    Ignition Coils

    Are these impedance specs (Primary - 3 to 5 ohms. Secondary - 31 to 33 K-ohms.)​ the same for a '78 GS750E? My service manual doesn't seem to list them, only advises to use an "electro tester" to measure spark distance... Didn't find the resistance spec in Clymer either. Thanks.

    Handlebars / rearsets (looking for inspiration)

    I am NOT building a cafe. Haha. But, I am interested in crafting a slightly more forward riding position, so researching hand and foot position options ( I know, they're endless if you'd like to spend. I can't afford $400 rearsets for this bike). Who's got a combo they'd like to share for...

    valvetrain noise?

    Ha thanks. Probably hasn't been quite that much, but it's due for a lot more than that anyway, and will be going under the knife next winter latest, I think. Since I bought the VFR nothing else has been getting extended miles on the clock...

    valvetrain noise?

    Wondering if this sounds familiar or identifiable to anyone--loudest in the vicinity of #3 exhaust--at 1200 RPMs occurrence is about 150 / minute. I'll pull the valve cover for a look soon but thought I'd poll the wise heads here in the meantime. Valve clearances should be good as it hasn't...

    Sourcing Intake Boots and Fuel crossover Tees

    Thanks Ed, good catch. Sadly there doesn't seem to be a correspondingly cheap version of the "S1" outer crossover tubes, that I can find. I will PM you about an o-ring set, are you doing the big intake boot ones too, or have a spec for them? I believe I bought some of those from Robertbarr...

    Sourcing Intake Boots and Fuel crossover Tees

    Looking for reviews on the above items--OE boots are approx $150 at best, would of course be my preference but cash is tight. Has anyone tried these Caltric aftermarket ones...

    which clear coat for polished aluminum (reviews?)

    Anyone have personal favorites for clearcoating polished aluminum? Quite a few options to choose from commercially. My fork legs looked so purty a few months back, and they'll polish up fine, but they are oxidizing pretty quickly. I'm also doing engine covers, so heat is a factor. Everbrite...

    Yeah it's a shame. Rins and Mir will be fine in the end, they're both too good--but you gotta feel for all the support staff, must be hard for them especially. I wonder what the biz rationale was for pulling the plug. For my money Moto 3 has just been the best racing to watch, what a killer...

    750 Katana Resurrection

    this build thread is a real education in itself, thanks for sharing your work in such detail--you say it's therapy, well, I thank you for sharing your time on the professor's couch. I could never quantify the time I have spent fishing, either... probably best not to think about it too hard.

    Echo that. Not the most exciting race, esp. after Bagnaia went down. Moto 2 was more entertaining, I thought.

    Good god, just watched Moto 2 today, what a wild affair that was. Couple of those guys should kiss their lucky rabbits' feet.
