Yeah the 85 has 15mm bushings and the newer stuff has 17mm talk to AJ at Service Honda he hooked me up with a set of the newer style bushings. I don't know if he's got any more laying around but he would be the one to ask because like others have said you can't get them as a separate part. Here's a ...

Mine did the same thing when I installed an after market clutch it seems to be that the total pack thickness is sometimes just a little different even on the nicer more expensive clutch kits. I just put another BB in mine as I have the older style bottom ends (85 and 86) I also had the same problem ...

redrocket190 whats the valve life and adjustments like on those huskys? From what I'm reading on the pumpkins you need to adjust the intakes at every oil change and the exhaust valves every other change. So 700-1000mi between valve adjustments that doesn't sound like much fun to me. That would make ...

I am thinking about getting an 08' I've read till my eyes bled at thumper talk seen a few bad stories but mostly good reviews. Anyone here have any experience with them? My daily ride would consist of about 15 miles of rather poorly maintained gravel roads followed by highway and inner city riding f...

Another $10 headed to you bigjay hope that you get it going again.

Very true lots of examples of that here.

I bet you wish china would start making top ends and gaskets and such. The price would be just right for ya'

Guess the other site can't call Bobs place the anti SH/AJ site anymore :lol: :lol: I don't think its EVER been an anti AJ/SH site, Ive pointed out some shit looking welds and then all the problems with the SH ignition (electrosports issue not SH). I aint got anything personal against AJ and I don't...

:cool: :cool: I think thats awesome that you've decided to sign up here AJ, definitely took some balls to come over here. I'm sure you've noticed that its alot more open and opinionated than the other place. Ones things for sure you'll here the truth about any question you ask and people will give h...

Tadiv did you notice how he did the same thing to Eds97 in that thread you just posted in over there. He was saying he could get a 450 almost as cheap new. Hows that any different than you saying that theXR cost less than he was asking new.

Also if it is using water and the oil becomes more milky you should start suspecting the seal on the water pump shaft, it may be letting water into your bottom end. Try putting a catch tank on it to see if you are boiling it out that's a strong possibility with the high motor loads in the sand. I wo...

Has been on my work computer for awhile now too even before bob put in the joke of the day thread which was before this thread.

on the price.

Talk to a professional who does this for a living, I am just running my pie hole. What is a pie hole anyway? Well I would consider this site to have more professional CR500 types than any where close to me. A shop here locally is a US chrome rep and I have a motorcycle, ATV, PWC degree but I can't ...

A "Rosco Built" ,tight clearanced Weisco motor that I know of just squeeked... I think .004" is the way to fly. Even in a plated cylinder? What if you were going to run a cast piston? Would you run the same piston clearance that you would in a cast iron sleeve? Every Wiseco I've seen...

I would not even attempt o a run a Wiseco less than 4 thousands on any steel set up. I do not see where whatever you lay down on top is going to make a difference the steel will still have a different exspansion over the aluminum on a alumminum sleeve you can run as close as 2 to 2.5 thousands from...

I also believe that plating the stock iron sleeve is the way to go for the average rider. I posted about this awhile as I have a cylinder ported by Eric Gorr that is on its last bore. I think I'll be going through US chrome and they quoted me about $300 to plated over the stock sleeve with NICOM. Yo...

Don't be suprised if you see a copy of your build with that swing arm on it. I don't know what I'm going to do with it Nebraska but after all the reading about how awesome brits bike is I've got to have one.

Great stuff!!!!

Funny that you posted that up, I just saw it a couple hours ago and was going to post up about it until I saw your thread here already when I logged in again. Definitely interesting especially since MPS has a motor for sale on ebay right now and is still advertising its conversions there too. Don't ...

A guy here in Az might be a good choice, his name is Jerry Hall, and he knows alot about that shit. Also LA SLeeve might be a good place to call. That's all I can suggest, but if either Loomis or GSS do that stuff, you can be sure it would be done right. I've heard of Jerry Hall think he's been men...

I'm looking to the get cylinder re-plated on my 250 and I'm throwing around the idea of doing one of my 500 cylinders that is on the last bore. Anyone have any recommendations for me? Does GSS or Loomis do any plating or have someone specific that they work with? I've heard a lot about NI-COM being ...

You might try PMing AJ on the other site he's got them laying around and sent me a set for free awhile back. Then all you would have to do is drill cases like danny said and the newer style bushings will drip right in

That would be awesome. Is there any issues with it hitting the chain since its so wide? Let me know what you find out on the shipping.

Yeah I do like the looks of that star cross but they don't offer it in an 18" least not that they are showing on bike bandit

What happened to your right side carb vent hose? Not on there in the clean or dirty pic?

Yeah the one like lewisclan posted is what I had seen posted up before. I am looking to get the most traction that I can without running an acutal paddle and that terror-flex looks like it would fit the bill pretty well. Slomas also said an uncut MB-5 is good stuff any other opinions on how it would...
