Snowed here yesterday. It didn't stick though...
So I took my bike for a little ride today. First ride since I bought it, (bike didn't run, and had been sitting 10 years). Anyway. The throttle...
I dunno? I could see my son standing behind the bike with one factory mirror.
So I was decided to toss my drag bars on just to get an idea of what my bike might look like when I get farther along. The headlight, and gauges...
I just think he did it so he didn't have to rejet when he installed the pods.. lol I have been doing some thinking, and research. I'm going to fab...
No, he had them jammed in the boot of the pods. Guys who snowmobile in high altitudes use them to avoid leaning out on their decent. Putting them...
Wow.. That was a great read, and very informative! I have pods on my bike, they were on it when I bought it. It had "dial a jets" jammed into the...
Touche!
So here's a dumb question? What is the smallest tire that will fit a 19 inch rim? This bike has 100/90 up front, and 130/90 out back. I was hoping...
Interesting..
Lol.. That kinda cracked me up!
You know it bud!! lol
I was told using a magnet on them is a major no-no.. That the metal their made of is easily magnetized.
Lol.. The lawnmower can sit in the snow. I have more important things to keep in there. Mines insulated, and is my workshop.. It's lame, but...
At least you have a garage to work in threw the winter! I have a 10x10 shed. But I'll make it work for me.. lol
Their prices aren't to bad.. [IMG]
T That would be slick! Len has them to, and a good selection.. But wants $11 a jet. Then with shipping, and duty.. 2 sets of jets would be $100!!
Not really no. It's the currency exchange that usually gets a guy..
I thought about it. But it's hard to get the shim out cause you have to hold the keeper ring down while doing it with one hand. I've seen it...
They don't ship to Canada.
I found this site looking for info on jetting. Now if only they weren't so damn expensive, or hard to find.. :/
I need the tool to hold the lifter while you pull the shim. Or I need to make one?
I know the carbs are synced by eye.. lol I need to borrow the tool to do them, but I'm gonna tear the whole bike down this winter anyway. I'll do...
It's been layed down. It's not bad though, the tank is a bit beat up, and it's missing the front signal lights. The bars are bent, and the exhaust...
Yep that's purdy!.. lol I live in Grande Prairie, it's a bit far to just rip to Coutts for jets.
So I thought I'd start a thread about my cheap 82' Maxim 750. I bought the bike a few weeks back for $340... I've fixed a few minor wiring issues,...
I didn't use that much.. The jets were pretty clean to start with. I just wanted to get the tarnish off.. But I boiled them after I was done to...
Did you make your own brackets? I was looking at the way they mount, it points them sideways.. lol The fact that the installation kit is...
I got them pretty clean today with an old toothbrush, and arm&hammer toothpaste. It worked like a hot damn! I cleaned my carbs really good...
I checked it out, his price on those coils isn't that bad. The ones we need for these bikes are the 3ohm ones. According to the dyna catalog,...
I have read about a few people running these coils on other forums. But info is sketchy at best... I'm curious which ones to use? They are way...
So the mikuni jets will fit a Hitachi, and the number sizes correspond?
They were old as dirt, and the cheap plastic ones from the 90's. Plus it only had 3, and the #1 carb was left out. (Not sure why it was left to...
I'm actually just looking to go up a couple of main sizes. This bike has aftermarket air filter pods, and the baffles cut out of the exhaust. It...
I believe his theory had a bit of merit. I could see if it was polished, a high gloss paint, or even clear coated. The smooth surface might...
Do you have a link?? I looked on Amazon, and Ebay.. I found nothing.
I did. They don't ship to Canada.
We'll that was my theory to. I'm gonna paint it anyway, and polish up some of the shiny parts. I have an aftermarket oil cooler to, so I'm not...
I'll look into those on Amazon. I was gonna buy them here, and no offense to the big guy on here. But that price is steep. As for the shiny...
So I had an argument with a friend of mine tonight over painting air cooled motors.. I have built several of off road machines, 2 & 4 stroke. I've...
I've used plastic food wrap, and masking tape in the past to protect parts. That's about the best you can do, and use extra caution.. lol
They aren't corroded though. I'm just a sucker for shiny stuff.. lol
Actually they kinda are $50 a set isn't that cheap. I'm mostly trying to save my 43 pilots. Might have to flip the bucks on new mains.
I'm just curious if anyone has a recipe to clean old tarnished jets up really nice? There was some scale on them. But vinegar, and baking soda got...
I'm stripping, and polishing the whole wheel, and then some.. Still not sure what color I'm gonna paint the bike. But it's gonna look shiny!.. lol
I'm already on it.. lol I might be the first, but it's not easy. Very time consuming! Will post pics.
Alright. I'm apparently full of dumb questions. But how does one find a members gallery?
I was told that you were in the know with polished wheels. Do you have any pics of what they look like finished, and on the bike?
I'll check it out. Thanx bud!
I'm just curious if any of you have taken the time to polish your stock wheels to a mirror finish... If so, how did it turn out?? I'm kind of a...
