A guy on Do the Don site says the muffler bearing fix is not necessary. Im going with pods too.

LMFAO at the replies, I think we all needed this laugh

I want to ask for advice, but never take it. I like to show off, well because everyone does. Im rich (not really but that's what I say on the web) and Im very important (not really that's why I have ...

The PITA factor is highly motivating to do the job correctly the first time! And then to run the bike frequently or drain carbs. I will add that while the Mike Nixon book is great, there is a free al ...

FYI, Spiegler offers a "fat" grommet that will install into the stock clips on the fender or rear brake torque rod.

They need to be installed on the lines at the time of assembly. One for ...

I have bought several sets of spiegler lines from Tom. Tom suggested I try the vintage rubber style. It’s a ver good facsimile for the old rubber lines. Here is a comparison of the vintage rubber and ...

Welcome, and I know what you mean. I've been on a few other sites and the community here is the most knowledgeable and helpful that I have encountered.

I think CL is a tough place to sell a bike of that high caliber. Ebay will give you millions of eyeballs on an ad, many of whom will not hesitate for a second to pay to ship it. Ive sold multiple bi ...

Red bike sold today to a friend who jumped on it after a 15 minute ride. Another beauty and solid as a rock mechanically by J. R.

Good you sold the red one, I could see some rust inside the fins o ...

Both bikes run without a carb clean, that's like winning the lottery! Side panels a bit tough to come buy, but you can buy unpainted new ones on ebay if you feel like painting. Exact match decals av ...

JT - and others.

Yeah, this is a honest migraine...but that VT title service does look promising. Only thing I'm seeing is that I'll have to get the bike's VIN certified by a VT official. I'm prett ...

I'm pretty sure you can register it in VT via mail, at least you could a few years ago. Its common among the off-road motorcycle crew to work that angle.

Surprised MA does not have some "lo ...

You need to resize them to under 1024 pixels on a side, unfortunately the forum software does not do this for you.

Or keep a really old phone around from 2005 or so for your photos. Confused

Ok thank ...

Any ideas - Ive copied the photobucket link, which has never been an issue.

I had the same problems. Started when I tried to reply to a WOWDAD thread. Got a Raven nuke screen and then poof.

Its a miracle...they found my parts.

you miss him, don't you?

Seems like a lot of work, I have always used a drift to tap them out. Either way they will come out ruined.

When you go to put the new ones in use a threaded rod with some fender washers to pull t ...

So Ive been waiting for about a month on parts that were in for re-chrome, just some small bits and exhaust flanges. Ive used these guys in the past. I go to call to see how they are coming and no o ...

the original may have faded over time, leave it as is!

Nope, those color wings are from another bike, like a Magna. I would fix it, as I imagine that the extra cost is not much compared to what yo ...

Yup I did it. ORANGE OVERSPRAY

Believe it or not, I ordered them from Amazon.

That does seem low. I cant find the website anymore but there used to be some parts sellers that had microfiche with the serial number ranges and with a little math you could tell how many were made.

For the second time in several weeks, I removed and re-installed the carb on my v65 magna...which to do properly requires draining coolant and removing the radiator as well.

Few weeks ago I pulled ...

So

as with so many things, as i get older, this one goes into the "just the way it is file". I was going to mention the " who gives a shit" file but thought it might be r ...

I'm not smart enough to understand. I could see if the two plates moved, but the one I have just appears to be two plates riveted together with a small spacer. Maybe they flex in some way I cant see ...

Curious if anyone knows the engineering reason behind the double plate. If it was just a spacing thing, seems they could have just had a thinner overall clutch pack.

Having been burned by strategic photos, I understand your pain. The only defense I would give the seller is perhaps he did not realize wire wheeled chrome is effectively junk, but certainly no reason ...

That a very good price for a re-chrome of chain guard, and sounds like you don't have to wait 3 months to get your parts back.
