  1. Silicone is a red headed slut to painted surfaces. Any attempts to repaint that area could result in a horrible "fisheye" in the paint. Had it happen to my Jeeps in the past. I'd suggest buying a new tail section, which comes perfectly painted. Then, sell the existing tail on Ebay. A repainted bike will depreciate your bike's value as everyone will assume (incorrectly) it has been dumped or rebuilt. :icon_doh:
  2. Definitely Never Dull. Flitz works better on stainless steel pistols with an obvious grain.
  3. Nice work! Does it feel good when you squeez it? Kind of like a booby? :icon_clap: :icon_clap:
  4. Cool! Let me know how it goes.
  5. I do agree there is not alot of bushing to grab, but once it is installed next to the resevoir it is a very tight fit. I do recall using some of the bushings and parts from the stock Honda lever; which it looks like you still have. Key thing is be patient, it's like a cognitive puzzle. Also, the long screw threads down through the shaft and does not need to be reefed into place. (You will simply mar the head of the fastener.) Obviously once the nut is installed it will keep the screw from backing out on you. If you need more help, don't hesitate to call.
  6. My previous sets were plug and play as Flitemedic noted. However, these were a little different. Eric, I just took mine off my bike, took it apart and took pictures. The spring doesn't make any difference. The small, brass colored pin aligns on the end of the clutch plunger. (You just need to make sure to line it all up.) Uploading pics now. However, my printer/reader has been acting up. The
  7. Betweem D&D pipes and Migs I've never heard my CCT. If I do, I have an X-11 waiting in a drawer.
  8. Nice work on the weight loss Steve. The past few weeks I've gotten as low as 168, back at about 170. Heaviest ever was 205.

    Crash Shrooms

    Yep, don't crash. In your line of work you should know that one!
  10. Doing burnouts 15 feet from the main entrance to the Reno Hilton at 3:00 am didn't help my tire either.
  11. Got a ticket running 100+ on that wasted tire too! (When I asked the CHP to write me for defective tire or defective exhaust he shook his head NO and kept writing).
  12. After HookersXX I rode from Portland to Seattle on this wear bar, you should be fine.
  13. Thanks! Cool link, the guy's shop is about 5 miles from my house.
  14. Since we are asking, I need a service manual for a 1997 Ford F-350 with a 7.3 Powerstroke diesel. Local shops don't have them. Maybe they are also on-line?
  15. I used red Permatex, you can buy it in a tube just about anywhere. If I recall the red is rated to a higher heat value than the blue. I used it for both.
  16. Front wheels are different from carb bikes to FI bikes. 97-98 fuel tanks do not fit FI bikes. All body work can interchange, though the FI bikes do not have the mesh on the intakes under the headlamp. This the kind of stuff you had in mind?
  17. Haven't heard of them. What can't you fix on the bird?
  18. I don't pee on Honda motorcycles. Been known to piss on a Harley though.
  19. Thought you'd get a better response in your own thread. Manny said: "Thanks guys for the support. Yesterday I got a tire shipment from Ron Ayers. I am trying a harder compound. The Road Tech Metzler Z6 so far (95 miles tonight) seem to stick plenty good. I broke in the tires and chain and then I did some low to medium speed twistys and a couple charges to 160mph out on the highway. No apparent slipage with the exception of getting really light over rises. My last tires were the Sport tech and before that the Michelin Pilots. We are real hard on tires out here. I want to see if I can get more miles out of this set. We have tons of pot holes not to mention man hole covers that have blown off during heavy rain. Keeps you alert. During this tire change I did my first sprocket/chain change.(21,000mi) Original sprockets still look good. From Parts 411.com I got a ZR Regina(chain and both sprockets) combo kit for $180. Ron Ayers was $200 for both tires. Here they want $240 for just the rear tire. Anyway I was looking for any reports on the Z6. Let me know your experience with these tires if any. I was appauled when I pulled off the sprocket cover. I never seen so much gook. The original front sprocket has rubber, I think, on both sides. Reginas did not. So far I can't tell a difference other than how damn smooth the bike is with a fresh set of tires ,sprockets and chain. I was down for a month before this change and I am refucking amazed with this bike. Oh ya, I found out why there are so many Hayabusas here in PR. They were cheaper than our Honda!!! But still many of these guys spend a fortune on customising the 1300. Lots of chrome, custom wheels,paint and more. Also I noticed my dampners behind the rear sprocket are showing some cracks and general wear. How long do you all get out of them? "
  20. I have the MIGS, and have to agree with Tim, the Hindle system does seem superior. Pretty sure I remembered reading the French owned company, MIG, went out of business.
  21. Nice tutorial. Love the construction work orange gear.
