You can buy one that is too long, even a generic one, as long as it has the rubber insert to hold the plug. Cut it to the perfect length and have...
Unless you have the radiator and tank off, the plug wrench out of the tool kit is the best choice. You might have to get an 1/8 turn, flip the...
This ∆ So much. There is ZERO gaskets in a fuel system that takes silicone.
Left work a little early and dropped down in the Snohomish Valley for an after work rip before the rains come. [ATTACH]
Do the clamps for the carb boots have limiting collars? [ATTACH] If so, over time the clamps can change enough that even if tightened all the...
No. I find it useful to install them correctly, and without damaging them. You have not done at least one of those two things. Sorry to be the...

Looking good! In my experiences, typically a lean condition on the idle circuit will exhibit a hanging idle. Or one that wants to creep up after...
The T/S housing should be a classic ABS. I have used my favorite 2 part plastic welder epoxy on one with excellent results. Get some thin ABS...
CBR wheels and a full Kerker. For a few hundred dollars it might have some real wheel swap hardware and a decent period exhaust.
FINALLY fucking found it... [ATTACH] There is a comment on the pic by CornerCarver on the VFRD site that they are Lockhart-Philips....
Don't think anyone was snickering. They are great little bikes, and the 1990 with the upgraded front brake and 17" wheel, and wider rear wheel,...
I think this was up for sale last year? Something seems really familiar about it. Looks like a pretty nice example.
If somebody posts up pics of their bike, whether they just got it or have had it a while, I don't shit on them. They have a bike that they like...
