Chuck Norris isn't hung like a horse.... horses are hung like chuck Norris. The giraffe was created when chuck Norris uppercutted a horse.... Both equestrian in nature, but hey, something to chew on....

Negative. :( I did, however, find a relatively complete hk1 with what appears to be 2 good fork ears I'm going to scoop this afternoon. Unfortunately those ears will remain with the bike. So I'm still on the hunt....

I do the know what year your Camry is, but that's a common issue... I've probably done about 40 of them over the years. Normally I blast the valve cover in the parts washer, dry with compressed air (the gasket channel), spray brake clean into the spark plug holes, with plugs still installed, and...

Yes, I know people sleep under the covers with these things at this point... they're highly coveted. I'm just looking for the left. Paint can be trash. I prefer not too rusty, and hopefully the top is still attached to the body. Let me know if you have one and what you want. I'm open to buying a...

Simplest system? Since you don't want to run an oil cooler, the options are limited. A member here, (fatcaat), or maybe more than one, have installed essentially "heat sinks" on the cylinder head. They screw in place of the valve lash caps, and Maybe even the cam chain cover. An oil cooler...

I would just like to add to this thread that I purchased an "led light up shot glass" from the same seller. It has two flat 3v batteries in it. Initially, I thought it was broken, as it wouldn't light up and I couldn't find an on/off switch... $2.44 down the drain I thought... I then realized...

I'm a bit dyslexic. Since explaining this to someone for the firs time, I can see how that could be misinterpreted. My bad....

I think too many people live in boston to ever get a story like this :( Nice find. Good for you!

Switching to mm might help. The piston should be typically .001" SMALLER than the cylinder when it's all new on something this small. Again, pictures might not show what you're asking. SEE MY POST ABOVE and inspect in person. You can use the D internal mic, and measure it at the widest point and...

Uhhhh.... what color is the one with he and his daughter on it? This one is red and says "largely unrestored".... maybe the picture is just dim but it almost looks blue.... am I suffering flourescent light poisoning? Just realized the image is probably a re color. Now it makes more sense....

+1. Also consider the fact that 4500 miles is how far you drive your car between oil changes, typically taking about two months of commuting. Granted on a bike that goes only 45, this represents 100 hrs+ (2.5 work weeks) in the seat, but still not the worst thing in the world. Aesthetics are...

He probably has ten of them. I grabbed one, but another sold by the same guy for one sixteen a couple days ago. Now I have a use for that Mitsubishi backing plate and coils....

Pictures help. Typically when deciding how much money to sink into a machined hole, I look at a few things. 1) top cylinder ridge: Where the top sompression ring stops at TDC in the pistons travel is a heavily worn are for a number of reasons we won't go into. If you see a noticeable ridge...

+1. If anything, in my opinion, it sounds like something may be contacting the clutch itself, like probably the detent assembly or some part of it. Personally (I don't use this method) but laying the bike on the left side and using gravity to hold the balls in place, and specifically the spring...

Old Ct is right that the machine shop etc has everything, but if you'd like to add to your tool repitoire on the cheap, you can get a dial caliper that measures to .1 mm. Not super precise, but surely enough to determine overbores, which typically exist in the .25 mm increments. This way you...
