NEW JOB???? You still an engineer? Or are you working as a switchman ?

According to Clymers, you CANNOT purchase these rubber boots. I tore one of mine, so I emailed a Nissan distributor. They said they do not support these single piston calipers. You have to buy them as a whole unit, except for the inner seals. If you do know of a place to buy these rubber boots, please let everyone here know. It would help out a lot since mine is getting full of crap everytime I ride it on a surface other than tar.

That is the single most awesome thing I've seen all this last week, well except for my wifes friends yellow lab running down the street after one of those blooming spinning fireworks flowers....damn dog ran after it and would leave it alone until it went out, and there I am on the edge of the road with a couple margaritas in me laughing until I thought I was gonna piss my pants.

HAHAHA Holyman...you need to start forwarding those to me.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only once did this happen to me, but it was because I didn't strap my banshee down tight enough. Bounced around enough to whack the floats out.

I really like how they turned out, but if you want to ask someone other than myself how they work ask BigBoyBanshee. He and a few others have a set, but I can't remember who else I've sold them to.

HAHAHA

Wasn't all bad... some of the hair never grew back and the scars tend to blend in with the wrinkles Seriously never mess with that stuff. I thought I would never hear again {don't get me wrong the neither reigons were of great concern too}. For at least a week when someone would talk it sounded like someone was shaking a dried bean around in a can. My buddy used to be a welder at a local mfg plant. One day some wise ass gets the idea to put acetylene in a Glad garbage bag. He filled it up plump, then as he was twisting the bag to put a tie on it, it blew up. I guess it melted the bag to the whole front of him. HAHAHA One day they got the idea to make a "gack" gun. Basically a large potato gun....on the order of 10" ID pipe over 15 feet long stuffed with boards, pieces of rubber floor mats, McDonalds hamburgers, sand, bolts, 44oz Dr Pepper..... BOOOOOMMMMM Shits flying everywhere, and he said it rattled dust from the rafters. Looked like a sand storm in the place. I guess the shift foreman threatened to fire 10 people on the spot right there, but he thought it was kinda neat. Just told them to not do it ever again. They also made air guns and shot rivets......THROUGH the sides of the building. They had no idea what they were doing at that place.

The reason why (for those that may not know) is they both come off of one coil, and there is only one pick up on the fly wheel. You would need a distributor or a crank triggered ignition with different lugs for firing the appropriate cylinder. Its just easier to fire them both every 180 degrees of crank rotation.

Amen to that. I've always done it the hard way. I have to get my frame to sit on the ground, then heave ho the engine onto some wooden blocks that are in the engine basket, then jack the frame up and put bolts in, etc. Plus I've always wrapped my frame in flannel, and there isn't alot of room sometimes and I've ended up digging the flanned out or yanking it out with a pair of plyers.

TORS bascially consists of 4 switches. One is on the parking brake lever One is on the thumb throttle One on each carb Basically they are ignition interrupt switches. If the thumb throttle switch gets connected (it makes contact when released) and one of the carb switches don't connect it chops the ignition. It really has nothing to do with how long you hold it wide open. It has everything to do if your carbs STICK open, and you release the thumb throttle.

I just read all 14 pages of that. Its good to see that much online comradery, but it didn't seem like there was much of a turn out at the protest... I don't think that would matter as there are about 400 million people that know about Al's in Washington. I think the people will now be protesting with their wallets. I thought the posts where people said they called and asked " if they offered a burn out with their service work." and shit like that were funyy as hell. I wonder all told how many calls and e-mails they got that day. HAHA...there's a shop here that needs that. One day......

I sell a laser cut wrench for that, that fits a 3/8 drive. Pm me if interested.

Thats how I dial in shit in the lathes. I have a 46 oz ballast hammer that I beat the f*ck out of stuff with to get it running true. If that don't work I have a brass hammer thats about 15 lbs, but thats usually saved for items that refuse to work, like a cell phone or calculator. Sometimes all it needs is one good whack to bring it in with a smaller hammer. I've had shit running out .010 and I can get it .000. Sometimes though you do need a gentile touch. Also you sometimes have to hit it towards the chuck, or loosen the chuck tap it around, tighten the chuck a little...spend all damn day on one part

Pretty much any soap will oxidize aluminum...aluminum + anything alkali = tarnish. Simple Green cleans it, but expect it to turn in some cases...brown. I use a light solution of dish soap (or hand soap no grit though) and water or better yet..Windex if it doesn't have big gritty shit on it, followed up with a light coating of mothers and a terry cloth rag. Its what I use on my side case. What I used to clean the cases though was ScotchBright greenie thing followed with some 400 grit. Just scrubbed it real well. They might get polished this winter. Depends on if I feel like it

Shit, that means I have to put this Margarita away. Just blended it too...... I'll just sneak it. No one has to know right?

Theres a place like that here. Layton Cycle. Back when all my buddies and me bought bikes, including rides for our wives we all told bought somewhere between 6-8 banshees there within 3 months. Not once has anyone there given any of us any type of courtesy. As soon as you walk in the door you are treated like an asshole. Well, my buddy just bought a new Kaw 636 and there were a few places he went. One place treated him like shit, another treated him very well, but he didn't even bother to check out this Layton Cycles. He knew they weren't going to work with him. The place he wound up buying his bike from was Vesco's in Brigham City. They even let him take one for a test ride!!! At Layton Cycle they won't even let you sit on them in the showroom.

Heh...humor me with what 30 is.....please..... I got 6 months.

ROTO CLIP SH-268 EDIT**** no it isn't....SH-275

THAT AINT COOL BRO..... YOU GUESSED IT, IM MEXICAN. why does it bother you so much? Do you have a green card? I could care less about bugs, spiders, anything of that sort, dont mind heights, or flying, or coming close to death. Before I met my girl and started being a family, I'd do stupid ass stuff all the time. Buying cars for 100 bucks and strapping a gas can to the hood with a fuel line running into it and slamming into trees and rocks and just beating the piss out of things. Hitting hillclimbs on my shee with ravine's off to the side and big lips at the top, rolling back down with my shee struggling to keep it from rolling into the ravine. Hitting jumps on my bmx bike as fast as I could pedal down this hill and just launching like 25-30 ft in the air.....clearing the landing by 15 ft and just bailing into the ground. I remember as a kid having this POS walmart bike (kmart at the time probably), and pedaling it down this hill where they were building a parking lot at the bottom and had this mound of dirt 6 or 7ft high.....just hit the thing as fast as possible and land with no landing....the bike only made it 2 jumps....I wouldnt of made it much more. My parents were pissed about that. The only thing I'm scared of is losing my family, or getting hit by a car at work and not be able to come home to them. Those fuckin foreigners with their little quiet hondas and foreign cars speeding past my truck in a development. I had to heisman trophy style on the front of this guys hood as he hit me at like 30 mph the one day, I rode the hood down a good 30 ft before he slowed enough that I went rolling down the street. Still dont know how I didnt get hurt. I've had so many close calls it isnt funny. You know how it is....you all are the other person.....you just want to get around the truck to get where your going. I've had people come so close to me that I'd be dumping my bin on the side of my truck, turn around with it and have it knocked out of my hand (I've done it a couple times on purpose, but not all the time). Sometimes on days I've had a few close calls, I just think about how I want to get home to see my daughters face. I'm crazy and dont care if I die, live it to the fullest, I just have to be a little more careful now that I have a family. I should seriously be dead by now by 10 fold P.S. Just had a helper hit the other day that was on a trash truck, he was walking a toter back across and she came speeding around the truck with her suv, put a nice big dent in the grille, he flew up over her car, putting a dent in the top front, causing the windshield to spider. She gets out of the car and the first thing she says is that she didnt hit him........later on when they were taking pictures she was being a bitch and asking if she should smile for the camera. People are assholes, and the job sucks when people dont respect your work area, and dont want to be delayed another 30 seconds and pass you on a blind corner or a blind hill. Alright, Im done with this topic.....I need to go ride...... If some woman hit me in an SUV, and I hit her windsheild hard enough to break it, and then as I'm getting up she says she didn't hit me? oh f*ck...I think I'd go absolutely nuts right there if my ribs weren't broke. kick the side of her door in and then say I didn't do it. Then pull the fucken valve stems out of her tires or cut them off with my pocket knife and say "It was like that when you stopped" Then start shredding the seats or stabbing them with something. "I'm not doing this by the way" I hate people like that. I have to deal with a few like that from time to time

OH SHIT!! Well, you found them now, put them in before you lose them or your dog eats them.

Shit man....you aint that old. I was wondering how old you were. HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!!!

So I take it you got it dialed in?? And yes, when is the next Roostfest??

Failure.
