I raised my needles a notch. Am I screwed?

I think the BUB exhaust would be an acceptable alternative to NOS. It was THE hot exhaust in it's day and it is period correct. Sometimes there is not an alternative, unless you have very deep pock ...

I had to get my paint from the European PPG subsidiary. Even with the AutoColor code it could not be matched in the US. But the bike is the real cobalt blue, the side covers are only painted on the ...

William J. King. Goes back to my previous career where you logged in with last name, first initial, middle initial.

Any idea what the front wheel and brake is from?

'79 cobalt blue

Autocolor 2KE8B

Know it doesn't help you but it was a perfect match.

Heard most folks from Smyrna marry their sisters. Welcome to the board and congrats on breaking away from the Harley world. PM me if you want to get together sometime for a cup of coffee or a brew. ...

Maybe the dude weighs 600 pounds.

In Philadelphia it's worth fifty bucks.

Sorry, could not resist.

Looks like the motor drops out the botton via removing the front mount. Just curious, how much have you been offered. Do you think the motor has Kel Carruther's magic inside?

Boy have things changed since you left. Welcome back and I hope some front braking is included in your plans.

All the screw adjustment does is compress a spring. The center rod does not move, it is being pushed by the spring against the guide providing tension. You can unscrew the whole deal and see what is ...

Sweet TZ250. I first saw Freddy Spencer on one of those at Daytona.

Did you scuff the plates before reassembly? Smooth plates can be grabby.

you can check valve timing pretty well by pulling the alternator cover, removing the valve covers on the left side and slowly turning the engine over with a wrench. Everyother revolution the exhaust ...

75% of the braking is in the front which means I would not want to ride that bike around here, too many Aholes in cars. But it is a clean bike.

They should all be so easy.

Were the 79 specials points bikes or electronic? I know my standard has points.

Is your rear axle aligned and tight? Steering head OK? Swinging arm bushes in good shape and lubed? Wheel bearings OK? That pretty much covers everything but a cracked frame. I'd definitely trac ...

tanker, welcome. Love your beer, weed and hookers.

These bikes are incredibly lean at idle. I raised my needle all the way up and reset the mixture screws and idle. Made a world of difference in the idle.

I pushed a dude about half a mile to bump start his harley. I got plus karma points.

Need to run some tests. Something went south in your electrical system, personally I'd spend the $30 bucks to upgrade to solid state regulator with Radio Shack rectifiers to eliminate them as an issu ...
