G-man

Alright, cool, thanks. I won an ebay bid on one last night, along with a set of forks. Forks look identical to mine, so here's hoping the best from the stand.

Hey, Bill. Thanks for the offer. But naw, I'm ok with having just one XS360 to tinker with, haha.

You mean 12r prefix for the oem part itself?

Spray a little WD-40 on it...it'll be fine.

Noisy shmoisy...that why God created earplugs. Ain't that Caberg one of them flip up modular lids? I had a similar one a while ago, an HJC Symax.

What, huh, the chain you ask? Yes, the chain is still lookin pretty good with only WD-40 and some lovin.

Hey Bill, did you ever get that headlight? How'd it work out for you, if you did? By the time I looked into it, the delivery time was over a month. Damn!

Ooooh, tough luck, dude.

Hey there, anybody know if a '82 XS400 Maxim center stand will fit on a '77 XS360-2D? Drewpy, this is right up your alley.

Leave it up to the Brits to massacre the english language. "Parafin" sounds to be the English equivelant of Safety Kleen.

lolz, ok then.

It's almost 7 here. I've got 3 jobs, the one I'm currently at is an emergency medical advice hotline.

Oh ok, I'm at work with nothing better to do. What's your excuse? You laugh at yourselves, and I laugh at you too. So see, it's all good.

Ha, finally something funny from you! But naw, oldgirlonabike, you know you like to take it dry.

Naw, you're not a wanker, not at all. Speaking of which, I hear you've found the ultimate use for WD-40.

Per Oldgitonabike's profile, local time: 11:15 pm. Per "Chicago"XS's profile, local time, 11:15 pm. It's 5:15pm in my part of Chicago, so I guess ChicagoXS is on the east side of town.

*yawn* That was pretty lame, Oldbikeman. Don't worry though, I'm sure your pals here will pee their panties with laughter.

Hmm, appears to be. That's ok though, I'm American...we tend to think outside the box without paying much attention to draw-by-numbers naysayers, no matter how big of a circle they sit in to wanky wank-wank. That's how we progressed as a nation and became a super-power. Say, speaking of which, are you boys a good example of a brit? I've decided to expand my research from just chains and sprockets to include how the US passed England up in a mere hundred years. You lads make wonderful test subjects, lolz. "Dubble-you dee fohhhty? Are you maaaaahd?"

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. -Euripides I rest my case.

I will certainly attempt to, if you could explain the reasoning behind the advise given to you.

Really? You're from Chicago? We'll see... You get a beer at Wrigley Field, how much is it? And what brand is it? And how is it served? Who's the best pitcher on the Cubs, and what's he known for? What color is the picasso, and where is it? You're downtown, you wanna pizza....where are you gonna go for it? What's on a maxwell street polish? Where is Maxwell Street? What's around there? What's the area like? You drive down the ryan and as you pass 35th, what do you see? What's the name of the neighborhood, and who grew up there? Where's uptown? What's the area like? What's south of there, and what type of person are you likely to find walking around, and with who? Name a part of the city that cops and firemen tend to live in. Who lives in humboldt park? How about wicker park? How about bucktown? Where's the cheeziest place to get a tattoo in Chicago? How do you pronounce the number 3? Coz see, I suspect that you're actually one of these WANKERS, but posting under another account. Not that I really give a shit...we all need a hobby, after all.

OMG, there's enough tools in this thread to fill a motorcycle repair shop.

If you will use parafin (kerosine) on motorcycle chain o-rings, THEY WILL NOT! I posted links to actual tests. If you're too lazy or stubborn to click them, that's your deal.

Yes, yes indeed. My bike is 31 years old, with mostly everything on it still original. I have my doubts many of today's bikes will age that much, and with the same grace.

Actual tests were conducted, and neither kerosine or wd-40 has been shown to affect o-rings in any discernable way. Even after a month-long soak in a bath of it.
