Re: Gun Blueing the Gas Tank Havent been in here in a while. Time to work on my projects lol. Anyways, I work in the firearms industry and have to say that a blued bike would be a NIGHTMARE!!!! Bluing is a form of rust. Any oil, any fingerprints, any moisture is going to rust QUICK. Just be...

huh. ok. There is a thick green wire visible tot he right that is attached to the frame. Man this thing is pretty frustrating haha.

So I fried the wiring harness about a month ago and even when it was fried, the headlight was on (for example) Well I bought a new wiring harness, converted over to blade fuses and put everything together carefully using a wiring diagram (Kind of hard to screw it up when everything is color...

I just got the jacket I've been wanting for a long time. It's an Alpinestars Drift and I love it except that my arms are a little stubby or it. The elbow protection goes from forearm to just the edge of my elbow and its rather unformfortable where my arm bends as the jacket isn't designed to...

I never heard about this before but I believe it. I bought my cb750 that was a nasty green color and its been bad luck since I've had it.

HAHA! You all are so silly. No I didnt cut myself, the underside is red and I have no experience with fiberglass. What would be the best way to prep this?

Re: Cyclexchange.net Not a good place to shop Well I've never stolen a damn thing in my life but if they try to accuse me as such, I'll definately make a claim through paypal. Also, if they want to make such a claim, why wasnt there even an invoice in my box? It just had butchers paper, seals...

***got a hold of them today. I jumped the gun a little. Lately people have been trying to rip me and my family off a lot (dad has alzhiemers so people especially in the automotive insudustry have been trying and some succeeding to taking advantage of them) so this really sent me over the edge...

Picked up this little gem while I'm waiting for parts to come in to fix my cb750 Handles like a dream, starts up easily, and actually stops! I hit the ton this eavening which I havent done in a long time lol. I need to name her, thinking a Japanese name.

Yeah I'm calmed down more. Had to walk away. Actually thinking of buying a newer bike so I can take even more time with this project that way I still have something to ride and also have something to get away from when I get really frustrated. Sometimes I just want to look up all the people who...

rebuilt the master cylinder, rebuilt the caliper, replaced all the lines. I thought I bled it right and today i was bleeding it but nothing but fluid comes out, no air, just fluid. Its been gorgous riding weather almost all winter too which is like one of the few reasons to live in socal.

Cool. I cant wait to get this problem fixed now. I doubt it was the wiring that was causing the fuse to blow. It was to be in the switch at the handle bars, starter magnetic switch or the starter (doubt it) Funny because I cant wait to fix this problem so I can fix the fuse problem so I can fix...

HAHAHAHA that actually makes me feel better Mr E. Least I know I'm not alone. Tim, I'll give you an update on the quality of the product when it comes in, I dont think it should take very long to hook up the wiring, the worst part will probably be the rats nest in the head light but I'll just...
