July 3, had a flat on the rear of the Roadstar. I was about 15 miles from home and 25 from my friends shop. We used AAA towing to get the bike to Tims shop. A day and a new Michelin tube later, I'm back up.
I went out to the garage yesterday afternoon, the damn rear tire is flat again.. I...
Hi all,
sorry I haven't been around much - still riding my Max and loving it just not as often as I'd like!
I have a question about the fuel pressure and especially the loss of it: I know that on a normal max, if it's left to sit for a few days, then upon switching the ignition back on there...
Ok, I am finally buttoning my '85 Vmax barnfind after extensive refurbishing of carbs, tank and wire connections ect. and this is another rubber part found in the tear down parts box.

Any ideas where it goes?

Wanted to do the COPS Mod. Got the COPs and the harness to mod but was wondering how folks are dealing the the rubber plug wire snubber that holds the plug wire firm. The COPs require a bigger hole. thought about just cutting it out but don't want to do trial and error on the only 4 I have...

- the rubber grommets/covers that go on the ends of the starter cable (both at starter and at starter relay, the ones that go on the battery + cable (both at battery and at starter relay) and the one that goes over the main ground wire at...
Hi all!
Okay, being the dolt that I sometimes am, I ruined (I mean, REALLY ruined) the rubber bushings at the bottoms of my Progressive rear shocks.
I am wondering if any of you know a way I can make my own or, failing that, who might make a strong replacement for those bushings.
Thanks...
While putting my ride back together I just pull out of the box this big rubber portector or shield, It looks like it goes up front by the CDI and neck? any ideas

Has anyone got those handy and in good shape? For the avoidance of doubt what I'm looking for is arrowed in the pic. If you have 'em pls let me know what you want for them inc. shipping to...
Hey, guys,
Does anyone have a source for the rubber plugs in the jet block other than the 5-dollar OEM's from the online sources? For that price I'll just single-point a brass plug and thread it into each one but it is more work than I want to do.
Thanx,
Bud

Do anyone know where from I can purchase rubber plugs for pilot mixture screw holes? Or do anyone know if iI can use some other manufacturers rubber plugs
Seems I see a lot of both. I know the Stainless Steel ones are more costly. When I used to off-road race we ALWAYS used rubber ones so that they'd flex instead of sheer off if you clipped a rock or something.
But we are talking about streetbikes here.
My wife just refinished her 1982...
