Re: Anyone try 3D printing this hard to find part?

Late here but I have one of those boxes off of an early serveta. I think 3D printing might be a little weak since it's normally made out of plastic. The switch is super common but I know what you mean, the box is hard to find.

RB20 fit

Replaced my RB20 cylinder after my crank rod exploded and the new cylinder is having a hard time sitting all the way home on the case. I’m doing the initial dry build to set the port timings with the new 115/60 cranks. It looks like the upper kick side stud hole might be a hair off where it should b...

Re: Ignition systems

Most problems I've found were from user error in install due to poor grounds and bad crimps on the connectors. Be interesting to know your opinion on the vape one. The scootronics one is an option as not heard...

Re: Stainless or plated fixings?

Yes always lube stainless. SS has a high friction value and it’s always good to put anti seize on dissimilar metals (and similar). There is a great paper floating around the Internet on mechanical fasteners written by NASA. It goes in to detail on all types of metal fasteners and why they are good/b...
