I just rebuilt the carbs on a friend's dad's Venture and didn't have any problems until he got it home of course. It apparently only leaks when running, but he did send me a picture of the wet spot on the ground, and it is definitely leaking! The screwdriver in the picture is apparently where...

Hey all... it has been a while since I have posted here, but I thought I would share a few pics on a project I'm working on. I'm taking an older Venture, put some Vmax heads and carbs on it and I'm in the process of putting a Vmax swingarm and shocks on it (got rid of the heavy swingarm and...

I'm leaving for Brainard tomorrow morning to help out a guy with a Pro Stock car. If anyone is there, look us up. River Racing - 2010 Cobalt mostly Orange. We are one of the few non-million dollar racers LOL. Jeff

Jeff's Ecotec Powered Dragbike - Formerly "Nitro Madness" Well, I bit the bullet and drove 2000 miles in 50 hours. Loaded up a bike, slept for 5 hours (in the trailer, next to my new girlfriend... the bike), had a 4 hour business meeting, traveled to Norwalk OH, to watch Jason Pridemore make...

This is a little short notice, but I am taking a trip out to PA from Iowa towards the end of this week to pick up a new ride. If anyone needs anything taken out East or brought back to the Mid-West, let me know. I'll have a 16' trailer... but space will be limited on the return home, but...

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone here has pictures of an engin stand they use while the bike is out of the frame. I actually have a junk frame that I am planning on using. I have enough parts laying around that I should be able to make a functional stand to run/test engines. I have a...

I am currently running with the VBoost wide open. I have the servo and controller removed and I took a piece of brake line (metal tubing) cut a slit in it with a dremel down the length of the tube, slid the vboost wire in it and let the metal end rest on the outside (hopefully that makes sense)...

Looks like they finally made a Harley-specific dyno... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePlHPNaM5w

So I purchase a front wheel/rim/rotors from an 07/08 R1 from a guy and he tells me it was from an unwrecked bike. I get it and the wheel is not true and the rotors are visably bent... I call the guy (Joe) and he acts confused and said he rode the bike himself and can't understand how it could...

I would like to get a new set of forks for my 02, really my right fork is the only one that is bad, but if I can find a set, I'll take it. I didn't know if there is anyone out there that is doing the USD conversion that wants to sell their stockers or not. Anyway if you know of some, send me a...

I've been wanting to put rearsets on my bike for a long time and I have done quite a bit of looking and have found quite a few different kinds/styles. Anyway, here are a bunch of pics of different rearsets. PM me if you want a higher quality image (I compressed these to save on file space). Jeff

Ok... some of you may have know this, but I didn't. I have a set of carbs that need a rebuild. I thought the diaphragms could be salvaged, but it turned out they were too hard. As many of you know, there is a guy (Rob) on eBay that sells just the diaphragms (4 for around $70 or $80). I think...

I was bummed about football being over, but last night was qualifying for the Winter Nationals and today is the finals, so at least I have something to watch on Saturday and Sunday nights again!

Well, I was a little over half way through my 2 hour commute this morning when the old Explorer hit some ice and went for a quick spin backwards into the ditch, then it got tired and wanted to lay on it's side for a while. I got a tow-truck there to wake her back up and got her set back on her...

As some of you may or may not know, we recently had our first child and we had many wish us well and congratulated us on our new baby boy. Chris (4gasem) posted 3 videos about breast-feeding. I can't believe he posted them first off (he is a recently married guy with no kids, that I know of...

The wife and I are at the Hospital now, they just broke her water, but she isn't very far along, so it will be a LONG day. We were told it is going to be a boy and Tyson (Ty) will be his name. We are very excited and this is our first. I'm sure my life is going to change big-time, but I'm...

Gary, here is your competition.... but from what you are talking about building, this should be a pretty easy win. This I am good friends with this guy's (Allen Peterson's) son and we meet up a few times a year at a local rally/race. These things are pretty bad ass and would be sweet to...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edn7Rnlj1N4 Here is a vid we shot a few weeks ago at the drag strip in Eddyville, IA. The owner claims he got 24mpg on the way to the track, and the motor/innercooler is all stock, all he did was add a second turbo and I'm sure added some type of computer as...

O.k. many of you probably already know this, but Dynatek has stopped making ignitions for the 85-89 Vmax. I talked to a guy named Larry, and he was a great person to talk with. I called them since my ignition is acting up and I was trying to see if they had any similar complaints. When I had...
