    federal election - who are you voting for

    Our (The LPC) problem is that there are no solid back room liberals left. A lot actually left when he was elected and went to the NDP. I don't think its an accident that the NDP are drifting further towards the centre. My biggest concern with Trudeau is he is like a little child, he was...

    Decent Engine Paint?

    Unfortunately I can't powder coat as a lot of the parts are plastic :(

    Decent Engine Paint?

    I normally just powder coat but this motor has a lot of plastic pieces that have faded from black to a grey colour. Anyone have any recommendations for a good quality, chemical resistant semi gloss black paint - NOT duplicolor or other paint bombs I could use a single stage urethane but none...

    UPS - Have they changed their brokerage rates?

    Possibly, that could make a difference. It is shipping through Louisville, KY though. I remember I had a couple of shocks shipped from California in May and they wanted $175 for brokerage :(

    UPS - Have they changed their brokerage rates?

    I'm getting a package from the UK that's worth about $1000. The company only ships UPS so I generally clear UPS packages myself as there is a CBSA office right across the street from the office. I phoned UPS to let them know I would clear it and to send me the commercial invoice, and they...

    Furnace Rebates + New Furace - tips

    Just replaced mine along with the Air Conditioner. It was 20 years old so I thought it was time. They had to run new plastic exhaust/inlet pipes as its high efficiency. They just go straight out through the wall. There was a $250 rebate on it. I had a friend who installs and services...

    Willy's the best :) He's entertaining as well. Where did you get your stainless hardware? I'm doing a Hybrid at the moment and don't want to send all the bolts off to get them replated as its not going to be original. Buying through ProBolt is very expensive and its hard to get the right thread...

    anyone rebuild goldwing carbs gta or ont?

    Randakk's used to be really good http://www.randakks.com/ but he is so busy with the parts side of the business that he no longer provides service, just the kits. I have heard great things about CBXtras from a few of the CVMG guys although I have never personally used their services. They are...

    Rebuilding a 2 stroke?

    Yes, its actually 14.7 x 12.5 (+/- 0.5) which works out best case to be ~190 PSI. I don't have a port map of the cylinder but I'll have a look on line and see if I can find one. I'm assuming the port hight is around 20mm so ~130 or 140 should be achievable with my back of the napkin estimate...

    Rebuilding a 2 stroke?

    I think it depends if the kit was packaged up on a Monday morning or Friday afternoon :) Seriously, I bought a 290 Athena Big Bore kit for an RMZ250 once and when i measured the piston it was an A when it should have been a C. I had to get them to exchange it, but I would imagine that is a...

    Rebuilding a 2 stroke?

    I've been using Millennium Technologies and IHMO i think they are by far the best in North America - http://www.mt-llc.com/ I just had a YZF250 cylinder done and it was a lot, lot, lot worse than yours :) With the exchange rate your looking at somewhere between $2-300 but your cylinder is...

    Rebuilding a 2 stroke?

    The Mitaka pistons come in a range of sizes with very minor increments of 0.01mm and have to be selected properly to suit the bore as the plating and cylinder diameter varies. https://www.pjme.co.uk/acatalog/Aprilia_RS125_Engine_Top_End_.html Was this done? I've seen this on MX bikes where...

    2 up tank mounted handle for SS

    Functionally these things are brilliant. They had one on a bike at the CSS when I did a couple of laps behind one of the instructors. I tried both belt types with my kid when he was younger. The one attached to the rider is useless and all you can feel is a bunch of loose weight floating...

    None of our Politician's deserve our Vote

    Biggest humanitarian crisis of the last decade and all these guys are using it in a game of political “one up man ship” to try and win votes. Party 1, “We’ll take 10,000 refugees” Party 2, “No wait, we’ll take 20,000” Party 3, “Well, we’ll do it all before Christmas”. The election is not...

    1982 rd 350

    I think its worth doing. I have 3. I have a 82 race bike (the frame is actually a Harris TZ Replica), a 81 street bike and am actually doing another 82 at the moment. This one will be a hybrid with a RZ350 motor. Good news is that you can still get almost all the parts either from Yamaha or...
