Hi folks. I'm still alive. I did the thing again where I stop riding the bikes for a couple years while another project is in the way. This time...
Went for a ride yesterday after bleeding the rear brake and installing new front turn signals. The bike feels nice, much lighter than it did but...
Got the rear shock installed today but didn't get to test ride. It was actually pretty easy! The fork tines clear but I did need to mill a little...
Did some milling to the shock modification parts. Drilled the holes and brought the inside of the fork to 40mm apart. [IMG] [IMG] Not sure if I...
Hey Y'all. Got back on the bike today. I left it sitting all winter and it cranked for 30 seconds and started this weekend. Very pleased about...
Howdy all. Selling some parts that I have duplicates of or otherwise don't need. CBR600F3 Front and rear wheels in good shape, in need of paint....
Congrats Jim! I'm glad the first ride went well. You've sure earned it!

Got a few minutes to work on the bike yesterday. The clipped wires were in fact just inserted into the terminals for the radiator sensor. Someone...
I think you're right, but at some point someone cut the switch out and left those wires. I'll take a close look on Monday.
I just discovered them recently and they look to have been added at some point then cut off. I've read there are supposed to only be two wires to...
I'm going to try really hard to follow this advice but I make no promises. I did spray the boots with starter fluid to check for leaks and got...
I did give them a good cleaning when I had them out, but I didn't take them off the "plenum" or whatever you might call the aluminum piece the...
I wonder if I can correct the rotation of the carb boots just by spinning them with the clamps loose. If not it's not such a big deal to get them...
Thanks for the link, I'm starting to get it now. I had thought that the sealing surface for the drive sprocket was what is in the way but I...
Here are a couple pics, you can maybe see the left boot in both pics looks a little more obtuse than 45* [IMG] [IMG]
Hi folks. jstehman I'm not sure what you mean by "cut a slot" but I think I'm gonna just grind the whole thing off with a die grinder since I...
Funny, I read through that thread last night and was disappointed that the pics were missing. I think I get what to do though. Not looking...
[IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Sad times. Looks like someone was already in there with some RTV or something, and already tried the high temp shrink wrap...
Found the sleeves on ebay, it even seems like someone is making new ones out of stainless but I don't want to pay $22 to ship them from Germany....
