Tire help needed from knowledgeable peepsā¦.

Same here. It's grabbing, but I don't know that I'd want to look at it every day. If you're referring to Jeep's Gecko Green, I think the bike is very different. And while I loved Gecko on my Jeep, it's questionable on a stocker. Too much "look at me" with not much to look at. Porsche's LIzard Green seems to be pretty similar to the Jeep green and I love it on a pimped out 911 GT3, but I don't know that it would look good on my mundane 911.

I wouldn't be surprised if he talks them out of wanting to do it. -

I've never had this problem with bike or car/truck tires and have never heard of it before. Sure you're not making this up in your head? -
5/16 and 8mm are interchangeable in case you have a socket or nut driver in 8mm but not 5/16..
-
Use a 5/16" nut driver with a 1/4" hex, or a 1/4" hex to 1/4" square drive and a 5/16" socket.

You are what you eat, cows are vegans, milk is a vegan product. Tonight I'm being an omnivore since chickens will eat meat. -

Those tires are super fucked, send them to me for free environmentally friendly disposal. -
When you grab that book put your mind in XR mode; all mechanical, a little hard to use, but satisfying.

I've seen his safety considerations around the shop, no way he's gonna bareback a paper back.

If the engine is complete and you have the harness, you'll just need to connect to the ignition box and coils. If you don't have a harness you'd need a wiring diagram to connect the parts. What does "Y reg" mean?

Holy shit! I am so glad I didn't know that before hauling bikes on my unsprung bike trailer. Now I have to make sure to forget this before I use it again, especially with the 800+ pound bikes as I'm sure those would eat straps in no time if I knew that suspension is the only way to keep from breaking them. I guess the previous owner also didn't know, he would have been super fucked since he often towed it off-road.

I was thinking something to tow behind the motorcycle also. A U-joint or CV joint with a 2" tube to go into the truck hitch should work to keep it upright while allowing articulation. Seems like it should be a fairly easy build. It would be great if I had a couple complete driveshafts sitting in my scrap metal pile...oh yea, there they are.

When it looks to good to be true, it usually is, but not always. When I was hunting for a 7.3 truck I came across a cream puff F-250; fully loaded, low miles, garage kept, one owner, full service history, and priced below all the high mile beaters. When I finally got ahold of the seller it was gone. They were surprised that so many people wanted grampa's noisy stinky old truck that none of the family wanted.

My guess is that if it's legit, it's already sold. I haven't tracked prices on them, but that seems too low to not be a scam.
