We can do all of that... easy... if you see my lift thread... i just did fork oil on a honda cruiser... no difference on a sportbike. Seafoam... got some in the garage... always. cables... part of a normal service IMO Everybody that knows me... knows I always offer to help. As one of my chopper buddies expierenced this last week... its first come first serve. He was impatient on waiting for me to free up, tried to install some shit himself and f'ed up a bunch of shit... now I have to fix that crap too. oh well... Thanks... can't ask for much more on a sportbike site!! |

yeah i want to go through the bike a little bit this year.. its running good enough just want to take care of the clutch and throttle - both kind of important.. clutch is probably alright but i don't want to guess.. already did the brake pads and the rotors are good for another 100,000 miles as they hardly ever wear out on a bike.. just want to get the stainless lines for the consistency.. the rubber varies too much..

that's a statement you don't hear too often - loose parts on a chopper.. lol.. just starting the fucking thing will loosen every bolt.. surprised you didn't shake anything off on the shakedown run..

Shit I almost did Mud... after talking to a buddy with the same top motor mount (one of my new things)... it got red loctite on it... that bitch ain't coming loose again!!
So I pulled the tank and found another set of the special connectors had gone wrong... not sure what's up with that... installer error? The neighbor, Mr Sgt, said he thinks they must be prototype crap.. or somin like that. Either way... got some different spade connectors on there and it works again... |

ok so i may not understand your chopper addiction and i may sometimes make fun of you for my own amusement but let me just say Gasman - live the fucking dream pal. when you commit to something you fucking go big. you are a true american hero. we are going to ride and hang out this year. its been far too long.

AMEN Mud on all counts!! I usually go in full steam... that's the way I roll. Sence the chop has been done... I have been getting into firearms now. Had my CCW class today... it was really good and great info. Got my fingerprints, and passport photo Sun, then roll out to the Sherriff road patrol to file and pay out another $105.
Anyway... amen on getting together... I'll follow so you don't have to listen as much... but TRUST me... you'll hear me so much now that you won't even hear your bike running!! |
