Would you be willing to sell an engine? Or even just a good block? After making the tuff decision to stop driving my 2 wheeler because of an ankle injury, I sold my 83 to a friend and promised to help go through her and get her back on the road. In the few years she sat in the dry corner of...

I have found many older systems to benefit the most from maxing out the amount of ram. seems more current programs are more memory hungry. win7 seems to manage the memory better but still needs plenty to run well. it sounds like your system is still in good shape. and if you built it, it probly...

Hi guys, I fight these things all the time. done this for many years. This particular BUG is not a new one. I'v found references to this "upsvirus" from 2008. This type of scam has been going on for a long time. This is a fraudulent attempt to infect your computer with some sort of malware...

very cool JP !!!!!!!

I have a K&N for my wing. its not a foam filter. more like cotton shaped like the paper filters. I have seen foam type filters too.. and I dont know if I would put the same oil on two differnt kinds of filters.

Thats cool Tory maybe we can ride back tuesday is my first day back to work so I dont have to leave till monday currently.

oh ya... and I finally got the bike in top shape ... have a new front tire on the way, should be here tuesday.... everything else is a go so far.

I need address also I'm gonna try to meet-up in Ohio along the route but need the addy just in case I head straight t for joes... wich is slightly closer for me. while we are on the subject are there any others coming from MI ? I'm central, and would feel much better riding with another bike...

my thought was this ..... use the 84 1200 ignition module on the 1100 pickups with an adjustable timing advance where the vacuum advance is now... to set the baseline ignition timing. looking for the 1200 module now. I have a nice big partsyard close by but cash is king around there :D anyway...

the reason I asked was because I was reading somewhere about a DIY programmer that might work on the 1200 ignition. I'm pretty sure I can get all the stuff to put a 1000 iggy on my 1100 ... just wondering about the vaccume advance? no vaccume advance on the 1000 just mechanical?

ok first I know this might not be the popular way to go, but bear with me... I noticed the 1200 has almost the same pickups and wireing, but with the advance unit mounted in differnt place. also no rubber diaphragm. and you can get (or make) programmable advance kits for the newer icm. anybody...

1 is kinda young but think I had my 3 year old on the bike with me. of course I was not in the road or even on pavement, and I didnt have a big bike... my dad road me on his bike... accidents happen. and I feel for the family. the guy has to live with this mistake and what the rest of the...

yesterday I found my vacuum gauges so today I gave her a balancing and tightened the handlebars... took her for a short ride to confirm the handlebar location.. next trip will be to the store for gas. also adjusted the carbs again... made them all even.. 1.5 turns from bottom.. and then set the...

I sure know your feeling joel, I hope I have also learned my lesson about buying aftermarket parts. now I have 2 honda oem head gaskets. and hopefully I dont have to tear her down again till its time to do full rebuild. not to hijack the thread but I am amaized by what I found when I pulled...
