    my seat in progress

    I can't believe how d-i-y-able fiberglass is, I was completely unaware. you've inspired me to change directions on my seat, fiber looks like the way to go. sorry for the pestering, but can you tell me 1) the best kind of mono to use for the mold 2) what you used to cut the mold into shape 3)...

    my seat in progress

    Hey, that is looking damn near exactly how I want my seat. I have to ask, where are you getting your info on working with fiberglass? any URL's you can offer? (also, where are you getting the materials from?)

    Where to get bearings for neck? CB450... Are they really that difficult?

    my gearhead friend who works at a local bike shop told me to toss the bearings and replace them as the stock bearings wouldn't pass safety these days. I don't really mind dumping $60 for a new set anyhow, but I am wondering if you guys were able to get the stock bearings safetied/

    snapped off a tappet cover...

    the engine is sitting on the floor of my apartment so that isn't the issue, I just don't know if you have to replace the gasket when you pop the cover off, both manuals I have don't say anything about it at all. I will have to skim through the soc4 forums, thanks for the suggestion.

    I'm in a pickle, I need quick advice

    it was $10 off at crappy tire, cost $100. the support bars are a little narrow and spaced a bit too far apart, but my god, it is making my life easier. I didn't get as far as I wanted tonight before I ran out of steam, so she spends another night in the hallway. <img...
