I'm thinking no, but figured I'd ask. My carbs were cleaned last year by the previous owner, but I let it sit through the winder and I think that caused the float bowl gasket to dry a little. It leaked quite a bit then just a lil after a couple runs. I tried taking the carbs apart, but damn...

I bought some VHT engine paint in the spray can, but I want to just touch up some spots. I was thinking of spraying it into a small dish and then using a brush to touch up, but what about bbq paint that is made for a brush. Has anyone tried that on the engine. I'm thinking the spray can might...

I painted the exhaust with VHT 2000 degree paint and bought some VHT header clear coat. I've read for other paint jobs to sand the paint to smooth it then do clear coat. Is the header the same? I'm guessing super fine sand paper to smooth it out then clear coat. Would I just wipe with a...

I just painted my headers aluminum colored paint. It looks fine, but would be nice if it was smoother. Has anyone painted then added clear coat to give it that finished look? I just painted today so maybe after it cures and I heat it up a few times it will wear smoother with a washing. The...

I took off my headers and they were super rusted. I sanded and made them pretty smooth and I'm going to paint with header paint. It's rated for 1300-2000 degrees F. It doesn't mention using a primer. Does anyone recommend priming headers even though can doesn't call for it? If so, should...

It has Kerker exhaust and header. It's got quite a bit of rust so I want to take it off and sand it and paint it with high temp aluminum color. My questions isn't so much about unbolting it but more how to pull it off after. It's lowered so I imagine it would need to be jacked up. Has...

I have an 85 vmax with stage 7 carbs. I bought it from someone last summer and he had the carbs rebuilt and it didn't drip then, but I let it sit over the winder so 5 months. It starts right up. All 4 carbs drip gas. I can see a float sticking but all 4. I tapped on the inside side of each...

I've read articles and seen some nice pics where people used high temp spray paint. Just wondering if there is any high temp paint that can be used with a brush for just the small paint chips and hard to reach areas.

I'm going to go over the engine and just touch up where there is scratches. Can I just get engine paint and retouch or do I need to primer the tiny spot first? Not sure if there is even touch up paint like there is with exterior of car paint that can take high temps. I can spray black onto a...

I have clutch drag so I'm just bleeding to try to eliminate it. When I take the cover off the master cylinder and pull the lever, fluid shoots out the top. I'm thinking this shouldn't be the case. But please tell me if that is normal. When I bled the brakes it didn't do that. On all the...

I've owned a ton of bikes, but I can't seem to find an oil window or dip stick. I just bought this bike and it is modded out like crazy so maybe there I should be checking there is a pressure gauge mounted.
