    Is it just me

    Of all the living things on this earth or further, the human is by far the most unreliable of witnesses.

    Is it just me

    When asked about life beyond the stars my Grand Dad said "A dog will chase his tail in hopes of catching it and when he finally does he is not aware that he caused the pain and reacts often in anger." I then said, Grand Dad! What does that have to do with life beyond the stars? He said, not a...

    Should overflowing gas drain thru vent hose? (Picture) Please verify. Thanks.

    overflow of fuel can be a compromised float, improper float adjustment (float tab), a worn/failed seal at the needle seat or debris at the needle seat. You can use a clear fuel line spliced onto the bowl drain hose, with the drain screw open to gauge the fuel height in the bowl in an attempt to...

    How long does it take to remove/install carbs?

    I find this surprising as reading many of your posts I took you for a tinker' that enjoys finding different ways to do things. If I had to guess I'd say your frustrated by the setback hence the sledge hammer. With the exception of my Harley, the Max is the easiest carb removal of many if have...

    in the crate ZX7-R 1992 goes for Big $$$

    CC size doesnt always mean fast, My Vulcan 2000 was only good for 120, gearing limited it. I've owned a VTX1800 as well, the ZX11 is much faster.

    My thinking is that no matter the cost or advancement in oil, it still becomes saturated with particulate and hydrocarbons. I use cheap conventional oil and change it often. my opinion is that clean cheap oil is better than expensive dirty oil and when you pay a premium for oil you tend to want...

    How many straps do you use?

    I inadvertently performed a strength test on a cheap harbor freight ratchet strap. I had it cinched across the front of my truck bed and forgot to tie the loose end. the loose end eventually got sucked in between the bed and the cab and found its way to my drive shaft at which point I heard a...

    Ugliest bike paint

    Every time I see any vehicle painted non-professionally in matte black, the first thing that comes to mind is that it is or was stolen. I think the color can be used to achieve a certain look but much like flames, eagles, spikes and "live to ride" emblems the entire blacked out thing has become...

    How many straps do you use?

    4 straps but 2 will do just fine, triple tree to side. The other 2 are always passenger pegs to side as backup incase a front strap breaks.
