metal

I know...I know..buy new ones...they are cheap and you don't take any risk's... But googling this topic returns a lot of people that are actually reusing them without any problems on cars. They just use some copper spray on both sides of the gasket!? Of course that both of the...

Basically I've been given free and basically unlimited access to a 3D metal printer and can make whatever I want out of aluminum, as long as it's within 28x28x36cm. It's ideal for making things that can't be produced through typical machining. Any sweet I deas for what I should make? I was...

Just further proof that if left to my own devices I will putter around the garage until I run out of beer, lol. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and it must flow a TON more air than stock because now the stock jetting doesn't want to cooperate :rofl_200:

Hi, I am looking for the metal part of the rear subfender that the license plate mounts to. Thanks, Kevin

Back in October or November, I called Kosman about widening the front wheel on my 1st gen. I was told that Kosman didn't do it any more and was referred to a guy named Charlie Sullivan. He was kind of hard to get ahold of but I finally spoke to him in early January and he referred me to a guy...

I'd like to paint the bottom of my forks on my 85 Max. Anyone know off the top of their head what kind of metal the bottom section of the forks are made of? Would it be aluminum by chance? I'm aware of the different methods used to prep various metals for paint, but I haven't stripped the...

Not sure where to put this and can't find an answer elsewhere.. The metal plate bolted under the rear fender: Is this 100% necessary? I don't see a great purpose for it and I am considering deleting it. Please advise me if I am missing something and it is in my best interest to keep it...

Anyone got one of these they could part with? I guess it fell off somewhere down the road.

In the process of doing the dummy tank and scoops, but as we all know the front and rear fenders are plastic!:bang head: I know there are hundreds of sites that sell aftermarket fenders but none of them are metal. Are the fenders off an eairlier model steel, or possibly a different bike I could...

Well I went out & lifted the head off the 2005 Motor today just to take a peek. The guy told me it was junk & was not lying. The head is nice & trashed & rod has a nice bend. Prety fonny to look in there & all thats on the rod is the piston pin the whole piston is gone scattered thru the engine...

One had a good laugh at my experimenting with PVC Turn Downs among other things a few weeks back. A good number of you came to my rescue. It was an experiment and was never intended to be permanent. The Wild Ass'd Skull, Top Cover however will eventually become a reality, As It Is...:rofl_200...

Looks metal but sounds like plastic I have a 1990 was wanting to know I was going to polish it if it was aluminium any one know and if it is what's the best stuff to use

Thanks for looking in - I'm trying to fix a mildly rusted tank the easiest way?....and possibly the least expensive way? How about Metal Rescue for $25...has anyone had good experience w/ that? I've seen Por15 and Caswell etc but reluntant to put a sealer in which could cause problems itself...

I was working at fixing a Stator Cover Leak on my 89. I had all the gasket removed and was using compressed air to blow the remnants out before installing a new gasket. This shiny stainless steel, piece of metal came flying out during the process of blowing the crap out of the cover. Anybody...

I know you don't want to do it with the diaphrams for the slides and just clean the needle and the coasting enrichener you just clean the metal on it as well, and obviously the o-rings you wouldn't want to either. But what about the rest of the metal parts, like jets and the such? The carbs...

What kind of metal are the flat sides of the carbs made out of? I'm assuming that like most die cast pieces, they're some form of pot metal. Of course, I cleaned one of mine very abrasively, removing any coating that might have been on there. It looked great for about 30 minutes, and now it...

hey all. do i take the thin metal backing that has a 'front only' sticker on it off of the front stock pads and put it on the new ebc HH pads or leave it off? thanks!

Ok so i have a question here and some reasoning behind it: A. Question: Who here (i know sean and definitely others) has seen a rear vmax wheel completely stripped down? and can remember which (if any) bolt holes go straight thru into the hub (dust cover screws or rotor screws perhaps?) B...

:ummm:What happened to the heavy metal page style:confused2: That format was awesome!
