    Slimey Crud run Sunday October 5th

    I haven’t done the ride for a few years. I’ve done it in rain once and it was brutal. By the end of the day I couldn’t pull the clutch in anymore. The last time I did it was 28deg when I left. It actually turned out to be a great day.

    Slimey Crud run Sunday October 5th

    The Indian is beautiful. I wish I would’ve went. I’m breaking in my new Africa Twin and I’m itching to get more miles on it. The guys I ride with didn’t want to ride today.

    Your favorite car 'if you had the wherewithall'...

    My favorite car that I owned was my 87 Toyota MR2. It was fully loaded with t-tops and a tiny 1.6l. It was the best handling car I've ever owned. When I met my wife for the first time we were walking to my car and she just laughed. Because the car was so low it only came up to my waist being...

    waste oil heaters

    The issues that my friend ran into was with oil blends. It would burn conventional oil just fine. Then he tried full synthic oil and it wouldn't burn correctly and clogged the jets in the furnace. And since that's what he has the most of he has since switched it bag to fuel oil.

    overhaul list

    Thanks for all the tips guys. I found the gasket set on amazon and saved $25. I ordered the front cam chain guide and chain from Boat.net and the rest from Mikes. My bike has only been torn apart for 2 years. I've been busy with kids and work. I'm really looking forward to getting it back together.

    I completely forgot about boats.net thanks. Do you guys usually replace your cam chain tensioner assembly? Mine has wear but doesn't look to bad.

    overhaul list

    The engine was running strong when I took it out. The cam chain guide was falling apart. When I take it to my friend shop he is going to check the cylinders. If it needs a bore it's going to 700cc. Thanks Twomany. I've been trying to find an oem slipper but I can't.

    overhaul list

    I'm just making sure that I haven't forgot anything. I'm going to make an order on friday. I'm going to buy a gasket set on ebay and save $20 and I already have new rings. What do you guys think?

    XS Engine stand plans

    A friend of mine built a stand similar to this one for rebuilding MX engines. It works very well. It allow him to spin it upside down and redo top ends.

    waste oil heaters

    A friend of mine is turning an old fuel oil furnace into a waste oil burner. He found a dvd online that tells you how to do it. The biggest thing that he has found out is you need to heat the oil before you burn it. If i make it up to his shop I'll try and get some pictures of his setup.
