Correct. The water pump in my 85 and the last one I put in the "new" RC26 engine were NASTY RUSTY. Cleaned them the best I could and they work...
I wouldn't fuck with one that is "working". They are not cheap to rebuild.
I meant what OD of the "circle" that lays in the race-track groove of the cover properly. I source viton o-rings for the float bowls on my bikes...
Hey... think you can measure the OD on the generic o-ring so I can source some?
Might be nice to know if the clean one is "good" too. But you have to remove the frame section to replace the water pump if it needs to be...
Water pump will be a o-ring. It will likely be hard, so be easy with it, they are NLA. I HondaBond mine back in with zero issues. You could...
I'd go Blue personally. I don't think there's anything in there that warrants Red. And if for some reason you need to backtrack a little, Blue...
Keep the 86 linkage if you want the extra ride height. 87 piece if not. It is the piece with 3 holes I am talking about. The "U" shaped piece...
If you want some more rear ride height, you can also keep your eye open for a nice low mileage '87 shock. They are 10mm longer than the 86 and...
If you plan on upgrading the shock, by all means at least do some Emulators up front. They do work pretty damn good.
Those needle bearing have such a small range of movement, they really don't go "bad" unless they have been sitting under water or something. I...
But speaking of plastic restorers, this shit is simply magic on normal plastic. I couldn't believe it. My ST1100 has a ton of plastic and this...
SM, the plastic is so porous, anything that "rejuvenates" will absorb and restore the look. Just like Straycat's HoneyGoo suggestion. A product...
Good ol Petroleum Jelly works pretty good. Let soak, repeat as needed.
That plastic doesn't "like" paint. It is very porous and just keeps absorbing it. Some Krylon Fusion might do a better job, but it's always...
Twist the knife...
Yeah, right choice. I wouldn't have gave him shit though due to the misrepresentation. I had a similar situation recently on a VFR (but not as...

Cool. I would KILL for that tank.
Bastard. Gonna get nicer down here in WA, but it's gonna be cold (relatively). Mid 40s. Friday afternoon looks nice, but is pretty much dark by...
