Hello all!

I am looking into upgrading my 38mm PWK Air Striker with a Stic metering block.

Are there any US or North America suppliers for these?

I was browsing Google and ran across the Tokyo Offroad site/store. While looking at the pictures I noticed "Made in the USA" milled clearly into it ...

Hello All!

What are the best reed valves available now?

I noticed that Moto Tassinari released an updated V-Force 3. Link: https://mototassinari.com/vforce3/motorcycle/honda/v3170c.html

I have an older V-Force 3 and never really noticed anything special about it. I also remember many bad posts ...

Found the setup with carb and reeds for $685. Is it really worth it? Roostius, in what way does this change the power delivery on an otherwise stock cr5? I'm looking to upgrade the carb, pipe, and reeds on my newly acquired 97. Figured it is worth asking about while I'm setting it up.

Does this help the low end/off idle power? How much would a setup cost?

Yea, im sure it has been plugless for quite some time. Guess I need to tear it down and put it on ebay, so I can begin gathering conversion parts

paid 125, but he owed me a few hundred, so I figured I have 450 in it. I think thats a good deal.
Whats a 250 engine worth these days?

nice, thats a lot newer than I thought it was. I bought it today, do these things handle pretty well compared to the other gens? I am for sure putting an 87 500 motor in it. Not sure why they were bothering with the 250.

could you repost the pic of that tire glen? it seems to have disappeared

who said anything about need? lol
We put some good beer in when we got out to a store, he was just testing me, not a bad time though

A couple years ago in our school appt, 2 pints of natural ice, it was pretty cold and I just woke up, so yea I had to cough a little bit. It's a good way to get a game day started for sure.

nope, not till now lol.

now that is a good idea asteroid, ill do that friday after school, and I will get a picture if all goes well, but I have a feeling the code I am seeing is bogus. Not all vins have 17 digits, I have seen 14 digit vins before on import cars/bikes. Hell if it is a bogus number then it cant come up ...

a drill press and some clamps worked for me on an 87' case...

yea it could be hot, but that is the only number on it, how else could i tell the year and model?

I found a roller for my conversion, it seems to be a 4 stroke chassis and the guy who has it was in the process of installing a 250 2stroke. I am going to buy it because he only wants $150 for it and the 250 engine and they all are better than the steel. The decal that normally says the model and ...

What's up fellow hoons? My name is Thomas, I am from Rockmart GA. I own/ride an 87' 500, 92' 500, just sold a gsxr750 powered 87', about to build another one and a beercan of some sort as well. I am a senior at Georgia Tech, Mechanical Engineering major chemistry minor, I look forward to talking ...

yea, when he told me a 16 front i didnt believe it, but when i got a look at it it is big and i counted all 16, it dosnt have any markings so i figured it to be custom or somthing, thanks for the advice on the gearing danny

I have a 14,13, front and 48, 53 rear to play with, it currently has, get this, 16-40 :shock: , guy I bought it from had it geared to supermoto or somthing. Ill start by trying 14-48, since you suggested 14-49, I rarely need to go over 75-80 anyway, but it was fun to buzz up the road a couple times ...

the 4th and 5th gear helped out my topend pretty well also, guess i can put the stock sprockets back on it, im probly seeing triple digits with 5th toped out, got some good ole watery eyes on it earlier

this one is probly as old as 92', lol, or whenever they changed the name from fat boy, finish isnt that great any more but no holes or dents so ill let it ride, i kinda like that extra hit on the low end, it is Real close at the reed block but it dosnt hit

got it back up and running :D , I used the thinner late model head gasket so combined with the scallop-less cylinder and the 87 style head it is a hard kick. It is considerably harder hitting than the 92 motor that was in it, prolly due to the fact the other was worn out, or the porting on the 87 is ...

Ill be using the newer reed cage, air boot, air box etc. The 92 chewed the piston, spit some out the bottom ruining the cases. I have this mostly complete 87 engine, cylinder was just bored 20 over with new piston. never put the 87 back together because the covers are the usual rotten magn so I will ...

Drilled it and it pressed right in with no cracks, guess I got lucky this time :shock:

So, should I go with the 92 head on it then? anyone know the approximate difference in volume?

:o , didnt think about the reed cage flange being longer. 8mm (or .3149 inches) difference according to the parts ...
