  1. Agreed, with the previous concerns noted if they come off they should just be made new. There are many fasteners on this thing that show their age, and those I replace will probably be replaced with stainless steel as a matter of appearances but also remove any question about serviceability. And yes, I know the different grades of stainless steels and their applications.
  2. The PO is still out of town so I can't ask if he's found any additional bits- Taking inventory of what I need to acquire, at least the things I can identify before I need them. 1 pivot bolt and nut 1 long crossbolt for rear trans mount through the porkchops Easy enough to find at the breakers, but there are many different pivot bolts and not always identified adequately by the seller... What fits, who may know? it appears some differences may be nothing more than the tool used to turn the bolt, and the style of nut retaining it.
  3. Is that the same tail piece as the green one posted above? Perhaps it's the angle of the photo that makes the green one look like a frog's butt? This one is so close but so much better.
  4. That looks like a stunter's GSXR after too many wheelie loops. Nice tank, tho.
  5. The things you learn along the way. Herb Alpert is the 'A' in A&M Records.
  6. Oye, they've had U.S. Passports for 40 years. Edit; in fact Herb Alpert was born in Los Angeles. lol
  7. I grew up on Sergio Mendez, even before I could operate the turntable. And Herb Alpert. My fav.
  8. Funny, the common instrument makes it so easy to hear. I played them at the same time, and while not on track it makes the common elements more obvious.
  9. I am currently in the process of sorting out all the fasteners I've kept over the past 45 years, and those my Father and Grandfather kept as well. I expect the scrap weight of those discarded will buy coffee and donuts for at least a week.
  10. TLDR lol I always use the phone upright, and my Win7 edit program displays them in whatever orientation it feels like. Then I have to rotate to upright, save, and re-open to verify that it's what I want to post. Sometimes it's not important, as with these. I decided early on to be a lazy computer user rather than an adept or a programmer. I still lament WIN XP.
  11. Oh Hej, them footpeg guys- https://www.probrake.de/stumellenker-revo-fuer-moto-guzzi-v-11-sport-kr-1997-2002-97-02-kr
  12. Installed the Roper plate today. A couple pics to quell Docc's pic addic Longer bolts leave about 1 thread unfilled. Happy. New O-rings in cooler tubes make less worries. Fit is perfect as before. I do wonder why my photo edits turn themselves sideways or upside down.
  13. Her moment of inertia is centered around her shoulders.
  14. I've added this info to the first post in this thread as well. | Plates are $85 US, shipped to North America. International is plus actual shipping. I've sourced 2mm longer bolts (12 short, not 4 long) for the upper pan to keep thread engagement length through the plate and additional gasket. I've sourced Viton O-rings for the oil cooler pipes; I discovered mine were harder and uncomfortably loose in the bores. I've stocked upper and lower gaskets I can include all of the above for $135 US including shipping to North America. International shipping is $125 US plus actual shipping.
  15. I'll check, of course, but I'd rather find jeans.
  16. I am not going to participate in a thread about leather and pantyhose
  17. I think I can still fit into my leathers...
  18. There's no sign of anything amiss so far as my fingers can tell. I'll turn the engine through a few times and do a leakdown test, wiggle the valve stems; if there's any question at all I'll have the heads done. I'll get a look at the cam from the bottom too, though the P.O. says he used exclusively Mobil 1 so I don't expect any problem. I'd hate to have to do all the work to fit the Web 86b in this one and then tune it too... It'd be ok if somebody had a forgotten set of Carrillo rods under the workbench they wanted coffee and donut money for too lol

  20. @pete roper What's your opinion on main and rod bearings, with ~67k miles showing? Oil pan had a light coat of the brownies, but been sitting a decade- oil filter shows '09 install date so maybe quite longer, nobody is certain. The owner took pretty good care of it, oil changes balance TBs etc. Used Mobil 1 throughout, he said. My inclination is to install a Valtec tensioner, button it up and run it unless a leakdown shows that it needs heads.
  21. My front MC piston measures 15.85mm. hm. Powerhouse Automotive says they have caliper kits if I can confirm piston diameter, but they do not have master cylinder bits. <shrug>
