    Carbon wrap or hydro dip

    Not sure what is "looking bad" about it but if the clear is chipping perhaps smoothing out the edges and clearing it again might work??? Just a thought

    Tire Machine Recommendations?

    Well I bought a lift and tire machine from Aston Technologies. BIG mistake! I have issues with both machines! Long story short in talking to them and emails they just deny there are any issues, argue and call me a liar. For the last month they have done nothing to fix these issues. They are just...

    Dilemma about selling my 1999 VMax with 5,000 miles on it.

    Usually people graduate in their early 20's. With you 81 you must have started "kids" late in life or you daughter got a young one. Who knows, maybe he's 62. Just got me thinking

    Why bother?

    The chopper is obviously yard art. Or a creation to kill his rotten stepson

    Looking for Advice for Changing Brake Fluid

    In all my vehicles I remove all the fluid from the reservoir once a year, or when it starts to discolor, and put in new. Except my drag race car. I've had the same DOT 5 in that for 20 years. I don't recall rebuilding a caliper or master cylinder on a vehicle I used. The one exceptions is I let...

    Tire Machine Recommendations?

    I usually try to buy used but tire machines tend to get the crap beat out of them in high volume shops by disgruntled employees

    Tire Machine Recommendations?

    Hi, I've got a small farm and would like to get a tire machine to change everything from motorcycle and 4 wheeler tires to 3500 Ram dually and equipment trailer tires. I currently have an old Coats 1010 that works for 15" car tires but not much else. I looked at some Hunter tire changers but...

    New Member In Need

    If possible. I would be tempted to fix the carb with some gas resistant epoxy at least enough to get it running and see if second gear works. Then either part it out or go for a fix-up and rebuilt carbs. You might find one carb but it might take a while. I can't imagine too many people are in...

    Looking to buy

    Luckily mine is not slipping out of second gear. I have missed a couple shifts but my bad. If I DID have a second gear problem would anything else break or wear if you just skipped second gear? If <$1000 gets me a 3000 mile vmax, with no second gear, I might have to look around.

    Speedometer invaded!

    You definitely have the correct game plan. If you go 0 - 100 fast enough the needle hitting Boris will be like a baseball bat hitting a grapefruit. If you get pulled over I'm sure explaining your problem will either get you a get out of jail free pass or a nice ride in a van with a white coat

    Speedometer invaded!

    Well, you could maybe take the speedo loose and shake it away from where it's at. I imagine it's dead and it might just fall to the bottom of the speedo where it would do no harm, maybe. A shot of staring fluid in the speedo would kill it if it's still alive and maybe also knock it loose...

    I am falling apart, if...

    I'm not quite sure I've seen anyone here brag more than you. For that matter on any forum. I'm not a psychiatrist but something is going on.

    Vmax MPG improvement

    I could see if the Float is set to allow too much gas in and it overflows into the engine or on the ground. Is there something else a float setting being off might do? I can't see how it would richen up the mix. I'm 100% not disagreeing but I just don't know.

    Changed battery

    I did the mod. over the weekend and installed the new battery. Went OK. Comments: - Boy the battery is a fight fit - I'm sure people complained before but whoever had the bright idea to put the coils over the battery???

    Changed battery

    I'm ready for a new battery and remembered this Gold Wing upgrade and wanted to take a look. Seems like http://www.morleysmuscle.com/how-tos/large-vmax-battery/ or for that fact http://www.morleysmuscle.com is not a thing anymore. Anyone have a link to this information or how to do the upgrade?

    Rebuild or engine swap?
