The best way is to open the tubes from the top, remove the spacers, (thin tubes of steel) and cut them the desired lenght or repace them with shorter ones. If you take this aproach instead there are no risk that you break so hard that the fender/wheel goes in to the radiator. But I strongley...

Well Volvo never made a 2-cylinder version of the 200 series. I belive its an ashtrey from a caddilac extremorado -84

I have been riding both Harleys and different Jap bikes. "custom" to racebikes. There are assholes in every camp. I always wave everybody, nomatter what I?m driving. Many Jap-drivers did not wave back when I had my harley running, when I?m on my max, many harley riders dont wave back. Well...

Hi, my mufflers look like nd4topspd:eds ones, they sound nice but I want more. Looking in thru the holes with a flashlight there is another "wall" a bit in. What will happen if I drill trhu that one as well? I would have dragpipes on if it was not for the fact that I love my stock mufflers, they...

:eusa_dance: I have a pair of six-pot callippers laying around, been thinking about doing the same thing. Looks good man.

Sitting on the other side of the world. And hearing about a mabye leader of USA that wants to sit down and talk to his enimies instead of trying to bomb em to kingdome come. That fills me with hope. Less bombs and more conversation will make the world a safer place, not only for poor people...

If you get it for 8 USD a gallon here in Sweden its cheap. Its almost up to 8.80 / gallon. But I dont complain, there is something f**ked up with the weather - I dont need to read long reports and arguments to realize that. I just have to compare the weather now with the weather 30 years ago...

I know a woman like that, and she accutally had a V-Max once upon a time. When I tryed to talk about the famous wobble that accurs from time to time when you riding a max. She did not know what I was talking about. She had never pushed it that far. (that far that really aint THAT far) She sold...

I have a Harley too, and yes the forks are from Japan. But from where I'm standing, both Japan and USA are forign countrys. Swedish Husqvarna is sold to Italy so if I was to go patriotic I should get myself a Husaberg ... Neee, dont think soo. I'll rather go with "Made somewhere else, rebuilt...

Honda Black ... hmmm, shadow 750 or something. A friend of mine (male) has one of those. Its enuff for anybody really and still light and easy enuff for a beginner. He acctually outruns a Yamaha 1100 Custom something at the redlights (another friend) - so its quite quick if you rev it a bit.

I have been working i a metal shop for ninteen years. So naturally I have done a lot of work for friends and friends of friends. Now sweden has The second most boats per capita in the world. And I would guess that its the same with motorcycles. So I've mede/rapaird a lot of things to motorcycles...

I had to look this up in wikipedia: Moose (Alces alces) is the North American name for the largest extant species in the deer family. The same animal is called the Elk in Europe. The name moose is derived from the Algonquian Eastern Abnaki name moz, meaning "he trims, shaves". Moose are...

I have mooses (or do you call em elk?) in my garden every fall. They like to eat apples and can get serusly aggressive, especally cows (females) with kids (whatever they are called in english). On my roads I have had to break both for moose and deer. However, never with my Harley with something...

Stock forks, when standing on the side stand are 23.6" from center of wheel axle to the bottom of the lower tripple tree. If it has a few miles on it it mat have sagged a little bit, but it should still be around that number (600 mm) But: You may still have progressive springs in it. You dont...

Today I tested it with a passenger @ about 120 lbs @135 mph - Rock steady.

Well, I'm sure that a sycronation would be a good thing. Have not done that. Thats one reason that I keept the carbs on while cleaning them. Thinking; they may be off, but not THAT much. And of course, if somone has atempted to sync them beeing the way they was. Thats one thing thats way off...

I did not remove the carbs from the bike, I did the "quick fix" with the carbs still on. Just so that I would be able to trdive this coming weekend. I just want it go as good as possible for now, the coming winter I will tear them apart completly and ultra-sound-wash them. It had a stock Full...

My max is probably sold in the USA and was imported to sweden 2 years ago. V-boost. Due to an accident (woman in a car who reversed in to it in a parking lot) The exhoust-system is changed to the 100 hp version. (apperently the only avalible at the time) witch I opend up a littli bit (the trick...

I was not really clear with what I meant; The bike do not run at idle at all unless I turn out the idle screws 5? turn (ore use the chooke) - even when warm. Are you sure that the stock needles arent adjusteble. I have ~5-7 grooves and a clip on mine. ??

As I wrote ... I only weigh 165 lbs and stock rear/ 2" lower front works really fine. Wouldn mind lowering it a bit more but for now I settle with this. My six-pot callipers needs to go on up front and a front four-pot to go back ... And then I have my carburettors that are really F**ked up...
