Whenever there is a catastrophic event, it makes me realize that I have never really had a bad day.
My old CB1100F also has an automotive-style alternator/charging system, and I suppose that an automotive regulator could be adapted. But a...
An automotive regulator won't work. Most motorcycles use a permanent magnet charging system, and automotive systems have a "switchable" field,...
Just as a quick follow-up, carburetor diameter measurement seems to have two popular schools of thought; it's either the venturi diameter or the...
Yep. That's called the "venturi", BTW.
Paint thinner works pretty well on tar splatter, and WD40 does a decent job on oily or greasy stuff. I generally use Protect All afterwards to...

^^ What havcar said. If you're handy with a wrench, you can do the service work yourself with the aid of a shop manual. The brakes have a bleeding...
No pictures of my pony tail or '68 Chevelle...
What mine did might be a hint at something; if started cold and allowed to warm up for 3 or 4 minutes, all was well. If it was turned off within...
If I was competitively campaigning anything, internal combustion or otherwise, I'd keep ALL my information close; I've been burned too often...
The only arguement I have is that a forum is for sharing information, not concealing it. That's from my own narrow perspective, however, and I...
What if I want some users to ignore me? Well, those few remaining who aren't, that is...
What particular reason(s) do you like it over the others you've tried, squirellman?
I hope this doesn't sound too obvious, but check the existing bike plug with a voltmeter; don't trust the wire colors (assuming that it has...
Yeah, I figured you did. I guess if clearance and/or weight really is an issue, they might make sense. I don't know about the silver or gold...
