One of the greats! Taken way to early. The saddest part is, we hadn't even seen his full potential. After he got sober he was getting even better artistically and musically. I still remember what I was doing when I heard he had been killed.

I've got the upper and lower with stem. no stem nut, and missing one pinch bolt on the upper. No upper bearing and the lower bearing looks like I left it in the mud for a year or two. I'm almost certain it came of my 86, but it might be off an 87. Its the convensional style you need though. PM me th...

Do you mean the lower triple from an 88 and older? (convensional) If so i've got one from an 86 (I think) It would need a little cleaning and I'll have to check and see what all parts are there, bolts ect. you pay for the ride and you can have it.

Yep, He's a cool guy also. All the guys that work for him are "A" level racers or better. They have a real good understanding of how a suspension should work. His neighbor is Brady Becker, He's kind of a 4 stroke head guru. http://www.fastcoremods.com/. His work comes highly recomended als...

Sent my forks and shock out for a respring/revalve a couple weeks ago, I've put on a couple pounds over the last few years so it was time. MCR is about 20 miles from my house so he was the logical choice, ( and all the local guys rave about his work). They were right! Less than 10 day turn around, a...

Cool,
I usually unlace them with a heavy duty pair of wire cutters myself . Sawzall can do the job also. I'll PM ya my info, Let me know what the final tally is and I'll get some $$ sent your way. (paypal ok)?
Thanks, Tom

I'll take the rear wheel (hub) if you'll ship it to Mi. If you don't want to ship the whole wheel I'll take just the rear hub if you want to unlace it. I'm gonna put the hub on an 18 incher anyway. Let me know.
,Tom

PS. Will the rear hub come with the rotor?

Man, thats a nice roller. Why are all the good rollers on the west coast? I'd love to do an 89+ project for my 88 motor. I love my beercan, but I also love the lazyboy-ness of the steely. And thanks Matt (superhoon) for the protapers (s). We might have to steel Grovers cape so you can wear it with t...

I'll take the Pastrana FMX bars. I'll shoot ya a pm with my info so you can let me know the final price. Paypal gift ok?

Where are you located? I'm lookin for something to put my 88 motor in.

I think I whatched an oem suck in right before my eyes, at an idle, warming it up. It might have been a verash (cheapy), I can't remember, it was over 10 years ago. But they both suck! cometic is it.

Steel shim Cometics dont suck in....

Yep, Thats what I learned the hard way. Cometic is the only way to go.

If you don't have layout dye, a good scale (ruler) or anything you can find that will lay flat (on edge), you can then try and slip a feeler gauge under it. I think .004" is the max in the honda manual but its been awhile since I looked it up. Also, I wouldn't use rtv. I think that shit acts li...

[quote= If this is possible it'd be awesome since the local carb parts place looked at me like I had two heads when asked and about dgn needle![/quote] X2 on that!

I'm in Bob!
Two needles, (your choice) richer than dgn, and one 40 pilot. Also gonna need your info to send $$$$$. And thanks again!

I know, it does seem like 38 would be lean, but it didn't like 42 or 40. Had to go 3+ turns on the air screw with the 40. As soon as the 38 went in it cleaned right up at 1/2 turn. Sounds like your using cheap-o, knock-off jets. Does it say "RD" on it, or does it have the Keihin star on i...

and at about quarter throttle it's surging a little bit. Everywhere else seems to be running good and clean 38 is pretty lean id get a DGM snd DGL I know, it does seem like 38 would be lean, but it didn't like 42 or 40.

Oh yea,
Will you ship em? and how much?

Hey Bob, I've got a dgn needle right now, in the 2nd clip position from the bottom (richer) and at about quarter throttle it's surging a little bit. Everywhere else seems to be running good and clean. 38 pilot, air screw about a half turn out, (depending on conditions) 172 main, the carb is a CPW 39...

Thanks Sean, will send email. I should be able to make a set of braces if I can't find any on the bay or something

stealer wants $5000 to $6000 to change injectors, you can do it yourself for about $1800 and 16 hours. thats why i love my ranger, if it needs more than $200 and 5 hours of work just light it on fire collect insurance and buy another.... I'm not sure the ranger will pull quite the load my silverado...

here is the radiator in question. happened about 8 miles in on a 30 mile loop. thought I was done, but just kept on eye on it and 70 ounce camelback for backup. :wink: http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd390/tomedmonds1/IMG_1849.jpg http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd390/tomedmonds1/IMG_1846.jpg

GREAT! Another mod to ponder. Thanks Bob!

I thought maybe the 02 up cr250 ones would work. all the new ones out there for 00-01 seem to be about $60 more per set than the gen 3 cr radiators.
Sean, what kind of shape, and how much? I'm hoping I can find a set that are pretty straight. This time around I'm gonna get braces, I think.
