Some buried in the regulations, that USED to be The Auto Pact, there are tables that list the amount of content AND value required to be "made in USA", and there are parts that HAVE to be made in the US (the engine casings must be cast in the US and the frame has to be welded together in the...

So Syncrude or Inco can take billions in profit from Canadian resources, money that leaves the country ... and NOT pay taxes on it? But women should pay 13% tax on sanitary product Sounds like a plan

750: Upper: 26 x 48.5 x 15.2 Lower: 30 x 50 x 14.4 Gl: Upper: 26 x 47 x 15 Lower: 30 x 55 x 17

Oh yes they are. Keep an eye on the Frank Stronach case, there's going to heaps of "non disclosure", all in the name of "company secrets"... do we really think Stronach was sharing state secrets while (allegedly) sexually abusing his corporate underlings? i don't agree with ANY sort of NDA...

I don't see how changing the internal clearance on a bearing would change it's fit.

It'll work better if you don't

When you design a thing that uses bearings, you design it around off the shelf bearings. It's cheaper and easier, even for Honda. Bearings are very seldom the limiting factor in a machine.

Excuse me WHAT?? The difference from a c3 to a c4 is radial clearance, the gap between the balls/rollers and the races, and has the same ID and OD. A C3 has more than normal clearance and a C4 has more than C3. C2 is normal, C1 is less than normal. (Don't change clearance unless you know what...

What they USED to do was send out a plane when they were doing a speed reduction campaign on a stretch of road, with a dozen cars spread up and down the road. the plane spots speeders and "sics" a car on them. The police WANT the car to catch the speeder, so the plane sics the car on the...

I am of the opinion that if you're going to be more than a casual rider, you should know what your suspension does, how it does it and why it does it... and what you can change. I think it's funny that the average rider buys a bike and immediately slaps a pipe on it and generally "hops up" the...

... about 1/12 the cost of a helicopter... with 99% of the functionality, and that's just operational costs.

Vortex gas cap? Yeah... I can't figure out how they make them so they don't vent air, but DO leak gas.

No special tools required... BUT don't go full mental on trying to remove them. Be as gentle as possible. If you cant/twist the bearing in the hole, get it slightly sideways, you ruin the hole. Tapa tapa tapa... NOT smash it till it falls out. NEVER touch a bearing with a hammer or impact gun if...

What shock? Ohlins? If so, you're paying for the name. Have you looked at Maxton? If you go down to the starting grid at the Manx GP (IOM), there are more bikes on Maxton suspension than all others combined AND the pound is in the toilet so the parts are cheaper out of England. Maxton's after...

Yes https://ntn.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/BearingQuickReferenceGuide-EN-Web.pdf There are VERY few "OEM" (non standard) bearings... in the 50 years I have been screwing around with mechanical stuff I have never met a "OEM" bearing, that is not an off the shelf size. Non standard bearings...

Ok.. I guess I phrased that wrong. There's a few charges in the HTA that can get you jail time on CONVICTION... that's not what Mr. Greyghost is after, he want's anyone that is charged with drive while disqualified to face a reverse onus bail hearing. That ain't gonna happen.

There's nothing in the HTA that will put you in jail. The HTA doesn't have the power, jail is for criminals, not bad drivers. If your bad driving reaches the point of criminality, they charge you with criminal charges and you go to jail. Let's not forget the VAST majority of HTA charges are...

A license suspension by the HTA is not really actionable, so they charge him with more HTA and his driving privileges are suspended... NOW he has a court order to not drive, and if he gets caught again he goes to jail... something you can't do with the HTA, if he drives again he can be charged...

There are many ways us mere mortals can tell if a bearing is bad, but we have no way to tell if a bearing is GOOD. My rule of thumb is if you're holding a bearing, replace it, bearings are cheap. If your bearing is showing ANY signs that it is bad, it means the bearing is totally hooped. I went...

The chinese do that... the rest of the world looks down on them for it. Contrary to a whole bunch of religious laws, in a bunch of different religions... generally frowned upon.
