How much weight will this add to the trailer? as much as i would like a wood floor, the weight for me is prohibitive ( i have a much smaller trailer as well, i do need a bigger one eventually). I just added better wheel chocks than i had on mine before. also moved the fenders out a few inches as mines not a deck-over-wheel, but it tows really nice. i can actually squeeze 2 on here, small one in middle to back.

yeah, its hard to find around here now, anyone that can do it that small. The local shop that does automotive was going to do it with  connecting rod hone machine they have, but got backed up and it sat there for 6 mos, which, i get. so i sent it elsewhere. 

The shop that did do it was way the fuck out of line price wise though, I sent it thru my local guy, and it was so high he refused to charge me any markup. to the point, he also wont use them anymore (as he also was rebuilding heads for him as well). he got invoiced $300 to bore those. thats insane. I would have been 'ok' w 100 a hole my cost, due to adding a middle man, but ffs.

its fine. I bet they are old kawasaki s2 or s3 coils, they are the same but black. or they are lucas coils. either way, they are OLD so tread carefully, they may not last.

they the round ones? emgos, which are actually replacements for 60s British bikes from the 60s, sold as 'high performance'. I hate those things as they might fit but its always a hack to get them in there.

^ the testing procedure is correct above.

Turning Wrenches / Re: Looking for Shock Treatment
April 25, 2024, 02:57:42 PM
i'll be honest, looks a lot like the TZR shock which i replaced with an r1 unit. i just swapped out the stock spring on the tzr shock onto the r1 body and it worked great. not sure if that's an option here, i did try to look up what that shock crossed to, and any info, didn't see anything. Im sure yss makes something what will work but no idea what.

the triumph scramblers had a 270. ive heard of it being done on 2t twins for dirt applications, it gives a 'pause' between 'power pusles' tot eh rear wheel to aid in traction.
