Hijack mode: On Your vids are great! I’m going to build the crosscut sled ASAP. You should put a link in your sig line, or at least tell folks the name of the channel. I had a relatively hard time finding you but, I did find a lot of women named Jess talking about makeup and home decor...

Like Greger mentioned above, I have always liked this site because of the general lack of politics. Now that the genie is out of the bottle, I truly hope we can keep it civil and respectful. This is a solid group - I’ve got faith in you! Mike, I have big respect for you but, I believe you’re a...

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! Safety 3rd. Great thread! Why not put the compressor outside? Tack a small shed roof to he back of your shop, pour a tiny slab (or heavy pavers). It won’t take up precious floor space and you won’t have to...

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! Nice shop man! I’m a former Bellinghamster and hope to move back up there someday. Did you ever race supermoto? I’ll second that. I have the Home Depot version of that ratchet and I love it! I got it as a...

Hi, I've been following and even made a few comments on IG (Tyler-san) but, I missed how you were dealing with the carb/hole in that beautifully painted fuel tank issue. Looks like you got the best possible help at just the right time. The bike is super cool but, I have no idea how you're able...

Thanks for sharing all your exploits. I REALLY like the Look of that bike, I think you nailed the aesthetic and it looks like a blast to ride. Why not just use a WR450 wheel? That dry lake bed is a blast! I was fortunate enough to go on a multi-day ride down there with Chuck Sun about 15...

I'm confused by this statement. Up here in the PNW, I've never heard of anyone washing a car IN their garage. Do you have a floor drain and water proof walls? Please educate the ingnorant. Thanks!

Got it, thanks for the quick and detailed response. Where did you ice race? We've got a group of Seattle based degenerates that go up to Edmonton and do a 24 hour endunce race called the Numb Bum. So far we've done it about 15 times since 2001 but unfortunately, we're not doing this year...

Hi, I can’t remember if I’ve ever posted here but, we share a lot of interests and apparently bought MCM houses about the same time. I’m always impressed with your projects, thanks for sharing. Coincidentally, I just bought and dialed in a new chinesium chuck for my **** Taiwanese 12x36 so I...

Looking really good! Congratulations Mike! Curious why you used OSB instead of drywal in the RV bay?

Yup, ditch the grill guard.

Hey Grizz, I don't post much and really appreciate folks like you that do it well. I just perused pretty much your whole thread and must say I'm very impressed with your creativity and resourcefulness. Nice work man! When I was most of the way through your 184 pages, and backtracking, trying...

Sorry to hear you're still having issues. Hate to sound like a broken record but, did you ever check the filters where the fuel lines enter the carb? Good luck.

Check out CL. There are a LOT of brake lathes there these days - seems drums and rotors are so cheap that no one turns them anymore.

I'm not sure if I've ever posted on this thread but, I've admired your shop and your skills for a few years now - very impressive! The rack looks very nice but, why not slope the horizontals a bit instead of building the fancy end stops? Too simple?

Agreed, it's pricey. I'm also not sure if it's worth that much but, I do know he'd be open to negotiation. It's a very rare bike that needs a very rare buyer. He's making note of the CA title because those bikes were never imported to the USA and getting them registered was always a hassle...

Here's something that might fit your collection: https://www.superbikeplanet.com/sale-yamaha-rzv500r-ultra-rare-japanese-version-california-title/

Sorry to hear that. Did you replace the little brass filters where the fuel lines enter the carb? Look here: http://www.vintagemusclecarparts.com/pages/filterreplace1.html Good luck! Tyler

As others have said, I'd start with the fuel filter. Mostly because it's the cheapest and easiest fix. My old Chevy would get the same symptoms every couple years and a new fuel filter would clear it up. It was a small brass unit where the fuel line goes in the carb but the Ford may be...
