Looking for a solid exhaust for a 1981 Suzuki GS450L. Thanks. TDC

Thanks. I have some moly wheel bearing grease that should work. Just have to order up the oil seal now.

Quick question. What type of grease should I use for the speedo drive in the hub of my CB350?

Here is a neat way of keeping your zip ties from moving around on you and it gives them a neat apperance. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1431564069?bclid=1432781645&bctid=1485316005 I got this from the EAA web site here...

I like the shot of the red no. 5 midget. My Dad built those back in the 50's and 60's so i have a bit of a soft spot for them. Nice pics! Josh

Re: Boingk's Budget GS850 Have you checked out http://www.thegsresources.com ? It is chucked full of good info. There is a illistrated step by step instructions for rebuilding those carbs there. One of the members has this website also dedicated to the old GS's...

Well, if I remove the bags and bracket, it frees up enough of the thread to put a nut on. I would like to fix it eventually and make better mounts for the hard bags. I know this doesn't seem all that cafe, but i figured you guys have dealt with enough rusty bikes to point me in the right...

I just picked up a GS850L earlier this week to use for some light turing with my honey. I was checking all the nuts and bolts last night and managed to snap off an upper shock mount. What is the best method of repairing this? Josh

I imagine they replace the mount for the passenger peg. I wonder how the peg mounts in relation to how the passenger peg mounts used to mount. If that is how they mount, I had been thinking about making something like it. Josh

Is anyone using a se of the rear set adapters from Disco Volante Moto for the 350? I'm just wondering how they mount and what they look like on the bike. Here is a link to them. http://www.discovolantemoto.co.uk/rearsets/rearset-adaptor-plates/prod_22.html Thanks Josh

I usually put a little turning pressure when I use my impact driver. Helps me feel if it is turning or not and I feel it seats the bit better for the impact. Just my .02 worth.

This is the vintage weekend I am refering to: http://www.roadamerica.com/Races/RaceInformation.asp?id=3 It is the weekend right after the superbike weekend. Is anyone going to to the Crud Run in May? Josh

I'm just north of you guys in Plymouth. Drop me a line if you head up this way. I know the Kettle Moraine up here pretty well. Maybe go for a ride during the vintage weekend? Josh

What technique did you use for the jeweling? Josh
