That's good to know/didn't know that?

Pretty incredible procedure. The "cuts" are so precise it's amazing they are being done with apparently a chain.

Welcome to you.
Add your general location and model to your signature line too.

I think whenever a post question like this comes up it inadvertently becomes whether some bike or brand is authentic historically or not. My feeling is who cares if "the look" is what you want, just have fun. That's another conversation. The scabbard is cool but really and back to my earlier post......

Took care of one of those "just bugs me" things. If I make a hard right-turn the running/accessory light on the right-side makes slight contact with a winch I installed about 10 months ago. Over time it gets loose so I raised both sides yet another inch. Then went for a ride to buy some more Christm...

That looks real good.
On Cargo Box car?

stagewex, this is the second version of my expedition tub that's hooked up to my 2002 1150 GS. Here's a full view shot.

Wow, looks amazing.

I run a prop/replica 30. cal for local parades. That's pretend.
As far as the real-deal goes whether in a car/truck/Ural, out-of-site = out-of mind. No need or want to have the conversation.

Slow speed wobble is tuned out with a twist of the knob. You should be able to eliminate that without a damper. If you have the original steering head bearings with loose balls and races its probably shot. The retrofit tapered bearings are much better, but they're often adjusted too loose. There sh...

The dog in back is pink. Stop by and bought the Ural. Definitely a project bike. This should keep me busy this winter.

Congrats & Good Luck with your Winter project.

That's a Good One.

Thanks guys – yeah pretty rough over there so I understand We're a pretty spoiled country when it comes to an unseen and invisible enemy. Even if in the end the enemy is actually us. Yesterday we were blessed with unseasonably warm weather in the Northeast so many folks were able to move their cele...

The overflow hose, the one that just kinda hangs out on the right-side of the bike and exits into nowhere (the ground). Because of it's exposure to the air/atmosphere on the open end that's usually the first to degrade either at the bend up top from the tank or altogether. That by itself has been ch...

I don't know crap about throttle-bodies, maps (I keep them in my glove box) or efi on a Ural but that sounds really nice.
Congrats, looking better and better all the time.

Man, what is up with all that tank crud? You guys scooping the gasoline up off the ground before putting it in the tank? Everytime I've pulled the main line to drain tank and into clean jug/can, never had any particles. I pulled the tank valve once and the only crud was silver flakey stuff from the...
