Buell Cyclone...if anyone is looking.

by

$2500 locally here in Upstate NY. The guy I talked to this weekend with the Flatheads also has a Cyclone for sale if anyone is interested I can get more info. It's got a few odd parts that look like it was either dropped or in an accident (or maybe just had a wierd owner) but I can find out more if someone wants.

Widder Heated Vest and Thermostat For Sale

by

I figured this to be the #1 place to try and sell this. Not doing any serious riding anymore so some things have to go!

Widder heated vest and thermostat controller. Used a couple of seasons, no rips or tears, excellent condition. Will dramatically extend your riding season.

A few of the main users here know me and can vouch that I'm not a scammer.

$120 plus shipping for both. OBO Have Paypal but MO would be Ok too.

Successfull weekend.

by

Got a few things done. Still crazy busy getting ready to go back to work tomorrow. Cold ride home from the farm. But I managed to get the door for the back side of my Bike shed on hinges. It was 12 inches too narrow and 2 inches too tall. Grand-Dad had it just nailed in place with a couple boards covering the holes.

[linked image]

[linked image]

[linked image]

Now I just need to get it cleared out of some junk that's been in there 20 to 30 years. More space to keep bikes and tractors in there. Will allow me to keep the garage space open for vehicles this winter. Some of my family hasn't realized the trade off between having !!USEABLE!!, Heated shop space and garbage. I got halfway thru the project and my Grand-Dad "suggests" that it would be a good place to store tractors if all that junk wasn't in there. "What an idea... I didn't think of that... well now that we can open this door... the junk can come out pretty easy can't it?" happy.gif

I'm loving it... so I decided that my trip to the hardware store would be on the bike.... needed parts for my door.

My cousin saw me roll thru town and followed me out. Wanted me to follow him.

Snapped a few on the ride.

He was headed to visit a guy that's got a bunch of old Flatheads he's workin on. 1 Servi-car in process, and an Army Bike next in line. Servi-car is being done for AMCA judging. He's also got a load of Aermachi's and Ironheads. Supposedly an ORIGINAL Bi-Centential (Liberty?) bike Harley. I didn't get any pictures in respect of his wishes but an awesome guy to talk to.

After that it was back to finish my door.

Nice day here too

by StarWolve

Was up on the roof, cleaning gutters, and installing some windows on the new house (we bought a new house in the summer, and are finishing up replacing all the windows that needed it.)

Nice view of the backyard from up here:
[linked image]


Dave stopped by on his new Buell Uly. He dropped it playing "dual sport" on a 4x4 trail, and had to adjust his clutch afterwards:
[linked image]

After he got it adjusted, and I finished cleaning up from the construction, we went for a little ride to pick up some more villains. Dave is determined to finish the tour after his wreck, even if it's too late to submit them! He had the camera, so I'll have to wait until he posts them.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Awesome pic! I'll put 'em all up when I git-r-dun. I'm just loving the open road, after four months of wanting. PT kicked my ass, so today was maintenance day: changed out that tranny juice- it stank after slipping the clutch for fifty miles. Then I mugged the Muller Power Clutch and K&N off the wreck.

I said *Doctor Doctor Please I Can't Help The Shape I'm In*

My visit with the neuro surgeon went well yesterday. He said he wnated to check a few things 1st to make sure it isn't something else causing my symptoms before he drilled a hole in my head. I told him that sounded good to me.

Once he found out the VA had already done an eeg, ekg, 2 cat scans, mri's of my breain & spine along with an mra but had refused to give me the copies of the CD's he said he'd get those ASAP & that he would contact me in about a week.

Sounds like the Doc is doing his part, I always like Docs who look the situation over before cutting or drilling. Sometimes a simple solution works, here's hoping that your solution is right around the corner.

such as abbey road - riding around spellbound in a corvair with a 4-trk -high school... an we were

And so it begins

by LSGiant

Started preparation or whatever you may call it on my steed for the Popcycle, Dirt Poker run, and Barn Bike.

So far no show stoppers. The rubber piece that goes from the air box is as hard as a rock. I've found a couple of mixtures to soak it in on the internet. The other challenge is the fuel tank has quite a bit of rust inside. I am not quite sure how I am going to take care of that. Rumor has it that someone has modified a grill with a rotisserie that works well for repairing this malady.

Wish me luck.

Drier on Air Setting....

by

Wrap it in a thick blanket and use the Air Only Setting on the clothes drier. Fill it with a few handfulls of nuts/bolts, BB's orbearings. If it doesn't leak you can put water or some other helpfull fluid in it to help the process along. Depends on the level of rust. Might be easier to just get a different tank.

I've boiled air box to carb boots in water

by

for a while before reinstallation. softens 'em up just right AND keeps your hands warm while you install them.

For the rusty tank

Fill the tank with water.
Take a piece of steel re-bar long enough to protrude out the top of the tank, and tape up the bottom 1" so as to insulate it.
Place a wide-mouth plastic funnel in the filler neck and put the re-bar in through the funnel, so the funnel and the tape insulate the re-bar from the tank.
Get a 10 amp battery charger, preferably one with a current (amp) gauge, and connect the negative clip to the tank and the positive to the re-bar.
Pour salt in through the funnel until the current climbs to 10 amps, and wait approximately 2 minutes.
Check the tank. Continue if necessary, but no longer than absolutely necessary.
Rinse the tank several times, and dry thoroughly. ( perhaps some Dry-and-Go or WD-40 to displace the moisture would be helpful.
The idea is that you electroplate the re-bar with the rust from the tank walls.

The Works - bathroom cleaner

by Apehanger Hank

Has 20% HCL and will clean the tank. Don't leave in over 15 minutes, flush it with acetone when you get done. Helps to coat the inside of the tank in oil (I use Marvel Mystery Oil) after cleaning to prevent flash rusting.
Nice project!

Are you talking a Bike Cam?

by

I have a camera dedicated to riding photos.

Olympus D380. have had it for years. I'm not recommending this camera necessarily but I'll give you the reasons I like it and what I will need when replacing it.

It is the size of a compact 35mm camera. This allows me to handle the camera with riding gloves on. It has a large shutter button. I can keep it in my unzipped pocket with the wrist strap outside. I can slip my hand in the strap and pull the camera out and then put it back when done.

It also has the external lense cover that slides to turn the camera on/off. And there is no Zoom lense so it doesn't poke out of the camera body. This is important becuase cameras who have this option tend to poke the lense into the cover. This causes trouble with the lens. Scratching and such. Also with the lense cover On/Off style it's easy on a bike to operate since there's no Tiny button to push.

D 380

That was my first digital, still use it, tough as nails, ask Lunatic, he watched me pick it up off the road after a 55 mph drop. That was years ago.

I'd hate to think of how many pics I have taken with that ol'D380

big buttons and image stabilizers

by Scot229

I like both of those things. It's not so much of a rally camera as it is a taking pictures of my kid and parts I want to sell camera. I don't know how many rally's I will be attending because I'll be spending my vacation time drag racing. I'm going to need about $1500 just for entry fees & tnt to race next year so rally's are not high on my priority list. I really enjoy riding in the rallies but I enjoy racing even more.

Drag racing

by

I wished I had saved more photos of my old dragbike. GS750 two valve motor. NOt freaky fast but a HOOT. longthened rigid drag style frame. No wheelie bar, just a pipe and jet kit on the engine with pod filters. FUN!!! Banana yellow. Gotta be a photo or two if it around here somewhere. It just got too expensive though, had to stop. 150 miles to the nearest track did not help.

how fast was it

by Scot229

Its really nice being 5 miles from the track. I'm planning on riding in 7 weekend bracket races next year and 10 wed night street races (test n tune run what you brung) Don't know yet what they will say when I show up with a wheelie bar on the wed night race but they let lots of trailer queen race cars with license plates run so I hope they let me do it also. I'm just gonna show up and expect to get teched in. Hell last year they were letting a guy race a motorcycle with an OPEN face helmet. Bet thats not snell approved. Race gas hmmm yummy.

Shhhh don't say that to loud. We always have ice storms just some are worse than others. Yeah I've noticed some area's have regrown quite well however there still are plenty of signs of those last few bad years. Last year we had quite a bad one so I'm hoping we are NOT due just quite yet.

That's a smart idea

by StarWolve

if it's built robustly. It does change the fender fit though, it looks like that wheel will touch the front of the fender when the shocks compress.

I hate all these sidecar posts - It just makes me want to build one!

here's my precious

by Bart

[IMG][linked image][/IMG]

Here's my favorite mode of transportation. Finished another great riding season, around 13K miles, bringing the total on the bike (a '95 R100) to 160K as of yesterday. After 50K miles of sidecar abuse, the single-sided rear swing arm and bearing are holding up just fine. Five years of hack piloting has finally converted me - love this rig I do.

The fender fit is kinda funky but

the wheel, fender and tire all still move as one.

A little funky but functional

by StarWolve

the fender and the wheel all move in the same direction, but due to the relocation of the axle and creating a pivot point for the arm, the tire will move up slightly more than the shock (and fender) will. Nothing wrong with it, it's a slick setup, and there's no good way to mount the fender without some type of additional linkage near the axle (similar to modern Harley springers with fenders - and it's ugly!)

I've been looking at a lot of sidehack stuff online - wish I had the $$$ to build one. Saw one for sale last week in the area, didn't stop because I know I couldn't afford to bring another toy into the garage!

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

My wife agreed that the garage is not for parking cars - so I'll have plenty of space. We're actually looking into building a storage shed next year for all the yard equipment, and I'm sure it will end up being bike storage for the winter, too.

Fly and Ride

by

Bob has a CB900C with a 10 speed trans. I can build the hack. I'll build the whole thing, you just fly out and ride it home. FUN!!!
I was thinking of building it as an ADV hack rig with a small boat for the sidecar. Removeable so you can ride it to the boonies, thenunload and go canoeing. The boat I have in mind is only 250 bucks brand new.

Just wanted to share this with you all...

by StarWolve

I just checked Facebook, and it looks like my friend Dave (the guy who got nailed by a drunk driver while riding on a Grand Tour run this summer) just picked up a 2009 Buell Ulysses. And I would say that's he's recovering from his injuries quite well:
[linked image]

[linked image]

Glad to see he's got a "long distance" bike (compared to his XB) and I'm really looking forward to him joining Reaver and I on some LD rides and the GT next season...

Getting back on wasn't a question for him...

by

He was really concerned with finding a Bike. With his Buell wrecked... and HD's decision to kill the line, he was worried about finding a Uly before they all got nabbed. He said all of Upstate NY was sold out. Not sure but I think he had to go to Pennsylvania for it.

Combat boots ?

by Reaver

Any of you guys wear the Aerostich Combat Touring Boots?

Is there a difference besides ankle hieght in the Regular vs. Lite versions? I'm curious. I don't really like something coming up my leg as high as the regular's appear to. But I wouldn't want to sacrifice anything going to the Lite's for the shorter boot. Suggestions, Comments, Concerns?
Right now I wear my Rocky work boots. They work well for me, but I'm contemplating a future investment.
