Hi Nick,

Too bad about the bike. Looks like there's no hope for it. Too bad about you too, but there's lots of hope for your full and speedy recovery (well, the ribs will take awhile). Here's a ...

According to Dropbox, the junk after the question mark (i.e. the rlkey parameter) is what contains the permissions to view the contents of the link under their new security scheme. If you leave it ou ...

Apparently, the new link format Dropbox rolled out sometime in June is causing problems like this for lots of people and while Dropbox does appear to be working on this and its tech support people are ...

That gets a little closer, but not all the way. (BTW, I am using Windows 11 and Microsoft Edge.) The result of your suggested edit is that the submitted post shows an icon for an image and the word ...

Has Dropbox recently changed something about how photos are shared and/or links created? Or am I just f'ing something up?

I have lots of dropbox photos in prior posts and if I edit the post and co ...

I just bought and installed one of these from e-bay: [url=https://www.ebay.com/itm/401558907484]CB1100F Petcock kit

Seemed to work fine.

So are you becoming a permanent Maineac?

Some time ago I began working on a fuel gauge option to go with my ComboMeter which already includes a voltmeter and optional ammeter and oil temperature displays. (I don't really need a fuel gauge ...

For at least 6 months, my local post office has said that Australia is not accepting mail from the US and so they decline to take my packages. (They do admit there are some mail services open, but th ...

Damn, George! As soon as I heard this I started making you a new valve on my lathe, but it looks like your docs beat me to it. Hoping for a speedy and complete recovery for you.

Be good,
Peter

How much of what you were doing is legal in CA? Here, lane splitting is illegal, as is riding in the breakdown lane on a highway. Had you been here in MA, that cop you passed would certainly have pu ...

If your route takes you through Tulsa, wave hello to the three houses I lived in as a youngster. And wear your masks as I hear it's infected by something.

At what point will you offload the bike a ...

My guy in MA charges $75 a hole for boring and honing from stock to 72mm.

I love these stories!

I think I wanted a motorcycle from the day I was born. Anytime I heard a bike, my head would turn and you could almost hear whimpering as from a young puppy. But growing ...

Holy shit. That's some printing error! How would one spot that they had a misprinted CBX FSM?

With the exception of the piston rings and sleeves, the internals of that motor are probably fine. I think you would be looking at $500 or more to vapor blast those parts (cases, covers, head and cyl ...

At TomK's suggestion, I have equipped myself to begin doing vapor blasting for our local and extended community. Vapor blasting (with glass bead media) puts a unique finish on parts that is suitable ...

I installed a 4 into 2 system in black. Fit was OK although not without some minor adjustment to pick up the oil sump bolt holes. But I am definitely NOT impressed with how the finish is holding up. ...

Everyone who has ever spent time in the areas you are going will now become your self-appointed travel agents. For my part, I would not miss: Muir Woods just north of SFO where you can see a stand of ...

I now have completely abandoned my idea of weighing the tank. I can see that you have gotten around the odd-shaped tank problem using a fuel level sensor. If I understand you correctly, with your in ...

I'm probably going to be using this when the time comes however I won't have stock gauges.

As near as I can tell from looking at the Calibration procedure they give in their user manual, they w ...

I agree that the NEED for a fuel gauge may be vanishingly small, but it sure would be nifty. How about when you fill up the tank and then forget to turn the petcock off reserve? It can bite you in t ...

Whatever you do, don't be tempted to slap a plate on the bike from another one and then drive it anywhere. I did that in CT with a van and a sharp-eyed cop pulled me over. The tickets for misuse of ...

Hi everyone,

Here is something for you engine builders. This control box will provide most of what you need to start and run your engine on a test stand. It will also help you evaluate the condit ...

Just for the record, I think the the EPA ban is on retail sale and consumer use of methylene chloride which is NOT the same as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Acetone is often used as a substitute solvent ...

I'll just give up, order another one and then end up with two rubber tank pads.
...

No worries. If that happens, I'll but the extra one from you--assuming you're referring to the rubber pa ...

I have to update my thread. Langys: not intending any fun at your expense, but search this site for "Oil and Kittens" for a hoot.

Thank you to those who responded to my question. Clearly many of you thought I was looking to buy a tank bag. The real reason for my asking was a closely guarded secret, because I didn't want to end ...

If you ever ride with a tank bag, I would love to have the following info from you (the more detail the better):

1. How much does your bag weigh ( Dude. Your TANK bag.) when loaded with all the s ...

I'll be there.
