I've never heard anything about the rims being different. I assumed the only difference was in the tires internal construction. I'll have to look...
Is it okay to mix and match tire types? For example, use a bias up front and a radial in back. I vaguely remember something about not mixing...
I was just rereading this thread and I do need to replace my tires. I have Macadams on it front and rear which is bias ply. I've seen some...
Just an update, before I could dive in and replace any transmission parts my engine spun a bearing. Thanks PO. :mad: Anyway, I swapped a nicer...
Well, it's been a month. I got my replacement engine shipped in and I just finished the install. It's running like a champ now. [IMG] On a...
Capt, are you saying there is a band or o-ring of some kind holding the stock sight glass in place? I have an 86 vfr700, do you think it uses...

I regret to say I'm not familiar with Sams. I tried all the big established places around and after hours and hours of searching these places, no...
Just an update, I decided not to sell the bike for parts and instead get a replacement motor. I found what looks like a good one in Florida. Only...

I got the pan off and am trying to get the oil pump out of the way to see the left side cylinders. The 2 rods on the right side look "OK" just by...
What if another bearing is on it's way out? Plus it needs stiffer front springs, a rear shock rebuild and revalve, 17" wheel swap, cartrige...
I'm wondering if a rod bearing can be replaced (assuming it needs it) from the bottom without pulling the engine? They do it all the time on big...
Is it that obvious? I want to live in denial, say it ain't so. :sad: I've got some days off soon, so I'll confirm it. What are these bikes...
