Joe and I have ridden together many times. He used to love the Bear Mountain area near me and he would ride 2.5 hours from his home to ride with me and @ShoopCE, then ride 2.5 hours home. I am so saddened to hear of his loss.

...and what happened to "The shiniest headers South of the Mason-Dixon line"? :)

Good to see that some things are getting back to normal. It's amazing to see how far the canal swelled. The light pole tells a real story about the amount of water you had to deal with.

I hate hearing this :-) I have had some experience tuning Subaru's using a tool called RomRaider, and I would love to look into tuning my FZ6. I started casually looking into the Megasquirt a year ago and am itching to give it a try. I usually wait till the urge passes, but hearing it again...

I remember the problem when clutch material got dislodged and worked its way into the gear train that drives the clutch basket. I wonder if there is some debris, clutch or otherwise, that has packed its way between gear teeth? I don't think this is the case, but I am just noodling on things...

Get a bar and a towel. At the very least it it frees up your foot and allows you to use body position to your advantage. Anything will do, just wrap in an old bath towel.

Make sure you un-bend the metal flap that is hammered against the flat on the nut.... If it is still stuck, hit it with penetrating oil and let it soak. Do this a few times if needed. Did you say the chain is already broken? If that is not the case, get a metal or wooden bar ( I use a...

As we get older, I find it helpful to express our age as anniversary of our 25th birthday. So when someone asks your age, you can tell them that you just celebrated the 35th anniversary of your 25th birthday. With today's math proficiencies, hardly anyone will figure it out. :)

Happy 25th Gary :)

I purchased the Dominator in the 'New GP' style in January. Ordered on 1/9/22 and shipped on 1/27/22. Took a while to arrive but overall there were no problems with the purchase....

If you are comfortable removing and reinstalling the S1 swingarm, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the hardest, it's a 0. At the time I reused my stock shock, and the hardest part of the whole job was removing the collar that goes through a boss on the swingarm. This comes off 2 ways...

Geesh Scott. Had us all holding our breath. Good to hear from you.

Actually I think I found it. Under 'Chassis Tightening Torques' in the manual, they list the 'Front Frame to Rear Frame Upper' and 'Front Frame to Rear Frame Lower' as an M10 thread and a 30 ft lb torque.

I am going to remove the sub-frame for painting this off-season and I wanted to see if anyone had the torque spec for when I reattach?

I emailed him earlier in the week. Also routinely try his cell. Still getting a fast busy. What a mess.....

PO welded in a y pipe with no mufflers. I have a drilled out stock exhaust I might part with if you need.

With IAN bearing down on Florida, just hoping everyone in the storm's path can do what they need to and stay safe.....

I mounted a new set of Q3+s on 8/23. The previous set ran for 9,020 miles. For the record, after removing them I determined that they were 500-1000 miles overdue for a change. They were thinner than I thought they were . And there is only 1 thing better than a new set of tires.... a new set...

...better yet, get that annoying kid in the neighborhood to help :)

Pick up my journey at post 208. I used FZ07 coils and I did the terminating myself. If I recall correctly, the connectors are 'Furukawa FW 090 2 Pin Female Connector FW-C-2F-B'. I am an experianced crimper, so the wiring was now an issue...
