Jim, if you buy that KTM diesel, I suggest we transplant one of these into it:



So that you don't have to post about it in the 4-stroke blasphemy topic  (550 2-stroke > 690 4-stroke)

  I see it, too. On the mainshaft, there appears to be two gears facing each other, their dogs engaged. It's that way in the assembled-in-the-case picture, too.

I had forgotten about the RD car! Above that is a TZ500J...right?

The soaking routine worked very well and every nipple unscrewed without incident. Last moment as a TDR wheel assembly:



Got an Excel rim from my new best friend Mark (not that Mark) that I like better than the YZ item; it's much lighter and the color match is pretty good:



Excel on the right, with the sticker and TDR D.I.D on the left. And what it'll look like once the spokes get here and we lace:



Yeah, not the most dramatic transformation ever! Moving forward...
2.50x17, 36 hole D.I.D gold rim for sale!

  they do two different things. Also agree that if you're only doing one, get the emulator

Fought it for almost two hours last night; I think I'm going to just drill the damn thing.

It sounds like fun, but I can't get away that long this weekend

I made a boring bar out of an Allen wrench. Then reground it into a tool to cut an o-ring groove.

It's been a LONG time since I ground a lathe tool, but I think it needs to look kinda like this:



And it's still too big to fit in the freakin hole.  More grinding.

All due respect, as I don't know the guy, but he sounds like a "friend" you're better off without 

Yes! That's the article

I didn't get his name, but he and that lovely motorcycle were at the Tiddler ride Dennis and I did this summer on Vashon island.

I love these pictures! None of them are me/mine and you may recognize yourself or your bike:

I wish I knew how to resize this one

Excellent find! 

I have an old magazine article somewhere, a comparison test, that rated stock Canadian model pipes more highly than a couple of well-known aftermarket pipes. Best for real-world street riding, as I recall. Somebody wants 'em. I have too many sets as it is, or I'd be, uh...how much did you say you want for 'em? Asking for a friend!
