    Step in flywheel

    Is everyone running the standard .020 step in their flywheel or are you going bigger? I was reading on Marlin's forum and it looks like some guys are running .025 - .026 for better "holding power".... :hhmm: Stepped flywheel resurface

    Check your radiator caps!

    So a little background.... My wife wanted to take the long weekend and drive down to her grandma's house. Since grandpa died last year, nobody has done any maintenance on the house so I had a little "honey-do" list to take care of. We live in Vancouver, WA and her grandma in San Jose...

    Motorcycle forum move.

    Mr. Woodster, I Noticed you moved the motorcycle forum over to a new home. Is there any way you can keep it the regular mud colors just in the motorcycle forum? It's easier on my eyes to tell if I've already been in a thread with the brown/tan than the green/gray. If I'm being a vag, let me...

    CT90 AGM battery upgrade and Fuse block write up.

    I'll combine these two since there's really nothing to the battery upgrade other than the mounting, and you can see them in the same pics as the fuse block. The original battery had two "hot" wires out. One fused, one not. I wanted to add a plug in for a hard wired battery charger, outlet...

    CT 90 spare gas can holder

    So I went down to Walmart today (on Dieseldog's '84 CT110 of course:D) and bought a one gallon gas can with the fancy spout for my CT90. On the way home, I was thinking of what I could make a carrier out of. It needed to be something I had laying around the garage. You'll see in the pics that...

    Best spot to mount brake controller?

    I want to mount the brake controller today, and was wondering where they are located for those of you who have them in your 80. I bought the prodigy brake controller. Here's where I was thinking: The first place is 60º, the directions said not to go over 70º, so I'm good there...

    Hey all, I'm in need of a tow hitch for my wife's 80. I'd like to find one in the greater Portland area, or greater Spokane area as I will be driving up there in a few weeks. I'd rather pick it up cause I'm a cheap bastard and don't want to pay shipping;)

    For those of you who have dogs...

    Have any of you had luck teaching your dog to crap in one "area" ? What's the best method? We don't have a huge back yard and with my wife doing day-care out of the house, it gets to be a pain in the ass keeping up with the crap. We don't want to send the kids home with their shoes...

    Preferred RPM for York

    Does anyone know if the York cares what rpm it's running...obviously not 10 or 10,000 :flipoff2: I've searched with no avail.
