The proposed layout does look good, not only a vet track but a GP track that, according to the map rendering, has table jumps instead of doubles, triples, etc....
Help? You and Giles did it for me. And fork seals and wipers, too!! I can do that myself next time and save $100. Thanks!! OK, I heard you're supposed to put...
-Thanks Fritz. I would like to get it done in the next couple of months. Are you going to be at the race on the 9th or the riverdale race? we can chat about it...

... Given the increasing rarity and expense of these parts, I wonder if there might not be a place for a pseudo fix that could extract a bit more life out of...
oops, Tom I left that out for sure. I was only thinking of how he wouldn't have to split the cases. Removing/reinstalling the clutch should be mastered by most...
I would not use a roll pin in such an application. Roll pins are used for alignment of pieces and provide very little shear strength. If you are going to try...
Hello, I'm new to Maicos and looking for some advice. I have found a 1982 490 Alpha 1 for sale in great shape, but I've read some harsh criticisms of the...

Be patient. If the 4spd can be made, so can the later. They used to be all over the place used. I think Roger K sold me one or I sold him one for like $35 3-4...
Hal, EJ, and all, I think they are being a bit ambitious at this point and would love to see them suceed but charging $20 a rider makes it hard for me to see...
