i currently have an 86 shadow vt1100. having some issues with the fuel pump tho. and as soon as i pay off my truck next year, i will be getting a brand new triumph daytona 675.

I am pretty sure there is no fuel pump in that bike. It is carbed not injected.

Some carbed bikes have fuel pumps.

 

If the fuel tank is above the carbs, they are most likely gravity fed.  That being said, I would not be surprised if Honda did indeed use a fuel pump. 

 

Good choice with the Daytona.  I took one for a ride when the demo truck was at Trebor's.  It was a blast, there is nothing quite like a triple.  I only wish I could have taken it on my favorite roads instead of the group ride on the boring route they planned.  Oh well.

I took the class and got my endorsement a few years ago, but never got a bike.  I always had other things to spend the cash on.  I've still got my eye out for a cheap beater 250cc to cut my teeth on.

 

I will say, outside of that damn figure-8 box, the MSF class was a blast.

I couldn't get that box down during practice for shit, but goddamn i did it perfect on the test, bastards made me go first too.. I was the only one in the class to do it... some other people did it fine during practice but goofed up on the test. One woman drove in and just did a figure 8 with her own imaginary box being 10x larger, and she scored better then most people because of the point system... u can only loose 3pts for crossing lines, and another 3 for putting down you feet, they said over and over just don't put your feet down, cross as many lines as u want.

Went on the Tail of the dragon on the way down

My riding buddy had the identical bike

He had it for 3 years and sold it with about 75000 miles on it

Never set the valves

Congrats!  Do you know what front end was installed on your SV?  I'd love to swap out my stock suspension at some point.

 

Here's my 2006 SV loaded up for a camping trip.

 

 

That's a well packed SV!

 

It's a 2008 GSXR600 set of forks, lower triple clamp and brake master cylinder.  The upper triple clamp needed to keep the stock sv geometry and OEM steering lock working from this guy:

2009 GSXR wheels front and back.  Let me know if you want more details.  Are you on the svrider.com forums?

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
