cimmer Posted July 10, 2008 #1 Posted July 10, 2008 I was looking at http://www.oldbikebarn.com and see they have some parts for the first gens. I see they have carb boots and the slide diaphragms for the carbs. Has anyone dealt with this company before and if so, what was your experience. Thanks Rick F

Thanks Rick F I have a set of nice carbs, still need a set?
oldandcrotchety Posted July 10, 2008 #3 Posted July 10, 2008 I've bought a couple of things from them awhile back for my Honda. Was pretty good to deal with. I ordered a stator from them once and while just idly talking to the guy and mentioning that I was going to have to order a stator puller, he said, "naw don't do that, I'll make you one out of a rear axle and nut and include it with the stator." I still have the tool in my tool box.
bongobobny Posted July 10, 2008 #4 Posted July 10, 2008 Yes, I have delt with them too, seems to be a good honest dealer...
Condor Posted July 10, 2008 #5 Posted July 10, 2008 Yes, I have delt with them too, seems to be a good honest dealer... The price of the diaphrams ain't too bad either. I searched thru the carb kit section and found a kit for the V-Max, but nothing for the Venture... Dang!! What I have been doing lately is picking up carb sets off Ebay for cheap. I figure if there's one good diaphram in there I'll break even, and if there's two...WooHoo!! I know it's a gamble, but I picked up one set that was dirtier than all get out, and it had 4 new diaphrams. I must have 5 or 6 banks waiting in the wings, and that's enough. So that's why I'm posting about it....
talonsx2 Posted July 10, 2008 #6 Posted July 10, 2008 Hey Crotchetty can you possibly post a pic of what yout stator puller looks like???Thanks in advance. Stay safe and keep the rubber on the road. Michael
GeorgeS Posted July 10, 2008 #7 Posted July 10, 2008 Good Heavens !! Is that place still there, and still in business ????? Highway 169 S, I used to buy junk there way back in 1973 !!!!
timgray Posted February 20, 2009 #8 Posted February 20, 2009 do we get a discount from oldbikebarn? I'm about to pull the trigger on $500.00 in parts and would like to save as much as I can.
Freebird Posted February 20, 2009 #9 Posted February 20, 2009 No, sorry but we don't at this time. I've never approached and asked if they would be interested.
BIG TOM Posted February 20, 2009 #10 Posted February 20, 2009 Can't believe a second genner hasn't jumped all over this thread...lol....nope.... not me....I'd never do that...lol:rotf:
Dano Posted February 20, 2009 #11 Posted February 20, 2009 Your getting bored, Big Tom, go do some more push-ups.....

Stay safe and keep the rubber on the road. Michael My apologies for the 10 day delay, I have not been scanning the posts as often or as thoroughly as I should have. I think if you click on the gif you can make it bigger...I hope. It's really just a rear axle from the same type of bike cut down to about 4 inches and then an axle nut welded on to make it a bolt. The drawing shows how it works.
oldandcrotchety Posted February 20, 2009 #13 Posted February 20, 2009 Well, I just checked the post and I can't seem to make the drawing big enough to read the text, but if you know how, then there is a short explanation of how you use it to force the rotor off.
