    You can buy a "drop in" cartridge setup and a new shock from Maxton CHEAP, and have the best suspended Transalp out there for $1500-2000 all in, that looks stock

    FZR400 winter overhaul

    Brian: I gotta ask: Why aren't you running dead loss? That Shindengen Series RR is a god send, I use it on anything and everything. It'll do 1,2 or 3 phase, the new one is stronger than any motorcycle charging system I have found. If it has a shunt regulator, this reg/rec will work

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I'm waiting for a wrecked "new" Transalp... i figure the motor is a "drop in" to a RC31 (same "base" motor). I know a guy that's been working for years adapting bigger 4 valve heads and EFI to his RC31... this could have it done over a weekend.

    MacDoc's rides 2015 CB300 to 2018 MT03 to 2017 GS310 to 2014 CB500F.

    I ride "nakeds" and the wind isn't an issue till I hit 60-70mph. But i want to remind you that if you install a windscreen, to remove the wind forces from YOU, those wind forces are now pushing down on your front suspension... so your pre-load increases/sag decreases with speed, in a non linear...

    FZR400 winter overhaul

    Motorcycles ain't cheap. You can find that reg used, almost every bike manufacturer uses it. There are now two models, I don't remember the part numbers, but there is a pre Fukushima and post Fukushima (the company that makes the mosfets got washed away in the tsunami) part number. For our...

    Emotional and mental health aspects of aging

    Keep active, do stuff, BUT... try to learn new things. Learning exercises your brain, keeps it elastic. Learnt how to knit, do cross words, be a serial killer

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    The amperage ramps up and down, like a sine wave. So the arc melts, cools a bit, melts, cools a bit..... With out "pulse" to get that "roll of dimes" look, you lift and drop the torch to vary the heat, with pulse it does it all automatically, you just drag the torch across the metal. Ya' want a...

    Now that was slick.

    Yep, if the Palestinians would only submit to the genocide, there would be no reason for war. You're right, it's their OWN fault. When faced with the choices of: lie down and die or we'll kill you... I'd say the choice is obvious

    I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say there... but I'm pretty sure I disagree with the inference. Who remembers Mohammed Abu Al-Qumsan? His sad story made the news in August when he went to register the birth of his twin boys, only to return home home find his newborn twins, his wife and...

    Tire pressure gauges

    Yamaha, among others, played with "air suspension". Use air volume as a spring, use pressure to adjust preload (works GREAT on paper... sucks in practice) The Gold Wing iteration wasn't TOO bad, (IIRC) it would run 10-12psi, not SO bad (a pressure gauge like almost everything used to measure, is...
