I am really frustrated, are carbs so difficult to deal with or am I having the I.Q of a house plant ??? Here's my story, my bike was never running as should and recently it backfired so I decided to take the carbs off for the zillionth time :) I made sure that carb cleaner would go in every...

Put new pads on the front. Thought job was complete until I picked up the old pads. They had a thin stainless steel plate snapped onto each pad. Well I am guessing I should have put them on the new pads. For those that know of such things, should I redo and put the ss plate on the new pads...

Just got my carbs back from Dannymax, they were like new when I opened up the box. I installed and syncronized them, and what a difference this makes! way more power. Danny kept me well informed as to progress and what he found in my carbs, he was also happy to answer any questions I had...

Heres what I did all weekend first here are the before pictures I used Eastwoods engine paint it was $44 dollars on ebay with shipping. I went with this over Rustoleum of VHT because of the hopes that it lives up the the name of chip resistant I have in the one picture an airbrush I was...

So I'm in the process of building my vmax and monday we are starting the paint. Planning on doing red race stripes from front to rear render with realistic flames in the middle of the faux tank engulfing this image. Colors will be red , black and Chrome to go along with the 06 vmax. Before I...

Today I masked off areas with blue masking tape and used Rustoleum 500 degree black spray paint to paint my faded out vmax engine. I will post pictures tomorrow but I can tell you this paint is pretty much a perfect match. It has made a world of difference in the look of the vmax engine. I...

Well today I was instructed that I might (95% sure) be transfered to another job :bang head: We are not talking about a month or so notice. We are talking "pack your crap" I am not happy to be away from home anyways and where I am at. However where I am is not as bad as where they are getting...

Yes yes the title makes me cringe thinking about how easy and how bad this could turn out. Anyhow part of what I am wanting to do is repaint my engine. Right now it has parts where the paint has flaked off, it almost looks like there is two different coats, ect ect. Bottom line is it needs...

More of a two part question. I am having an internal debate. Kind of far out bit one thing I plan is to paint my bike. Black with a white racing strip, or stripes... I haven't decided exactly what the pattern yet. The big question is flat black and white vs the polished look. The second part...

Well for a few of you know that I travel working industrial construction jobs for the same company. when I started back in 96' I was a young kid , but had some skill and tools. The tool thing is a rarity for newbies. Anyways years past and for about the last 8 years this one boss has been...

So I just bought a used 2002 vmax. I was looking over the book and noticed you could add air to the front forks. Pull the cap off and look what I found. Is this a common issue? Should I try ordering the shrader core?

so i wont be around as much anymore. working 9 hour shifts 6 days a week an hour away from where i live. what will i do with the money :O

Hi guys, Not related to motorcycles at all, but I hope you won't mind much :) I'm searching occasionally for English Teacher home based who could be interested to give lessons from home. The location doesn't matter much (US, Canada, Europe, etc) since it's a distance training using video...

So I work with a guy who is pretty artistic. He does characitures for people who are leaving. Air brushes shirts hats etc. He also likes drawing comice book characters etc.Ive seen some pretty cool work of his. A couple years ago he had offered to paint my previous bike which was a POS and I...

From ebay germany here Matter of taste I guess, but it's really an amazing job IMO Translation here

My job is so ******* unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with: First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is...

Wanted to put up before/after pics of my wife's first foray into the DIY mod world. She painted her windscreen on her FZ6.:biglaugh: Those of you who met Steph at Sportbike Rally will remember her "My bike will always be stock" stance......that has definately changed.
