    Carburetors from the grave

    Interesting info about the needle valve seat. I know for dirt bike carbs they cost a packet to replace. Lucky I keep all my old parts, will try out some drill shanks.

    What can you do in your garage with a Nighthawk?

    Looking good. Got any more "after" pics? Those bars look really really wide, but might be the camera angle.

    1998 CB400 Super Four

    So not much has happened latety. My drunken parts orders came in. Most people attribute lack of progress to work committments, family issues or illness. Mine is due to some kind of mental illness. I keep on buying cheap bikes. I have gone in 50/50 with a mate on a KTM 520, a '91 Honda...

    Brass tubing fuel lines..yay/nay

    Another option would be to use regular automotive tubing, bend it, shape it. Then take it to get coated. Check out what type of coatings an electro-plater near you will offer. All the looks but with no loss of performance. Still the flexible end connections apply...

    Chance to expand my garage (!) - need some framing advice

    I don't know much about snow, but is the reduced angle of the 4' wide green beam enough to make the snow fall off? I imagine that's why the existing blue roof has the steeper pitch. If the snow accumulates between the green and blue you might be having some flat bikes. *note I live in a...

    Garage Poster - 4 stroke

    I like it, but agree with the comments above. Sorry, but WTF does that mean? :o If you think all 2 strokes are scooters then you need some re-edumacating. Possibly a good smack in the face with an expansion pipe. Will give you benefit of doubt, but you better be explaining yourself.

    Harness help please

    +1. Also helps to know how much of a dummy you are. Did you order a 73 Honda harness for a 76 Kawasaki engine? Devil is in the detail and you gave none.

    Running 1972 Yamaha AT2 with no battery

    The one you linked was 20 uF. The spec Sonrier suggested was 15,000 uF. Are those numbers the same?

    Simplified Wiring Digrams

    Ok. Cool. Thought I was losing it. Maybe you can try using autocad. The components can all be embedded jpegs, and then you can connect the 'wires' using lines. Each line could be on layers, so you could hide the turn signal layer, or hide the charging layer. That way you could have a bunch of...

    Sonrier, sorry if I am being slow, but when I read the first pic it looks like the neutral light is connected to the R/R. What am I missing?

    Clip-ons too big

    Analogy time : Say you are at a bar, and a hot chick grabs you and drags you back to her place. She rips of your clothes and you are about to do the wild thing. So you reach in your pocket and grab a dinga. But it is way too big for the gear you are packing. Just as you are about to slide it...

    4x18 Front and Rear

    Technically you are wrong ;D The USA made Rokon has a top speed of around 20mph. Which is what the original poster may achieve if he proceeds agains good advice. Do you want to drive a tractor or a motorcycle? ;)
