Chuck

Thanks for that, Scud. Wish I was 20 or 30 years younger.. but if wishes were fishes..

Thanks. He never used it. Yet.

Here's one I did for the Kid.. 002 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr

Different strokes for different folks.. give me a Conti Attack any day.

^^^^^ ferinstance.. http://www.americanmototire.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=732&products_id=6384

The hot setup on the Centauro back in the day included K&Ns. Yes, you lost a little at the top, but gained mid range. At least, that was my experience.. and it was with a bunch of other mods done at the same time.

The bend looks different. There are several things about that bike that make you say.. uhh.. Frankenbike? Not that there's anything wrong with that.. especially at Halloween. The AeroLario is certainly a Frankenbike.

The Kid has Classic Attacks on his Spot and loves em. I *assume* they make them in the right size for a LMIII.

Yeah, I'd say crash.

Certainly not a cafe sport.

Brad's aware of that..it's not his first rodeo. Once in a great while you'll find a steal. I know a guy that bought a low mileage silver V11 for 2K. Of course, he'll put some money and a fair amount of time in it sorting it out, but that was a buy. Really, a Greenie for 3.5 isn't bad..

Welcome from the midwest! More Greenies=a good thing.

How about some pix of the transmission hoses?

Check's in the mail. Oh. You've heard that one?

Uhh, the original premise was.. I might have been the first to add an opinion. Sorry.

Hey! I have an RC.. even cooler.. Rubber Chicken

Ok, I'll play. Currently, Motrex 10-60 syn in the powerplant, and Redline shockproof light in the transmission and rear drive. I ran the Centauro (similar architecture) 42K miles on Mobil 1 V twin and Mobil 1 75W/90 in the transmission and rear drive without issue. Using synthetics, I change once a year or every 6K miles. Filter once a year. If a guy is willing to change more often, I'm sure that any quality SG rated dino oil from around 20-50 would be fine. Why Shockproof light? Many if not most run heavy. Heavy is so tenacious that if you follow a regimen of drain and measure, quite a bit of Heavy will stick to the gears and you will overfill (especially) the rear drive. BTDT. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it..

Oh, boy.. an oil thread. Where's that popcorn emoticon?

Actually, the GrisoGirl wasn't half bad.. for an ..ahem.. older girl. She went out on the "fast guys" ride and looked pretty good. 2017-10-15_01-41-22 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr Scud has a better picture with her bike.

Crap. At any rate, here's the bearing number.. http://www.mcmaster.com/#5909K13 and the washers http://www.mcmaster.com/#5909K73 I've been meaning to do it when I get a a round touit, but haven't done it yet..

I *think* I remember reading somewhere that the trim setting affected fuel and ignition across the board.. but I could be dreaming.

You have uncovered my evil scheme..

I'm betting that is your noise. What do I win?

He's as bad as me about carrying a phone. He may or may not answer a text today. Some work with calipers should get you the answer. https://www.mcmaster.com/#thrust-washers/=19x8u71 You need the thrust/needle bearings, of course. Ace told me he experimented with running with a valve cover off at high rpm (kind of messy) and the pressure of the pushrods moved the rocker arm back and forth in a blur. He assumes that eats horsepower, and came up with this bearing idea.

Brad (The Kid) used the bearings in his 1100 Spot. I'll shoot him a text and see if he still has the part numbers. They were inexpensive..
