Sounds like the time I rode up mt. Washington here in NY state . Only 5000 feet but a little intimidating. Was 80 degrees at the bottom and about 32 degrees at the top .

Over the years I've built a few hopped up Harley engines and got pretty good at reading spark plugs and indexing plugs . There really is a science to perfect firing plugs .

I've had good luck with the beads also but I haven't been over 100 MPH since I've been using them . At normal highway speeds however I don't feel any vibration or shimmy or bounce , smooth as silk .

I know the 2000 BB is like brand new . I don't think you could find a better one no matter what year .

I don't know what your problem is but you do know that GM recommends either 5w 30 or 10w 30 weight oil in their 350 engines . .

Do a search on spring clips . There are a lot of them out there .

I cut one out off 1/2" alum plate , drilled the mounting holes in it and milled fins . Never has leaked . Used the original 1/4" plate to make other things .

This bike just gets better... and so nicely tuned now that she hardly moves when ticking over on the side stand.

Good fix I guess but what you really need is a thicker plate because obviously yours is warped .

You can not make a biker , either you are one or your not .

Why don't you carry a module with you , I do .

Did you know you can rent a special owners week from management for october. That is what we do for our 3rd week. Cost to you is $550.00 american

Last week I booked a house very very near the Tropic SunTowers where I stay in March...on A1A North near #40. Also booked flights as selection was almost down to ZERO. See my Florida peeps..lol... and International friends soon!! Now to replace the trike that is leaving Daytona as I write this toda...

Does anyone know how to get a hold of Carburetor Mike . I have a phone number 814-868-0170 but every time I call it it says his voice mail is full so I can't leave him a message .
Mike , are you out there ???

I’ve been saying it for 15+ years... my 502 vapor locks at Daytona Bike Week unless I use a small amount of octane booster. Period. In Virginia, no problem. Pennsylvania, Maryland, North & South Carolina, no problem. Sturgis & points in between, no problem. Daytona —> vapor lock. When I’ve ...

I have my liquid filled fuel pressure gage plummed and mounted behind the right valve cover and after doing some research people are saying that if a liquid filled fuel pressure gage is mounted too close to a heat source it will not be accurate and to use a non liquid filled fuel pressure gage inste...

I run a Holley Red mounted on the left side off the side od the battery box . It normally shows about 5 to 7 lbs. fuel pressure until it gets hot while setting in hot traffic and I can watch the fuel pressure gradually drop as low as 1 to 2 lbs . When it gets to 0 of course it stalls . This never ha...

Any opinions on the ultimate heat resistant fuel line insulation ?

On my first SB, a 1999 model, I insulated all of the fuel lines. Also, the fuel filter was on the suction side of the fuel pump. So with a little bit of differential pressure across the filter and a hot day equaled vapor lock. After insulating the fuel lines, I had no problems with it. So your sayi...

Has anyone come up with a full proof way of preventing vapor lock ? I thought I had it licked but yesterday setting In 81 degree Daytona traffic I had what seemed to be vapor lock . Finally got the bike restarted but ran like shit until I let it set for a couple of hours to cool down .

Been here in Daytona for a week so far and the other day I took a chance on buying gas for my bike at a mom and pops 7-11 Quickstop on A1A near Dunlawton bridge . Wound up with a tank full of shit gas and bike started running like a piece of shit . So I had to buy a gas can , a length of 3/8" h...

I to have only been stopped once on my Boss Hoss since 2000 . The trooper was coming towards me when he turned around ,pulled up behind me and blew his horn so I pulled over . He gets out of his car , walks up to me and says hey , I like your modulating headlight , what a great warning devise , I co...

A 1901 Edelbrock is a 750 cfm .

Personally I've never known a teacher that I thought was badass enough to defend my kids . They would have to be brainwashed into pulling the trigger no matter how much actual training and practicing they have . However I would have no problem with a combat vet protecting my kids though .

The problem I see with any law abiding citizen no matter how well they are trained and no matter how good a shot they are when the time comes and the shit hits the fan are they going to have the willpower and the guts to shoot the gunman . We've all heard stories of people having buck fever when it ...
