    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    ebay-yoshi pipe

    Yeah you lucked out, I got my under belly pipe when everyone was living high on the hog back in 06/07 and it didn't even come with a can, just a header and 2 types of mid pipes but it was NOS. Lucked out on my older yosh megaphone when I bought a fixer up 1k for 600 bucks.

    ebay-yoshi pipe

    i paid more a bit more then 355 for my yosh pipe a few years back. It only went for 355 now due to economy in the crapper. If you want a yosh pipe in nice shape you better have atleast 500 in in your war chest and hope you can get it for less.

    Help - aluminum, stuck to steel, how to seperate?

    now get some kerosene and toothbrushes and clean the hell out of that motor. Use the kerosene to cut and break down the grime, then spray it with some super purple to remove the kerosene and hose off.

    Help - aluminum, stuck to steel, how to seperate?

    get forceful, take a 2lb mallot and a punch or socket extention and really wack the collar a bit, try to get it to move some. You can always get a new collar if you mess this one up.

    you have access to to air hammer? if you do try a blunt bit with the air hammer, that should vibrate the hell out of it. Heat and penatrating oil are your friends too.

    GS550T, new cams?

    it's not worth doing cams on a 550 unless you have pistons to match. most of the cams requires biger pockets in the pistons for valve clearance.
