Re: Multitude of parts for sale

I need parts, I'm getting old too so I have to think what exactly, and in the order of most to least needed, which is a weighted statistic I'm not sure how to measure, a cross between what I'm missing and what's been harder to find, add that I go for months, sometimes years, unable to afford anythin...

Re: Custom Motorcycle Welding School

It’s maybe 7-8 years ago I put out about $2k for a multi process machine from Everlast Generator, very fancy all digital and very heavy, what’s especially interesting and one of the selling points for me was the “pulsed” mig feature.

Toomey Expansion Chambers

Still looking for a set of Toomey exhaust to replace the ones I sold with my RZ500 in the early 90s.
Any condition considered but they must be original Toomey from 1985-86

Ebay wanted ad?

Never seen this before a reverse “wanted” ad on the eBay platform, surprised it hasn’t been flagged yet. The gentleman appears to be looking for an engine, no indication what their price range is, my suspicion n it’s just one of those Craigslist two strokes wanted people looking for something they c...

Re: marlboro paint code?

All fluorescent color will disappear when exposed to UV sunlight, and very quickly in bright Florida sun. Neon colors last less than 12 months even with UV protective clears if continual exposure.

Re: My project (1GE)
