drain coolant, no need to drain oil I think, take the waterpump off and put back together with silicone gasket maker I would replace the elbow o-rings just to be on the safe side

get the parts blasted for best results degrease with panel wipe always use acid etch primer on alloys and preheat even to 200deg centigrade prior to coating (cool down first of course)

those pipes look so wrong from the back, the outward angle is too 70s for this bike...

that tool won't work on a vmax or an fj or an xj... and being made of mild steel won't last long, hence the price probably

would a max do 12 miles on a faulty fuel pump? if you know what i mean. enough fuel in the carbs for slow riding but lacking further on.

if it starts cold without choke then you have an overly rich mixture which will stall the engine when hot, but mainly only at idle. if not carbs then plenty electrical points that can go wrong when hot (wires changing resistance when hot) and you need to check. i would start with main wires first...

looks like valves hitting pistons. simple trick to lock camchain on sprockets - cable ties :)

would using countersunk bolts in disc adapter make sense?

lazareth looks ever so cool

soda gun looks interesting

high chrome or extreme chrome as some call it, tried it on my wheels some time ago, clearcoat is a must otherwise it will go dull in no time... rubbing is not really an issue on wheels, but it's so much easier to keep clean than chrome...

show us how it fits :)

late venture 1300 engine covers look cool IMO

some time ago I've done this wheel and discs, coated the rivets completely, have had no problems with braking whatsoever

use soda instead of glass

hayabusa engine? edit: just read the article, yes it is :) nice work, must be crazy the ride :)

yeah, from the original wheel only hub and spokes remain, they cut and slot it then add an extremely lightweight rim. I forgot how heavy the original wheel was until I separated the deget one for powdercoating. the add-on rim weighs next to nothing. as quality i mean how well it's cut and fitted...

not sure how much kosman conversion is, but years ago I had mine converted by Deget Germany to 17x6 and chose a 25bolt 2 piece conversion. quality and looks were miles ahead of the one on pictures above, but the price was 620euro, ssss-salty ;)

VF1000R in the background :)) nice :))

not a nice feeling, at least you are OKish on the other hand you may find that replacing forks and bottom yoke (triple) will sort your tracking!
