By all means Remember May the fourth.......

And this is the kind of non bike related stuff that turns people off. Bye.

On the other hand, you COULD click on where it says "more attachments" and do MORE than one per post. Lame. ::)

This one is a bit better.

That's not exactly the most accurate/complete diagram I have ever seen for the SR.

Ignition coil breaking down.

Agreed. It looks eaten away and the color doesn't look like clean aluminum as though a valve had just passed through.

HA! Been there....Done that. Didn't own a car from '82 till '87. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!

I think most use K-Y when their "fuckin". :o 8)

Well......Considering I did some time in the early '80's with Dunlop tires changing tires on anything from full dressed touring bikes at GoldWing rallies to TZ750s and factory Superbikes at AMA/CamelPro roadraces, I DO know a little bit about this. Bottom line, going tubeless on a wheel that...

Ah....you know of the other thing I didn't mention that makes it inadvisable. Wheel porosity. One other difference (and kinda a big one).......Manufacture. You can't fix stupid. You're right. But when one expounds the wrong advice to the point of excess, then one tends to get what they...

And here I thought "fucking twats" are what GIVE life.

It would be either on the old SR500 forum (http://www.sr500forum.com/forum/) or the old-old SR500 forum (http://xt500forum.boards.net/) relabeled as a XT/TT500 forum after the change to what is now the "old" SR500 forum. But this pretty much cuts to the chase...

Actually, there is and it was WELL vetted close to a decade ago on the SR500 forum. It was memorable because a few got close to getting banned over it. Short answer from all that, if the wheel doesn't say "TUBELESS TIRE APPLICABLE", then use a tube. BTW.....there's more to it than just the...

Thanks but, I'm good. I'm only 30 minutes or less out. (sounds like a Domino's ad :o) It IS cafe'd. But, you may be in luck. It's looking like I will have the GN400 done in time. Then again, I could bring them both. Just be glad my XS650 powered '88 FZ600 project is only in the mock-up...

Minn-Kota makes 2 strokes????

Naw....To close to "mockery" which I see to much of already.

None taken. I wasn't trying to say "this is what this is called and that is what that is called." I was just wondering what a representative example of each genre would look like now. I know what the old names use to mean and look like. So......Am I pretty close in the take away that...

I guess when I get my latest project done, I'll start a new style and call it a "Rocker". (as opposed to a "Mod") Remember, that's where "cafe' racer" came from, the "Rockers", as opposed to the "Mods", that rode Vespa scooters with all kinds of mirrors and headlights.

OK......While I didn't read every word of every post in those two threads, what I did gather was that I wasn't that far off. Most don't know what they are building anymore and will attach whatever name they like to it. Again, back when I started building in the '80's, everyone knew what a...
