I recently got ahold of some stock carbs that had aftermarket caps on them, but did not have the idle screws installed. After doing some searching, I found a couple forum posts and eBay auctions where people had not installed the screws and claimed their bike was running fine. My question is: Do you have to install the idle screws? If you do, what is the tap size you need for them? (I could figure that out myself, but it's easier to ask).

Industrial Metal Supply, American Metal Supply, or if you like internet shopping www.chassisshop.com . :thumbsup:

I just called Jansenn and asked what size they were when I replaced mine.

I suppose if they were any good, then everyone would have them.

I have also bee eyeing those, but don't know anything more about them other than they were made by a shop that went out of business. Those silencers might questionable as spark aresstors. They are certainly nmot U.S.F.S. approved. :thumbsup:

The part of your statement about the Works bodies is correct. The part of your statement about the Elka bodies is just plain wrong. First of all look at an Elka shock, then look at a TCS shock.................surprise, they don't look anything alike. Past that, I have been to the TCS shop out in Lake Elsinore and I could them manufacturing their own bodies. :shoothead:

I am sure they are an ok company. I am pretty sure I have heard a few good thing about them all the way on the West coast. The cylinders are nothing special. They are Cheetah cylinders without power valves. :thumbsup:

I agree. TCS does not use other people's bodies anymore. They used to use works bodies a long time ago. WHoever said they use Elka bodies apparently hasn't seen one shock or the other, ever, or they need to works towards only smoking one rock a day. I have a TCS reworked YZF450 front and a reworked stock rear. It rides better than several of my friends high end Elka shocked bikes. I have riddes Ohlins and Axis shocked bikes that were a little better than mine. PEP stuck sucks. I had two different sets of their shocks. Both were poor quality and performed poorly. Customer service was ok though if you don't mind have your bike down for months at a time while someone on their end calls you with a weekly excuse for you as to why their shocks didn't work, or why they aren't done yet, or how they may have lost them. :shoothead:

I am all for making things for your bike. Just not high precision brass pieces that could cause me to die if they made a carb. stick open. If you would like to make one for yourself, go for it. I just wouldn't reccomend it to anyone else. :thumbsup:

That sounds pretty scurrrry.

Alba pretty much sucks to deal with not matter what. Even if you did call them they would probably just give you the verbal finger.

A picture might help. :thumbsup:

I'll buy that. :thumbsup:

The tensile strength part is correct. The strength in straight lines is either really misleading or really incorrect. Depending on the weft and weave of the cloth as well as the shape formed, the direction of strength may be the furthest thing possible from a straight line. :thumbsup:

I could probably make some for you. How much are you looking to spend? What sort of impacts are you looking to protect against?

I live in Irvine and ride at Glamis, El Mirage, Pismo, ow where ever some one will take since I haven't been here very long.

Tag team? Or is that weird?

I don't really want to pull mine apart and look, but I'll check and see if one of my buddies have one that I can fool with. I thought you were selling your bike? :thumbsup:

ATC500's were never produced though people seem to think they were because the manual and some tother things are in the Honda parts microfiche from 1986. There was a 500cc trike made by a compnay named Tiger. They also made 250cc and 125cc trikes. All of them were heavily racing oriented. :thumbsup:

Cascade makes a nice lookig set though I have seen them for sale elsewhere. James Lucky and Golden West Cycles I think are the other places that i have seen them. I am interested as to what folks think about them. Maybe I need some?

TRD

That's the coolest thing I saw all day!

I think the best part is that it cost $180k. I could have totally come up with a better acronym than KOAB. Atleast I get to sit at work and thing of alternative definitions for that acronym now. :biggrin:
