Sonrier, First off I have not yet seen the post you are refering to, but I do agree with your approach of the situation. As long as someone has something constructive to say, Im all ears. I do not even mind if you give me your opinion on a personal prefrence I have chosen (ie. maybe you hate my...

I wish all forums had this approach. Being hazed into a scene will likely make someone, who down the road could have been a great contributor to the community, run and hide. I never understood the elitist attitude of some forums, and more specifically some of its members. We all have something...

Motorcycle Handling and Chasis Design by Tony Foale

HAHA, Im not following that! Your stuff is awesome Jimmi, just awesome.

When using the frame as earth(ground) it will light up the tester, assuming the other lead on your tester is touching a positive line, all positive leads need to be isolated from the frame as not to short the set up. I dont know what other bikes you are in the garage but I would bet some dont...

What do you mean the frame is lighting up the tester? Remember that your frame will be grounded so it should have continuity between a positive lead and the frame. Measure resistance of the coils to see if they are out of range (procedure is in the manual if im not mistaken). Also I had a set...

Re: '77 CJ360T (Café SOS) - Head and Valve Work in Progress - Expensive Mistake Sonreir- Ive been off the board for a few weeks and just caught up the last 5 pages! Just wanted to let ya know there are plenty of us following the thread and although we cant be as helpful as good ol' PJ we are...

Thanks Max! I took her out for her inaugural ride out of the neighborhood. I went about 15 miles round trip because it was 45 degrees here and raining. I am truly surprised with the amount of power this little bike has, now that it is running properly that is :) With some minor tweaking of...

Pitboss- I liked my first ones also but I wanted the bike to run to the best of its ability. The general consensus was to use a longer more restricted set up than the short dump style I had. I used some leftovers to make the two in one on there now and eventually I will order all the material...

Re: CB550 Cafe Been following for a while, this is a super clean build with a lot of little cues (the devil is in the detail for sure) Coming along very nice. P.S.- I just stole the pic of the mini and the triumph from your page, I think that's the perfect garage, with the perfect adornments!

Some updates. First off, PJ is THE MAN. Got my carbs back and they brought this bike to life. I had some minor issues with it still sputtering out around 4500 rpms when I got them back on the bike but with MORE guidance from PJ he told me to start looking for a breakdown in my spark. I ordered...

Andoor, I agree, I have scene quite a few diagrams with different color leads. Not to mention when I went to my bike, most of my wires were indistinguishable from dirt and years of neglect. That is why I just re-wired it from scratch, it was actually much easier than fingering around with...

I think I am running a 12 gauge, doesnt seem to be much trouble. But, bigger is always better in those scenarios.

Re: CB550 Cafe What is the specific fillet you are going for? I usually just ground some HSS for a custom groove or radius.

Clint, Bike is coming along, cant wait to see her on the ground!
