  1. I think savage might have some rockets or r2s?
  2. Damn good lookn bike! If I wasn't such a pussy I'd be interested in that. Good luck with the sale.
  3. I was just lookin at a used on of those at the hobby shop. Things are crazy, huge, and heavy. Couldn't believe how much that one weighed. Lotta meat in one of them. Love to have one. Lil too much cash at the moment. I'll trade a bunch of my electric stuff for it? Haha
  4. I've used electric and manual staplers And both can be a pain in the butt. The key is like everybody said to use plenty of pressure and also keep the stapler straight don't want it in any kind of an angle. Also make sure you got the right length staples. If you use too long of staples on the sides it'll poke out and eat the seatcover from the inside.
  5. Are ya keepin that jewel or gonna sell it?
  6. This is an actually somewhat useful post I think. I've always tied off to a I guess you could say "unsprung" part on the quad. Spindle, or control arm next to the spindle, and usually axle or somewhere around the carrier. I figured the quad with no one on it shouldn't bounce as much goin down the road as it does with my fat ass on it. That leaves no chance for things to move around when the suspension does move and takes tension off a strap. Keeps the wheels planted on the trailer. Any thoughts?
  7. Got the tire irons today. Look good thanks.
  8. How did u push the piston back in when u put the new pads in? Did u open the ressi then and possibly get air in it?
  9. Went to the local Walmarts today and got a galaxy S III. Only had it a few hours. Appears to be a cool phone. But I think I'm takin it back and gettin the 5. I'm not super tech guy, but I want the cool camera and speed. And all the other crap that comes on it. My prob I think is that I'm just lazy. I really have no interest in learning a new phone. Pathetic I know but after playing with this thing for a couple hours I think I'd be happier with the ol apple crap. I already know how to use it and the wife thinks she wants a Mac. So the sinc stuff would be kinda cool too.
  10. Flat spot right off idle? Sure it's not lean instead of rich? Elevation is up there but I wouldn't think you'd be way rich with those pipes, porting, and filters. I'd step up a size on the pilots to like 29 or whatever next size is. Have you already tried that? Does it leak fuel out the overflows while it's sitting? If not I would think your needle and seat are ok.
  11. I've had same issue but like has been said I've used the same card a different stations. Some shut down at 100 some don't. How is that the card company? They like some stations better than others? I get the idea but if they're gonna do it let's be consistent. What if you go to a truck stop and use the semi pumps? Does it do the same thing?
  12. if your interested make offer Well since this is craigslist now, how bout $25?
  13. I made em last week.
  14. Those are CPIs? They come off that one guys bike that was doin a part out but wouldn't show us anymore pics?
  15. Damn I was just gonna buy one of these mothers too.
  16. I'll start the bidding at $20
  17. Do you know anything about jetting? Not being a smartass, figure it's a valid question especially if you're new. Do we know what jets are in it? Has there been a temperature change in-between the times you rode it?
  18. Last time I rode it I was actually around 5000'. Hoping to do some tuning in the next couple weeks. I'll be around 2500' doin that. I would think I'd end up a lil leaner than you up here if our porting is similar. My timing is at 5 but wanted to try jackin it up after I get the jetting lined out. Let me know where u end up. I think you should be close
  19. If I drilled the hose clamp head for the air filter then that will stay put too Seriously? I've been goin on 20 years on this junk. I've got a couple extra kickers and a few of the other specialty parts that I carry just in case. Had to use them once or twice. But safety wire is way overkill on these things. Red loctite on all that stuff will be more than adequate and also make u bust off a few bolt heads trying to get it back apart. Except that filter clamp, better safety wire that one. Can't really loctite a hose clamp.
  20. I'd b interested to see where u end up with this. I've got the same setup on avgas. I'm around a 50 pilot middleish clip and 150-55 main. I'm lean and backing out plugs. My guy thinks I'll end up around 170. I think im still lean on my pilot too. I'm running 39pwks on mine. But I wonder if I would probably b close on jetting with a different size carb. Where is your timing at?
  21. If Kevin is right down the road I'd take it by his place and ask him to look at it. By the time you've banged your head on it for six months he coulda fixed it for ya and you could move on. Just a thought.
  22. Gonna have to say post some pics. Get a better idea what you're dealing with.
  23. Somebody tellin u they won't fit or u can't get them to fit?
  24. I don't think you'll find any differences back there. Air boxes and plastic haven't changed since they started makin em.
  25. U mean 89 and newer maybe? Cant think of a reason why they would work on a newer bike and not an older one. Now in the other direction i think there's some that'll only fit the older bikes and not the newer because of the j arms.
