You'll do much better parting it out- if the top end is good you could get some good coin just for that

Haven't fouled a plug since 2004. I change them when the bike gets hard to start.

Maybe i should put up the pics of the EBC clutch I got 2 1/2 years out of with no problems and with the EBC springs- but that would be boring wouldn't it?

Nothing wrong with the ebc clutch

In my experience the chinese radiators crack pretty easily

Even worse is when you weld the wrong part in the wrong place

You dont want someone else's headache......

That's true to a point- if you have a competent mechanic split the motor and go entirely through it you can have a bulletproof motor- my 85 is testament to that.

Another frame breaker is not having the right bolts holding it together- if they are too skinny the motor will move around and shake it apart. My current frame I used regular width mounts so I could use the original bolts- real happy with that decision I haven't had to tighten them once in the last ...

Throw the frame in the junk heap and start from scratch... 150$ frames show up on ebay if you are patient.

Ive got one and by far it is the biggest dirt bike engine i have ever seen. I'll put some pics up when I finish with the lights and tank.

You can buy them super cheap- I will be running some hi speed races on it next year.

start spanking the monkey with your clutch hand

My uncle had the cracked head on his 1945 Massey Ferguson welded about 30 years ago. AFAIK it is still running.

You don't need to go crazy with the pre-heat, about 200F

5356 is superior to 4043 in every specification
4043 is not compatible with 700x series aluminum, which many believe these frames are made out of.

You can repair cast iron with stainless filler- that being said though I would not worry about it like others have recommended.

Looks better than mine, that's for sure. Just make sure you clear the tank before you weld it up.

I know a guy that puts that blueberry shit in his gas- when I pass him I always make sure to dab the clutch so it unloads a shovel load in his face.

I used to do the bel-ray uni thing, but I got sick of cleaning up the spoo that comes out of the air box. The residual kerosene on the filter gets into your bucket with the oil in it which just makes the problem worse. I have been using the PJ1 spray with good results- and a FLO filter which comes w...

The economy is killing them, they can't afford to send until the truck is full.

The problem with a dirty filter isn't that it plugs up- the problem is that the dirt draws the oil out of the filter.
If you get enough on there the fines will pass right through.

just a logical downscale of a 4t engine from the current twin cam 450/505

We'll see how logical it is when they pull this boat anchor from their lineup.

I've been wanting to get a ruger model 1 in .416 rigby and re barrel it for .338

Maybe it's time to turn in you 500

People actually have those things?
They're gayer than a miata.
