    VM Air Jet - how's this work?

    On VM carbs (29 smoothies to be exact) how does the air jet that screws into the outside lip function? Z1 sells a 0.9 air jet for the VM29 carb, if you install a smaller jet, which I assume would restrict air, what part of the carb would that effect? pilot system? idle? Conversely, if you...

    GS1000 Air Box Removed: Secure the battery?

    I wedged a length of old brake hose down between my battery and the box to keep it from rattling around.

    Newbie Questions...

    According to my spec book, you've got the right tire size on the bike. Should be 3.5x19 front & 4.5x17 rear. That should work out to 100/90x19 & 120/90x18 in today's world. As said before you could go one size larger on the rear.

    My neighbor knocked over my bike

    If someone would have mashed her Volvo's door, would she have fixed that herself? It shouldn't be any different for you. Take the bike over for an estimate at your local dealer and find out would cost if they were going to repair it. Now you have an accurate estimate & if you want to work...

    brake disk options

    Dual piston / single sided caliper off a Ninja 650R. I'll start looking for the CBR rotors too. I am pretty sure the calipers from my Triumph America will work as well. Probably, they would require a different bracket. The front & rear calipers are identical, so you would need both off an...

    brake disk options

    Dan, I knew I could count on a response from you!! :) I have a set of Ninja 650R (Tokico) calipers (newer year, but not sure which) that will clear the stock wheel if I slide them onto the 1100E rotors. I haven't checked whether or not the rotor will cover the entire pad once the brake is in...

    brake disk options

    I have a dual disk setup with stock drilled rotors. Does anyone know any other models with rotors that will bolt up to our wheels? I'd like to find something with a floating caliper setup. I'd need something that will bolt to the stock wheel & still fit between the forks. I'll modify...

    Project Beast back on track

    49'er.. I don't wan't to get off topic, but where can I find more info on the clutch drag? My 750 is an early model & I've had continual problems with this and no amount of adjustment can solve it.

    Helmet advice

    I bought a Scorpion EXO-400 for my wife & it is a great helmet for well under $200. If it were one size larger, I'd wear it instead of my Nolan. She has no problem wearing her glasses with it. Snell/DOT certified $169 at helmetsource.com Maybe less in other places.

    DIY exhaust

    Forget my last post.... I thought you were looking for a noisemaker... You made another post while I was typing. You might need an adapter, but you could try http://www.apollocones.com/index.html. Hand rolled and hand welded. With or without baffles. Looks like they're custom made for high...

    DIY exhaust

    Find something like this, and start cutting the baffle until you get the sound you want Or, you can run straight pipes, and install a set of these from JP Cycles. You'll need something to create some back pressure, anyway. Are you planning to run one, two or four pipes?
