Does anyone know a good resource for purchasing bulk packs of wet sanding paper? Harbor Freight carries only a few grits in bulk packs. I need a range from 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 2000, and 3000. Just tired of getting reamed for 3 lousy sheets of wet sanding paper at most auto parts...

I have a freshly rebuilt and bead blasted cast aluminum carb. Is it advisable to use self-etching primer on the bare cast aluminum carb body before a top coat? Stock color of the carb is satin black. Thanks, John

Sorry if this a duplicate topic. I have a 74 Yamaha DT360 Enduro carb that I need to paint satin black (stock color): 1. Anyone know of a decent rattle can paint that is fuel resistant? 2. Does priming cause issues when the top coat is exposed to any type of fuel exposure? Thanks everybody. John

Any or all Cafe Racer bike owners who would not mind having their bike(s) featured on a prominent online publication.... Please PM me with photos of your bike if you live in the Tri-State area — New York, Connecticut, or New Jersey. I would like to photograph as many bikes as possible. Thanks...

Holy crap. The mad scientist ;) Thanks, and welcome!

Curious, what was your method for polishing?: Sanding: What grits did you use? Polishing: Tripoli, then end with white rouge? Thanks for any tips, the parts look awesome! John

Thanks. That's an option!

That seems like JB weld. The fender I have is solid yellow all the way through. Just wondering if this stuff dries white? Would look crappy with a white "vein" in the plastic... Basically, I'm going to glue it and clamp it overnight. Thanks.

Have a cracked front dirt bike fender (yellow plastic). Any strong plastic adhesives that don't expand and are clear? I know there's Gorilla glue quick set, BUT they never mention plastic on any of their product labels. Sketchy. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, John

I TOTALLY agree! Nice post. I work in advertising and I hate that identity by brand. I HATE HDs, or more so the people that ride them. I live in a small town in the country and these white collar half wit "riders" come down main street with their LOUD MOFO pipes and their wives on the back of...

Nice ride! Where did you buy your red fuel line for the bowl drains?

No reply whatsoever (over a week). Fucking nimrod. Oh, BUT she has time to post on Instagram as of 49 minutes ago. Went with Pirate Upholstery who does work for Paul Jr. and American Chopper. They emailed me back the same day and already have leather samples in hand.

Bike is looking excellent man! Thank you for posting! Best, John

Do you happen to have her work number? I've emailed her 2X since Sunday and no response. Thanks.

Cool, thanks!

Is this upholsterer responsive? Does she check her email on the weekends? Curious. Thanks.
