torch

Touche. Although neither did the OP. IIRC, he did it in the second or possibly third place. There was mention of an ultrasonic cleaner...

I'm not saying he did, but: Compared to using an oxy-acetelyne torch, the propane has overall lower heat and is therefore less likely...

I would recommend measuring the bores in the caliper for diameter and parallelism very carefully after subjecting them to that kind of...

If I was designing it from scratch, I'd make sure the charging system could handle the load 100% of the time, and keep the turbine...

Now you're back to a turbo-like boost profile, although possibly with less lag. Personally, I've ridden a couple of turboed MCs in my...

I thought about that. A couple of challenges that come to mind: First of course is the electrical draw required. The bike may or may not...

How do you drive one of those? I imagine it would require at least some sort of custom engine case casting for a power take-off?

I found the side panels do make a difference to rider comfort during a long ride in cold weather (which I would define as just above...

The FJR compression ratio is 10.8:1 -- a touch high, but theoretically possible for a mild-boost build with the right tune. There are...

Scary feeling. I had that once when Pandora was waving bye-bye entering a curve and hit some residual winter road sand.

The 03 didn't really need a crown. She'd hoist her wheel and wave goodbye in 1st or 2nd (and could keep it up for a bit in 3rd). Geared...

There's 3 fuse locations on the Gen1. You only have to remove the black plastic trim panels to access all 3, not the front (painted)...

Interesting. The Gen 1 chart seems a bit optimistic compared to what I recall. IIRC, top speed of Pandora in 5th gear at redline was...

Not all, USA only. Canadian and European ECUs are married to the immobilizer system installed on the bike. Make sure you get a US ECU if...

The problem with that theory is Canadian emissions standards equal US regulations. In fact, to harmonize the North Amerian standard...
