springs from extended periods of being tied down. your seals leaked from lack of maintenance. you need to pull the dust seal and clean under it every once in awhile.
