If you're gonna do that, you might as well carry the BattleAxe for something to sink through windshields :twisted: .......like one of those Mad Kwak jockies in the 1st MadMax flick 8)

Interesting how such a variety of results comes from Ebay.........some people have nO problem with it.........then others get nothing but grief like this! :roll:

:hi to the Forum Tym Always good to see another Bleedin' around here :wink: I've got a brother who lives in Madison CT.......Where abouts are you?

Yeah, tell me about it :roll: Could be like my brother who's working in Malaysia right now :? .......Where, when it rains, it comes down sooooo hard that the drops bounce 2 feet off the ground! :shock:

I think a bit of a Retro-Standard......trying to use up any old parts lying around :roll:

It's a Cryin' shame that they're associated with SuSucky in the R&D Dept. :? Been seeing alot of similarities between the 2 makes since this onslaught :? Waiting for that God-Foresaken Day when we see a Kawa come to life! :shock: :roll:

Yep...... With Any luck @ all this year, I'll hopefully be able to replace my 21 yr. old Tired "Old Nail" Maxim, with a Seca2 (Yank equivilant to the 600 Divvy) :wink: Just Gotta have a 6-speed gearbox again for daily commuting duties 8)

Sounds like Pete's point of Conversion into the Tuning Fork :wink: 8)

It's like my Dad told me once........... "If I had my way, you wouldn't ride @ all.......but I haven't been a very good example" .........he's been riding since he was 19! :wink:

A Carb cleaning & synch would help :wink: ........that rattling could be from the cam-chain & tensioners.....hopefully just in need of an adjustment :wink:

Castrol every 2k......been that way for 20 years :wink:

Very Tidy DT there! 8) :wink:

The thing about that bike that I love the most is the Paint Scheme........Very TZesque 8) Reminds me of the Daytona :wink:

I was spoon-fed on those old CB's........my dad also had his share of 'em when I was growing up :wink: Another one I liked was the infamous CBX inline-6 8) ........Now that was a massive Beast :shock:

You guys don't know how lucky you are! :twisted: ......... What I'd give to have a Yam 400-4 over here :wink: ........especially with the current Fuel Costs going the way they are! :shock:

Yeah, some things are better off left unsaid!

INDEED! 8) Alot of Road Tests on Alot of different models :wink:

I put Tapered Rollers in my old XJ 550 Seca.......with Killer Results 8) Maybe just Repack 'em with fresh grease & an adjust will do the trick? :wink:

Are you referring to your XJ there Alan?......'Cause I thought you had this prob sorted with your RD :? Either way mate, don't skimp & get Tapered Roller Bearings put in that Headstock......You won't regret it! :wink:

That TrailWing sounds like it's in the same condition as the Used $20 Bridgestone on the back of my XJ :wink: .......& just my luck, it's now starting rain again here :shock: :roll:

Not sure if Metzeler makes 'em in sizes for the DT, but I bet these would be Sweet on one :wink: .......

It's amazing what Loads of Seat-Time on a bike will do for your skills :wink: ......& riding year-round teaches you how to read & adapt to the ever-changing elements. I broke my personal record this last winter....& rode in 13F(-9C) weather along with a bit of snow :shock: I get all kinds of strange looks during that time of year When I get asked, "Are you Crazy?" :crazy ... .....My response is always: "I'm just training for SKI season!" 8)

Yep........the infamous RIM Brake with the caliper mounted on the inside of the disc 8)

Make NO mistake about it.........Buell FireBolt's are Wheelie Monsters :wink:

Me too Pete :wink: ........always had good results with Shell.
