    Dues ex Machina....feel like you've been sold?

    Nope. But I've always found it interesting to see what nice looks can be achived with little skills. Best regards Sven

    DWMS Racing XS1100 Big Bore 1196cc Engine Build

    Moto Guzzi Tracker from Germany

    Gute Arbeit, besonders wenn man die unselige Basis berücksichtigt... Der "durch die Gabel"- Scheinwerfer auf dem Motor sieht aber bei der Urban Motor BMW besser und logischer aus, ich denke auch daß hier etwas flach in die Startnummerntafel Eingelassenes besser gewesen wäre. Was mir aber...

    "Doing it Right" or "How to Build a Functional Café Racer"

    Sorry, according to your chart, pressure i.e. force applied to piston one (high comp.) is less/equal than the one applied to piston two. For given stroke resp. travel of piston, less force creates less work. So if operated at the same speed, cylinder one will generate less power. ;) Nice...

    Crank bearing install the easy way

    First of all, no need to put the crank into the freezer, unless you want condensed water on it when you put it out. Secondly, heating the bearings on the hotplate carries the risk of annealing them (guess how I know), it's much safer to put them into the ofen, where you can adjust temperature...

    Neutral? What Neutral?

    +1 if there's load on the gearwheels, it takes more force to get them moved, this is what makes you "jump" over neutral. Adjust clutch cable to bare minimum of lash at the lever (@ hot engine) - better? (I have no clue of Honda engines, but if the clutch is engaged by a steel rod through the...

    Making rear wheel safe....

    Yep, you got it, that's what's happening. Pretension gets lost, hence the bolt comes loose, and then vibes start to turn the bolt out. First loose, then spin. Not other way round. Certainly, worn threads in rotten aluminum won't allow to tighten the bolt properly. Consequences described...

    Making rear wheel safe....

    Sorry Hoosier, this assertion is a common but dangerous misconception! As you might have learned in your apprenticeship lockwire (and loctite) can only prevent loose bolts from falling off, not tight bolts from loosening. Nuts or bolts don't come loose because they mysteriously begin to turn...

    What would you do with this pos...

    I like that square edged design and the bulky cast wheels of the naked bike so I'd suggest some kinda resto mod. Best regards Sven
