Next issue... It's running quite well now. To a point. In light of the diaphragm failure and fuel drooling out of the vent nipple, I did install...
Say... would that mean that I could, as a temporary fix to get on the road, just connect a hose from the vacuum nipple to the vent nipple and go...
I may do that, although I don't have the habit, never having had troubles with those systems in the past, including several bikes run past 100K:...
Looks like I got it. Finally. Had to go back over a couple of assembly errors, then it fired up right nicely. Sure is a different motorcycle when...
Carbs.... why does it always have to be carbs? Indeed, the float on #2 was stuck upwards and the cylinder was starving. Now, for some reason,...

I've just gotten my "barn find" '86 VF500F going. It had been sitting in a fellow's garage for what I guess would be four to ten years. The...

Meanwhile, my next step towards getting the bars back and higher was to Ebay-order a set of used ST1100 throttle cables, which appear to be a...
On top of the excellent post about the Webike-sourced Hurricane "Police" handlebar conversion kit, here's what I've started with on my '00. I have...
Here's what I did with mine. The flasher is a different generic from Amazon, but amazingly (pun intended) the power wires' polarity was reversed....

This '00 wound up on my trailer and followed me home. A couple of mods and maintenance items so far on Day Two. Haven't had a Honda in quite a...
