He can buy my set for that, and get a hi lift jack with a bed mount...

 

Those quad carbs are no fun . If you end up doing the work . Setup a big table and keep everything organized. Also looks like you got a aftermarket exhaust . Check to make sure they jetted the carb with the right jets . That could make it run like shit too. Get the tools for the cables like mike said . And you will need a sync tool too .

 

Trail gear sliders would cost only a bit more. besides weighing about 6x more than a normal slider. I used 2x6-3/16ths for the rear bumper I made and it had to weigh 90+Lbs, before I added hoops and the tire carrier. Besides if your using 2x6 and you angle it at all its going to be like boatside's...(maybe your onto something). I would use 1x1-3/16ths and make something that looked like a traditional slider for looks and strength.

Im really contemplating getting weld on DOM sliders to replace my bolt-on's because I don't like where the front mounts on mine... If you plan on using the trailgear tcase skid/xmember don't mount you slider frame plate in front of the stock xmember.

 

POUNDS. I pay nothing

 

Sorry, I thought you were talking cost. That's freakin heavy for sliders. I think the pair of mine don't even weigh as much as one of yours. Mock them up first to make sure you like the look of that big honkin chunk of steel hanging out from below the cab.

 

ghey

 

That's the plan. Going to look at a DD truck now.

 

Alex just invest in these tools because being your first bike you'll have another soon enough.

When I did my twin carbs it was a royal bitch to sync them. One is bigger than the other ones a primary and the other is a secondary so there was a little tweaking. I now have an idle adjustment on the side that control both carb idle circuits. On hot days it idles high so I just adjust on the fly. Carb work is time consuming but super easy and I enjoy it on small engines. I just rebuilt a 1400CFM Holley for a friend F THAT

 

you may need a bigger lift I think mine weigh about 40-45lbs each...

 

Hey guys. As most of you already know Rachel and I are doing a cookout for the NE guys from TW going to Rausch. What day do you guys want to do it? Tomorrow or friday?

 

I think I'm gonna get a second set off eBay if mine are indeed gummed up, and I'll have the shop rebuild and tune them. The spare set of carbs is only like $90 on eBay so whatever.

I really think that there is just a little bit of gunk in there, and hopefully the carb cleaner will get them running right!

I'll start by draining the old gas and refilling with 91 octane and a good amount of carb cleaner. Let it idle/rev it with that and see what happens.

I think the bike was jetted properly for this exhaust too by the way

 

Friday. I prob won't be in till like 6 tomorrow. Maybe later.

 

Tomorrow works!

I did not know aboot this

 

No preference here Rob. Whatever works for you guys. You got the whole gang. Thanks again and let us know if you need anything. Can make a pick up. This is my first time to that area but I'm sure there's a market nearby. Ttys

 

Doesn't matter to me

There is a market about 10 miles from the hotel . I will show you where it is . I need to pick up some deli meat for sandwiches and snacks .

 

Hey Alex, we have to talk. I have a buddy who's a cycle mechanic. Works on all sorts of engines. Works cheap. Quality work. Last time I had my carbs cleaned, jetted and synchro'd plus exhaust cost me $300 from another guy about 10 yrs ago. That was a good price back then I thought. Will talk in Pa. Happy for you bro.

 

How many stops are you planning ? If you leave by 9:30/ 10:00, you'll be there by 3/4:00. No ?

 

Friday works.
How was Hershey Park?

 

That works for me! I have no idea what I'm doing on this thing.

Thanks for the connection man. I need things done on a budget and I want them done right

 

Is the clutch cable or hydro? What about the brake hydro?
