My experiences with plastic cements is that they're a chemical weld that melts the two surfaces into each other. PVC pipe, ABS pipe, polystyrene...
That's kinda my thought. The 700 has great torque, but isn't so likely to get you into trouble as the race-replica 600s are. It's not "docile",...
Do some of the cartridge forks split the damping directions in different sides? I guess really all the dampers rod forks do is provide symmetric...
You know those hose clamps that you need to use pliers with? The ones that invariably twist, and the pliers snap shut, pinching your...
SC-1200A: I've owned this charger for 5-10 years at this point, and it's saved my bacon (or rather, batteries), enough times that I figured I...
I've seen lots of options for gluing ABS body panels back togther, but I've never seen anyone mention ABS pipe cement (for the black ABS drain...
IIRC, the reason anti-dive was only on one side is that one fork handles compression damping, and the other fork handles rebound damping. Since...
After filling up the battery with distilled water (it was nearly bone dry) and about a day of love from my favorite battery charger (Schumacher's...
mvxwinn: I'm not looking to part it out, yet... this weekend I think I'll swap some stuff to my bike, but for now I'm going to keep it in...
Yeah, I think I'm going to swap some parts around, and then see if I can find someone that wants it as a running bike. I hate destroying running...
I was thinking about that, but honestly, if I was going to do a weekend racer, I'd end up doing so much upgrade work on it.... might as well...
yeah, yeah yeah., hold on. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Not a pretty bike, but a functional one.
An old co-worker of mine was going to take his old (and in rough condition) '86 VFR700fII to the boneyard. It's now in my garage. It probably...
But those multiple-lane highway onramps get a little exciting when you hit the limiter in first (and second...). Bit more pucker than I like in...
It works well for me, with modest loads. The downward forces are carried by the links that attach at the frame turn signal mounts and the links...
an Aerostitch would be less dorky than the blue power-ranger suit I have now... :) Thanks for the notes on your experiences with black and white...
having looked at the FactoryPro website, I've got a fair bit of respect for them. They appear to be no-nonsense "what really works" types. As an...
Don't worry, my bike only looks clean because it's always been garaged, and I'm good with a camera and picking the "good" side of things. The...
And for those that aren't familiar with the suits, they're cordura 500 with ballistic nylon in over the armor and in other high-abrasion areas:...
The one-piece aerostitches are track-legal. An ex-coworker of mine biffed it at Laguna Seca at 120mph in a one-piece. He was in better shape...
