Doesn't friction get in the way? I balanced a next gen CT scanner rotor within a gram, but at the time we were using an air bearing, it had a coefficient of friction of .00002 so any imbalance anywhere on that rotor was vividly apparent just by stoping motion, seeing which way it turned, and where it stopped. (point directly between the start point and stop point was the heavy side, add a gram or 2 to the opposite side...depending on acceleration) You won't be an issue on motorcycle tires. Sorry if someone already answered this...I didn't read the whole post. If you use skateboard bearings, they will be more than suitable for a static balancer. I balance my own tires all the time and never have had a problem The key is to balance your rim first without the tire on it. Most rims have a heavy spot no where near the valve stem. I normally get away with having no weight added to only 7-14 grams (1-2 wieghts).

One possibility is you are gaining muscle so your weight is not decreasing. I personally would tell you to throw away your scale and use bodyfat measurements or a tape measure for circumference measurements. Muscle weighs more than fat so you could end up weighing more but still be leaner.

Legs are great....exercising the legs WILL promote upper body growth...helps to release more natural growth hormones. If you have a week back...I would work on strengthening your hamstrings first. Leg curls, Straight Legged Dead Lifts, Lunges. Be careful with squats when lifting heavy weight if you have back issues. One way you could do squats to help lower back issues is to use a fit ball and dumbbells for weight. Put the ball between you and the wall and hold the dumbbells in each hand to the side. Then squat...full range of motion is best. The ball will roll up and down the wall so that you can keep your back straight. I won't list my lifts since weight is relative to each person.

Well...I've never done the cams on a bird before but I'm guessing they are like many other shim under bucket setups... I always ziptie the chain to the gears before loosening the cams to make the valve adjustment. This allows me to put everything back in place without messing with the timing. Then just cut the zipties off when finished....make sure you don't drop them into the engine...ok.

I can help anyone that needs help...I can post something up if you'd like. But don't look at it as a diet...look at it as a lifestyle change. +1 on the Body For Life ... I do things a little different but this is a good book.

PM me your email and I can send you some stuff if you'd like. But just been consistant for the past 6 years...slowly gaining strength and size. And eating 6 times a day. I wasn't eating clean for all that time but over the last couple months...I've cut out all processed foods from my diet. Still eat tons of food...more than most people but broken up over 6 meals. I drink 6 quarts of water everyday. Weights 5-6 times a week along with fat burning cardio 4-5 time a week now. The last 6 years....haven't done much cardio...just was working on size without putting too much bodyfat on. I was probably 10-12% last Halloween. Side note...have my wife eating clean now too....she started in Jan and has lost 15 lbs. I think she looks great....got rid of the stuff on her thighs and butt. None of her clothes fit anymore.

So I just found this post....I guess I posted my progress in the wrong post. So I'll post it here again. And nice job WILLSXX. Just my update... down to 7.3% bodyfat and gained 5 lbs of muscle since last October...I just got another 1 or 2 % to go. been eating clean since December. Here's a photo of my long journey... I'm planning on working on symmetry and a little more size this year and do a masters natural bodybuilding show in the fall.

Just FYI...if you are interested in purchasing HydroxyCut...this is a good price... buy one, get one free I've used it before...but you must be eating pretty clean for it to work well...if you are not eating well...you are just waisting your money...but that's the way it is with all thermogenics.

Not a blackbird....but Mac installed some on the Mille R. I like them...nice sound... It's the full system with carbon pipes...you can pretty much grab the carbon pipes while the bike is running and not get burned.

I just heard that lately but I have been using brake cleaner on car rotors for about 30 years with no ill affect, so............. I'm just saying....don't get the brake cleaner on the brake pads. It's ok on the rotors. I just don't use it because I normally don't remove the rotors from the bike. here's my ride...

First off...don't use brake cleaner. It leaves a residue on your rotors plus it's very bad to get on the brake pads. The soapy water is a better solution. For de-glazing.... the tool instructions on use If you do the rotor hone...you should also take you pads out and sand them flat again. Use a piece of glass to put the sandpaper on and rub the pad on the sandpaper to get a flat surface. Then put them back on a follow normal break-in procedure. This will allows the whole surface of the pad to contact the rotor again.

Don't do it unless you are planning on racing. If you want to see results...get wheels.

Baby wipes work well for this also. Just FYI.

You have the motiionpro jumbo? You don't have to file anything. Just push the pin out by turning the screw and pin pushes out like butter. Best tool I ever purchased...even though I've used it more for friends than I have myself.
