I'll PM you pictures when I get home.

Unfortunately the dampers were mangled by the prior owners of the bike. I made sleeves out of hose and Sugru to mount them until I got the LED flasher module.

Bump, $500 for the lot of it.

Yes and Yes. Sadly no, only the kickstand.

He's serious, do a little search.

Bike has a blown motor, cylinders and crank are a no-good, the rest is fine, all wear items have about 2k miles on them. If I don't list it ask I might have it. -MAC 2-1 Exhaust ($170) -18" Wire front with 90/90-18 Conti Go Tyre (new tube) w/ New Kevlar Shoes ($100) -16" Wire Rear with...

Can you give me an idea on what it would cost to ship that motor to 11704.

The circlip on the right hand side of the right hand piston dis-integrated, I found what might be pieces of it after running the oil through a coffee filtre. I decided to pull the pistons and found that the left hand circlip on the left hand piston was also broken into two pieces but still...

Looks like the issue is more than just a "little smoke", Cylinder is trashed, right side of the right piston is trashed, rod has play up and down and side to side. Maybe its time to part out and move on.

Said bugger it and ordered the piston rings, might as well only have to go in once and call it a day.

At that point would it also be easier to pull the cylinders and re-do the oil control rings? Or is the likely hood of it being the oil control rings low enough to not warrant replacement?

I was able to easily wrangle the valve cover off, but I can't seem to find a decent spring compressor (locally) anyway that I'll let me depress the valve springs with the head still on. Any suggestions for compressors or is my only recourse to pull the head off also?

The bike started spitting blue/white smoke out of the exhaust, under the following conditions: Deccel/Downshift Blipping the throttle after a downshift Hard Accel I'm leaning towards it being the oil control rings but is there any chance it could be something else before I take the bike down?

My bike an 81 SOHC will top out at about 95 indicated on the GPS, but I only weigh about 110lb so there isn't much load on the bike, and I have to basically be hugging the gas tank.
