If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    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.

    Mikuni BS/CV and VM O-ring Kits

    Without the special tools you made for the job, how difficult would it be to pull out the originals? What about installing the new, simple press in by hand? Could be a simple add on for me, especially with bikes I intend to keep so I'm interested.

    Preparing for retirement Dale. Not just the cost though sadly, space is a bigger problem.

    Mountain States.... John Day.... where have those days gone? Would be great to get something like that going again! PNW out of reach for me now sadly. You might be up for a ride SE corner to NW corner of the US Trevor, but that’s nuts lol

    I second Brian Dallner at bdesigns. He created perfect copies of not only VIN stickers but all manner of original stickers I've found on frames during restores for me. Takes the time to make sure his reproductions are flawless and cares enough to do it over... and over... and over until it is...

    Confirmation just hit my inbox, order has shipped. Think you're ok to order Chuck. I've heard good reports on their tank liner but I bet you're a seasoned user anyway. I read a long time ago that you use Caswell products Ed but I wish I'd found this info when I still had time to take action...

    Bit the bullet before Thanksgiving and ordered a Caswell copy cad zinc plating kit having heard good things about the company. Was hoping to tackle the project over my Christmas break but currently still waiting for the order to ship. First time I called (Dec 12th) they told me they were back...

    Anyone else excited about the start of MotoGP season?

    Well crepe! Guess he's going to be out for a while again. Can't say I'm a Marquez fan but I think he has/does bring something to the sport. Anyone going to Austin?

    Rossi is Out Of Action

    Yeah, hasn't been declared fit to race yet though and seems he won't be until he gets to the circuit. From what I read, VDM will be there to fill in anyway if needed.

    06 Triumph sprint st purchase

    Fabulous Charlie! What a great purchase you're going to have a ton of fun with that machine. Kids are off back to college in a couple of weeks so rooms are opening up! Quite normal for modern liquid cooled engines to run hot, you should feel the heat coming off my Honda. Talk about roasted nuts...

    Galvanic corrosion concern

    Good to know, thanks Greg.

    Galvanic corrosion concern

    Hoping the cold weld will help reinforce it as well. Never used it before but read good things about it, apparently it can be drilled and tapped if necessary when cured. That might be another advantage if it gets somewhere unintended.

    Galvanic corrosion concern

    This is what we found when we took the cover off, except for a damaged flywheel and the toasted stator we were expecting. The bolt in that lug was not torqued at all, there was enough goop in there to sink a battleship but it was still seeping a little oil. Unless there's a reason not to go...

    Galvanic corrosion concern

    Excellent point, no idea what material the stock bolt is made of. Maybe anti-seize is all I need to think about? Crap design by the way, no gasket! Shop manual says to use sealant goop which is how the lug got split in the first place I suspect. Goop in the hole, torque the bolt, split the lug...

    Galvanic corrosion concern

    About to attempt a repair on a split engine case boss for the alternator cover on a 2004 CBR1000RR. Planning to use a time-sert insert as I've had good results with them repairing similar issues. However, this one is likely to be in the presence of oil most of the time so I'm wondering what...

    GS850G 1981 with runaway throttle... scary.. whats wrong with it?

    Few years back I did a time sert in a stripped plug hole on my 250 without removing the head. Never had any issues with it since, plugs have been out many times without issue. Use lots of grease and clean shavings off regularly. Take your time and you should be fine. When I did mine I was told...
