    Head gasket leak...

    With further close inspection I found some oil residue around the other plug on cylinder #1 albeit just a tiny bit, along with the same on one of the plugs for #2. I'm gonna clean and degrease everything after I reseal the valve cover gasket and send it with fingers crossed for the season. We'll...

    Head gasket leak...

    Right. Had the same holes on the 955 and 1050 speed triples I had. I did pull one of the boots on cylinder #1 but the oil very well may have run along the gasket from a different cylinder. I am hoping that's all it is, I haven't heard of any triples with head gasket problems.

    Head gasket leak...

    Thanks Gregger, after work I'll check all 6 now that the tank is off and I can really get a closer look at all of them.

    Head gasket leak...

    Figured I'd ask the pros on here for a little advice. Noticed an oil weep behind the oil tank at the end of last season, finally got around to investigating and it looks like the head gasket. Not the cam cover gasket, that leaks on the exhaust side. Lol. No trace of oil above the head gasket and...

    My Rocket glide, custom, work in progress.

    Here's some shots of the brackets, not the best, but should give you an idea of what you need to do. When i pull the fairing to do the frame work I'll try and remember to take pictures.

    Bigjaype, to the unfamiliar bystander or at a glance from the front I can understand that thought, but anybody that knows even a little about bikes should see the giant radiator hanging there and realize something is not like all the other "me too" bikes. Lol

    My Rocket glide, custom, work in progress.

    ve1rfb, not much to modify on the mount. I just bent the mounting plates to match the angle of the rocket neck webbing ( the flat parts that the plastic trim bolts to) and cut the top of them off at the same angle as the motor mount tubes. Installed 2 threaded inserts in the web plate on each...

    My Rocket glide, custom, work in progress.

    The whole point of a custom bike is to be different. That's why we build them. This isn't a track bike by any means, although I'll take it on one any day. The power mods are for fun, the suspension and brake mods were done simply because, as we all know, both in factory form are atrocious. As...

    New tire needs balancing?

    Sunny, bb's like ammunition for bb guns.

    New tire needs balancing?

    2 ounces of bb's in the rear tire before the bead is seated. Works like a charm and no weights needed. Plus your tire won't go out of balance with wear.

    Wobble

    I've had head shake accelerating up on ramps with loose head stock nuts. Different from the often accused loose screw.
