I put an order in to Burtons yesterday for their Ajusa FB731 along with other bits while waiting for Pegasus to get back to me. The Ajusa is stated as having an 84mm bore and is roughly half the cost...

Compression check:
#1 - 205 psi
#2 - 205 psi
#3 - 180 psi
#4 - 205 psi

Wonder what's up with #3. Checked valve clearances and they are ok. Sprayed wd40 in the plug hole and tried again. 195...

Next came Brooklands. Poor pic, but I think they look great!

I haven't started to look into local race or trackday orgs for the 7 as yet, but do the trackdays typically require car specific helmets? I love my Shoei's for the 2 wheelers on the track or street....

Sorry...last pic dominated by the lightened car jack!

I love it! What a great idea. Now I am wondering if i should make a rack to hold my Givi saddlebags from the K13??! Even cooler would be the...

A little wordy so grab a coffee, or a cocktail depending on what time it is where you are.

I like it already! Aluminum tubing or steel?

Thanks for the info Alaskossie. I was definitely going to go the route of the pipe cutter... nice and clean. I understand the method of attachment but would still love to see your luggage rack. If...

Pulled the starter last night with the intent of just cleaning the power terminal. Found that the solenoid terminal had a fractured solder joint so that was remedied. Then I started to clean the...

I used my old uni-syn last night. Found a slight front/back carb variation, and then a very slight #3 cylinder variation that i fixed with the small bleed screw. All of them seem really nice but...

Yes, similar...but even cuter if possible.
I will use the remaining tubes on the body to make a license plate mount so it wouldn't just leave them unfinished.

make the insert and attach to car...

Exactly this. I have experienced one flat while on the road with bikes for the past 29 years. My k13 that I bought new in 2017 has 21k without any tire issues. Heh, my new to me seven only has...

first drive with the 65 pilots changed out for the 50f8. Idle and run quality is drastically improved! Off idle throttle response is significantly better than with the 65's. Did get increased...

It rained for a day up here and cleaned the roads off good enough for a test drive with the new wheel, diff, and alternator bearings. The difference in noise is really astonishing! Previously...

Yessir! I have one of the small compressors and complete patch kit tucked in the rear side panels of my K1300S. Seat pops off with the key and gives access to the small torx that removes the...

Has anyone made it so they can remove/replace the rear tire carrier? Love the look without it, but also love the originality of it being there.

My thinking - Cut the carrier off about 1" away...

PM sent to be in line for the brooklands.

repost from up above....maybe my pics were still to big...
Rear bearings were a little suspect so they came out as well. The scoring on the balls is kind of interesting...

That far in may...

Come to find out I have 3.9:1 rear ratio. Still marked with the axle sticker and counted teeth to confirm. Is that common for a supersprint with a four speed? Reassembly of the diff went well. ...

Brake backing plates were getting a bit rusty so they got a respray before reassembly.

It is white up here in s'consin so the front to back once over is well underway on the 7. Front wheel bearing inners were pretty toasted, so inners and outers were replaced.

NA 2.5L at 134hp/L...sweet! Cant wait to hear it at full song!

NA 333hp in my pals stock z4m is a treat. I cant even fathom with 1/3 the weight!

Hmm, interesting. I had just adjusted the valves before I noticed the hiccup but very confident they are set to perfect .022" and .024". Granted, they were set cold. Weak springs is a new one to...

Keep it coming...please! Exactly the experience/advice i'm looking for. I did grab both 50 f8 and 50 f9 on saturday. The switch from 65 f8 to 50 f8 was drastic!! The crap 1/4 throttle response...

The 65s sound rich to my yet untrained crossflow ear. The not crisp running seems to be about 5 to 25-ish % throttle. I'll see what Pegasus has for me. (quick looks shows f8 and f9 in stock sizes by...
