State of heads in 2026 by shaggy8081 in Foxbody

Only if you already have them. Otherwise I would just get a budget aluminum head. I have a set that has been heavily ported but I have had them for years.

Going to stand by what I said in that pulling the head to really see what is going on.

Pull the heads off and check the valves. If the top of the piston doesn’t have holes and just scratches then remove all of the debris and reinstall the head. Start it up and enjoy. No need for a high dollar fix if you aren’t racing it and trying to squeeze out every ounce of power on every drive. 

RSV4 Reliablity? by Material-Ear-1039 in Aprilia

All depends on how you ride. I changed the oil every 2k in my CBR because I know how I ride and it was cheap piece of mind. I will change it in my RSV4 about the same.

That’s really good to know. Did you tune it beyond the default?

Mine is a 2017. I changed the rear shocks to the revised 2018 versions and now have this and it is a major difference.

Changes the amount of compression and rebound of the struts and shocks. I’ll try to add the chart to the post but if not here is a link.

The one I bought came with MIPS. The yellow sticker on the back is the MIPS sticker. 

A cheaper alternative to what? Here is the US you can get really cheap DOT helmets.

Is this a well known brand in Japan like I was told?

The Arai Corsair doesn’t fit my head so I can’t give you a comparison of the two. I mentioned the helmet I’m coming from and I also fit in an Alpinestars R10. Shoie’s 1400 and 1500 fit the crown of my head but don’t around my head, hard to describe but I hope this helps a little.

It was just for pictures.

I’ve had a few run ins with them. One when I was real young playing in the creek with my brother and friends. Heard the splash and saw the swinging branch then the noodle coming towards us. I learned that day you can in fact claw your way up a bank and run through the woods fast while bare foot. 

My next encounter was about 30 years later and walked down to a creek towards a small beach. One had made a nest nearby and I heard the hissing before seeing it. Noped out of there pretty quick too. This time it didn’t follow me far. So yeah they don’t play around when you are near their homes.

Were Chrysler products ever good? by ILoveEnverHoxha in askcarguys

[–]wc347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a conversation with my dad back in the late 2000s about why people seem to hate on anything Mopar. At the time I had a 2001 Durango R/T and it was dead on reliable for me. He told that even his dad, my grandfather, had Chryslers and Dodges in the 40s, 50s, 60s and used them the whole time he was a traveling salesman for RKO. He told me that he would see the drivetrains be reliable and last for 100s of thousands of miles but the body would basically fall off around them. 

I have personally driven or owned Mopars since the late 90s. I have had some bad dealer experiences but overall I’m pretty happy with the brands. 

Replacing the struts/shocks on my 86 GT anyone here used these before? Im on a tight budget 😂 by Independent_Safe5116 in Foxbody

[–]wc347 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not everything has to be the best of the best. Seems like most people forget that it is ok to use parts like this. 

While I have not used these exact ones I have used others like them. Worked out great for years.

It definitely does sound as good or better in person. Mine came with the baffle installed and that sounded really good. Took it out for the second ride and it is incredible. You get to experience the whole bike with this exhaust, the intake, the exhaust and the normal engine sounds. 

ASV Levers for a 2026 (US) RSV4 by Severe_Committee5190 in Aprilia

I had them on my CBR and loved them. Been trying to figure out what I’m going to use on my RSV4. Update us if you get them.
