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?

Tool & Die Designer/Machinist for a plastics company. I get to design everything I make, which is kind of nice.

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

+1 on the 90 degrees between grits. I have used a bucket of water for wet sanding. Makes for a good pastime while sittin on da porch. Watch out for blisters using this technique though. Josh

That's good. Should have mine on the road in a day or two. Maybe see you at the vintage races at RA or at Rockerbox. Josh

Wow! 80 bucks? That does'nt sound right. He has always done right by me. I've gotten other carb parts and they were nowheres near retail prices. Josh

I'm in Plymouth. Josh

Here is a heat sink I made for my Radio Shack rectifier. I couldn't find a sutiable heat sink so I made one. It will mount like the old rectifier in the bracket, so it solves the mounting issue. Enjoy! Josh
