Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
hahaha that explains it. Yeah her electrician and REAL plumber and roofer rock, her general handyman is nice but dumber than a box of rocks. I've had to re-do a lot of his fixes because they were so :gee: I was afraid of them and they ended up breaking again like a week later.

I just had a glass of soco and coke... The soco must have all settled to the bottom or never mixed. the last sip was almost 100% soco. Not a problem if you expect it... but if you dont expect it, well then it's like a kick to the face

Hell, I'm embarrassed by everyone.I see, so you're embarassed by us.
Automatic, its based on location.
Compression fittings should not be used on brake lines, except to limp home if you had a line failure.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
serious question...why? I'll be honest, I've head this from a few different places, but no one seems to have any specific, first hand experiences with having a compression fitting fail. I've got 2 or 3 of them on my rig, and they've been there for about 2 and 1/2 years without a single problem from any of 'em. It just seems to me that all the compression-fittings-are-bad talk is just hearsay. I'm open to see what others have to say though :viking:

To heavy for my roads, you can throw them around as easily. And you saw how small I am, I'm the size of a chick.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I have one on the XJ (had to do it in the college dorm room parking lot after the brakes gave out while I was pulling up to the busiest intersection in springfield MA :scared
Ever since then I have never had an issue. I understand that they are not IDEAL, but I do not see why there is a problem with them. I have literally stood on my brakes from 80-0 (which barely locked up the tires, when I did that my tires sounded like I had ABS) and had absolutely no leaking or any issues at all. I then used them on my brothers transmission line, but that is a completely different story, those also held up great until he was rear ended by an 18 wheeler and the Exposition was totaled.

Probably, that's what most people use or something similar. They go on sale for $60 every so often.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I am a fatass and I have a 1986 FZX700 (I refuse to call it a 'Fazer' although this model is the original and only true Fazer.. all the fzr's after my bike were called 'fazer' or similar by owners but yeah, they werent.. anyway).
The 700 is more than enough power, pushing up around 75-85 hp at the wheel, thats fine for me. haha. my other bike is an 89 xt350. made 30hp and was great offroad, still love riding that thing.
The only issue I have with it is the forks/tires. Its low and comfortable, can ride it forever like a cruiser, plus it's got a smooth engine (straight 4) and is nice for the corners.. long story short its a standard style bike. Not sure why Americans never liked standards.. i love them.
I am replacing the front forks with fzr600 forks (or replacing the entire front end with FZR1000 front end for even better performance) and machining down a swingarm from an FZR1000 or similar to fit my bike.
Really, the forks are OK.. but the only wheels that fit are 16" front and 15" rear or something like that, so you can only get cruiser tires. so you do a front/rear fork/swingarm swap and use the wheels from the donor bike which will let you run street bike tires. The front is a direct swap, the rear need machining.
Plus I am adding Vmax rear suspension or just buying a progressive 1" lift set to raise the rear end a bit and get some more ground clearance for corners. I already drag around corners sometimes. The other great thing about this bike is that if you want more power... an 88-89 FZR1000 engine (130HP) is a direct swap in. I love it and would definitely recommend the bike if you could find one or even liked it at all. haha
Edit:Oh and it was only made for 2 years here in the States... plus its 1 year away from being an 'antique' so it may start increasing in price soon. I'm damn glad I got mine (mint condition with a couple paint chips) for $1100 this summer. That is the only reason I don't want to do any mods... I don't want to mod a near collectible bike that already runs great with only 15k miles. Not to mention the only year that matters is the 86 since they made the 87 look like ****.
