My username, TeeCat, is a play on "Tom Cat", as my name is Tom. It kind of backfired - in a good way though - because a bunch of young people whom I have been e-mentoring for years have constructed t ...

I miss RG and twins. They seemed like nice fellows, frankly - they were always so to me, anyway - and were always there to extricate me on the many occasions when I painted myself into a corner.

Yeah, I got that impression as well. My petcocks are tight and I don't seem to have any egregious flooding/float issues any more.

Kev, I thought about the solid ones, but they're too long for my application.

As to your 650 Central suggestion, I might just keep the new MikesXS ones on for the winter, for tuning and a little li ...

[quote="Mikesxs"]Note: K&L, Tourmaster, Mikes XS, Old bike barn etc. are all the same!
We have sold All sources ! The Japanese and the Taiwanese made holders we sell have had the same results with E ...

[quote="yamaman"]This is why I got myself a Maton:

Ya know... it just ain't right! Confused

I knew it had to be T the E. Razz

Does your Maton m ...

Rats... at work... can't see the vid! I'll have a peek when I get home! Razz

Thanks too much, yami... not that I fish for compliments, but I'm happy to have them when they jump out of the water and into the boat. Razz

Sad about your bass! Sad

I have an inexpensive one that ...

That's a beautiful guitar! Looks like a nice wide nut for a fingerstylist!

I like your Maton as well!

Guitar is a love-hate relationship for me... at just 6 years of self teaching I find that I ...

I got mine from Old Bike Barn, and there was no such warning on their site, so I'm hoping the ethanol issue does not apply to their product. The manufacturer is K&L, Japan.

Tell you what, mate... you've got skills. You make everything look so easy, and as if nothing ever happened!

My pleasure, Jeff.

Well, the side covers will work... they mount in approximately the stock location... but I won't be able to use the lower mount points. I'll just use the top bolt. I had to get ...

I tried both ways, jayel. One way had the carbs too far in toward center. These replacements are canted, whereas my original ones were not, so I had to play with them and try to get the carbs in rou ...

Thanks, taco. At least another variable is eliminated, but the side cover solution has not knocked at my cerebral door yet. Sad

I replaced these today with ones from Old Bike Barn. While they seem to fit, it's correct that the airboxes would be a problem. I'm not running them so it's not an issue. However, the angle of the ...

I can't speak to the Georgia issue because I'm in Maryland, but unless he wants to, he won't have to spend that much for a purpose-built fingerstyle acoustic. Pay close attention to Seagul ...

gordo, thanks much for the tips! I'll employ them for sure, especially the leveling part. I'd imagine there are only so may ways, but I'll do as you suggest, compare old to new, and try to see what ...

taco, thanks very much!

As to the "notch", it's not the groove, but it's like two little raised spots on the carb-side face of the rubber part. It has me wondering if there's a designated left and ...

Thoughts on my other questions still welcome.

Also, is there a concern with ethanol fuels with these, guys?

Thanks, YC!

'morning, guys...

I just received [url=http://www.oldbikebarn.com/Yamaha-XS650-Carb-Holder_2][b]these BS 38-compatible replacement intake manifolds[/b] from Old Bike Barn. They're nice and supple. ...

Thanks, gordo! This is very helpful, all except:

This part seems to contradict what you s ...

Going to do that if I get time today or tomorrow and it's not raining.

Also, after some of what I have seen the PO did to this bike - some pretty terrifying stuff even to my neophyte eye - I have a ...

Okay... I e-mailed Mike Morse. He told me that the later model holders should work with my bike as long as I don't have air boxes that need to line up, so it might be worth a try. Then, at least, I ...
