Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Sorry, guys...I just can't post a picture of what I do ...Joe

The sheeple...Just great! Keep electing the killers. The untold misery produced by this current administration should have resulted in impeachment of this worst ever President. Murder on a grand scale. Nothing less. Look at your babies and think of the horror that has been wrought upon the innocents...

What is this nep bullshit. I write "n-o" and it comes up nep. Also..what is this "sucker" shit next to my name?

What BULLSHIT! A fundamentalist, radical Muslim...sure but if you think fundamentalist Christians or any other fundamentalist ideology has allegiance to country and not their own dogma...you know nothing. Can you say, Timothy Mc Vey? Can you say, Skinheads? I have Muslim friends and colleagues who c...

This IS a V8 bike site and I think I am very "Off Topic" with my post. I just am so upset about the way I see my beautiful country going and want to shout it out whenever I have the opportunity. I do thank this board for the freedom to post. I'll shut up now.....Joe

Mike (Koehn)...The sky IS falling! We are in a quagmire killing innocents in Iraq. We have a national debt that is so staggering that it can never be paid...and increasing by the hour. Our national infrastructure is in shambles. Social Security and Medicare can never be funded. We have outsourced mo...

"Crazy Rick" wins IMHO. He's my man...Joe

Mike is a "Free Thinker" Just read and THINK! Please try, for once in your life to look without preconceptions.
He has open eyes and will evaluate what he sees rather than through the closed eyes that most of us have. He is a light in the darkness that most of us accept as real..Joe

More stuff..Jeff rebuilt the alternator with new bearings and brushes and is fabricating an air dam (SS) which will protect the alternator. Also a polished SS diamond pattern grill over the new 502 radiator. Looks great! Will post pics as things develop.Click on the pics for enlargement. grillofchoi...

Feel free to PM me for any medical questions you have. I've spoken to many of our brothers and sisters here about medical issues...Joe

Rob...I totally agree with your last post. Winding up the spring just increases the length of the shock until it is fully extended. From that point on it is being pre-loaded. We are on the same page here. What about "My boy" offended you? Certainly no offense intended :) At my age...everyo...

Jack..Thanks for the straight and intuitive answer!...Joe

Rob...You know, I was really thinking about a new Boss. Then I started to think about all of the upgrades I've done over the years and realized that the cost and work in getting a new Boss to the level it is would be prohibitive. I decided this will be my "Hot rod" and I will keep working ...

[quote][/you know when you're doing one of your examinations, you get yourself smack dab right in the middle to get an eyeful right???, well that's horizontal alignment for you:!: quote] Jeez...Everyone wants to do my job :shock: :mrgreen: Would someone please forget the vaginas for even a minute an...

Bruce Vetti at Stamford Boss routinely mounts the fender to the swing arm on his custom builds and, therefore, he can run the fender VERY close to the tire. It looks great but it means your fender has to be completely independent from the seat. Only good for solo seat setups. Rob...What don't you un...

Okie..Don't even think about it . A backhoe is very slow moving so the brakes develop little heat. Tranny fluid will fry and probably boil at the temps developed under high speed braking producing a lock up that you will not like one bit

Rob...my boy. If you wind the spring up with a non-fully extended shock, the spring will keep extending the shock until the shock is fully extended. If you stop short of full extension, the spring will just act as it's inherent qualities dictate. I'm not sure what you are missing here, Robbie...Joe

Shit, Rob...I've preloaded my shocks from day one. Now you are talking warranties not actuality. Such BS! : 1. You can preload the shocks by turning the springs up against a fully extended shock. 2. Thicker springs make for more resistance per inch of travel than thinner springs torqued up to more p...

Jeff really did his own thing with the swing arm. Bushings are face to face and bolts are tightened. Maybe Jeff can post a graphic...Joe

Rob Once the shocks are fully extended, winding up the springs DOES preload the shocks. The shocks can only extend to their limit and further winding of the springs simply has to preload-load them. The reason heavier springs are used is that even though weaker springs may be preloaded-loaded to the ...

The time, detail and expertise that Jeff is putting into my Boss is amazing: Complete Tranny rebuild with heavy duty main shaft bearing and bored out check ball hole New front pulley Chrome rear hub Custom made SS battery box and 925 battery Replaced all tranny and cooler lines with polished SS tubi...

Mike...Now that I'm using the OBVIOUS "view new posts" button, this site is a pleasure to use. I have no idea why I never saw it before...Joe

DUH! "View new posts"
Dumbass me...of course!
Mike...I studied Zen for almost 30 years. The biker part is self explanatory... My two passions. My other passion wouldn't look good in print ...Joe

Steve...The Mallory distributor fits just fine. The shaft length is the same as the stock or the MSD so I'm not sure why Marv said he had to machine the shaft. The fact is that the cap is also a lot shorter giving better clearance to the bottom of my seat pan (2000 model). The only thing that can ev...
