ya know..for a long time I had hopes that Mike was just having a rough patch and would make things right but the proof is in the pudding. You don't take vacations and do renovation projects with this kind of crap going on. Also it seems Mike has a lot of toys he could sell if he wanted to raise some...

damn these are in my back yard too. If I had more room in the garage and if that lying bastard of a president and his boot licking liberal cronies in congress had fixed the economy like they promised I would buy the one with the stock forks.

PVL's have been around a long time and have a pretty good track record in replacing points ignitions in vintage bikes with electronic. I replaced the fried motoplat (electronic, not points) in my 490 maico with one and it works well. the pvl flywheel was about half the weight and smaller diameter th...

Mine has the PC pipe but I got better low end (or maybe just better throttle response) when I did the 38mm airstryker swap but I also put a carb wing I had laying around from a KTM at the same time so I'm not positive which did the most improvement. I remember that when I added the wing to my alread...

the slide cut away regulates the amount of air drawn over the needle jet at about 1/4 throttle. If you ride a lot at partial throttle openings like I do (semi tight woods) it does have some effect. If you whack the throttle open most of the time you probably wouldn't notice much. My gut tells me a 6...

nothing to do with porting but Glen sleeved my cylinder, supplied and drilled a wiseco piston with rings, chamfered the rings and filed the ring end gap, ported and polished the exhaust manifold, very nice work for a very reasonable price. I discussed his trail porting over the phone with him, he as...
