Weird. Can you compare engine numbers and see which part came out of a later unit?
STOP IT!!!! I know, I know. I've ridden plenty. I'd drive 10 hours for this bike. I'm looking at the envelope of cash that is ear-marked for...
Good progress. "Extra" parts are disconcerning to say the least. But I'm not worried. It's all either there and correct or it's not.
I KNOW I WANT IT!!!!!! I hate the idea of shipping bikes.
Looking good! You are correct. BUT, I've got a set of 32mm carbs that the vents go straight up and vent to the plenum. Without digging into...
Correct. I've got 2 sets of carbs on my bench right now. 84-85 will not play with 86.
Yeah... I typically try and avoid it too. idiot
Correct. The water pump in my 85 and the last one I put in the "new" RC26 engine were NASTY RUSTY. Cleaned them the best I could and they work...
I wouldn't fuck with one that is "working". They are not cheap to rebuild.
I meant what OD of the "circle" that lays in the race-track groove of the cover properly. I source viton o-rings for the float bowls on my bikes...
Hey... think you can measure the OD on the generic o-ring so I can source some?
Might be nice to know if the clean one is "good" too. But you have to remove the frame section to replace the water pump if it needs to be...
Water pump will be a o-ring. It will likely be hard, so be easy with it, they are NLA. I HondaBond mine back in with zero issues. You could...
I'd go Blue personally. I don't think there's anything in there that warrants Red. And if for some reason you need to backtrack a little, Blue...
Keep the 86 linkage if you want the extra ride height. 87 piece if not. It is the piece with 3 holes I am talking about. The "U" shaped piece...
If you want some more rear ride height, you can also keep your eye open for a nice low mileage '87 shock. They are 10mm longer than the 86 and...
If you plan on upgrading the shock, by all means at least do some Emulators up front. They do work pretty damn good.
Those needle bearing have such a small range of movement, they really don't go "bad" unless they have been sitting under water or something. I...
But speaking of plastic restorers, this shit is simply magic on normal plastic. I couldn't believe it. My ST1100 has a ton of plastic and this...
SM, the plastic is so porous, anything that "rejuvenates" will absorb and restore the look. Just like Straycat's HoneyGoo suggestion. A product...
