Wheel Bearing Removal Help

Worked on the Titan - T500,

The 1156 bulbs for the blinkers would not go in the old fixture after filing the stubs on the side and the lead positive connector the bulb worked ok, replaced the float needle valves and adjusted floats also, still need to sync he carbs which should be easier since I installed the nipple on the other carb throat. I will need to make a sync tool for this.

I installed a different headlight (another stock one) in the Titan, much better but still it's a 25 watt bulb with a 35 watt high beam. The other ones reflective surface was lifting and in bad shape.

Tank, side cover and seat look the same so detracts from the cosmetic appearance. One day I will get around to those.

Also installed these correct Vintage sized Avons on the T500.

Back tire is a 4.00 X 18 close to a 110 MM tire, compare to the Magna's 150 MM.

Front is a 3.50 X 19 close to a 90 MM tire

WHAT!? No Seafoam?
Nice pics and a beautiful job!
When do you expect to have it done and ready for the road?

These photos were taken BF Seafoam. LOL It's pretty much ready now, I will sync the carbs later and do the paint and seat cover later also once I ride it a bit and see if any issues crop up. If you take off the items left to be completed it looks pretty good, put them back on and not so good...lol

Thanks for the compliment.

So, you just drilled and tapped the carb for the sync tool?

The only carbs I have ever done a sync on myself were inline and had a port like that.  My 1984 V45 carbs have vents but I don't see anyway to do a sync on them using vacuum.

Yes, I drilled and tapped the blank myself, added the nipple just for carb syncing.

These carbs, not tied to a bank, are prone to be way off. Idle sync has to be set along with off idle. I would have to look at your V45's as I don't understand what you are calling a "Vent". Many "smart dealer service shops" on the older bikes would do this modification automatically for easier servicing in the future.

With nipples on both sides syncing will be a breeze any time I need to check or at a change of the cables. This is more accurate (probably easier) than doing it from the rear of the venturi.

Before photo----- you will see the "blank" on the carb in the left of the photo.





Here is a shot from the inside, I put the towel in to keep shavings at bay.
