    Living Room Build - Notes on taps/dies

    Well, shit. How big of a deal is this really? I've already cut threads with a non rethreading tap. And the set I just got in is the wrong kind. Here's a link for a Craftsman rethreading kit for anyone coming later... http://www.sears.com/craftsman-40-pc-tap-and-die-set-master/p-00952105000P

    Living Room Build - Notes on taps/dies

    Good points. Always good to have the right tools for the job. And thanks for the tip on taps. Are there any ways to differentiate between the two? Yeah, I was wanting to mention that. Someone also recommended that to me, but of course, I didn't listen. I think I put paper towel in there, but...

A few more tips on tapping, 9. A toothbrush works wonders for cleaning off the goopy crap when you pull the...

    Living Room Build - Notes on taps/dies

    Re: Living Room Build So rethreading is proving to a bit of a challenge as most places around here don't have the dies that I need. I got taps though and have been working, thought I'd post a few things I'd learned, might be useful for anyone out there looking to do some rethreading... 1...

    xj750 Cafe

    Yeah, what caferay said. Adjusting the rake and trail of a bike is a really big adjustment that should have some thought go into it (not saying you haven't). Definitely effects rideability if not safety as well. Maybe you've got all this covered, but just wanted to check.

    Living Room Build - Notes on taps/dies

    Re: Living Room Build Hello everybody, Been a while. Hope you are all well and your bikes are even better. About a month out from graduating from college which means I have a good bit of time now and will have even more after May 10, so I figured I'd get back in the swing of things and see...

    Obligatory, "Bike won't start thread"

    Howdy gents, Been awhile. In the final stages of my CL360 project and for the life of me, I can't get the thing to run. I've verified the essentials, fuel, spark, and compression, but still nothing. Checked timing chain and it's on perfectly. Have yet to check spark timing, but could that...
