  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    Tuner Cleaner

    Thank you! That is very good to know, given my mechanical philosophy (if you can't fix it with a hammer, get a bigger hammer).

    Tuner Cleaner

    I've decided to buy a spray can of tuner cleaner. That's what we called it in my day; I find it is usually called contact cleaner today. A couple questions: 1. The very first response to a Google search was WD-40 (sponsored content). Is it in fact identical to (or just as effective as) the...

    e-bike commuting

    Someone should make that announcement in Manhattan. Standing at the curb, waiting to cross the street...wham! Your nose could be taken off by one of those things flying by. When you got hit by my Z1, at least you heard it coming. 😁

    e-bike commuting

    If one gets tired (or lazy) on a class 1, what happens? Can you lift your legs out of the way and the pedals would rotate on their own? I'm not really looking yet, but I've accepted that it's going to happen sooner or later.

    e-bike commuting

    Forgive my ignorance, but what purpose do pedals serve? I thought these were powered vehicles.

    It It was a great time to be alive.

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    Correction (edit is not working) - The 375 hp fuel injected 327 was only available in 64 & 65. But it only made 10 hp more than the top hp carbureted 327. I've been reading recently that the Rochester fuel injection system required so much year round maintenance that it wasn't monetarily worth...

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    About the 305 and 307 - I would never brag about a 305 or a 307, even if they made more hp than my 327 '68 Camaro. 327 or 427, now those are engines that attract attention. How about a '65 Corvette with the (425 hp) 396, one year engine option. Throw in the side pipes, available only in 65-67 &...

    Poor Man's Air Restrictors

    Aren't those "air corrector jets" just nullifying any benefits available with pods? If you're installing pods for the looks, then I could understand 'air correctors' as the cheapest way to get the bike running smoothly. We'll, second cheapest. I initially covered more than 3/4 of my pods with...

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    No, I did not forget about the 375 hp 327 that was available in Corvettes from '57 through '65. However, the amount of maintenance required on the Rochester mechanical fuel injection was not justified by only 10 extra horses. That's my opinion, and it aught to be yours.

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    I had a speed shop work on my 305. Hearst 4 speed, free flow air cleaner, toss the catalytic converter, advance the timing and WOW! Big difference!

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    The Z/28 302 and the Corvette 327 (365hp) - my favorite Chevy engines. When I bought my Z/28 in 1982 it was rated at 145 hp - the same as the Yamaha V-Max!

    Looking for a Handlebar and Seat for an '80 GS1100E

    I think I see the front of the gas tank in the garbage pail. Suzuki was all about cost compared to Kawasaki.

    Looking for a Handlebar and Seat for an '80 GS1100E

    Weren't the 82 and 83 even cheaper decals? No two-tone, no three-tone, just spray everything one color, slap a decal on each side cover and each side of the tank, and we're done. I can't get over how much better my '73 Kawasaki Z1 looked compared to my 83 red 82 11E. Even the black on the...
