So Cal Suspension

Bump

One incident sticks out in my mind with windy's posts. I had impounded a couple Kymco ATV's in a rural area here, because the kids were riding on public roads, in traffic, no helmets, yada yada yada. The bikes came up clean, and were stuck into 30 day impound. The parents came and picked up the kids and the dad told me over and over about how he had just bought the bikes from Nevada, and never had registered them in CA (Yet. Of course). I told him he would need to show proof of ownership in order to get the bikes out of impound... All he had was a bill of sale. Come to find out, the bikes COULDN'T be registered in CA because he didn't have a title. The bikes sold at the next auction. California is one of the few states that require titles for damn near everything. Hell, bicycles valued over a certain dollar amount are issued titles now, because banks finance them. As windy said, ANYTHING that is capable of being financed by a financial institution in the United States is able to get a title. Just because your particular state doesn't require a title for registration reasons, does not mean that you cannot get a title for the bike. A certificate of origin, as windy stated, is what you submit to your governing agency to obtain the title. EVERY state will issue a title if it came with a certificate of origin. That is the whole purpose of the COO. I bet the banks that lent you the money on the bike that you purchased didn't just HOPE that you were going to return the bike if you stopped making payments... No siree bob, they had a title (perhaps paperless), but they had a title to that bike in the event that you defaulted, and they needed to repo the bike. I'd be willing to bet a good chunk of the bikes out there without titles have never been paid off, but the bank decided to eat the loss, rather than pursue reposession.

Dave, Mat has nothing to do with the assembly or tuning of this motor. He has made that very clear. The domes he sold Possum were not a custom cut. Just wanted to clear Mats name of the imminent catastrphic failure pending,

Phil, That guy is a pure bred moron. He has absolutely no clue what he's talking about, ever... obviously. I dunno, I pay less than 100 bucks for JJ&A Carriers...

For the record, Dave, Mat Shearer did NOT do hardly anything to that motor. He shipped the crank out to have it rebuilt as a favor, and did a repair on the transmission. That is ALL he has done.

A lb of powder goes a LONG way... If he's doing the powder, do what he suggests, but I know I've done stock banshee frames with about half a pound. One pound of powder would cover about 60-70 square feet.

Did you check for continuity at the switch and at the CDI.

1lb or less. Always buy a little more than double what you need in case you screw it up and have to re-do it.

My guess would be one of the wires going to the switch got broken in the wreck. Does your light, turn signal and horn switch still work? I'd start checking for a broken wire somewhere, and check for continuity.

I'm trying to figure out if my Trinity lockup cover shares a bolt pattern with any other ones so I can swap the red one out for clear. I've tried to match it up to a DD/Mattoon, and my lexan cover is slightly bigger in diameter than the DD/Mattoon. Anyone know?

I need intakes for a cheetah for 35mm carbs. Please post pictures and a PRICE. I won't respond to "Make an offer". If you want me to make an offer, it's $15 shipped for billet one piece intake with a built in crossover, so name a price. kthxbye

Yeah, JD would be walking on thin ice for two reasons. The copyright, and also the image itself.

Yeah, it's so mickey-moused that it was added in MS Paint... lol

Give me the non-powdercoated shifter.

Bump for a good seller. Responds to PM's fast. Good luck with your partout. Tons of nice parts on this bike.

Anyone else find the irony in this guys username?

Is that a chrome shifter? If so, is it in good shape? I need one like a fat kid needs cake.

Crate it. I've used Saia in the past with great results. We've shipped entire fiberglass truck bodies with no damage.

She'd fit right in at our camp in glamis.

Meth. Strip, dunes, trails, track, DYNO... everywhere...

To do it properly, either get a new link like people are suggesting, or shorten your stock rear shock, which is actually the best way to do it. I don't do too much for flat track stuff, mainly because most of them just slap a lowering link on it, since they never jump. I would NEVER recommend jumping on any type of lowering link, whatsoever. I'm sure people do it and have been fine, but I couldn't say "do it" in good conscience. On +8's for drag bikes, I shorten the shock 3/4", then 1/2" for every 2 inches of swingarm length to keep the bike at "stock" ride height. Yes you lose some down travel, but on a drag bike, 99% of people don't care. TL;DR = If you're not going to jump whatsoever, run a different link of some kind. If you plan for your tires to leave the ground, shorten your shock.

So 125 shipped? If so, PM me your paypal, I'll take them.

Estimated shipping to 92596?

Here's one for 10 bucks shipped... http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-TRIALS-ENDURO-ATV-RACING-AMA-ATVA-NUMBER-PLATE-7-X-10-MX-HONDA-XR-PW-80-/160785537011?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item256f9097f3&vxp=mtr

I would, but there isn't any room to move it on this frame.
