    Galvanized exhaust?

    I nabbed most of my stainless from a junkyard, they where throwing out some hoppers that had been used in food production, used that to make the muffler, only needed to buy a couple of feet of tube, I think I was done for less than $20 altogether.

    Galvanized exhaust?

    yes. I made part of mine out of galvanized, works fine, bastard to wweld 'cause it tries to split itself apart from the heat. it's abit heavier, but my muffler design made up for it, so it's lighter in the end. make sure you have enough hangers and that there's enough play in them, the...

    Buying an older jeep cherokee

    I would go with the little cherokee, on a windy day pulling a supra wouldl be rough if it was in an enclosed trailer, but I assume that you're gonna be pulling on an open trailer. cherokee's are cheaper, and keep some money in a "just in case" fund, but they're easier to work on and there's...

    Buying an older jeep cherokee

    the I6 has more torque than the V8 does in the grands. you have to weigh it out, the grand is better for trailer stability in that it's got some more weight so the trailer wont muscle you around, but it doesn't have the same torque that the regular cherokee has. (this is assuming you're talking...

    Guaging Interest in a Parts Weight Database

    not to raise the dead, but are we gonna make any more progress on this? strikes me as a good idea, maybe even get some "here is a pllace to start" stuff.

    Tackle an alignment??

    he's actually correct, most dealerships only have experience with cars made in the last few years, on something like ours they'll be consulting the book same as us. That said, I think their reading skills and readiness to read the book probably exceeds that of the average member here. Which is...

    Honda CB 360 - any good?

    it's too bad you couldn't get it, you could have had it mechanically sound for probably under $200, it needed a battery forsure, starter no (it's got a kick, it's not a big bike). Tires looked decent, figure it'll likely need a set of brake pads which is $30ish, and then cleaning supplies, and...

    Have you ever paid for sex?

    not directly, but I have no stigma against it, I don't see it as any more dangerous than a 1 night stand, and I'll pull those without worrying to miuch. just wrap it up and go wild.

    Listen To Rage Against the Machine? Your a looser!

    this is exactly right. I don't like the guy, I think he's probably one of the worst presidents in recent history, but that doesn't make him the anti-christ. Nor does it give him supernatural powers to fling hurricanes against new orleans or any other crap that seems to be popular thought right...

    Help me choose my next bike!

    as I'm sure you know, an R6 isn't a particularly good choice for a commuter, rev monsters are great for when you wanna go play, not so great for when you're stuck in traffic. I haven't ridden a TLR1000, but from my experience with Ducati's and SV's, SV in particular is just always fun to ride...

    **Post your Motorcycle pics Thread**

    your powers of observation are astute. snotcycle: go easy, respect the bike and you should be ok. The biggest jump wont likely be the power (altho ya there's alot of power) it'll be how hard the 600 wants to drop in. Particularly if you're on fresh tires, as they wont have "chicken strips" worn...
