- The biohazard Yamaha Vmax LIVES! After fighting bad wiring and electronics we were able to get this barn fresh Vmax to fire up for the first time in years. In the previous video we did a ton of work to the fuel system but were not able to make it run so we definitely make up for it in this one! Enjoy!

This video felt good to make as I hated ending the last one with the bike not running! This bike is going to be a blast to play with and mod! We still have a ways to go on the bike as the Vboost still isn't working and we now have a clogged pilot jet but, we will get there! Who has that Kerker I want?
I don't have the Kerker you need but I've got a question. What company do you get your brake caliper kits from. Have an 82 GS850GL that needs to be ridden but I want to be able to stop as well.
Bake crafters has the good stuff
Thank you. Will check them out. 👍
@@BrickHouseBuilds I’ve sent you an email regarding some exhausts!
@@Theradioman55 just replied 😎
Just finish working on Motercycles all day long , come home and watch 1 hour long Motercycle content ... Awesome day ... 😊😊😊
Nice!
those style of electrolytic capacitors almost always need to be replaced when they get old. Might be worth opening one of the better looking ones and trying to replace
I am definitely interested in trying to replace a few as an experiment.
@@BrickHouseBuilds I've done it on old guitar amps and stuff like that. I'm no electronics expert - Easy if you have a solder sucker especially on these simple old boards.
I wish I was in the US of A or I would do it for you. In Australia. Should be pretty easy except I think it has conformal coating that makes it a bit more of a hassle. That it kinds sorta works after a bit does tend to indicate it is the caps. It would also be worth checking the mosfets on the completely failed ones. Another quite easy fix.
This channel was made for me. Working on my own CB750K4. I love these older bikes.
🤘🤘
There is a simple mod you can do to the stock mufflers that will make it sound better. Drill out the rivets holding the end plates on, drill some holes in between the rivet holes then using M4 nuts glued on to the inside of the end plate as spacers and longer rivets, put the end plates back on (or leave them off).
Vmaxs are so much fun. They may be long from the quickest anymore, but their visceral light-to-light enjoyment is hard to match. I rode and drag raced an 85 for many years and really delved into all the aftermarket fun. I would agree that the Kerker 4-1 produces a symphony that will make you just want to keep it in the shop to start and rev when your day is a little shit. Until that time you can greatly increase the sound by just putting the largest drill bit on an extension that will fit down that outlet and drilling through the baffle. Dynojet used to make a Stage 1 and Stage 3 jet kit. Stage 1 gave the best streetable machine, but the Stage 3 would produce great numbers for high revving drag racing. Both would allow you adjustable needles and assortment of jets. Stage 3 had you drill a larger hole in the carb pistons and it removed the Vboost replacing it with open connectors so that you always had the Vboost but mine never seemed to like lower street revs after that. Dale Walker did a ton of racing and aftermarket parts including belt driven superchargers or 4-barrel conversions. Kosman would machine a sick wider and larger circumference rear wheel so that some updated sticky rubber could be run on the rear while retaining the shaft drive. The UK and France had some great published Hooligan builds that went extreme Front ends were always spaghetti and my riding friends would tell me they could see the frame flexing when they rode behind. I would just carry my weight on the pegs and hover over the seat so that it could dance all it wanted. Jay Gleason did some amazing times on Vmaxs including the spread that Cycle World did back with an 85 with a Kerker and the Dynojet Stage3. He went high 9s I believe with some bolt on wheelie bars. thekneeslider.com/jay-gleason-rides-new-vmax-to-9513-at-14370/
When a bike makes you laugh (maybe even piss yourself) that’s a good sign!
This thing excels at both!
Erm excuse me you put that fan there and blew all that crap into my living room thanks guys. Bike sounds good to me, keep up the great work.
🤣🤣🤣
I was a passenger on one once back in the in the 80's. My friend Steve Linch scared the living shit out of me, i was hold on to him for my life. Will never forget it!!!!!!
That would be a big nope for me lol
Something similar happened to me in the late 70s, cepting it was a Suzuki(don't remember what cc but it was fast) plus I had my backpack on, lol
When I joined the Navy I bought one of the first VMax’. It was an 85 like this one. It was the fastest bike on the planet
I was 14 at the time, and I lusted after one since then. Got one in 2005. Milestone! It is a 1999 and I am not selling that bike, full stop. Absolutely love it.
You guys were owed some fun time after all the hard work, long live the mighty V Max 🙂 Superbike Surgery is great 👍🏻
@@nickrider5220 definitely!
Old V-Max is still a beast!
Respected by many drivers,even nowadays.
🤘🤘
My uncle had one and he let me take it for a spin when I was 18 or so (I just freshly lost my license and was only allowed to ride 125cc anyway). Man, what a pig it was to ride. Slow speed maneuvering and turning takes the strength level of an olympic weightlifter, that thing seemed to have 100% weight on the front. Then came the moment I hit a long-ish straight and revved her out, from 50 km/h in 3rd all the way to 160 km/h or so, when I closed the throttle because my hands flew off the handlebars! Never have I ever been on a machine this fast; in fact that thing was faster from 50-160 than any other vehicle I have ever ridden from 0-50!
Back in 89 my lead and bought one new. Took it for a spin and it was unbelievable. Looked for one these past years UT prices were crazy. Forgot about it until this video. Now at 70 I've got the bug again. Always good content.
A guy did a V-Max build back when.these were new. He called it "Bad Max." I saw it locally here in Phoenix, but it was also featured in a motorcycle magazine (forgot which one). It had the most incredible sound of any motorcycle I've ever heard. It sounded like a built V8 from idle to full twist. It would have been neat if more people built these bikes, but they were so complicated and expensive. Great job getting it running!
Amazing byke guys! And amazing job. Thank you.
🤘🤘
I see neglected hikes from Florida that are corroded beyond contemplation. You guys are awesome. I always tell people who want a classic to buy one that's good to go. Most don't have the skill to do what you guys do and to buy a neglected bike and then pay to have all this down would be a deal breaker. You guys are worth your weight in gold.
@@TheOverisel Thank you 🙏
There’s a guy in England called the “super bike doctor” that recently posted a couple of video repairing a V-Max. He found the electronic controllers were bad. There a bunch of electrolytic capacitors that went bad, mainly through age. When he replaced the capacitors everything engine related cleared up.
It's Superbike surgery, I mention him in this video actually
These bikes are special. The moral is though, when you go to buy a bike, sniff it. If you smell mouse pee, walk away😂
🤣🤣🤣
I work on electronic boards all the time. Just a suggestion but you need to take on some Electro Static Discharge protections. Humans produce electro charges and they can damage the chip’s. If you want to send me the bad ones I can do some checks.
Swollen electrolytic caps are bad. If the cross hatch on the exposed aluminum end is pooched convex, it has failed . IF there is crust coming out of the vent hole on the rubber plug end its failed also.
15:40 That instant reaction from both of you was priceless! Love when you get moments like that when working on projects!!
This bike definitely brought some emotions!
You'd better revive V-boost. Your problem is in corroded circuit in V-boost controller to the left of the false gas tank. I've had same problem on my bike and after resoldering this controller I gained my 40hp back.
Yes it's on the list
I’ve owned my 2006 Vmax for the last 14 years, has UFO full exhaust, She’s a beast and will never leave my side!
🤘🤘
Greate work guys. Vboost is running? I dont hear the sound (Makes a full cycle) when you turn contact on. Cheers from Argentina 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Vboost is not cycling yet. Today I am planning to inspect the controller for it. Still some kinks to work out
Wow. I've been in Missouri barns, I recognize their handy work.
😂😂
Dayum! What you guys did to get this bike running at all is just next level! Way beyond most people, myself included!👍
Thank ya!
Guys Guys Work smarter not harder. To remove the race that is in the frame all you need to do is run a bead of weld in the race and when it cools down it will contract the metal and the race will literally fall out. Works an absolute treat. Give it a try. Cheers.
Yup, as i said in another comment the welder is in back but I couldn't move the bike
Had my vmax since 1995. Supertrapps sound great. Front end swap for a 1995 YZF750SP upsidedown 6 pistons.
Its my best friend.
biohazard vmax. that's The most awesomest bestest namest ever. (a few moments later) that word you use to describe its performance was awesome I won't say it so I don't ruin it for others. That's exactly what I thought.
🤘🤘 It does have a ring to it
@@BrickHouseBuilds Someone else here called it the P-max...........
@@davidevelyn530 well I did
Had a 2001. The S-Trapp dual sounds like a cammed 350. Brute power for sure but chassis/suspension 💩. If I remember correctly, the rear wheel is off track of the front wheel. Also frame/swingarm flex. 70 mph wobble was terrifying the 1st time it happened. Front steering damper and whatever you can do to stiffen the swingarm is my suggestion, especially once you get it dialed. Powerband hits hard around 4k as I remember. Everyone loves a V-Max!
I remember when the V-Max was introduced! Now I’m watching V-Max resurrection vids?! So old.
😅 I'll get there too
Yamaha seems to have a problem with their modules for a long time ..had a 1981 xs100 midnight special that went through 4 of them back when nobody was fixing them and my friends Virago crapped out anytime it rained
Did a Vmax years ago ,GSXR forks,16inch rear wheel,prog. shocks,brace the frame and rear swing arm,better clutch,4 ito 1 kerker. Loud fast death ride loved every ride on it.You dudes are just like us,great vid,cant wait to see how the bike turns out Geist Wulf Cycles
Well done Seth for popping your cherry on burnouts! Truly happy for you!
What a way to start!
It doesn't sound like it's running on all 4. Burnouts sounded better but it's still sickly
Yeah in the end of the video it had clogged a pilot on the front left. It didn't have much of an idle circuit but the mid/needle and main were good
Great job guys, try using a straight larger diameter air hose from your compressor to your windy gun, you'll get a massive increase in power.
@BrickHouseBuilds, Guys you did an Amazing job bringing the "Rat Stink" back to life. Brings back memories of the mid 80's before Ex took me to the cleaners. But that old Girl has a lot more to her when she is fine tuned and no hick ups. You dump that clutch with 7k rpms on her back in the day and she would leave you stretched out like a rubber band. Great Job, Enjoyed the Video "Joe Dirt" if someone makes a rude comment they can KISS MY @$$!!!!!...... Let me know when the truck comes to drop her off... "PS ... Send a "Brick House Builds" air freshener and One of those old school "Evil Knevil" Helmets.....
Keep an eye on your carb floats...... fuel too high she will dump in the cylinder and foul the plugs in a heartbeat at low speeds.... if you also can change you barbs on fuel system to 3/8 instead of 1/4.. runs smoother at high and low speeds. I had fun putting the 4 to 1 header on mine, get the one with removeable plates, carb jets, carb sync and air box gets a little touchy. That Damn V-boost cable like to get stuck and not move when you turn the key on sometimes also... i made a fitting to lube mine like clutch and throttle cables.... Get some good grips.... she will try to buck you like at fricking bull when running right............. Take Care Brother.
We are now in the fine tuning stage and having fun. Luckily we already set the wet float height. Now I need and exhaust and more jetting!
Seems to be a ‘common’ issue on these, Superbike Surgery in the UK had the same problem, his channel’s well worth watching and if you like the Bandit 12 he had one in recently, a hard tail of all things
Yup, definitely saw it
Nice one! I used to kinda hate these when they were current, but over the years have attained a new appreciation for them, they rip!
@@FourIntoOne 🤘🤘
Previous owner got a deal on a 500 foot roll of red wire. Use it for everything!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
guilty
Hahaha that was brilliant guys brought back memories when I was pillion on my friends defo bad ass bike man ,you guys have nailed it again nothing you can’t fix and it’s only going to get better look forward to future adventures on this machine ,how many times did you both get burnt off that thing hahaha great video and great music BJ Seth’s first burnout was a pass great video guys all the very best enjoying the v max it’s a weapon of a machine take care and have a great day 👍👌🏁🏁🏍️🏍️❤️🔧🔧🔧
Haha those pipes got us! Glad you enjoyed Peter 🙏
@@BrickHouseBuildsjust awesome mate was quite emotional looking back when I got the privilege to be on the back of one but need to say I was shitting myself lol 😂👍👌
40mm pvc pipe fork seal driver!
yup, didn't have any at the time as everything I do is around 33-35mm
One of the best ones I ever heard had Supertrapps on it ! And you already know you can tune those ! 😊
Those do sound good!
Totally enjoyed the 85 Yamaha VMax content. I still remember reading about it back in my motorcycle magazine days. Especially enjoyed reading about it being the fastest production bike of its time with the late Peewee Gleason aboard at the drag strip. As always, great content. Keep up the great work. How I long for my 1983 Kawasaki KZ1000R - Eddie Lawson race replica. I miss that bike tons. 🥲
The best motorcycle channels, like this one and Bearded Mechanic, are about a lot more than motorcycles. They are about how to deal with problems, random issues, coming from discouragement. And also about quality, excellence, passion, respect for tradition (but not always a slave to it).
Viewers not quite as chronologically enhanced as I am should look at "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M Pirsig, 1974. Though in his preface he says the book is not authoritative wrt Zen, and "is not all that informative about motorcycles either".
Well thank you! I try to always show a way of approaching problems that is logical and do the best work I can when needed. Sometimes "ok" is enough and thats important.
Try superbike surgery.
@@kevinmountford4541 I presume you are referencing superbike surgery's 6(?) parter on a troubled V-max. Something of an epic journey, but he got there in the end.
We just drilled out the silencers from the pipes back in the day. That woke up the V65 Magna we had. Try that.
Good call on the wire harness. The best option is to completely remove all the wires and redo it when its been that molested.
Yeah it's best to be able to confirm a connection point being good or bad rather than hope
Thanks for starting the bike with your shop door open! And using the big fan. I love this bike. The closest I got to riding one was sitting on one in someone's garage.
Wow! 👏👍 You guys are doing so much on this mc! My only comment is about this rat/mouse crap/pee covered bike, and my thoughts about breathing in any of those fumes, etc… . Protect yourself if possible guys, as nobody needs health issues related doing a FANTASTIC restore~ get her running, job. I’m old, so health related concerns stand out to me. Can’t wait to see the next update on the Vmax back from the dead. Hope you get ahold of a 4>1 exhaust. They do have a distinct sound. The stock system does sound a little (weak sisters), and I’m not one who ever gave the sound of any car/mc a 2nd thought. My R1250RS (new last year) sounds like a push lawn mowers at idle, not at all impressive. Runs fast enough for me once the revs build, but next life, an I-line 4 is the way to go. Great job guys👍😎👏🙏🤩.
Yes, I think that's valuable advice. Best thing to do would be to protect the wiring junctions, plug up all the holes, and steam clean the whole of the bike. That should get all of the mould spores and infectious material blasted out. Serious debilitating sickness is alien to pretty much everyone under 40. It's really no joke after then. Rodent micturition is not a joke. Very hazardous.
The walk of shame. We've all been there and done that.
At least it wasn't far!
There are people who rebuild car ECU's.. Anyone know of any doing MC boards?
Ok Ok Ok So helpful here for me. Thank you so much. My footnote (again ~ sorry). Moved my whole operation into the barn. Off the porch. Oh my goodness. Room around the bike. Dropped the Nighthawk. So so sad. A dent in the tank. 😵💫 Through the door of the porch. Thought I had room. NOOOO. Learning my lessons. I'll tell ya. And That STURGES place. South Dakota. Well now ~ Gonna go there and wash the bikes. Yep, just keep washing and washing my bikes. Many washings. Wash Wash Wash my bikes.😉~ Your Padawan Learner. New Hampshire. 👍
Check out Kyle Clegg he's a V-max wizard. He might have some parts.
Try running some fast fix STA -BIL fuel treatment and injector cleaners and conditioners. Into the fuel. Try running some ethanol Free fuel mixed with that gasoline fuel treatment product. Watch the power it lets out then.
The factory carbs work great when new.......not so much after 10, 20 years. I took the factory carbs off 1 year after buying my 1986 used and put on a Holley 500cfm 2 barrel carb and love it. Runs the same every day, week after week and hauls ass while doing it.
Dapat dinala nyo nlng agad kay mang caloy wala kaarte arte kahit mabaho pa yan😂😂😂
I would do crank saver mod, before you do anything else, that will save you any stress guys.google and the forum. From the UK
Smokes boils off the tyre, rear of the bike and the riders jacket, oh yeah she's a runner ! The neighbours are going to be looking for rats in the garage !Thanks for the video have a great week, hope its a rubber striped one!
🤘🤘
Wow, you guys did an amazing job!! That was some painstaking work and you kept on it. I had a RX1 4 stroke 136" snowmobile that I rolled and it caught on fire. I restored it to running condition and replaced the wire harness. Had no spark for a long time but the voltage regulator had a grey and white wire on it, they got reversed somehow and I just found that out by a fluke of playing with the wires and it came out, then I was like shit, maybe these are backwards! It never ran the same but I did take it out a few times after. Had some issues with the carbs and ended up trading it for a 97 VMAX 700cc red head snowmobile, the 2 strokes never die! Looking forward to your next video, I am sure you will figure it out. Seems in the comments below, there is lots of tips. I like the one about take the exhaust apart and dumping out what might be down there! Cheese from Ontario Canada! If you have time, this guy takes apart the same engine you are working on, has a heck of a time with the flywheel. Part 2 he goes right into rebuilding it, but worn out and says even he can't get parts for it as Yamaha stopped making them for that model of VMAX! ua-cam.com/video/p-YkWu7SY5E/v-deo.htmlsi=4ul1karXYeDp1_mq
It's pretty rusty and ruff, but it's a 1985, and the first year of Vmax is starting to climb in value!
megajoult spark box is my go to solution to fix bad no spark issues .made in usa and microsquirt for efi and spark
The old owner stuffed the mufflers with confetti to make the first start memorable. That's a lot of wires and electronics. Too much for my skill level, and patience level. It seems like the previous owner replaced a bunch of wires but only had a spool of red wire.
Now I want to put confetti in mufflers 🤣🤣
That was one of the most satisfying videos I've seen in a long time. Nicely done 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
You did not clean up the rust inside the tube part of the steering before reassembling it?
Yes just wasn't shown. I took a wire wheel to the inside of the neck and cleaned it out
Nice! 👍
caps recharge in milliseconds and recaping is easy just never use lower voltage or capacitance more with in logical resin is fine
Hay guys a trick thatcan sometimes fix the ecu or computer/cdi units is to put in the oven on like 500 degrees for like 5 minutes or so to heat up to dry out any moisture and reconnect any bad joints. It worked for me once.
I have a Vmax 1986 brand new could not keep tires on it and also it would only pop wheel when you’re doing about 100 and that’s a little scary. I took care of mine but I also beat on it and it lasted a long time and I sold it and the guy had it that bought it and two years later he blew it up.
Major mouse house in the exhaust pipes. Good luck lads!
Send Me the bad ones too. maybe i can find the failed components in each and find replacement components.
i installed a kit that was name t-boost lets v-boost come in at 3400rpms
Frame and Fork stiffeners and balance the front tire might be nice.
I had a 92 dodge stealth and a common problem on the early models was the capacitors were not heat rated for high temp and they would pop. Just replace the capacitors.
good work fellows' i had an 88. i put a steering stabilizer and a billet front fender brace and it tightened up the front and got rid of death wobble.
but can you amagine when you get the v boost working and a different exhaust talk about grab a hold of some thing hold on tight
The corn field coming out of the exhausts!! 🤣
You guys are so good at fixing stuff you can repair a faulty computer just by having it in your presence 😂😂
It was nasty lol. No idea on the computers as I made one worse and the others fixed themselves lol
You're gonna have so much fun once it's running properly!
Try not to die 😬😬😬
@@BrickHouseBuildssome poor little mouse lost his home 😂😂😂
I'd like to see someone take a vmax and either cafe or street fighter it,or take an old r6 frame or r1 and put the motor in it ,that would be sick ,
She’s a beaut Clark!
🤘🤘
My 94 punisher vmax is flat out scary.
I bet if you recap them all you’d have 5 good ones.
a whooooole lot of isopropyl alcohol and some prayers to the old gods and the new will clean that board up lol
Nice one gents. we have new prime minister here in the UK and he real TOOL.
This is awesome, my dream bike is the V65 Magna but really like the V-Max too.
I'm betting a V65 Sabre will find its way to the shop eventually!
had an 85, great bike, loved it.
Damn. Always wanted one of these the first time I saw them!
First bike was a Yamaha 60 enduro 4 stroke! Ran lots of motox and away from lots of county cops in the '70's!
Looks like that VMax is a weeeener!
I've wanted to try one for a long time so I had to have this when it came up for sale
@@BrickHouseBuilds You guys are great bringing these older diamonds in the rough back from the dead.
I miss my riding days and stopped in the mid-late '80's because of a particularly gruesome accident I came up on that involved a motorcycle and a semi tractor trailer.
Now that I'm 61, I'm thinking of finding a cheap ride to blow off the dust!
Kudos for the awesome work!
@@ddouglas3687 It's very hard to stay motivated to ride when you see that stuff. You took the time you needed which is good.
Hey guys, where are you located? My brother in law has a nice 850G tucked in a shed. I could get him to sell it to you all for $250 for your next project if you're interested.. would be awesome to see you rip it apart and redo it. Been really cool seeing you bring this VMAX back to life and the content has great to watch. I love resto-builds.
I'm near St Louis. I appreciate it but an 850 is not something I'm after right now
This is a beautiful bike. Its the next bike on my list.
🤘🤘
So enjoyed that, guys, thanks for bringing us along. Dammmmmmnnn....how much time and sweat!!!?????? Well done, great stuff 👍👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed!
Super film Thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed!
Great effort getting that moving ....... Kaplan has a nice vlog (1986 Yamaha VMAX!) with a 4 to 1 Kerker sounds amazing. Keep em coming please and thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
LONG LIVE V4s!!!! You should totally save a 3rd Gen Magna ... keep the V4 rescue going!!
😂 great video! Only problem is the VMAX will spoil you. Everything else will likely be boring after riding the beast😂. Only a Rocket 3 or sum will be equivalent fun. Much luck getting it dialed in and running great!
@@nbowling10trio I could definitely see that happening lol
how much power? all of it!
Not sure how this vid got past me. But awsome video BJ You and Seth doing burnouts. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
I think it snuck by everyone actually. This video is at 1/3 the views of the first one somehow!
Superbike Surgery on You Tube had exactly the same problem with the ECU,he changed the pots but to no avail,and bought aftermarket.
@stephenwilson3479 Yeah it's unfortunately common
Alright guys, you got me subscribed just to see the VMAX after you clean the carbs, and give her a little more love! Great video! Sending good vibes on you finding a good pipe for her. I really love the aged, rough around the edges of the trim. Gives the old girl character! Looking forward to further videos of your asses sucking up her seat cover when the V-Boost kicks in :D
@ITNerd1970 Well we appreciate the sub 🤘
DId you get the vboost working? The servo motor should cycle the vboost open and closed when you first turn the key on and I never heard it cycle when you turn the key on. It made a huge difference to the power above 6000rpm. I installed a ignitech unit on my 1985 vmax when the TCI failed and the added bonus was that you can wire the vboost into the ignitech and program the vboost opening rpm with a laptop and usb cable.
@@hh3130 Not working yet, trying to source some parts.
V-Max's were pretty fast back in the day. Always had a tough time at the strip with my CBX against one of those bikes, they always had a wicked out-of-the-hole launch that would put the jump on my CBX and I'd have to use my wickedly higher RPM to try to reel it in, great racing! No, I didn't always win in situations like that!
Glad to see you got this beast going, it won't disappoint once you get it sorted out! Ride it like ya stole it, just make sure it's pointed in a straight line!! Thanks for the cool content!
This bike definitely launches well so it would put up a great fight with about anything to 80mph I'd say
I sold my 1988 Canadian import about five years, it was completely rebuilt after someone needed my exact place on the road so side swipped me.
It was a right off so I did a deal bought it from the insurance company and took a lesser payout.
Rebuilt engine to 1500cc hot cams, modified airbox and carbs stage seven jetting kit K&N seperate filter's removing the second stage stage of the carb so it is open from start of throttle so V-Boost eliminated, sold motor mounts frame brace Ohlins piggyback rear shocks royal purple front springs thixker oil along with a Royal Purple steering adjustable damper, had Yamaha R1 front back wheels modified to fit the rear shaft drive stock wheel centre welded to R1 wheel along with front modified to fit stock forks and fit the R1 four piston calipers, rear seat modified to work with a fibreglass Ducati tail piece with filer in it and gixer bellypan.
Hell the more I see of this the more I want mine back or maybe a stock one so I mae it more up to date.
Sounds meaty
Unmarked is A. Then you only have to mark the others B,3,4,E. I won't be happy if I buy one of those and it has a "5" written on it. I'm calling it now. Boxes 1 and 3 fail.
@docthebiker this is possibly the furthest reach to be upset over something I've had in my 4 years doing the channel. Numbers bad, letters, good. Got it
Half of working on old and vintage bikes is problem solving. Lack of good parts, lack of correct tools, and, of course, electrical issues. So if you like problem solving and hate yourself, it is a great hobby!
That's why we do it!
I cheered when that beast roared to life!!! Spitting who knows what kind of shit outta the pipes, but that beast wanted to growl again! You gentlemen have made an old man's heart happy... LOL!
Glad you enjoyed!
