    Water pump Dads 82 1100I WTB

    The best price I could find for your pump is at Western Honda at $118. Also, go here and buy this KP gasket set. With these two items, you'll have the basics for this job. While you're at it, I suggest you consider changing out your thermostat, hoses and having your radiator cleaned and...

    Route advice for my ride in August

    While riding down the coast highway in No. Cal., I highly recommend that you pause and stay overnight at the Ragged Point Inn and, the next day, take tour #1 of Hurst Castle. It's a 'not to be missed' piece of California history. While at the Ragged Point, take the (very steep) walk down the...

    seafoam /atf

    I don't agree. First, what is it that you're trying to do? You don't say. You said, "Will it (ATF) damage my engine"? Adding anything to your fuel will have consequences to your carbs and engine, both good or bad. Some additives have their benefits as they are specifically formulated to...

    Route advice for my ride in August

    Welcome from California. You haven't ridden since the 70's? Please sign up for an MSF course and complete it before you hit the road. While you're waiting for the class, buy and read, "Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well" by David L. Hough. You'll be glad you did.

    Two of the three things that can leak on a pump have been mentioned. The third is the crush washers under the bolts that hold the pump in place. So, you have a dilemma on your hands, don't you? If there's no 'side to side' play in that pump shaft, that means the large O ring and crush washers...
