Might be just my opinion, and it's worth what you are paying for it, but I would not be using lock washers like that on a sprocket or for that matter not many places. Seen too many fail over the years. My preference for soft metals would be to use a good harden steel flat washer properly...

Only thing from my experience I might add is that gasket can be a tough one to scrap as I imagine on some bikes it has been there for a few decades. Plus the fact that it is recessed in the cover which doesn't help. Do it on a cold rainy day when you are not in a hurry to go for a ride and...

Might help to say what motorcycle this is or at least the year as there have been some changes over the years! Or maybe post a picture of yours?

Looks good but how about showing it going for more that a few seconds??? You could leave off those springs and the PVC Elbow and it would "run" just as good or longer. Add a little more weight to the flywheel and get more "running" time out of it!

For me it's been what 3 hours! But then I'm talking about a little 2006 Ford Ranger with a four banger and five speed!

Glad to see it where it belongs instead on the shelf in my basement!

If I was to try installing one of those I would try to get some dry ice or better yet liquid nitrogen. For liquid nitrogen I'd check with places that supply welding gases. They may know of a customer who regularly uses it and might be able to help you. Another place would be machine shops as...

Well I'm going to turn 74 next Tuesday and I'm not sure some days if I can out do my dad who managed to get to 86.

How about just taking the other one out the lock strap is on and go to the hardware store and match it up? Might also want to check the others while you're at it. If some one left one out or loose I would not trust the others!

I can't see it in the video, but is the rubber bushing bad in the shock letting the hole for the bolt not be centered? Not sure if you can push them out and rotate it so the hole is aligned better. Also I hope you are aware that one of the bolts is missing out of the rear sprocket!

I have a Dell Inspiron 531 I got second hand from the guy I took a computer to to have fixed. He said something major, maybe mother board was the problem. Have no idea the age of this machine wonder if there is a way to find out? All I know is Microsoft says it can not support anything past...

Maybe he just wanted to be sure he got the bread home while it was still fresh!

This reminded me of an older lady who lived in what might be considered a slum-lords apartment in the small city near where I grew up. There were four or five apartments in this building with small "front yards" actually mostly gravel and a few weeds, probably 10 by 20 feet in size. Her "yard"...

If I recall correctly in his short racing career he did finish 2nd a couple times.

Every time I see that or other crazy build I have to wonder what could have been built with the skills and money put into that that might be close to practical! Like maybe scale it back to a V-6 or 8?
