Howdy , I made up a luggage rack out of some scrap stainless. Posted some pics in the photo section. Should look even better buffed up some more. God Bless,...
Ivy Simpson, Than-X- for the complement. Still needs a litle work, (But don't we all ?) Sattle bag brackets are my neXt callenge. Got some new bags with it,...
There are good detachable saddle bag brackets available. I'm going to be welding my backrest to my detachable brackets so the backrest and bags will come off...
Howdy Jumper, ThanX for the "cute" reply about the luggage rack. It is larger than the stock one. Stock is 9" wide, tapering to 8", and 8" long. The one I...
John, I have 2 sets of originals. (Saddle bags + Brackets) I was just going to fab up some like those, only make them fit the bigger Saddleman bags I got with...
I picked up some quick-release brackets froma vendor at Daytona two years ago. They work great. But I'd like to weld the sissy bar to them so the whole works...
I had automatically approved a new member who used the name bikerecenter. Turns out he's the one spamming the other sites, so I removed him this morning. -bj...
I had three requests to join the east , r.b. and for sale.... He aint joining... New profile as of today... no info.. no reply to my ?'s... Easy enough... ...
Has anybody gotten any closer to a new TRUE fix for our "oil puke" problems other then relocating breathers, etc.? #1430 doesn't burn any obvious oil and...
It is interesting that some of us have this problem and some of us don't. That suggests that it's either a hose routing problem (a kink or a dip in the hose)...
mine puked one time, then I spaced the rings accordingly, not lined up the way they came from the factory. I too run a oil cooler, and 5 qts of oil. no more...
I have never had an oil puke problem with #865. I changed the oil and filter tonight and drained 3 quarts and added 3 quarts. I also like to keep my oil level...
From what I have discovered working with #443, the factory piston ring gap is too wide. I installed The Total Seal piston rings and rerouted the crankcase...
Umm... One of my bikes has never puked yet (and is still routed to the air box) and the other just began puking after I replaced the oil filter with a Fram...
I have mine rerouted to the rear of the swing arm, it only pukes when engine is hot and under heavy loading as in going up a long grade or against strong head...
You probably have one of the engines assembled by an untrained worker who put the rings on with the gaps lined up! bj On Sun, 17 Oct 2004 12:51:11 -0500...
hmmmmm....perhaps the oill filter had insufficient flow rate.....hmmmm scavenge pump pumping greater volume than supply pump as a result...hmmmm....don't know...
My X was a puker almost from day 1. When I drove the bike home from the dealer back in Dec '99, I checked the oil before my next ride and saw that the oil was...
The idea of having to pull the engine apart is not real encouraging but I agree it appears to be blow by as mine only dribbles when under high speed stress....
...there's no guarantee that the assembly line workers ever were high school shop students. I suspect it happens more often in later production engines when...
#443 ring alignment was fine, but the ring gap was twice what it should have been. Keeping from upping the compresion ratio (higher the compresion = more...
I'm considering that, but with my 6500 rpm rev limit (which I hope to increase to 7000 before I quit), I really think I need forged or hypereutectic...
