It's not hard, but it's even easier if they aren't there...

It certainly makes getting to the spark plugs easier, and for me that was worth the time and energy to do the block offs. Plus, when it's time for the next valve check, that will be easier, as well.

Exactly. Used the string method once to figure out the error in the factory marks and now use those with the proper adjustment whenever I change tires, adjust chain, etc.

+1 on that. As you did, I just shortened the stock lights so they would clear the wing rack.

WTB-Candy Glory Red Parts 2001 XX
Keith replied to JB4XX's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
I have a rear cowl off a '97, so it's black, not red, and it has a couple of small cracks and scuff marks. Probably not what you want. -

That was page one of the two page installation instructions. I can post the other page when I get home tonight, if that would help. It probably shows what pieces go where. LMK.

What is the size of the Tourmaster Convertible jacket? -
My Yoshi RS3s have over 25,000 miles on them and I have not noticed an appreciable change in their loudness, although they do seem a bit more throaty now. I think they improve with age and don't plan on repacking them any time soon.

Carbon-kevlar fiber protection covers for engine

Given the quality of your work, I think you'd get a number of potential customers. :icon_pray: -
Carbon-kevlar fiber protection covers for engine
Keith replied to Zabolo's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
Yeah, but for $220 (150 euro = $220) plus $30 shipping, you can buy two OEM replacement stator covers from Ron Ayers... Can't deny the bling factor, though. -
I've never put anything on the pad backing. Just be sure to clean up the pistons before you push them back into the caliper when you are making room for the new pads; you don't want all that road grime, etc., getting inside the caliper bores.

I really like the 18T up here in the mountains. The ration seems to be much better for this terrain. With the 17T, 1st always seems too low and 2nd too high, but the 18T solves that problem. It is a fact that starting up on an incline with the 18T requires a bit more clutch slippage, however.

I don't believe the clock goes through the ignition or kill switch, so looking for a ground problem seems like a good place to start.

Winter storage? What is that?

Testing waters - wheels off '03 SOLD
Keith replied to Keith's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
The wheels have been sold. Thanks to everyone for their interest. -
Just a quick question, as I don't see where you have specified: are those the ST rider pegs or pillion pegs? Thx.
-
We don't have that on US XXs (at least not on my '03). My Triumph Sprint RS had it and I really liked having that capability.

WTB - 97 1100xx Proportioning Control Valve
Keith replied to RC4G's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
You could be right. Mine's an '03 and I got the recall. No issues with mine, however. -

I believe there's a recall on that part. If yours is leaking, Honda may replace it free. Check it out. -
Testing waters - wheels off '03 SOLD
Keith replied to Keith's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
No, I'm not interested in packing them, but I'll think about it. I don't believe just slapping a shipping label on them is a good idea, unless you want a lot more scratches and maybe a few dents in them. I doubt UPS/FedEx/USPS are going to be all that careful with them. So, they would need to be individually boxed or in the same box with a lot of padding around them. Anyway, if no one local pipes up, I'll consider it; are you sure you're willing to pay all of the shipping costs? The silver wheels cost me $100 in shipping, and that was without tires... That was from Canada, so maybe inter-USA would be cheaper. -
I have the original set of wheels from my '03 sitting around the garage and I'd like to get rid of them. I purchased a set of silver wheels from a guy on Ebay to replace the black OEMs (I like the look of the silver wheels on the black XX better). The OEMs have a set of Pilot Roads on them with maybe 1000 miles left in them. The wheels had about 30,000 miles on them when I took them off, so the wheel bearings are probably in OK condition. They have the usual scratches that you get from removing/reinstalling the wheels for tire changes, but are otherwise in perfect condition, i.e. not dents, cracks, or other blemishes. I'm not interested in shipping these things; they weigh a ton with the tires on them and boxing them up would be a PITA. So, I'd only be interested if someone more or less local wanted them. Say Stockton to Sacramento to the motherlode foothills of CA. We could arrange a place to meet in between. I'm down in Folsom at work Monday-Thursday, so could deliver in the Sacramento area. NOTE: they do NOT have the disk rotors on them; those were transferred to the silver wheels. The rear wheel does NOT have the rubber thingys in it nor does it have the sprocket or sprocket carrier; they were transferred, too. I'd like to get what I paid for the silver wheels, which was $50/each. Or make me an offer. LMK.
