=Crelow;53918]But what do you guys think of me putting a piece of sheet metal between the Dildo and the engine to block the smog. Remove the hose and Cap in case i ever need to put it back on.

I used a small piece of sheet metal and put the dildo back on upside down - check it after fitting as my 1st sheet metal application pierced and was blowing a bit

simple , but the 520 sprockets not work with 428 chain , u need new front and rear sprockets and the chain

but not "really" needed , as my 1 more tooth upfront is the same as 3 less in rear

no grinding involved

Is it possible to put a kick starter on our bikes?

No, sorry. You would have to break down the engine and install a kick starter, gears, re-route the pipe and rear brake. And, thats IF you can find the parts.

You always can drop it in second roll it and pop the clutch, and drive away. Next best thing to a Kick.
Man.. This winter is killing me, 12 more inches coming down here I guess next two days.
The roads were just getting almost ready to ride then, blam. more ice and snow.

Hey Goobar, Got my new air filter today, had to do the roll start the other day as the batt was low from sitting around in the cold weather. I'm not going to do the mods until after the State inspection. Got the MSO today also, good mail day. Tomorrow I'm going to get the insurance and see about getting one of my buddy's to trailer it down to the DMV for the inspection. Found another crank case breather (pics) and I'm for sure doing the anti smog block removal. Hope you get some sunny days soon.

Bob, Glad you got your MSO 2/3rs the battle. The filter should work great. Paint er black. This type actually will work the best as the juices will run back into the crank where they belong if you attach it with a real short hose from the crank straight up. I cant believe they need to inspect the DF, what a BS deal is that. Your tax dollars at work. Whats the weather like in Northeast NV this time of year? i'll bet all over the map/warm then cold, snow up higher? I drove thru there in May several years ago and it was sunny and warm and rolling and Hilly but very scenic as I remember, Think I saw some antelope on some of the grassy ridges. I must be a glutton for punishment ,I Just bought and brought home a Russian Bike also a 2012 URAL Patrol with a side car. needs lots of Mods and tweaks also. But very cool bike. Man this thing takes up a lot of room in the Garage. This I can ride in the snow with its 2WD. Just worried the salt will eat it alive because there is no way to wash it in the winter and my Garage is heated/ bad combo.

They have real nice fishing here too.

Elko is a nice place to live. Small and far away from everything, but beautiful if you know where to look.

I'm cramped for space too. I have a car, small lathe and mill, plus a fishing boat, compressor, two bandsaws, and so many tools I can never find the one I'm looking for in my garage.

My hobbies are what keep me alive.

Congrats on the new bike. Wish I was there to help you dig into it.

Oh yeah, your right about the weather 50 one day -5 the next. We had a good snow year so there will be lot of water in the summer. Right now most of the snow is gone here in the valley but the surrounding mts are loaded with snow.

I'll take your advice on the breather, thanks again.
