there supposed to be something on this bolt? my rear caliper is loose and i believe this to be the culprit..... my front caliper has a sleeve thats threaded on the inside, looks like its to keep the caliper from moving around or something... im confused.http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/w...t_60849_-1.jpg
there is supposed to be a barrel nut there on the front and the back. Contact your dealer and he will send you a new one. Add some blue locktite to it when you get it. the bike is alright to ride that way but get the barrel nut on there.
i lost mine within the first couple of weeks having the bike LoL
Also locktite the bolts that hold the heat shield on i had mine rattle loose before I used the glue
With these rigid bobbers locktite is your friend, or as my buddy calls it Harley Glue. Green locktite will also work.
I go through my bike once a week to make sure nothing has rattled loose with the amount of riding I do. the locktite helps out a lot
awesome. im curious if i could find something at lowes or somewhere to put there..... i contacted brett and al from pit, but i don't expect them to do anything, just basically asked them if they knew if something was supposed to go there. but then i remembered this thread and thought i would try my luck here too. great help as always gardo.
Yea Al sent me one out the next day after i notified him shoot Al an Email, alan@pitmotorsltd.com, Brett tends to get inundated daily with emails.Quote:

yeah, i've hit them up 2 times now for different parts and they've been amazing about it. just don't want to annoy the hell outta them with every little thing...
MK2 that's what they are there for man. they get it, they are car and bike guys.
we'll see what they say when they receive the e-mail then. and as long as this won't hurt anything i am going to continue to ride the bike. not sure when it fell off, so i have probably gone a while without this. hahaha things happen i suppose
hey Heister's here's a little behind the scenes of what goes on prior to getting your bike. i was lucky enough to be part of the whole thing from picking my own box to getting my lil girl running. this was shot on April 2, 2011
It was a great day and i had a blast. I head down every couple weeks to hang out and kick around ideas. I have learned a lot from these guys and proud to call them my friends.

Great video Gardo, wish I could have been there to help out build mine up (would have been good learning experience about the bike). I just found out I will be up in Wilmington, DE in mid August but dont know if I will have time to make a trip to go see those guys. I know it would be a good experience just to talk with them but maybe I can work something out. Got the headlight painted black the other night, but now working on something more important which is a hitch mounted carrier for the bike. Then I will be able to take it on longer trips with the dog and ride wherever I am :clap:
Thanks Pereill, i must chat with these guys what seems every day lol. I'm lucky cause i live 2hrs by car or 2.5 by bike from the shops Al is a great guy and will always take the time to answer a question and help out. Same goes for Tom. They are getting super busy right now.
need o see some pics man dont just tease us with the work you are doin :lol8:
I'm getting one of these ramps ordered up to take my Widow down to the Outer Banks in August

Gardo, so is there shop near Philly? If so that would make it easier for me to make a trip (only about an hour or so away). Yeah I sent Tom an email and he told me to call him but I have been so busy, going to try to call him next week. Also will try to get some pics up next week when get back in town.
I looked at those ramps but then looked at the price, I can make my own for less than $100 for materials, and I have welder, bandsaw, and all that to do it. And I love doing stuff like that.
But as for the bike, battery was dead when got it home so charged it up overnight. Then got to ride the next night and when in first or second gear the chain was rubbing the fender. So had to wait another night so I could get 21mm and 16mm wrenches (why are the wrenches you need never in the set you have??) But I will be taking it for a ride next week if the rain ever stops. Take it easy guys
Yup they are a bit over 10 miles from Philly.
Well I dont have the time to fab one up or the welding tools so I settle on buying one then modding it to fit my needs :icon10:
Yea I noticed the chain rub as well and the rear tire is a 17mm and a 21mm, and I know what you mean. It doesnt happen much more now that the chain is stretched out. Already adjusted it 3 times
have fun man and ride safe
I have this aluminum receiver carrier from Harbor Freight. On sale for $139.99. Works very well.

Anyone have a walkthrough over checking valves? And how to adjust if needed?
Here's one for the CG125 which is what our 167FMM engines are cloned from.Quote:

You don't have to remove the cover as shown in the video.
Google CG125 valve adjust
Awesome. :) thanks for the info!
When adjusting the valve, don't over tighten the valve cover bolts. They will break.
Okay, the stock pipe isn't bad at all. The G&D would get a very bad review from the neighbors and police.Quote:

The main jet should not affect the low speed hesitation that you are experiencing..Quote:

How is the acclerator pump supposed to move? I just tried a google search and didn't find it for this carb. And how do I adjust it?
I actuated the pump with my finger and it killed the bike.Quote:

Thanks again barnone. I'll play with the mix screw some more and see if I can figure out that pump. I'm starting to think the pump may have been my problem all along. I also put a washer under the needle.Quote:

Good photo.Just make sure that the pump is being pushed down when you twist the throttle.Quote:

Red dots point to the area that I am talking about. The black plastic part needs to push down on the brass part when you rotate the throttle. You have to take the float bowl back off to get the pump under the black part.
Thanks Vince I'll check them out when I get back home on MondayQuote:
