    Machine shop to make a couple of spacers.

    Yes, The wheel is built. Front and rear came with the project. Its apparently a common swap as the back is a bolt in. I've only done this once before and then I used a paid of inside dividers to center the wheel in the forks. I then used the dividers to measure between the bearing and fork...

    Machine shop to make a couple of spacers.

    Thanks All. Thanks Bitzz, I may just take you up on that. Yes, Yamaha Forks, Kawasaki Hub. I'll be running sealed bearings so probably won't use the seals so the spacers could be a lot thicker than normal. I need to mount the hub and take measurements. I have a bore gauge that I could possibly...

    Machine shop to make a couple of spacers.

    I'm into the home stretch with my winter project... already... LOL I'm replacing the standard cast wheels (because new ones came with the project and look much nicer) with a set of spoked rims and since the new front hub is off a Kawasaki I need a to get a new set of spacers made. They need...

    Where to buy 8mm x 1.25 12 Point Nuts?

    I managed to get a set of ARP at tdotperformance - Thanks for the recommendation Mike. Its probably overkill as they are rated to 180,000 psi and the studs in the case are only medium carbon alloy... they are probably good enough for an F1 engine... LOL. There is not enough material to mill it...

    Where to buy 8mm x 1.25 12 Point Nuts?

    I like bolts plus. I tried the one in Mississauga at lunch time but they don’t stock them. I need garden bags so I’ll have a look in Lowe’s tomorrow

    Where to buy 8mm x 1.25 12 Point Nuts?

    I'm working on my winter project (YSR-50) and I got an aftermarket big bore cylinder for it. It was part of the spares I got when I bought the bike. Unfortunately the standard 12mm head flange nuts will not work to bolt down the barrel as the casting is much bigger than OEM. I can't push the...

    Gonna try it...sugar carbs dairy...

    i don’t find this to be a realistic. Diabetes is an autoimmune disease. You own body attacks your pancreas and it stops producing insulin. Without insulin your body can not process sugar, and you become hyperglycaemic, the final stages of which are coma and death. I don’t think anyone ever...

    Gonna try it...sugar carbs dairy...

    I disagree to a certain extent. I'm diabetic and have been on a low carb/sugar/glycemic diet since I was a teenager. In fact before Insulin was discovered in 1921 (by a Canadian no less - Frederick Banting) Diabetics basically went on a severe Keto diet and lived fairly normal lives for many...

    Helmet Exemption Coming for Sikh Motorcyclists in Ontario

    Re: Change to Helmet Laws in Ontario You may not be that far off. It may be similar to the question "Is you car garaged?" or "Do you install snow tires?" except it will be something like "Do you wear a helmet when riding". If you check yes and have an accident while riding without a helmet it...

    You basically have to make your own as most use some form of flour for thickening and processed sauces like Pizza, spaghetti, sweet and sour, etc. are loaded with sugar

    Anodizing in GTA

    I'm really making some good progress on my winter project and I bought a couple of little billet pieces to replace some old cruddy pitted aluminium castings. They were originally black so I'd like to get them Anodized. Can anyone recommend a place that will do small pieces like 8"x6"x1" or...

    Gonna try it...sugar carbs dairy...

    Yes. Been on it for a couple of years. It really helped to stabilize my blood sugars throughout the day. Before I would go through times in the day where I was kind of shaky or craving food so I dont get that any more. My AC1 - which is averaged over 3 months - is now just below 6. Diabetes...

    Gonna try it...sugar carbs dairy...

    First. Based on what you describe I would go to a doctor and get my A1C levels checked. It sounds as though you could be a candidate for Type 2 Diabetic. This is Life threatening but is controllable. How old are you and how much do you weigh? Do your feet feel tingly or numb? I'm Type 1 which...

    Is there anyway to set an alert on Kijiji but exclude a particular advertiser/poster? I'm keeping my eye out for an RZ project and some parts, but 99% of the posts are from Chifor Racing and its all complete junk at two or three times the price of stuff that I can still walk into Snow City and...

    YSR 80 winter project body work painted – some questions about Powder Coating

    I’m making a lot of headway on my little YSR 80 and did the paint on the weekend. I was able to use my friend Sid’s booth as his shop is closed Saturday and Sunday. On his recommendation I ended up buying Proform base and clear (I just ended up using his epoxy and high build primers as he has...

    Iron 883 one of the most beautiful and also maligned motorcycle

    If I were to buy a Harley it would probably be one of these. I would put the 1200 kit on it. I like the blacked out look and I’d have a set of spoked wheels on it. Nothing else in Harley’s line up appeals to me

    Wynne is still punishing us...

    Its still a great perk. The cynical side of me says that if you have RRSP's of TFSA's you will be excluded from CPP in the future.
