    Maryland Motorcycle Laws Summary

    I moved to Maryland last year, I'm 15 min south of BWI. I found some decent roads between Gambrills and Annapolis. St Stevens Church Rd is the one I start at. Not as nice as my favorite 20 minute ride back in Idaho but nice. Low traffic and decent curves. I'd be willing to run it with someone if...

    Changing the cylinder head on my 2006 FZ6

    Ok am I the only person wondering what happened to need the cylinder head replaced. And I have no personal knowledge but I thought somewhere on here they decided the intake ports were to different on the r6 head to work with our intake system which up must use due to the frame design. But a few...

    Anyone used these for their pod mod lights?

    Seems to me you'd have to disassemble the headlight to install them. They look like they bolt through a "plate".

    Rear Axle Nut Removal

    Yep a few years in full time Mechanic work and I don't pull out the torque wrench unless the valve cover is off. I've never used one CCW, and on the lugnuts I don't have specific car but I've heard several times that Chrysler products in the 60's and 70's did, like Chargers and Road Runners

    Rear Axle Nut Removal

    How ever rare there are times you may need to apply torque in the opposite direction. The only one on my mind right now is Old Mopars that had the lugnuts directional to the sides. and there are engine pulleys that are left hand thread.

    Ok I have to say your almost countering yourself there, your right Pros tend to have to work on several vehicle a day, and some of them are total junkers and some ride like a vault.

    Help! TCP cowl painted in Dayton oh?

    Good paint cost money, the time difference between painting a fender and a side of a car is really not much difference at all, the painter applies the paint then on a small item like that has to wait for the paint to flash off to put the next layer on, so the painter and his booth can be tied up...

    I really wanted to go to the Victory demo day here but it got cancel due to weather and I found out about it to late on the reschedule. That said I did make the Yamaha ride and after a ride on an FJR and an R6 I was happy with my FZ6. The FJR seat was to wide made my hip feel spread out and the...

    Painting an S2 Swingarm

    Depends on the type of paint gun but almost certainly a 1/2 pint should do. With a good HLVP gun less then a quart painted the back end of my brothers car(trunk, 1 door, Spoiler, back bumper, both quarters) after it was rearended.
