the "breather hole" at the bottom of the slide is enlarged slightly.. making it more sensitive to pressure change.. ergo sliding faster.. remove the top of the airbox and filter.. see if all the slides move smoothly.. if they do. start the bike and see if they move together.. if they dont.. you may have a ripped diaphram or one thats not seated properly.

awesome! glad your having fun.. are you painting it since your waiting for winter to pass?

hey ..its been awhile.... hoes your project coming? is it streeet legal yet? :cheerleader:

hey.. i have seen a sportster turned into a flat out dirt bike.. if this was my project.... i would get a set of enduro forks and rear shock.. ditch the body work, add 3 or 4 head lights of dif sizes... crashbars, and yes.. make some cool boxes :fing02:

it acts like neither a wing or a sail... both help things MOVE!! the screen acts a bug collector, a scratch magnet, and a the weak spot that cracks LAST when you drop your bike. :biggrin:

this bike has a busted exhaust stud.. the forks and wheel are removed for a later write up .. after trying the "double nut" method..which stripped the remaining treads off the stud :dry: so i rethreaded it..what was left.. then i took a long nut and cut it at an angle for more surface area contact with the MIG welder.. :cool: then let it cool and it came right out. :beer: next.. exhaust write up!! you have read this...now go find a mod and pin this thread. :goofy:

i have pix in my gallery :biggrin:

have any SOLID rear wheels? that the design can be cut into a la foose style??? those wheels you have shown will never get on my bike..let alone my car..

as far as passengers steering? no prob...i have way more leverage from the length of my bars...besides,if they screw with me to much i'll just turn right real fast....they'll fly away and i'll just do a sidecar wheelie :fing02: :bliss: :bliss: and then they can pay you to build a side car them :fing02: good point....anyone wanna ride lol i will go.. mainly because my jacket has an airbag in it! :fing02: and i am used to hitting the cruise control and taking my hands off the bars. :fing02:

do you have a reverse??? and if o were you.. remove the bars from the forks.. unless you really trust your passenger.. i would make a bar mounted to the front subframe bolts and the tank mount.. :fing02: looking good! i am tempted to say lets make a cycle shop.. "rollers" run by people to stubborn to give up rolling! i hope you talk clear , because your sign language is going to SUCK!! :laugh:

yeah.. i want a rear with a single hole like a duc! cut to match the wheels i have in my gallery.. by RC components.. i would love to have that design :fing02: :laugh:

hhhmm from the pic with the non vfr.. i would have put a roman chariot paint theme on it.. as for your new set up.. if your going to make it fully enclosed.. then make a Star Trek space shuttle. or a rocket! add a nose cone to house your heater :laugh: put a headlight at the tip!

awesome dude!! :laughing6-hehe: now you just need some snazzy body work on the sidecar. :blink:

but that would have 2 be driven by electric motors or hydrolics...and thats something that could fail. nope.. direct linkage!! STEEL IS REAL!!! not saying it would not be brain teaser.. but i know it can be done.. a stick mounted to the floor with a pivot..moving only side to side. and have a pivoted bar about 5 inches ( or something like that)from the floor going to a bracket UNDER the triple tree. the stick would give lots of leverage. all of it should be bolted up and have the bolts secured with cotter pins and safety wire. as for the "T".. i dont know how strong you are. but you can have a spring holding the "T" all the forward.. which will be pressing on the brakes.. then you pull it back and frees the break and hits the gas.. and away you go!! or flip it so so you push it forward..

if you use an airplane style stick.. you add a pocket for your hand.. no velco needed as your not pushing and pulling .. just moving it left and right... steering becomes a 1 arm job. keep up the good work :biggrin:

what about a 4 wheeler thumb throttle? a trigger throttle? a jet plane style "T" throttle? find one with a thumb button for the clutch and add a lever for the brakes :bliss: had to go with elbow throttle so i can keep both hands on steering...its because my hands are totally paralysed.i velcro my right hand to the bars,leaving my left free for operating steering,switches ,brakes and shifting...it has an autoclutch,so no clutch levr needed....i'll post a pic later of all my controls...thx for trying to give good advice hough but because i have unique disabilities i needed to adap[t in an unorthodox manner rats.. i think it would have been cool if one hand had a the jet style throttle and other worked the streering via a stick.. ergo a real road rocket.. :biggrin: :fing02: your still a lucky bastard...you can HEAR queen!! :bliss: oh wait.. your stuck with rap music too... uummm :fing02: auto clutch.. very cool.. you can still use the jet "t".. in fact.. you may be able to use the "T" for the throttle and breaks.. pull back for gas, push forward to hit the breaks..no buttons needed.

make your you get the box with the freesh lemon scent :biggrin:

hhmmm 3 days of soaking.. i spend 1 buck for an aluminum baking pan.. 1 buck for a paslic bucket (to catch any overflow.) and 15 for a 1 gallon can of GUNK carb dip. wrap the pan around the disasembled carbs.. place in plastick bucket.. pour in the gunk.. let sit for 30 min.. looks like new.. same as the pine col ..just much faster.. i guess if your doing stuff at home taking your time pine sol is the ticket.. in a shop.. GUNK.. :fing02:

very cool.. i wanna go work for BLS!!

well yes and no.. you can make anything work .. if your willing to play a little bit.. cobra did make some nice f1 pipes back in the day.. ..do you have a pal who weld? the reason i ask.. if you find some pipes you like.. you may need to weld on a addapoter..or some spring loops to the headers.. and then you may need to play with the carbs..

look up DURBAN RC30.. this guy has done everything you can think of.. and stuff you never dreamed of!! :unsure: :fing02:

Especially if you could track down that twin exhaust can setup! Yeah it's a great look! I had the chance to buy one of these a few years back for $200, brand new... didn't grab it :wheel: i know.. because i got them! the y pipe was missing... but i got em!

i have the same problem.. every shop tells me the axle is hardend steal and they cant cut the treads.. one shop did say they can cut them.. but only to a standard .. no metric.. so now i am looking for a nut to fit.. with fine treads.
