has j&rs.

'like it rolled off showroom floor'.

ive done similar, cant remember which bike. is the screen THAT fragile? it does sound like a good plan though. have you tied speed and sport iin pA? they have plenty of oddball NOS stuff. it snot cheap, but might be OK.

No problem. Updates and upgrades do odd thing sometimes. that should be the last one that may negatively affect user functionality for a long time.   

all,
there was originally a redirection issue with the domain not pointing to the forum, this should be rectified now (has been for a few days).  the WP thing was added software i put on to be able to do more with the site (ie: notice the banner up top). However, the software is designed to grab the domain and it re-assigned the IP which screws up the redirection. Im working on it.
also, since i added the WP software, it says it takes about 48 hours to propogate. 

Murray P has all that info, not sure what his username on here is this go around

wasnt sure whether to stuff this in the 'other' ebay thread, but maybe somebody here thinks this is worth the money. I dont, i think hes about 2-3k over realistic. Is that an XS650 tank?  all that and the stock turnsignlas.

rfys are 'ok', i have a set on 2 bikes, one being an R5. icon is good, as is hagon as well. .02

also, occasionally redwing nos rd shocks come up on ebay, ive run those as well. stock looking slimlines, but good performance.

its a pickup to trip the coil in the switch to turn the signals off . you may have fried it applying voltage, not 100% sure.

we'll rebuild it again. 

good grief thats nice! 

Posting this for Lyn Garland, looks awesome:


This is about an event sponsored by Barber and WERA in conjunction with the WERA race on the weekend of 29 June.  It should be pretty interesting.  I am trying (hoping) to get my Spondon 350 and my TR3 prepared for the event.

in my experience, by feel, anything OVER 30mm carbs that the motor actually needs will benefit from larger reeds in a notable way. its not as much about total flow volume, persay,  as it is about the volume over time affecting the ability for the reed to close back up between intake strokes. more reed area = more cfm per mm of reed lift. IF the reed opens a shorter distance, it can close faster. by giving more reed area, this is achieved. this definitely helps in responsiveness and crispness as you aren't blowing mixture back out the reed waiting for it to close when the piston starts to move back down. this is why the steel reeds, IMHO, work well on stock to mild motors with 26-28mm carbs. they snap back faster. single petal or ported reeds with YZ petals seem to work well up to 30-32 mm carbs depending on state of tune of the porting and how much is flowing through them (with a direct affect on how far the petal has to move).  therefore, with double the reed tip are as on a v force type, it only has to open, in theory, 1/2 the distance to equal the same flow, therefore closing 2x as fast (again in theory) which gives better rideability on bigger carbed motors.  im sure it will help the crispness down low on even a stock ported motor to some degree, but probably not enough to even feel.

   

as an addendum: the reeds did fot (rm100 ones) without the spacer, but didnt run well. my suspicion is that (especially) with the double reed tips, the flow just got all jacked up as the piston went down and pushed the mixture up past them to the boost port w/out the spacer

ive run jjh needles on my aircooled motors as well. 150 main as a start, 42 pilot, needle in middle. might need to go one lean on the needle.

fyi, ds7 carbs are 26 as well.
