I figured that at some point this thread would head down this road......

I am kind of leaning that it was home made also. There are a lot of rough machining marks and there is no protective finish on the bare steel. It looks to be fully machined where I would expect something commercial to possibly be die or investment cast and have some kind of protective finish on it. I have not yet given up hope on finding something similar, Especially since DotCo does make similar tools.

NOT motorcycle related.. Need car transmission help.
Flyinfool replied to cb1313's topic in Watering Hole
Don't forget to drain the torque converter, it holds a lot of fluid. The quicker that you can get any water out of the trany the better. Any water in there is rusting away at all of the steel parts. This rusting can do serious damage in just a couple of days. -
No such thing as to many pics.

Jeff; Dotco does have something like this but is specific to their own tools. The one I have fits all brands of die grinders that I have. Still researching fiberglass tools. Sling; I have sent them an email. Eck; It does look similar to that attachment but a drill press chuck is a lot bigger than a die grinder collet.

An interesting new spray on chrome process from Germany
Flyinfool replied to Gary N.'s topic in General Tech Talk
Their website is still there at http://www.sprayonchrome.com/index2.html. It sure looks like they are still in business, they list a 2012 DVD. -
This is an attachment that clamps to the head of an angle die grinder so that you have a guide to use it like a router and follow a pattern. I have been Googleing everything I can think of with no luck. I have a sneaking suspicion that this was made up as a one off special item in some shop. If it is a purchased item then I would love find a source to buy a couple more.

An interesting new spray on chrome process from Germany
Flyinfool replied to Gary N.'s topic in General Tech Talk
It is a neat process. It is actually a real silver metal film that is applied to the part. Silver is not quite the same color as chrome so the clear coat that is applied has a slight blue tint to get it to look the same as chrome. It also is not inexpensive. The price of silver is up there. It would help if you could reclaim the silver that ends up in the bottom of that spray booth. I don't see it as something that the average person would get in their garage, more as something that a shop that does restorations or body work might get to offer as a service. -
Thats good to hear. The nurse outfit and whips must be working......

That happened to a friend of mine. When his house was built someone put a rock in the sewer line (city sewer) that caused backup issues years down the road. It was determined that the rock was put there during construction because due to its size and location there was no other possible way for it to get there other than intentional. The contractor that built the house ended up paying to have the the front yard dug up, the driveway dug up, and all of the new landscaping done.

The theory is that as long as the unground side is the side running against the cam, it should be OK. I am also not planning to remove large amounts of material from a shim, maybe a couple thou at most to be able to hit in between stock sizes. Overkill, yes. Unnecessary, yes. Something to mess with in the cold of winter while PMS is doing its thing, yes. If I feel it is necessary I do have access to the stuff to redo the case hardening. I have many other uses planned for this machine. I will need an electroetch or chemical etch marker to mark the thickness after grinding.

Well I started the cleaning process today. Yuck, What a MESS. The oil passages in the ways were caked solid so even IF someone tried to oil it, the oil would have never got to where it was needed. I worked on it most of today and barely made a dent. The last "overhaul" was more of clean off some outside grunge and slap on a coat of paint. They painted right over the dried grease and built up grinding crud.

1987 Venture Royale Jumps Out of Gear Under Load
Flyinfool replied to GuardsmanUSA's topic in Watering Hole
Could this be an indication of the stud breaking off of the pinion? From what I read it is most noticed on decel and is fine under load. But it is a thought. Its not that tough to pull the drive shaft and check it out. -
Wet problem
Flyinfool replied to Venturous Randy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Have you ever opened up your TCI to replace the diodes and seal it up? there are holes in the TCI that will let water in, a number of people have found liquid water in the TCI when they opened it to do the diodes. I have my TCI mounted inside of the left faring, the dust and dirt in there indicate that it never gets wet. The other solution is to stop washing it and if you get caught in the rain, don't stop or slow down till its dry. Works for me....... -
Hehehe I get my 330 ohm resistors, diodes, and relays bulk from Digi-Key, way cheaper. But then I know you like going to RS. I may have to get one of those time delay relays just to play with.

I said zero even though I have a 1st gen. It is pretty much the same pump. I think.....
-
You only missed by one generation.........
-
Oh man that sucks! I really hope you can get your $hit together and back where it belongs.... I think that you should just throw your hands up and go out for ice cream.
-
Keep in mind that the write up that I did was for a 1st gen MKII, the same concept will work for you but the connections and wire colors will/may be slightly different. As mentioned, do not waste your money on anything other than a Bi-Xenon light. You will end up being disappointed with the result.

We could still use the rain up here. All we are going to get is the cold (Sub zero predicted) with no precip.

HA!!! I'm probably the last person to ask for dress advice. Dress code where I work is dress shoes, black pants, white shirt, and a tie. I wear black sneakers, black jeans and polo shirts (at least they have 3 buttons), and I don't even own a white shirt or a tie. Little by little some others, including upper management, are starting to follow my lead.

Cause of the fuel pump failures
Flyinfool replied to orlean1's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
While I have not had any issues with the fuel pump on the bike YET......... In my truck that is also how the pump goes out, the engine simply shuts off like you turned the key off. After replacing a couple pumps at highway robbery rates I now change out fuel pumps as a normal maintenance item rather than waiting for them to leave me stranded. At least on a 2nd gen you can replumb to gravity feed while on the side of the road. My truck and 1st gen that is not an option.
