    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

My 79 gs1000L bobber project is almost finished, but the carbs are the last thing to be done. I've got a set of k&n pod filters freshly cleaned and oiled, just the head pipes no mufflers, now I ordered a jet kit off eBay, so how aggressive do I go? Any recommendations?

Can you still get Dynojet kits for the VM 1000s?

Last I checked, yes. But really, he doesn't need it with VMs. I'd suggest mains around 127.5-130 area, clip in the second slot from the bottom. Give that a shot. Fuel screws 1 turn out, air screws 1.5-2 turns to start. The VM needles are not only adjustable, they're pretty fast as far as the taper goes. He might get it pretty close without a kit. I had my cafe dialed in pretty good by hand jetting it. Lots of trial and error. And it's a bitch to have to resync every time you adjust the clip. But it can be done.

Haha Im pretty sure the neighbors are okay with the noise, Ive got a 110HP VTX1800C with mean mothers exhaust with no baffles, theyve never said anything! I ended up with this 79 GS1000L for $50 from my friends dad, pretty sad shape, but I thought it would sure be a waste to let it rot and so Id make something out of it. Ive never messed with anything like this before so its definetly a learning process, thanks to the people who help ;)

You assumptions are wrong. Your noise bothers your neighbors. If you got the balls to go ask them ...I got ten bucks that says they dont like it.

Good luck with the Bike....and the neighbors.
 
Neighbors and noise

Neighbors and noise

Well, the lady next to me is legally deaf and the couple that live on the other side have a Harley, we've already had the noise talk and it doesn't bother either one of us or our wives. So noise wasn't the reason for the post, it was to find out who had any recommendations or suggestions for the bike. Honestly my brother inlaw lost his job, had to sell his bike so I've really considered giving him the bike when it's road ready. If anyone can throw more advice and less ****, send it my way, thanks!

I owe you 10 bucks :o. Sorry, I dont know a lot about carbs. Like TCK said...lotsa trial and error. I did that to a KZ650. Two shops adjusted the carbs and never got it right. I like stock air boxes.
