Think is, modern diesels are infinitely better than the old knockers of yesteryear. You guys barely see the advances because your fuel is so crap the particulate emmisions from ANY diesel engine are

It's the Shell Rotella-T 5w-40 synthetic I've read good things about and what is in my W650 now. It's a common oil used for turbo diesels so should do well in a Grand National I would think. Most

Good point John. There have also been cases of portraying a false image involving members of this group who have put badges of marques on their Kawasaksi in attempt to make people think that they are

I can only assume that HD riders in your neck of the woods are very different to those around here or you are riding around with a very blinkered outlook. Whilst in Cornwall I came across 3 HD riders

I gave serious consideration to putting a 20 horse Kubota engine of mine into an old 78 Gold Wing... but I'm getting too old to waste time on those kinds of projects!--- In W650riders@...,

The ones you see today are yuppies trying to look bad. Half of them have fake pony tails attached to their do-rags. They want to look like the guy they were afraid of when they were younger! These

I can certainly 'get' what you are saying. I often ride slowly...Both my Honda 50's barely manage 35 and a few years ago I crossed Zimbabwe on a 55mph 125 CB92. I rather like the idea of a big loafing

The pipes and jets go without saying whether you put the 1200 kit on or not. What's wrong with marrying for sex? I've had great sex for going on forty years! James Franklin <jimw650@...>

He was trying. I'm sure that the majority of Harley owners like to blat about slowly. That was never my issue unless they hold traffic up, which is when they become as arrogant and as low down the

So, Greg, how's your dubya running now?? The carb ever get cleaned out OK?? Vernon

I don't know what your experience with Harleys is, but I have built many EVO Harleys to better than 90 horsepower and never had one fail yet. The stock crank is good for a build to better than 120 hp.

If they'd dropped the Venture motor in the Royal Star unmodified, it would have been one heck of a cruiser. But Yamaha misjudged the American market and figured that since harleyts were selling so

I doubt I would ride one in UK either! "larry.botheras@..." <larry.botheras@...> wrote: I'm one who buys into the character thing... I ride a Guzzi for that reason, own a KH400 and

Well, as a Starfire owner myself, I think that bike looks great. A clever idea producing a nice looking bike that is, I suspect, much more useable on modern roads than the original. As Tim Britton

I've heard some horror stories on Sportsters made prior to 04, i.e, the Sportster Sport. In 04 the Sportster got rubber engine mounts so the vibration didnt shake mirrors and parts off. The Sportster

I rode an 05 1200r which in 04 and 05 the 1200r had more compresion than the standard 1200. The 1200r also has dual discs up front, a tach, and a wider bar for better handling. My impressions of the

The list of bikes that will roll away from a Harley without downshifting or over revving, is too long to list here. The Harley is closer compared to a John Deer than a big block Chevy..you want the

Some time ago on this group a member mentioned a comment Jay Leno had made about seeing a dubya at the Rockstore once.....I don't recall the exact statement supposedly made but it was kinda slightly

The Royal Star was a big disappointment for me when I rode one..the old 1983 Venture made 100 HP (almost same engine except 100cc less), the Royal Star made 65 HP and is geared so that 4th and 5th

No one that I know of just enlarged the 883 to 1200cc without pipes and usually an after market carb, but even at your $300 guesstimate..it costs $600 bucks more (higher initial cost plus
