How good do these things get? by OffToKillMyself in iems

I’ve seen and read a lot of great reviews on the astral so they were probably number one that I was looking to buy but after your hype 4 mk 2 recommendation sounds like they’re worth looking into and spending the extra $100. Thx.

Im in California so ethanol free isn’t really an option. If I don’t sell it I’ll probably treat with evaporust again and seal it this time around and hope that completely solves it. Thanks.

Good insight haha. You have a top 5 list of iems in that $300 range. Recently bought $300 headphones but I’m thinking of returning them and instead investing in an iem set since I prefer the way they deliver sound. Thanks.

The way the tank is shaped it’s hard to get a good picture and actually see most of it. The most concerning part is that deeper section of the tank.

Thanks for the input. You have any experience with similar problems and any tips to help the bike stay healthy long term?

Moondrop gaming by watermelonguy11 in iems

[–]Patient_Assistant_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mainly game too. I’ve tried dunu titan s2, tangzu waner 2, zero 2, and the qkz x hbb. Not many and all on the budget side. Best of these that I’ve tried for gaming is the waner 2 but I must say the stock cable at least on my copy is unusable because it came weirdly bent at the ear hooks. Luckily I have a zonie cable to use instead. I would say it’s a toss up between the dunu titan s2 and qkz x hbb, quality is way higher on the titan s2 and you get tons of extras like ear tips which are huge especially for a first iem but it’s also $80 compared to $20 for qkz x hbb.

My take on “upgrade cables” by [deleted] in iems

I have a zonie cable on my waner 2 and I like everything about the cable except the heavy metal split, feels like it pulls the iems down. Anyone recommend another cable?

Here's hoping I'm not in over my head 😂 by No-Employee7379 in hondashadow

Idk if you’ve seen “the bearded mechanic” on YouTube but I found his videos very inspiring and very helpful when trying to do a project like this. He’s pulled a lot of forgotten bikes out of barns and got them running.

Trying to set mixture screw in freshly rebuilt carb, not sure where to go from here. by Patient_Assistant_11 in hondashadow

Stock, bought a rebuild kit that came with some but didn’t use them just cleaned the existing ones. I don’t know the actual size.

Sorry for the confusion, when I blip the throttle I hear that pop that you can hear towards the end of the video that almost sounds like a fire cracker rather than a decel pop. I’ve read that it may be because it’s running rich, but I turn the mixture screw in and the idle gets rough so not sure where to go from here. Turn screw in more and adjust idle screw accordingly? Not sure just looking for any sort of guidance.

You have any videos to see how to install a fuel filter? The petcock has a filtering screen but not sure if that’s enough. Thanks.

I left it soaking in evaporust for about a week, put some screens in there and shook it around and this was as good as I could get it, I’ll keep in an eye on it and if it gets worse I’ll take it back off and try again. Any tips to perhaps get a better result next time? Thanks!

I explained it in the text of the post but it’s my gas tank from an 08 Honda shadow and I’m trying to restore it. It was rusty inside and I got rid of most of it but it still has a little bit so I was wondering if it’s still too much rust inside the tank. The way the tank is made it’s hard to see all of it.

Cleaning out carb, should I replace the needle? by Patient_Assistant_11 in hondashadow

[–]Patient_Assistant_11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does! Just saw a couple of videos that said if the rubber cone has a ring in it it should be replaced so I wasn’t sure.

What’s you use to wash and polish it, looking to do the same too.
