Man, i got issues. lol. 

.. what do you have your eye on Simon? you know what i have. Im just curious.

ah.. the good part.

Nice.  I cant do TV in the garage or drink, that's for afterwards, to me. Prob has to do with being a mechanic years ago in shops? I don't know how anyone does it TBH. ( i know i'm in the minority). 

thanks guys. I did hit 3 digits on the way it, a small wheelie and generally offending the public in various ways on the commute. Life is good. 

Also, Tim sent me (an un neccesary but very much appreciated) upgrade to my ratchet strap collective, the super dope self retracting ones. thanks tim :)

.... do those have that plastic housing that runs up the side of the carb body? can't see it on the pic. they are NOTORIOUS for warping and leaking air.  would be on the opposite side of the cable wheel. there was a TTR225 i worked on years ago that had one that would leak like just enough to completely fuck the idle and transition circuit. IF i remember correctly, has an o-ring at either end and it screws to the side of the carb body.

thank you Gents.    

watched a guy in a car blow right thru a 4 way stop-sign intersection today in semi-rural south carolina. I was on the CB1100.. they are everywhere.  Ive driven in LA, fuck that in anything aside from like a Killdozer or similar.

 

IMHO it doesn't matter. i've never had this issue unless the preload spacer was too long or the wrong parts were in there. somebody did some 'creative' shit to the 70 R5 and one was way longer than the other and used to do this. stuffed regular RD internals in it and swapped the tubes and haven't had an issue since. It's not a common problem on rds unless somebody was mucking about in there.

exactly what I said yesterday in another conversation.

agreed. and you definitely would have heard it kicking it over

the top out springs aren't in the 400 forks... but they are in the xs650 ones. just as a point of interest.

ver possibly will. id love to have it but im slap full.

dude has high hopes IMHO.
