I've done 1040 miles in a day on my R. Any bike can break down regardless of year. Ride it!!
I'm knocking on 100,000 miles on my '85 R. I put 13,000 on it the first 6 months I had it. It had 0 when I picked it up new.
The R heads are larger than the F's. The R motor will go in a 1000F frame but just barely. The rear head really wants to hit against the left side...
My R and the 3 guy's that I ride with who have R's are cold blooded. Won't start in the cold without choke. It's been that way since June 12th,...
Very nice. The seat cowl really does it for me.
When you say skip, do you mean misfire or it pops out of gear? False neutral is different from clutch slippage or misfire. Try to be more specific...
I'm sure. We're all just trying to give advice based on photos and brief descriptions.
Bingo. Now that the guess work is done...is the tab bottoming out on the bracket slot? If so, you need to shorten it. Is the tab too wide for the...
The key to comfy butt is distribution not just more foam. It looks like you have more of a crown in the middle. That's a ride breaker for sure....
Yes, install everything the way you normally would except don't have the bracket locked onto the swingarm tab. Align the wheel with the marks....
Wow, that is a real shame. I'm sure you are just sick over it. I sold my old Isuzu Trooper to a guy in GA. The body was mint but the tranny was on...
To my eye, it looks like the bracket on Jamie's set up is farther from the wheel. If you both have the exact same spacer in there, I would suspect...
Make a template out of thin plastic. Tape it to the fairing and cut out the opening, then file it to the edge of the template. I think adding the...
I've got 100k miles and 25 years on my original pump. Don't be afraid of a used one if the price is right. If you go gravity, use a sintered filter.
Looks good. Lucky man!
Glad to see things moving along. Did you throw out the upper already? I need one for some mock up work. If so, let me know. Gladly pay shipping....
Thanks! It's been a trip.
There is plenty of air coming into the vent below the wind screen. The small vent that is below the dual headlight wasn't doing much IMO,...
I got a little more body work done today. I trimmed the seat to follow the frame more. Before it hung down on the frame at the bottom and I just...
This picture is quite telling. We know those gouges are not indicative of Jamie's work. I doubt it could have happened by spinning the wheel by...
