The Wrench, Wrenches, Wrench Set thread
rockmeupto125 replied to Nova Scotia Mike's topic in The Garage
Most of my Snap-On tools were new in the 1960's. The ratchet teeth are getting a little rounded. I would buy old name brand in good shape before I'd spend money on new name brand. I've rarely seen tools become better made. -
2015 Ducati Diavel
rockmeupto125 replied to SR71BLACKBIRDXX's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
Eurobeaner was lusting on that. Congrats on sale. -
Caleb......attempts to contact you by phone are unsuccessful. I need your address.

The aftermarket shims like Hotcams are readily available from cycle supplies online. Ebay as well, maybe even Amazon.

I caught hell the last time I stripped an XX skeleton and didn't advertise, so here I am. Stripping a 1999 XX skeleton, frame fittings, swingarm, brales. ETC are available, not much else from this one. If you have any needs or wants, speech up.

Pristine maybe 2001 XX
rockmeupto125 replied to rockmeupto125's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
I think the premise is fair. He's advertising it on an XX forum for a friend who just wants it gone and doesn't really know how to go about it. He's not interested in the forum for any other reason, hence his email. He's done his due diligence to his friend and XX people might get a nice bike. Now, given the circumstances, the title situation may well be a concern. -

Comes up on Google. -
There's what appears to be a bone stock (except for pricey slip ons), pristine XX potentially for sale listed on the other XX site. Low 20's mileage, Florida location, 5k-ish price. Just a heads up.

King of SUVs for sale.
rockmeupto125 replied to superhawk996's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
I think it's an excellent ad. The only thing I might suggest is a short initial Cliff Note first paragraph for those with short attention spans (those folks have money too). I think that would sell in about a day around here. -
Removing the EFI fuel tank to route few wires from battery to speedo
rockmeupto125 replied to Tom's topic in The Garage
There's a passel on that site. Which ones did you use? -
Removing the EFI fuel tank to route few wires from battery to speedo
rockmeupto125 replied to Tom's topic in The Garage
Here's what I would do if I just wanted to run a couple wires. *Remove the seat. *Remove the two bolts holding down the rear of the tank. *Pop the trim panels away from the tank in the rear. *Lift the rear of the tank an inch or two. It might be helpful to release the wiring to the tank from the clip on the left side of the tank mount. *Gently run a stiff wire from the rear to the front of the tank to grab and pull your more flexible wiring through. It's hot under there, be sure it is adequately insulated. *Put it back together. For the record, I rarely remove a tank. For almost any need, the tank can be removed from its mounts and rotated up in the front, then over to rest on its top (think backflip) with adequate padding. As I recall, it's helpful to disconnect the fuel pump and sending unit wiring and pull one or two vacuum hoses...nothing more. If you have some way or someone to support the tank upright, even that is unnecessary. No need to disconnect fuel lines or anything else. -
As posted..........bike level, dipstick not screwed in. Oil leaks on the left side of the bike are that would spray to your shoe are usually a stator cover leak, either from the cover itself or from the grommet where the wires pass through, or from the shift shaft seal. Clean everything and then check it every time you ride to pinpoint the spot. If you can't find it, there are UV dies you can put in the oil to find the culprit.

1997 Blackbird dash cluster light replacement
rockmeupto125 replied to XXitanium's topic in The Garage
I have no idea. Hid lights are all accessory add-ons, and each installation is different, but the driver has to be connected to the bike's electrical system somehow, and those noon-factory connections are the ones that are typically poorer than most. -
1997 Blackbird dash cluster light replacement
rockmeupto125 replied to XXitanium's topic in The Garage
I assume you didn't put projector beams in the headlight, so it would be a standard H7 HID bulb at the appropriate color rating. Swap the connectors to make sure it's the bulb that's given up, it's not uncommon for ballasts to go bad. And of course, check the connections because with the higher current and voltage that goes through the HID, connections can oxidize or burn if there's an air gap anywhere. -
Givi Sport Touring Windscreen to trade
rockmeupto125 replied to singram's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
What happened? Changing a screen is usually not a daunting task. -
I thought I'd throw this out there, you never know what you'll find. A friend needs a silver upper cowl, and I'm beating the bushes for him. If you've heard of anything, please let me know.
