RTI does for sure. I also wouldnt buy an ex training bike, that thing will have been thrashed to hell.

http://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/vance-and-hines-pro-pipe-chrome-exhaust-system.html Other than that, I imagine any store that sells Vance and Hines parts can order it for you. I think Partsource sells Vance and Hines. *edit* NM, they dont have it for your bike. Here...

Just to add on to my experience, my friend bought a bike the same day as me, also at Motoretta. Was supposed to come today (friday), and he confirmed 5 or 6 times this week that it would be ready to go today. He calls this morning to confirm, they say yes, this afternoon it will be ready. He...

If you watch the video I linked, it tells you exactly what I mean. He just synced his carbs together, who knows if he chose the base as one that was running well, or one that was running poorly. The fact that the idle speed dropped so much after syncing, and the fact the idle got more rough...

He just balanced his carbs. He needs the guide before those ones which teaches him how to adjust the carbs so each cylinder is running as close to proper as possible. Then balance. After that you can chop to ensure each cylinder is running perfectly (its for fine tuning, not "My bike runs...

Bundles rarely save you that much money unless you take every kind of insurance they offer. If you dont need all the insurance, then no, you are paying more anyway. Its like getting a Cable TV & Phone & Internet package. If all you want is internet, sure you are "saving" money, but you're...

They are saying jail time for riding without insurance. Not for you. And despite what you say, you have 7 moving violations in the last 5 years (i assume, if theyre showing up on insurance) so you are kind of a maniac. 7 times you got caught, what about all the times you didnt? You can get...

You cant just do a carb sync. You have to make sure that your carbs are as close to properly tuned on each cylinder, and THEN sync them together. It is very likely your idle dropped if you were just trying to balance the carbs against each other, without regard to how the cylinder itself is...

My favorite part about that one is the guy has been trying to sell that same bike, at the same price, for like 4 years. It was for sale when I bought my 450.

Was it a red delivery van? Same thing happened to me this morning on the spadina circle, ****ing cop watched him almost run me right off the road after he veered over without signaling in the middle of the turn. Guy wouldnt even acknolwedge he almost ran me over, no shrug, nothing, just a dead...

If it is your first time drilling out a bolt, I wouldnt recommend practicing on any part of the engine casing. Messing up means replacing the whole part, which means way more work and time. Might as well just pay 50 bucks to make sure its done properly and practice on less essential parts first.

$100 dollars an hour is only 200k a year at a 9-5 job. Many, many people make much more than that.

Thats not really overpriced. That bike would have cost 3500 + PDI last year at a dealership. 3000 is probably not firm, so you could walk away with it for probably 2500-2800 all in, saving around 1500-1200 dollars for a basically brand new bike.

Get insurance. Its really, really unlikely anyone is going to grab your bike while you are in the mall, but if they do, what can you do to prevent it? Nothing. The same way you cant prevent someone from stealing it while you are work. Think about it this way, if you are not riding your bike to...

The guy beside rosey toes does welding. He is uptown though.

The bottom line is yes. Old bikes require preventative maintenance and a lot of little fine tuning here and there. Parts go bad occassionally due to age or wear. These bikes are from an age when vehicle owners were "expected" to drop by the mechanics every few months for a tune up to ensure...

Any garage at all. Its fairly "common", and any mechanic can drill out a bolt. I would recommend Ted @ Rosey Toes, because his labor charge is the best.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll send these details to my dad later today, hopefully he can be out and riding this week, hes so excited, he woke up at 5am to go get his bike on Monday haha.

Its because theyre looking for a big thick layer of black grease to come off on their finger when they rub the chain, because oil based lubes need to be visible with that test to indicate they are properly applied. Dupont isnt like that because its applying a layer of teflon to the chain, and it...

Its one mirror. The reason being is that bikes made BEFORE 1971 often came equipped from the factory with only one mirror (or no mirrors). Rather than make those bikes illegal to ride on the road, or require all owners of those bikes to modify their vehicles, the HTA states that you only need...
