Soviet Steeds

I saw where someone mentioned that this should sell 2k or so less than the asking price. Can you explain that? I'd appreciate any thoughts and good questions to ask. Thanks for your time! Ray Having a similar year rig, I found the biggest thing that hampered my speed is wind and a dirty filter. I w...

I wonder why they didn't use spoke weights?

The shop that mounts my tires recently went all in on the stick on wheel weights over spoke weights.

Hopefully, you run into Mr. Wazzock from this site. He also is sporting a terracotta CT with a trailer at times.

To the folks that only did half of their tubs and such, why not coat the entire thing? Is it a weight issue? I was thinking of doing all the metal on my tub and bike. I have no issues with the white gloss on my rig, I love the finish, but wanted something that stood up to the abuse the inside of th...

Some one on here posted pictures of their bike and tub after getting both painted with tuck bed liner paint. I had a couple questions. Did you do it your self, or have a shop do the painting? How is it holding up ? How much was the cost of the paint job? I did it myself. I took off the tub and sand...

The stock M2Boxer should be really close to already dialed in for a 750cc pre 2014.

I am going to agree with you. This reminded me immediately of Tomcatfixer's piston on the Mobile Chernobyl. His was caused from predet. damage on low octane fuel if I recall.

Thank you, I missed the gasket. I was looking at the alternator parts list.

That paper gasket can fail for no reason at times. Just a head's up. You can buy a sheet or roll of thin gasket material. Using the old one, you can trace a new one and cut it out. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Nobody needs this "asset"?

I "seat" what you did there.

My 2021 killer is my '85 Bronco restore.

I had to take off the tank, but I fixed the problem..... 3 letters.

After a four or five months without a running bike, it felt incredible to be back on three wheels again!

That is great to hear! I was wondering what the hold up was on the M.C.
