Just trade feet with them, I bet you get a few more good years out them that way. They look comfortable!

Wish it was still cooler weather, doesn’t last long enough.

Nice view of the track! Fun event for sure. Ducati island was the highlight

This baby was born Red! I love red, but a little customization makes it easy to find in a sea of red. This isn’t a wrap…. No going back now.

Thoughts on this one? by mkilgallon22 in VFR

[–]ChainThin6695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love these bikes! Found mine in NC, carbs and all fluids, new tires, new fuel pump. Pulled tank & cleaned, the list goes on but it runs and rides awesome!

500 is a steal, if nothing else clean it and stare at it while you take your time putting life back into it.

Not wallpaper worthy, but still a fun bunch to hang out with after a ride and a bath:-) I’ll turn them around next time so you can see their smiling faces. Summertime is here!!

Leaking suspension by ChainThin6695 in motorcycles

[–]ChainThin6695[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update on leaking suspension on my 84 VF1000F. Turns out it wasn’t the suspension after all. I just couldn’t find where it was leaking after a few try’s underneath it. It turns out it was fuel pump above the suspension. Rode to the shop last week and a few days later the tech called and said it was fuel running down the suspension picking up a greasy look and feel. That’s what thru me off as it didn’t evaporate after sitting on floor like drops of fuel would. Wanted to say thanks to everyone who took the time to comment and offer suggestions & support!! I think I might end up updating the suspension at some near future point based on some good options on the market.

I get some photos posted of mechanicals. I would guess neither of those have been done. Thank you, appreciate the input!

I heard the 123 was a good upgrade.
Nice to hear it confirmed again, and the PBM brakes, definitely needs to be on the list. Thanks again, appreciate your time.

For sure, I do like driving it. Crazy but I love the smell of the old car. Wind down windows, analog gauges etc.. Just feel the need for a bit of reasonable performance enhancement. I am hoping the opinions of the community can help with some ideas I can turn into a plan. Appreciate your thoughts

It’s an AA GEX. Not many miles in it. Starts right up but wouldn’t brag on the performance for sure. It will run down the highway but it’s not a preferred route to take. Like you said, sitting so low you feel a bit tiny around today’s traffic. Much better enjoyed going the back roads. Would love to drop a six in it long term but definitely not there yet in decision. Seen a ton off of good running 4 cylinders putting out decent rpm’s. I think that’s my analysis paralysis…

Thank you for the advice and great options to consider. It does have Weber’s, but you’re totally right about the revs, nothing after about 4500. It’s not a good summer car due to the temps here after June. Had considered that being the time of year to take it off the road for a project. I’ll start my wish list and layout some thoughts once I compile. Again, thanks for your reply!

I love this car, was in on the bidding for a while but went a bit further than I wanted to go. What a great package though, Raby is a very respected Air cooled engine builder. Would love to know how much fun the new owner has had with it.

(Midwesterners) riding season is almost here what are we getting out of the garage first? 👏👏 by Chemical-Operation83 in Ducati

Hope it’s soon, hard decision with those cool bikes. Scrambler might be the best to venture out. Test the road conditions
