Yup...it's obvious - once all the timing fluid is drained from the rear torque impeller, the turn signals should work fine. :BigGrin:

well, yes.... but only if you hold your mouth just right. :swoon:

Well...yeah, but it still seems like too many steps. I don't see the need to remove the valve covers, or cams. Can't you just pour the seals into the crankcase? Won't they find their way to the valve stems themselves, without going thru all that extra stuff? C'mon guys...this ain't rocket science, fer pete's sake.... :doh:

Pffft! Sure the seals will circulate through the forks fine, but if you don't remove the headlight they will get stuck in the clutch cable. Even I know that. oh2: Oh and the Clymer's manual clearly states you have to remove the rear wheel first.

if manuals were written by aussiegold .....they would make sense.....his videos are the best on the web for motor work ...in my opinion....yep hard to argue with aussiegold work and videos ...

Have to agree with Caveman Joe about Randak, lots of great info there!!! :builder: All the parts that i purchased from him, are top shelf. :yes: Love using car oil spin on oil filters instead of the stock ones, & his fuel filters are on ALL my bikes. :thank_you:

yup, all true and more positive things can be said about randikk and his business. the rather saddest thing to come from this thread
is that randikk posted a thread on another site , and at the risk of getting personal, the purpose of this thread seemed to be to seek some kind of validation or endorsement. sad really, . oh well. :fiddle:

 

[joedrum]

seen the other thread too .....i could care less about some who think randakk is all that ...there is a slant in his advice on some things ..that totally out of the common sense of machanics ...it personal favor ..to the point he and his groupies go after others who try to cater to the oldwing world ...this part is simply wrong and he should be the last one to get offended from the backlash of doing such stuff ...plain and simple to me ...if your going to dish it out....... take it too sheesh .....to me i could care less ..ive gone way by randakk and his way of looking at things .....im not impressed ....for him to go after the single builds witch are in reality a super set up and competes with stock carbs with all the advantages of being in the shelter like stock carbs and no discounts the many parts of the stock set up that totally has no low end torque...with carb that has but a few moving parts dosnt need to be sync and certainly expands the torque range from idle to red line .....i cant respect his carb knowledge in the light of all these yrs he not seen the huge benefit the center weber or whatever over the stock and weber duals deals he pushes ...id like to find one of those bikes to turn hooch on ... im very confident it would flat out stomp it .....

i just got back from a trip that lasted 2 plus months ...put in 1000s of miles ....and the hooch bike is one smooth wing with power like a crotch rocket ....to me and others it is better than anything ive seen at the randakk site.....if im going to put someone on a pedestal of the oldwing world ..witch i dont i think its silly it the c5 people and there products and there thick skin ..to take the abuse from the oldwing world by many randakktites ...simply in all the yrs of oldwings this is the best product ever made for them period....not a special o ring and tech info and opinions ....i also notice randakks come to this site everytime someone post in this thread LOL...thought id keep the thread going ... and to go after aussie ...please give me a break .... this guy like others also give his all to the oldwing world ...me too id like to think and i dont take second seat to anyone by just getting up and let the popular guy have it ...either do it with your hands cause the mouth gets nothing in my book.....gee randakk what did think ..no one can pass you ...sheesh there always a bigger dog or a little dog that knows just how to take giant down ....it obvious randakks is a merchant first ..trying gets right to stuff he has no original input in like jetting rights on dual webers what a joke...so to me anyone who feels that way gets not much consideration from me personally ...but he has the right to think whatever he wants and im glad he vocal about it ...others have the same right ..i get bashed all the time ...but my skin is thick and i like center mounted single carb setups as they perform better than other set ups per input of dollars ...but im ok with others who think stock is there way ...it there right ....there is just to many experts on the web ..that know something dont work and have 0 time in there words of so call expertise...this is huge problem ...here at classic we like to try all things and do ...so in no way will randakks followers and classicgoldwings will ever walk in step ...this forum was started by someone who could get no real info help on 1100s ....at the time they were considered illigitimate oldwings and not 1000s ....LOL ...since then we have gathered so much info and debunked all kinds of myths of ...it wont work ... doers do mouths talk ..plain and simple .....rock on classic is what i say :builder:
