    Michelin Road Classic tires

    I coughed up the $ for mich road classics for the Kat (100/90 and 130/80). They are a good looking tire and the compound seems pretty tacky touching them once the release compound was removed (haven't ridden them yet). Not looking for milage on these as the kat will be a sunday show piece...

    BS34 to BS34SS Swap

    you can also try putting the carb body in a ultra sonic cleaner, preferable a self heating type. If you don't have one try to become friends with a small automotive shop that may, see if you can use theirs for a small fee. the heat and the shaking may loosen the tip, no guarantees.

    1978 GS750e Yoshimura Racking Exhaust - blocks oil drain plug - ideas?

    You just remove the exhaust, that is the trade off running a yosh. Keep your exhaust stuff clean and anti-siezed, doesn't add that much time to the process

    1000SZ master cylinder rebuild order

    so i put it together like the "new set" photo shows. I stuffed the gasket into the cup like the "old set" shows. It's building pressure and not leaking so i would assume i have done it correct. Lets see what 24hr says. I pull a early model MC a part and confirmed seal edge direction, even...

    Part number for steering stem lower dust seal gs1100e

    Got the dust seals. Both the OEM and allballs seal look like they could work, the suzuki seal ID is a touch smaller then the stem OD but can be fixed quickly with few file passes or dremel. The allballs seal ID is a touch bigger then the stem OD. The OD of both seals is fine and the bearing will...

    82 kat wheel color

    to leave them unpainted or not is the question. The color change is so subtle that it's a tricky one. The good news is there is no moisture in AZ so i don't really have to worry about corrosion. I'll see about taking a pic of my blasted rim just to provide context. PM sent gs scott

    Hi Scott, it would be great if you could take a few pics of those wheels in full sun light, but not direct light and if you could wipe em down with a rag first to get the true color. If i do go the route of painting it's going to end up being a color match job (more info the better) Email is...

    When i pulled my triple apart, (oem stuff) there was a shim and a dust seal. 2 different item, plus the bearing. I ordered a all balls kit and also cross referenced that kit with a 2005 gsx750f that uses the same kit, and pulled it's parts fiche. That bike listed a lower "dust seal" so i order...

    Part number for steering stem lower dust seal gs1100e

    I can't find for the life of me a part number in the fiche for the lower dust seal, i found the shim but not the seal. Mine was ruined when i pulled the bearing. I already have the bearing so i don't want to order a allballs kit if i don't have to. -R
