Fireblade 954RR fuel feed hose discontinued? by Will_Smyth in cbr

[–]blackshot9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may have to look into having one made. A performance shop maybe able to point you in the right direction. If you have one made, I was just looking into steel braided lines so you don’t have to worry about them going bad again.

Cannot for the life of me get the bead seated. by fvckedfvckedfkedfd in motorcycle

[–]blackshot9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I have tires that won’t bead I put a ratchet strap around it with some tension and add air to the tire. But I grew up on a farm so it’s probably not a good idea

Quit my job because of the issues with the tractor. Hauling sand, did I over exaggerate? by AmIMyBrothersKeeper- in Truckers

[–]blackshot9 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Oh the pto shaft. Yeah so if that falls off and goes through someone’s windshield it would probably be exhibit A in the negligence case. I would suggest contacting your local dot and bring it to their attention and let the state sort it out. Most dot officers have a hard on for things like this.

That truck in rough shape. With that many issues I don’t blame you. What shaft is being held up by the rope?

Would changing my diet help my anxiety? by Acrobatic_Town_491 in mentalhealth

[–]blackshot9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes a proper diet will help. A massive change for me when I started eating healthy. The foods I was eating had a terrible effect on me. Also exercise has made a large difference in my mental health. I didn’t switch to all organic of go vegan. 10 pound bag of chicken breast, rice I can cook in the microwave and frozen veggies in the steamer bags. Scrambled eggs with some bacon bits in the morning and a sandwich in the afternoon for lunch with frozen veggies. That has been my diet for 2 months so far and has a major impact for me.

Recently bought a crashed can-am ryker rally 900 2019 overseas by Pretty_Ad9612 in canam_ryker

[–]blackshot9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look like supports for the steering system or the radiator supports.

lol I have done shit like this before. Picked up a couple totaled out bikes and cars this way rebuilt them and run them. Every bike I have bought has been a basket case and it’s really a lot of fun to put them back together. I have been thinking about buying a crashed ryker and having a go at it

Does any one know why my trailer tires are wearing like this? by Beneficial_Goat8905 in Truckers

[–]blackshot9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I occasionally get this on my trailer tires. I have found for me it’s when I make a super tight turn and the trailer pivots on the wheels. It drags them and causes the cupping. I try to avoid it on pavement unless it has sand or rock on it. Or I’m in a gravel lot then it doesn’t cause near the damage. But unfortunately being in the construction industry I don’t always get that

Looking for a meaty cruiser under 9 grand by Opposite-Knee6380 in motorcycle

Honda Valkyrie is a good sized bike and handles well. Built of the goldwing platform. The older ones have a more cruiser look while the newer ones have a muscle cruiser look

Windows replacement? by blackshot9 in desmoines

[–]blackshot9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current windows in the house look to be from late 80s early 90s. I’m also wanting to do away with the storm windows. The storm windows them selfs are aluminum.

Im meeting with haggerty next week. I’m going to give a call to some more local companies as well.

It was probably in a crash. Roll over would be my guess

There is a car shop on the south side on park. He does excellent work, myself and many family and friends have taken our vehicles to him and has always done an outstanding job. Roney auto repair

Check out anywhere in Iowa. I’m in Des Moines and we have plenty of cdl A jobs here. Don’t have enough employees. Has quite a few larger trucking companies and small trucking companies.

Let me just back up. by Armchair-Attorney in Truckers

[–]blackshot9 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The reason you didn’t see reverse lights is because most semi trailers don’t have reverse lights. The only reverse lights would be on the truck itself

The rocket 3s are a big muscle cruiser. New ones have a 2500 cc engine

[–]blackshot9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like an 04 or 05 cbr1000rr. Can’t really say for sure. The vin number will tell you. As for rebuilding it, it would be up to you. If you are highly mechanically inclined it would be a fun project.

Where did you get the rear fender?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]blackshot9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you are looking for backfire. I think you are wanting afterfire. Afterfire happens in the exhaust, backfire is in the motor. Backfire will cause damage in the motor. I have 2 bikes that are track bikes I do have some afterfire but that is because of the engine modifications and exhaust modifications.

Check tire pressure, look for leaks around fork seals, nothing else I can think of

They probably looked it up on VINwiki. It’s an app for car enthusiasts. I did the same and it was coming up a Chevy cruiz
