Sounds like you must know a lot about all of these issues. Thanks for sharing the information about your experience.

I would not say,"Because we're all full of shit, to an extent." WE all have had different experiences. It is not that some people on the internet are right or wrong. It is how much experience they have had. Example: Someone says, So and so is very experienced because they have welded 6...

If any readers of this forum have actual experience with tuning these Honda PD style carbs 1977-78 please give us your results. But make sure you give us all the facts not part of the facts. That is not helpful. What is needed is : Exhaust type, intake type,engine modifications from stock other...

I basically agree with you. Airflow is slowed down when it has to go around bends in its path on the way to the engine. The airbox does help to have a undisturbed volume of air once it is inside the box. The jetting of any particular part of the throttle range will overlap into another part of...

Many mechanics at motorcycle shops do not know anything about carbs. Some do. A lot of 60 year old guys know all about them, But i doubt you would talk to those old fuddy duddy's. Anyway there is a lot of confusion and misinformation on this forum and others about jetting and carbs. If you put...

You mean YOU never get out what you put into it. But we can try. "You said," asking too much man, sorry." But you did not give us any details about why you did not think he could get that much. When you sell a motorcycle the buyer only knows what you tell them. You have to go into detail and...

Brake fluid will take the paint right off!! Just some Armor All silicone spray.

You have me laughing now!!! LOL....lol...lol

Dealerships can charge anything they want.

I like the sound.

My first accident in my life was just a few months ago. I came around a curve in a road and there was a car stopped. It was a young woman on a cell phone. All the other cars in front of her had left, she was still sitting talking on her phone. I could not stop my one ton van in time even with...
