Hi there,
I am asking for some help with my fork.
I tried to remove the tubes from the low end fork and cannot succeed.
I also got one screw broken in the lower triple tree and one broken in one of the low end fork from wehre we fix the fender.
I am on the danforth, so if anyone knows someone from my area who could help me with this, that would be fantastic.
Thx in advance riders.

Hi bradj,
How much would it take for me to clean your garage?

Hi 50gary,
Sorry, I am not familiar with all english terms... what do you mean by VM round slides?
Thx in advance
Cheers

Carburetors, Mikuni VM Round slides are very popular for vintage motorcycles. Nearly standard for an upgrade. They are easy to tune and offer good performance. Named round slides because the air valve (the slide) is round and slides up and down with the throttle cable.

...decided to put some rivet on the rusty tank....

Templier · Apr 15, 2014

Sorry guys, I have been on business trip across the country and the garage was stuck in ice for a while....
Update information
I have been working on my tank recently and having it completed.
I just need to find a good handy man (welder) to put some fine lines on the tank between the rivets lines....

50gary · Apr 16, 2014

Some fine lines? I would have your weldor give you an example of his ability to run very straight weld beads and to agree on the size of the welds. A test of sorts so there are no surprises.
Cheers, 50gary

I have to ask, how are you planning on sealing the tank with all those holes or is this just a display tank?

joevirus563 · Apr 16, 2014

+1... I think the fuel will seep trough the tank

Btw Bienvenu sur Dotheton de un de tes cousins du Québec

tu va apprendre beaucoup sur ce site. Beaucoup projet!

And now, back to english

Templier · Apr 16, 2014

eyh eyh eyh.... i did not drill the tank, just cut every rivets in order to keep just the head.
I used Epoxy glue to paste them one by one on the tank......

joevirus563 · Apr 16, 2014

OK so the black holes are just sharpies?

Sorry, don't get the word "sharpies".
The first picture shows black dot made with permanent pen.
Is that what you are talking about?

joevirus563 · Apr 16, 2014

Yep sharpies = a brand of permanent marker.

SONICJK · Apr 16, 2014

Carry on.
