Just thought maybe would be a good discussion of which finish members consider to be the best/durable and which ones come up short.This is not meant to be a slam fest of negativity, but rather a thread about what stands the test of time.Can be vintage American or Foreign.______________________We...
Sensation chopper. how do I get all the powder coating off? The brake doesn't touch the back wheel either. Need a taller tire and the rim seems to be a little thin. . I am thinking a slick is my best worst choice (the slick looks best and the grip on the scrub brake worst?) but my choice has...
I just picked these wheels up yesterday and I was wondering what the best way to clean them or refinish them is? I'm trying to avoid ruining the originality of them if that is even possible. At the worst I will put them on my bike like they are but everything will be redone and the wheels will...
Just curious if anyone has had a tire blow on them when they're out for a rip on their bike. I sold one of my rollers to a friend, and on a ride on a back road we were on his front tire turned into this
I've never seen a tire disintegrate like this before, and this tire was brand new! We...
Figured this would be appropriate for the engine section. Kind of a "what to avoid" thread for some of the less knowledgeable or newer members here.
So: what was the worst small engine you had, and why? Reliability, durability, etc.
This thing is a wreck, so I say it is time for a minor rebuild.
So much was wrong with this engine before the tear down, I can't possibly understand how it was still running with plenty of torque to get up to speed. :confused:
Both the piston and the bore are worn and scored, enough to...
So I go out to barter my doodle bug frame seat and wheels for a 6.5hp motor for my Baja mini bike, I just bartered for but it had a seized engine. So the kid didn't know anything about the motor and it was raining so we did it quick and then when I got home I took off the gas tank and saw this...
Nothing surprises me anymore.......but this.
Its gonna take some work but I'll get rid of all that mess and get a TAV back on it. I believe its a CAT R3508.
If anyone has some good pics of one I would love to see them for my resto. :hammer:
I need some impartial opinions guys. With today being Labor Day most of our local food joints are closed. That being the case I let my old lady talk me into going to one of her favorite places...SUBWAY. I should have known right there that this was not going to be good. This being my first...
Lets hear about worst crashes on you bike.
I'll start:
I was 12yrs old and I watched a motor cross event and I thought that I could do the stunts that the Pros were doing only with my Cat Duster mini. Boy, was I wrong. I attempted a table top off a small hill. I had a wide open throttle...
What's up guys . Well let's see who has the funniest and craiziest story. I'll start .
My first ticket I was rolling down a sorta big street when I see a motorcycle cop next to me screaming pull over. My ass jumped on the curb and so Did he lol. He followed me a block and I hit a red light...
For me the best would have to be making custom exhausts for em. I just love cutting and welding haha. And the worst would have to be brakes and wheels like replacing bearing and such. Lets hear yours! :Thumbsup:
I had to take a picture of this when I picked up my concession kart that I got from this person last Friday. It is sad that someone would take the time to do this.
1969 Honda 50 minitrail plus 1970 parts bike
Not posting so much for the add, but I loved the picture of the kid riding the hell out of it! Thats what its all about right there:thumbsup:
The rear wheel coming off post got me thinking about what your worst fear is while riding.
mine is the weld breaking at the neck at high speed, I know they're tough but all these 200 plus lb riders cant be normal right?. I haul ass on asphalt most of the time so its something to prepare for.
What is your worst wreck? I just had mine a few minutes ago. On my briggs 5hp with tav.
I was going to take off and I gave about 3/4 throttle and it sputtered a little and did a burn out! It then caught on some of the gravel and threw the front end up and I slid off the back. While I was...
