Topic: Dissipating Heat Due to Increased Performance
Message: I'm looking to increase my performace a good bit but I whant to do everything possible to dissipate as much heat due to the increase in performance. I've already added the 34 Mikuni Carb and the Freeflow Exhaust. I'm looking to upgrade to a 535cc kit along with the dual exhaust port head. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated b/c I want to make my RE as "bullet proof" as possible - yet cruise at highway speeds when necessary.

Topic: buying a classic 500
Message: Hi guys

I love the classic 350/500 and have ridden a couple of examples and very nearly bought one last year but didn't. Instead I've got a lovely Cagiva Raptor 650. Now having second thoughts and seriuosly thinking of buying a new classic bullet whilst they are still available here in Great Britain.

Waht is it like to own a classic (4 speed no electric start) model ? are they reliable? what goes wrong? and should I buy the 350 or the 500 - over here they're now cheaper than a year ago - so very tempting.

Topic: tire conversion?
Message: I currently run the avon venom's on my 2003 500 dlx but I was wondering.... are there any kits available that would allow a wider tire to be fitted? I'm not looking for the extremes that you see on tv but rather something that's a bit wider. I ride a lot in the mountains so I have a lot of curves and spots of moisture to contend with and a bit more rubber contact would be nice....

Topic: Syntheitc Oil
Message: In December, Arthur had a concern about synthetic oil dissolving seals. I don't think that is the problem; I have been running full synthetic in my '02 500 Bullet ES since new (bought new in May'02 from a dealer) with out any problem. The bike has 8000 in town commuter miles on it and the only problem I have ever has was a broken + connection on the coil. Recently converted it to Right hand shift - what a sweet difference this makes! I have repalce the oil pump with the HD unit, heavy clutch springs, 19 tooth countershaft, ported the head, rejetted, short muffler, and a K/N filter. Runs strong right up to 91 MPH. At some point, I would like to go the big-bore kit and crack the ton at least once - just to say the bike could do it. I can't say enough good things about this bike. - Trapper

Topic: Need bottom end or engine
Message: Anyone parting out a bike? I need a bottom end. Crank and rod are shot and the labor to rebuild is a killer. Will consider whole bike if price is right. 410-802-3509

Topic: Twingles
Message: In the non-thumper world, twingles refer to twins that fire both cylinders at the same time - so the overall cycle is like a thumper, it's just two pistons firing instead of one. Some small displacement (160cc, 175cc) 60's and early 70's Hondas did this I believe.

Topic: compression release lever
Message: I just bought a 2002 bullet.
Can anyone tell me what the compression release lever is used for?
The previous owner did not know!
Is it to aid in cold starts?
Thanks,
Ken
email: jetbyer@yahoo.com

The decompression lever is a vital aide to starting the bike, hot or cold

Topic: Twinger
Message: Any idea when the dual heads "twinger" will be back in stock? I
would think that this would be an essential add-on/upgrade and it looks
great. Instead of wanting "my two dollars" I want my "two exhausts"....
email: sherman8tor@myway.com

The "Twingle" for those of you who don't know, was a single cylinder head that had two exhaust ports and two exhaust pipes. No performance advantage, but it sure looked and sounded cool. We had 10 prototypes made. We do not have any plans for more, but we hve been getting a lot of calls so...........
