Thank you very much for your replies. I will start with the pump and see what happens. If the Mr Gasket 42s requires to shut gas off when turning the bike off I don't think that is a good fit for me. She is my daily ride and I know I WILL forget often. It is good to know your weaknesses. Since OEM are known to eventually fail, are there any other aftermarket alternatives?

Today I cranked the bike, waited for her to get warm and left my community. Two blocks down the road she stalls as if it had no more fuel (It has fuel) Tried to cranked her again and it turns but doesn't start. Let her rest for a few mins. Started again and withing 30 secs stalls again. It sounds to me like a carburetor issue but have no idea where to start. Also, the fuel pump didn't make any noises when it first started which did call my attention. After it stalled I tried the old trick of tapping the fuel pump but didn't do anything. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

I believe you might be referring to the baggershield. I just got mine. http://www.baggershield.com/baggershield-star-venture-105-to-165-extra-large-adjustable-p-26.html Installed it couple weeks ago so only have around 2k miles on it. Fully extended is as comfortable as the stock I had (at least to me). I will be riding with passenger this weekend so I'll have some input from her soon too. The short option is cool. I am sure I'll be more excited about it during summer. It creates a lot of buffering though. My previous bike has an even shorter shield on the fairing and I have more buffering now. I have changed the helmet too so I should ride w my old helmet and see if that makes a difference. All in all I think the F4 could possibly have been a better option. My $0.02.

I think he is referring to the show in Greenville SC though which I think is this weekend coming up and not to the one in atl a month ago.

I don't have the Nolan but have the ss2200 which is very similar. I really like the wider field of vision and be able to remove the chin bar when in shorter rides. The ss2200 is at a similar price range I believe, so it could also be an option for you. I found it in my local store and was able to try it on before purchasing it.

Now you have to increase the line. You could add couple LED lights and have a base model and a deluxe model.

Agreed, my guess, a neander, horex or hoffmann .... I know, I almost named all the German manufactures!

I tip my hat! 37 bronze head Rudge Ulster.

I know what it is now, but since I had to look it up I will only say that in the inside of that front wheel there are three cylinders that connect to one gear, transfering power to a two speed transmision. Even less production than the one you pulled earlier, as this is the only one known! New challenge... look at the head on this one... that will give you the clue. And I know, not as rare as the ones you have been posting.

Hell yea, you kept me up all night! I got a little obsesed about this so did some research!! It is a Motoprom RD501B :cool10: "In 1974, the RD501B used the ubiquitous BMW R71-based chassis (from a Dnepr MT-9), with a fan-cooled engine, clearly a copy of the Sachs rotary. With 495cc, it developed 38hp @6300rpm, and used shaft drive. It is claimed two were built." Quote from thevintagent.blogspot.com ONLY TWO BUILT!!!??? really? how in the world did you know abuot it? :rotf: Thanks for the reading though, very, very interesting!!

I think you got me with this one... I think the frame could be a BMW R71 or the soviet version like the Dnepr, it even has the side car, but I'm lost with the engine. The only thing similar to that I have ever seen are the rotary engines from Wankel. Is that a hybrid?

Really close!!! It is the 55 velocette viper!!!!

what about this one?

That is a Vincent bike. You did well hiding the back fender so I can't tell if it is the black prince or the black knight :confused24: If it is the black prince the graphic on the fender will have a helmet.

Well said!
