Oh yeah Mike, like he needs another project?!
I have not so much as started her since I got home. There are some chores that need to be taken care of first. The road WAS quite noisey so I did...
The setup: '81 650 Maxim 25k miles, 173mile trip to Eureka Springs, miles and miles of great twisties, two up riding the whole way and great...
I've got a truck and the bike. Winter or summer, nice riding days I take the bike. On the <30degF days, or when it is raining? I still take the...
I just uploaded pictures of the caliper. It looks like the PO of this caliper (Not me! This is actually off a different bike..) twisted the piston...
Anyone want pictures? http://picasaweb.google.com/danieltturn ... directlink Let us know your thoughts. There are a few pictures of...
I think I found a tank, but it does not have a sending unit. Anyone have one they do not need? Also, would a 650 cap work on the 750 tank? Petcock?
I also have a 650 tank. Let me know f you want pics.
Given the option, I will never sleep on the ground again. I will say that it gets a little cold in cooler weather, mainly because you compress the...
I Wanted: Parts for an '82 650 Maxim. After doing a complete tear down of the bike, to rolling chassis status, I have decided some parts need to...
'cept that if no one can see it, it is hard to decide If we trust your engineering, or like the design. Is it removable? I.e. How long does it...
My 81 max does not do anythng if the kill switch is set to stop. My 82 will spin, but no spark.
Maybe check for continuity between the TCI connector and wherever those wires go elsewhere on the bike? Also verify the connections in the...
Pictures? (max of 500x500 pixels)
Hoping to go take a look Monday or Tue night... thanks oddball.
After HOURS and HOURS of prototyping and drawing I have yet to come up with something I like. I have decided to try a different method. I see two...
stereo... I may be interested in the windjammer and rack. Email me pics? daniel.turner at tcfus dot org.
I would love to have the wheels..
Many of the 750 secas, iirc
And when you come back, find this thread and reply to it!
Next week is my time to shine. Going to Dayton for the Hamvention. Some say it is the largest amateur radio convention in the US if not the...
In my neck of the woods they will not allow a riding test in the rain, nor will they test immediately after a storm due to wet roads.
I am working on a simple, no weld, bracket for some ammo cans. Here is a very rough sketch http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/qq ......
There are many things that YOU can do while riding a motorcycle that can cause you to crash. Experience and practice help prevent those things....
A few weeks ago I pulled my '82's carbs and put them on an '81. runs great, needs some work, but they are compatible. The 80 and 81 are very...
Don't use the larger tank, sell it to me instead :) (In other words, I think a larger tank = better.)
Checked progressive yesterday. $95/year. That is almost 1/4 what Geico wants... And I used GEICO.com! It is pretty cool, but it would be nice...
So you are going to make us wait till then?!
WTF cly_adams... I pay $33/mo with no motorcycle related tickets (one speeding in the wife's car a few years back). That is with Geico,...
If you chop it up, what are you going to ride while working on the new one?
I know for sure that it is unscrewing from the gauge. I guess I should verify it is not loose on the other end also. The bike has sat for awhile,...
I have reconnected the tach twice now and the nut keeps unscrewing. Should there be a lock nut? maybe time for some locktight?
I can actually see all the lights, but I do have problems reading the tripometer at night (as I found tonight). I want to make new backgrounds...
**And to top it off, my battery isn't holding a good charge, making diagnostics painful at best... That could be your problem. These bikes...
not trying to hijack, but: baking soda in a sand blaster? Could it really be that simple?
That was my thought, but I could not remember, for sure, if it was mechanical. I am home now, time to do some reading. Thanks.
I am on a ride right now. Just a quick trip to skiatook for dnner with the inlaws. Part way here my tach stopped working. Thoughts? This is on the...
I am able to fit two carb bodies in the can, if they are on their sides. Make sure you mark them so you can tell them apart when you pull them...
Poor connections in the headlight bucket or fuse box could also be the problem.
Just a few thoughts: (no links because I was browsing on my cell phone) 1. Saw a seca 550 barts bike on the tulsa craigslist. 2. Saw another...
Doesn't stop? Is that "doesn't want to stop running" or "hard to slow down" ? If it is option #1, maybe it is running HOT? Like, pistons glowing...
Metric screwdriver... That reminds me, I found a place the other day that has a real good deal on all kinds of metric tools. Do you have any idea...
It IS thin, only 2-3mm thick :) Pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/danieltturn ... irectlink#
Took her for a ride tonight, after the dang locksmith took two days (three trips to his shop) to get a key made for the tank. Very sluggish at...
BigFitz, I could not agree more. IIRC it is only about $3k to get one shipped from 'over there' (plus the bike's cost!). I bet it would be...
All this Kroil talk almost makes it sound like an internet joke. The kind of thing that is too good to be true. I'm just waiting for the "I...
There is a DIY powdercoating forum ran by a powder manufactuer. There are lots of plans for a DIY oven. The two most common elements I saw...
I hooked the airbox up and #3 and #4 are hot. It doesn't idle as well, maybe an indication of rich idle? Pops a little at high RPM. I'll...
Simple, two bolt removal of the starter. Once pulled you could take it to an auto parts store and have them test it. Or simply connect it to a...
Also, These carbs worked fine on my '82..
