    I was never a fan of the V6 conversion, but remember the JT3000 as being very successful. A mate had one in his T2 and he could wheelie it on pull away. My boet slapped a Toyota 2ct in his, which was brilliant. First time in that Kombi's life that it could cruise all day at 120K/h. Got an...

    Repairing a Honda 650L poly (plastic) tank...

    I sure hope that's a Honda 650L's tank, and not a Honda's 650L tank. I had to read it a couple of times.

    Is that a Woody? I am very disappointed. Here was I hoping you were coming home with a Morris Minor station wagon

    Have you tried a 50/50 mixture of ATF and acetone. I find it works wonders for rusty nuts and bolts

    Please don't fit that dice knob. It is disgustingly zef. On a lighter note, and an old one, but thinking of George and your comment. "Did you know that dogs cannot operate an MRI, but cats can"

    800GS cutting out when gearing down

    Yes you can. Not sure if you can do it without cutting wires, but there is a thread on this, do a search. It involves joining a couple of wires. I have been riding without a sidestand switch for years now, since mine disintegrated

    VIN nommer asseblief.

    ok, so same as a 2008 GSA. I'll bet you won't need the VIN next time you buy a battery. I very seldom deal with Lynn Schroeder anymore. I use Donvan at Beaming MC in George for servicing

    So at the end of the day, what is the correct battery for your bike? My boet's 1200GSA takes the same battery as my 800, a YTX14BS. Last battery I bought was from Midas and I didn't check the numbers correctly, it looked the same at a glance. Came home, filled with electrolyte, and then only...
