me too! and yes they did. i think he was genuinely sorry for what he had done too. FU
thanks dave, i will keep that in mind if i decide to rebuild it. FU
last friday i was hit by a car changing lanes into me. https://flic.kr/s/aHskvM7p6T my bike took it worse than i did... FU
us guys didn't chase turbo away, pjb03 did, unfortunately. i for one would love to see how his project turned out. FU
just because hf rebuilt the carbs, doesn't mean they are properly tuned. did you sync the carbs after installation? FU
i have posted a cl ad for parts in the seattle area, just search maxim in the seattle cl and you will find it. or you can e mail me directly...
if i had a straight frame, even without a title, i would not cut it up (i.e. swap the head stock) to make a bike. if i had a frame with a title, i...
not likely, this bike looks to have less than 10k miles and is very original. FU
no, not in the least. yes i do have a mig welder and a a couple oxy acetylene torches, as well as a bunch of steel fitting and fabrication skills....
thanks but this bike is parts. i plan to tear it down and store most of it. if the frame weren't bent, i would put it back on the road, but it is...
looks like low beam to me. nice ride, i see you have a cider press. are you brewing some hard cider? the wife and i went to a cider pressing party...
judging from how well it runs, i would say they are fairly clean inside... [MEDIA] i decided to give it an oil change, since the level was above...
right after posting the op, i went out and removed the grab bar... [img]mmgrab bar by bruce blessing, on Flickr then i could easily get to the...
this came up on one of my daily searches on my local craigslist. sadly, the frame and forks are bent from a collision. it has also been sitting...
yeah, what k-moe said. post away. we have some great pics so far, let's keep them coming. FU
nice pic. what's a "bb"? FU
couple of nice looking bikes right there. FU
I love the first pic! to me, it is very scenic. it has a nice profile of your bike and what is, to me a great background. the second pic has none...
sorry matti, it's my galaxy s6. it has a 16mp camera that shoots 5312x2988 pixels. I wish the cellular part of the phone worked as well as the...
thanks matti, no photoshopping allowed, although that would be funny to see a dusty seca on the moon. k-moe, no dice buddy. I don't know which one...
this thread exists on adv and is a great thread, so I thought I would try to start one here and see what you guys can come up with. last weekend...
well I don't know about that. I do know that my access is limited, so I will only post up when I have something to post. FU
nope, no problem over at adv. this is only when I am logged in, (it took me ten minutes to navigate here to make this reply). if I log out I can...
earmachine; there are lots of tutorial vids on the tube of u. rooster; thanks I miss the forum, but I have trouble just navigating to make a...
the pics don't do it justice either, it looks way better in person. FU
I haven't done the wheel swap yet, but it is in the works. the 550 in the background is what's left of a parts bike I bought. FU
jayrodoh; thanks, it really makes a big difference in the overall look of the bike. the mufflers are aftermarket and look like jardines but they...
well here is the first pic. this forum is such a mess I cannot get the post to load the pics right. just getting to where I could post a new...
long time no see everyone. so I was forced to repair my maxim fuel tank, since the po used a slide hammer dent puller on it and made five holes....
one other thing, the early engines had the same charging and ignition systems as the 550. I am not sure what year it happened, but the charging...
yes and yes. if you can find out what jets the radian has, then you could conceivably fit the 550 carbs with the same size jets and it should...
they will, but they won't have the proper jets. and you will likely burn down your new engine faster than the last two. FU
I sold my radian engine to a guy who had an fj600. he said number 4 cyl blew the whole bottom corner off the case on his fj. but in answer to your...
I remember your hello post a year or so ago. glad to see a classic lookin' good. love that garage too! FU
so are you planning to be there this month? if so, look for this bike, I shouldn't be far away, and introduce yourself. I would love to meet you,...
cool beans! I am in south seattle and am planning to be at the backfire moto ride in this month. it would be great to connect with some local...
crap! that vid was supposed to be episode 3. where this guy fixes the toggle ignition switch and fuel cap. check out his other vids, especially...
I came across this vid while looking for something else, but it seemed like a suitable candidate... [MEDIA] FU
pm me and we can talk. FU
so I got lucky and picked up an almost complete radian today for parts. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] now I will be able to do the rear swing arm swap I...
what great timing! looks like your thread is gaining more traction. if the moderator wants to merge threads, I am good with that. FU
here's one. I just bought a '86 radian. it runs, but not well. [ATTACH] gee, I wonder what the problem could be? FU
your best bet would be to port and polish the head and regrind the cams for more lift and duration. FU
this is what I was looking for. it didn't initially occur to me that was the "delete" button. thanks all. FU
that's a great idea, making it breathe better to get more performance. initially, without checking specs or measuring engines, I think the...
you can use the swing arm from a 86 to 90 radian yx600. they have the duel shock mounts and should be a direct bolt in on the 550 frame. I am...
has anyone else had trouble accessing the forum? all weekend I have had long page load times, often resulting in blank pages or just getting the...
that guy has two of them. FU
the purpose of this thread is to chronicle some of the stupid repairs the previous owners did to our beloved bikes. I will start off with the use...
I had some time to tinker today, so I decided to see what I could do to fix my tank. I took it off and drained what little gas I had in it, and...
