So far ?

Yeah , I bet you listened to it. Jus' like I did ! Trivia , that girl was extremely pregnant in that photo !

Some stuff needs to be just loud enuf to be heard . Herb Alpert , Al Green , etc. should be like that .

It is unusual how so many members have similar bikes .

Well , they took the ugliest bike ever produced by MG and turned them into something pretty good looking !

IDK anything about these bikes . Are these hydraulic or cable operated clutches ?

I have been sorting metric/standard bolts/nuts/washers for about 6 weeks (to keep my sanity also) now and I am still sorting things out. I have tried keeping all the MG stuff together just wanting to keep them together. Those bolt thread sort tools have been a savior !

I hope you keep all your old fasteners that you remove from the bike and keep them in a safe place ?

FWIW , remove the spark plug and inspect it . it is probably damaged from the crash. Also, check the spark plug cap . Remove the (unscrew) cap from the wire and check the resistance ( I think it should be 5k) , and look for a tear in the boot.

Just throwin' it out there for you

The best color you can paint it is : hydrographics ! You can have it dipped in a CF coating and it will look RIGHTEOUS !

Nawww

In 10,000,000 years his music will still be ahead of the times .

MG Cycle has a socket (IDK if it is the correct socket or not) for sale on their site . $55ish .

Mmmm. I understand .

The only crummy experience I had was coming back from Anna, Il. at night and my l.h. valve cover gasket let go and had about 1 qt of oil on my left side soaking my BRAND new boots/brand new Levis by the time I got home . I didn't know that much oil could come out of a valve cover

And they probably feel like pantyhose !

I heard it was like Green Acres / Noah's Ark . I was moving stuff around and boxing up V11 , 1000 and V Strom stuff . When I was putting all the gaskets together I found stuff in these washing powder boxes torn apart and taped together to send my stuff to me. I couldn't bring myself to throw this stuff away. I could get rid of the contents first. When I first started dealing w/them , everything was sent w/a grocery store ticket showing the amount on the honor system .

That is FUNNY

Me too . When Joe & Ida Mae Eish stopped , I had to go somewhere else and MG seemed like the place to go .

What pats are you searching for ?

if there is NO metallic particles in the pan , you should be good to go . Leave the rods/rod bolts alone unless you install NEW bolts. I understand these capscrews are sensitive. When you go back together fill the filter w/oil just to CYA ! You are going to go back w/the Roper Plate addition ? I will have to check out the Valtec tensioner . Can you post a link to the timing chain tensioner ?

15.85mm= 5/8" . I am speaking as far as I can go on the subject w/o tearing something down . You will have to do this . IDK if there are casting #s on this anywhere or not ? This front braking system is expanding 8 pistons so I can see the need for a large bore to push more fluid .

I would think MG Cycle would have/offer all these parts. I would patronize them (personal preference) first and see what they stock . The fr. brake master cyl is a 12mm bore and the rear brake is a 15mm bore. I THINK all the calipers are 32mm fr. & rr..

On Harper's , go to brakes and the scroll down , they show front & rear kits but no caliper kits. Rear m/cyl. kit 17659350 for $39.44 and the front kit 17659352 is $29.95 .
