Which direction?

feeds@yuku.com (CrazyCats) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:44:14 GMT

Some big dummy snuck in the garage today and took apart the final drive shaft without marking the direction the gear goes on the shaft. This is two of the same gear side by side but one is upside down from the other. From looking at things, it looks like the side on the left goes on the shaft first. The smaller, inner bearing goes on after that. Can anyone confirm that before I put this back...

Taking a Trip to the Steel Store!

feeds@yuku.com (thc118) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 03:13:05 GMT

Just want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff
1020 DOM Steel tube
1.125 OD .065 wall .995 ID for the frame
1 OD .065 wall .870 ID for the slugs

1018 Cold Finished flat stock for axle plates
Need to know how thick I need to go
So if someone could measure how wide the axle plate of the swingarm is
and then the width including the adjuster that would be great.

78F speedo guage

feeds@yuku.com (Jhaines) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 19:38:23 GMT

So I picked up another 78F. The one I just got has a speedo that goes up to 150 =D whereas the other one I've had for a few years only goes to 85 or 90. The VIN number on the 85-90 one is higher, meaning it is a more recent (2 or 3 month difference by the VIN plates) one. Both gauges look original as far as I can tell, I KNOW the 85-90 one is original, i got it from the first owner. Whats the deal with this other one though? I got it from the 2nd owner. He got it from the first...

As not to hijack Cliff's thread I thought I would start another touching on something he mentions in his thread.

Can we powder coat Honda cases......safely?

I know RK's cases were powdered and look superb. What's the deal here with safe amounts of heat put on these old cases?

Cliff, do you want to explain again in more detail what you said? I'd like to know more.
