Looking for a source for carb kit with diaphragms, for a 1978 SR 500.....dealer pricing is CRAZY.

Ehhhh.... I do not have the capital to play word games with the insurance company.

Check with your insurance company before installing a wood stove in the garage...I just had to remove mine, (in Maine), after having it for four years. Would not have known if a friend told me that it was "illegal", called my agent, said no wood heaters in garages were allowed, asked about...

I miss Robert Kubica.

Wicked clean look.

I wonder if the main stream American rider will accept a kick start only bike, @400 cc's I think most entry level riders will desire electric start.

Aaaaand notice the beautiful blue silicone betwix the case halfs.....looks to be my first total rebuild.

But I think someone has been here before

Yessir, RCR, rubbed it in real good....got the shop to 65 today, not to bad, just the wood stove (it has a magic heater in the stove pipe, which helps). Went to Home Depot today and got insulation kits for those three aluminum heat exchangers I call doors, on clearance too! Installed when I got...

Hoosier, we used to have earlier generations of that style heater at work. They had a pilot that was lit, then the pilot heated a capillary tube that had to reach a certain temp before the main burner would go. Thru a copious amount of heat though. We would have to tent off pieces of...

I saw a youtube vid at one time that had Nicky Hayden and Friends on super motards that was over dubbed by the song born to slow , by Crystal Method. When I want to get cranking, that is the song I start with

Re: Hip, or h*****r...You Decide... I find the same issue with the wood stove, spend all of the time stoking it or huddling beside it. Got a magic heater just recently from Northern Tool, fits in the stove pipe, works pretty good...wood stove keeps the pot of kimchi warm for supreme leader....

Mr Yinzer, I have a great affection for the RD 350, as it was the first motor cycle I owned. Up to that point, a friend had a CB 350 that he let me ride on occasion. Imagine the difference when I went to the used bike dealer and test rode an RD. The sales man warmed it up for me, and then told...

Hey, thanks, Mr. Cookie, a build thread will have to wait, as I am no quicker than a three toed sloth. I am not timed by a stop watch, but rather a calendar. Mr. Ard, here is the story of how these mechanical heartaches became mine. About 15 years ago, a fellow at work said he had a cycle he...
