  1. Nice bike geezer, does the buell pegs help with the bend in your knees when riding??? What year/make should a man search for if you don't mind me asking. Marcus Amsoil Specialist
  2. Hoses fixed the issue, thanks.
  3. I have a 6ft cow snake named thomas that I found in my garage. No mice problems like last season. I like thomas.
  4. I recently put plugs in my 97' and put everything back together. From my previous bike a cbr1000r I remember that the two little hoses that connect under the tank are pretty important for running. The XX is sorta foolproof, the hoses only reach where the are supposed too. The bike took a few attempts to fire up and finally did so just like always. Sounds good, except when you take the choke from 1/4 on to off, it dies everytime, touch the throttle, it dies. The idle of the bike sounds perfect, all the plugs and wires must be on correct for it to sound like it does. However, after checking things several times I kinda felt stumped to as why it is acting like this. Can someone please offer up any suggestions? Could water or dirt in the carbs cause this or should i be looking for more crossed hoses or a loose wire connection somewhere. Bike ran fine prior, other than a factory air filter and plugs with 13k on them. Sorry for the book Marcus
  5. Give this a try https://www.amsoil.com/storefront/aob.aspx should fix any problems. Marcus Coyle
  6. I've done both, and I am back to stock gearing because I didn't care to hear a 1137cc wind out on the hwy like a gsxr750. If you want a honda factory 16t front, shoot me a email and I may be able to help you out. Marcus
  7. I measured them with my calipers and the Galfer lines are .30" diameter. I actually didn't tighten the clamp all the way down, I loosened it a bit and made sure the line isn't sqeezed. Here are pictures at the calipers. So what's the result of the brake lines? Was it what you were expecting, because I've been thinking of doing this for a little while. I think stock xx brakes are a tad on the touring side of sport. So if GG pads and some steel lines will help, I'd like to know so I can get some ordered up. Thanks for any help Marcus
