Funny...I had an '84 CB700SC. Fixed it up for a total of $400 ($350 for remanufactured carbs), and 50$, and a lot of late nights. Sold it when i got the FZ6, because I didn't want to go down the path of having too much stuff/too little time (like I don't already do that :rolleyes:). To this...

I hear ya. Got on to other things tonight, but will get to it soon. You might want to check your picture on page 2 of this thread. Shows filing the left side of the nub, when looking at the wheel from the back. Correct. But in that picture with the blue line drawn, that is looking at the...

Yeah, the real world application, as often is the case, does not mirror the desire to play. And you're right, there's a lot more to it. I'll have to read through some of the other posts again. I remember hearing that the 1st and second gear retard had been verified, and that of course in...

Hi all, Loren here, KB2WYL in Northern CA. So I've become more active here on the Forums, and I have a little problem. I cannot find my "Signature" in my profile space, to edit. When I check out other members, I see that in the "About Me" tab, there is their signature. But in my own "About...

yeah I put it in a program so I could see it. I am definitely one not to touch anything until I am sure of what I am doing. Unless it is something that can't have any negative results anyway, i.e. exhaust cats open or straight piped through ;-) I just used a paint type program, but drawing it...

Re: Final Imppact Winter project; playing w/trigger I had another one for ya, question that is FinalImpact. You stated to make sure that you file the rotor nub square. I would assume you mean square perpendicular to the rotor itself, i.e. the shortest dimension of the nub, it's height off of...

"you murdered the..." Well, if I don't go someplace else first, riding the way I was today :eek: Seriously, what a difference. When I did the secondary cat, small diff, slightly better sound. Drilled them out, again. Cut the muffler open, better sound, very little performance increase. But...

On the way out to school...I'm stoked to give her a ride. I think this is great info. FinalImpact, between your mod with the S1 and mine with the S2 headers, we've got some great options for giving the bikes breathability. Even if one doesn't weld, someone locally does, and whether mount and...

I'd be willing to help, I bet others would as well. Maybe take a poll and see about interest? Is the hardware something you can find used?

Well well well...It's late, and I don't have much time. Welding class tomorrow morning, early, and I am going to take the bike for a test drive. First, the bad news: The wife was taking a nap today, and so no recording of how the exhaust sounded with the primary cats still in. Bummer. But...

Well...Almost there. When she's all back together, I'll do the recording. Then, on to the headers. Have been having intermittent issue I thought was the clutch switch. Little search here on the forums yielded info that it was actually the on/off switch. Heck with that noise, soldered it...

Ha!. That's funny because I was just thinking as i was bolting it all back up how I've been meaning to do the fork swap. I had the springs, so I wanted to give them a try, but a few months down the road maybe I'll take it all back apart again. I'm sure the painted calipers will only last so...

You know, FinalImpact, I was wondering if the sump was solid AL or cast. Most engine parts are cast AL, which even for an experienced TIG'r can be a challenge. Cast metals LOVE to soak up (well, oil in this case), and as you know TIGing anything is a great way to find out whether you have 2...

Well...might not be either. One of the reasons I got into welding 2 years ago (besides employment opportunity/enhancement with construction) was because I've always hated having to bolt things together, and trips to the hardware store, or E-bay. Sure, there's limits, like it was way better...

I'm taking more pics tonight (Usually I'm not the best with documenting things with pictures, think of it afterwards). Got the calipers painted, forks out and drained, brake line ends polished, etc etc. Before this goes too far off of "S1 header....", Is there a way to change this to a build...

I swear I don't see the option for signature..My avatar picture, my profile (likes interests etc.), email settings, blog settings....I can get to the editing pages jsut fine but I see absolutely nothing for signature. Is it just the little empty field below "custom user title"? The way it...

For what it's worth, it won't help you too much to get a different bikes map. They are specific to each bike, and require tuning (with a Dyno or with AFR monitoring, or both). Any gains you get would be offset by also losing power/mileage at other RPM/gears. If you really want to try, there...

Hi all. I'm finally getting serious (and the time) about giving my '07 some attention. I joined here a couple years ago when I got her, but never posted much and only did a few simple mods. I find myself coming back here again and again, so I figured it's time to start posting some of my...

Thanks so much for the reply. I still haven't found a map that really improves it too much, but I'm getting closer the more I learn. I do mostly phone on 80-10 meters, depending on what's open. I run an Icom, 756 pro original. Actually just put my antenna back together at the new house. I...

Hi there, Loren here. I posted on the introductions thread, and figured I'd come here. Only question I haven't been able to figure out on my own :-) I have searched and searched, to no avail. I figure there must be plenty of people out there who have had their bikes dyno'd and have that map...
