Well, Christmas came early for me. I always enjoy your build process, Maxie.

That is a part of my character I have a tough time hiding.

Well, I could only rent Bossie for a week. Cop chop.

Details! Details! Male or female cow? Dairy or Beef? Grass fed or grain? I'm tired of you guys with all this top-secret $4it.

Confounder: Luck. The Step 2 flood stage needs to be exactly 4.1253" higher than Step 1 to get the high water marks aligned properly. Kind of a long shot but the above evidence suggests do-ability.

You'd really need to time the "turnover" perfectly and hit the Evaporust on a dime to keep the balance in check. Ultra-shade tree fly wheel MX conversion?

That looks like a perfect waterline. Engine not stuck? That'd be a nice break.

Vincent. I know a dude who has a Black Shadow. I can stare at it for hours and hours.

Hey, I just saw a brand new Coleman minibike at the Fleet Farm. Rip cord motor and the whole schmeer.

Believe it or not, Pop, my neighbor had one. His dad brought it back from somewhere during his military service. He took that thing everywhere they went so he always had wheels - which we envied.

Great point!

No feel-able dragging, Captain, and the rolling into N maneuver is SOP here. I have to roll the bike back and forth a little bit and "search" to find N after I've braked to a stop with the clutch disengaged. Thank you, by the way.

Hey Captain, this reminds me of something I have meant to post but never did and it firs with this thread. This is an Ace 90/100 concern. While idling at a stop light, I find it difficult to "find neutral" with the engine running. Is this something that can be adjusted out, a natural tende...

Have you checked your free play before digging into the shim stack? Fresh rebuild? Thinned out, worn plates/steels -> less shims.

Excellent Captain. Thank you for sharing that.

I think it's called Bullfrog trials bike. Isn't there a picture of one in the Hodaka Book? Check the one-offs and specials chapter.

Just a note of gratitude for another EXCELLENT edition of the Resonator Revisited. Many thanks to the entire staff and contributors. Bravo!

I guess in a sense, they still are.

By the time the Super Combat made it through design, prototyping, tooling, and production, the big "4" had the coin to turn out mid-year models that featured significant performance improvements compared to the same bike built six months earlier. That the PABATCO designers had the foresigh...

And now you know why the price of lip stick is 11 cents higher in Tucson.

I have one on my Super Rat. Its great in that you can rip it open without hyper extending your wrist and getting out of shape on the bars.

I do know the Wombat throttle has a shorter throw (goes to WOT with less rotation required). Elliptical cable spool. That a big improvement.
