mello dude

Anybody up to convert my chicken scratching hand drawing to CAD and maybe model and STL? Fairly simple stuff. Its been a long time since I did any CAD (Unigraphics, Catia).... I got sucked into management. Thanks

Definately would be ugly, but if push comes to shove, I think I would lazer cut it.

Way old photo, but removing just a few more items and it would have been quite easy to lift the frame off the engine..

Have just done it, not all that hard if you siphon most of the gas out first, and then when you tilt it up, the larger rear most hose can be used to finish getting the gas out. On the hose joints a small squirt of WD40 works wonders and a hose puller is great too. If your systematic, it goes smooth.....

Thanks for the information..

Seen several times on this forum... Set the engine solid on a base jack or otherwise. Disassemble/strip the bike enough to lift the frame off the bike, leaving the engine sitting on the jack/base. -- Yes, it is a big job... That's the way I would do it anyhoo...beats trying to move the engine....

Throwing this up there for the halibut, may or may not be useful. We use this stuff all over the manufacturing plants. I have thought about building a trailer with it. Strong as all get out. ....No welding required... https://parco-inc.com/tslot-aluminum-extrusions/ ---------- Curious, your option, what does a 275 year old Netherlands house look like? Photo?

Thanks guys for the tip, gonna go check mine.

Great info guys!

Bought these for my current front caliper rebuild, but turns out there's plenty of pad material left on the existing ones already. NEW not opened. Bought for the RC51, but looking on where used also F4i/954 possible CBR600. Please check on Parzilla for where used/diagrams for application. Selling $50 shipped US 48...

Got the blunt screwdriver thing out, cussed and fussed another hour on the one grommet... no go. Eff it. In frustration jumped on the Valkyrie for a good thrashing... back later...

Finally getting moving on this..(I want to ride this bike!) Thermostat and hoses (clamps loose) Left Started.. Hiccup in the road.. bleah, gotta clean that.. The while I'm at it disease in full infection... (attack of the mello dude) Well, since the brakes are hanging there... Turns out doing the rear brake teardown was a good thing.. Fronts Side tip for the masses.. I had been wanting a low range torque wrench and tried a couple from Amazon. They were quite mediocre, returned them. Found this Tekton recently and its a little jewel. (10 to 150 in-lbs) Gives a good positive over center "click" when the torque setting is reached. Very good! Also have found Tekton tools to be very good. The wrench is little about 9 inch long. Very useful. Last thing for the day... some commiserating (help?) How do I get this frickn new grommet into the radiator? I have lubed it but struggle the shit outta it. (The FSM is comical, its says intsall new grommet. Oh really?Duh!) Cheers all

D shape?.... Did I miss it on the Oring&more site?

The "while I'm at its" are on and I was looking for that weird D "O"-Ring for the water pump....... Looked on the parts fische, looked around and around.... "Where is that frickn part?" You would think a water pump part would be in the water pump fische.... but Noooooooooooo! Found it in left side cover, dammit.... Eff you to Honda.... While I'm at its continue, but starting to panic, summer is fast approaching, I want to ride this bike!

I don't think there's a majority of one way that's been done, depends on waht the owner wants/needs.
