    "RATTLE CAN" BLING! ...everything is here!

    I'm painting my tank satin black. I have the primer in and a nice finishing coat of the satin black on. Do I have to clear cost it too? I like Darin black because it's less shiny, but last time I painted a tank, gas stripped the clear cost and paint right down to the primer. How can I...

    VM34 Tuning Help

    Hey Pete! I still might get Vm32s and sell mine. Right now I have it running well on all throttle positions, but I need to have the needle on the second to top, which makes around 1/4 throttle a little lean. Im going to order a leaner Needle Jet, so I can drop the needle clip a position with...

    VM34 Tuning Help

    Thanks rich! I think maybe our VM34s might have came the same, I had to get a leaner on the Needle jet right off the bat. They came with 260MJ, 2.5 slide, 6DH4 needle, and Q2 NJ, which made the entire mid-range rich even at the top needle clip, regardless of the MJ. I then got P6s NJs which...

    VM34 Tuning Help

    Thanks for your input. I wish I would have got the Vm32's,i mistakingly thought 34s would be good because there the same size as the stock carbs. Unfortnatly, people are usually only looking to trade for smaller VMs and not 34+'s. Im gonna try to make these work, and if need be switch later(at...

    Ooops, that was a typo. yes the GS450L has a stock 16" rear. I have the STOCK tire size from the other GS450 Model which had a stock 18" rear. I want to use these shocks, but ive never messed with shocks, Im wondering if you can compress them to the stock 13" length...

    Bigger wheel, bigger rear shocks?

    Thanks, it is a much bigger wheel. My stock GS450L had a 19" Front wheel,and 13" rear wheel. I took the wheels of a GS450E (i think) which had 18" front and rear. The frame,axle and spacers and everything is the same for the two bikes. If I order longer shocks the pair I posted the link to...

    Bigger wheel, bigger rear shocks?

With the new rear tire, the tire gets very close to my battery etc.. under the seat when going over a big bump. So I guess I need stiffer or longer shocks? The stock shocks on there now are...
