Was doing some research on velocity stacks. Possible CBX application?
Not sure.
Anyway, google sent me to a SOHC/4 forum thread on the subject and I saw one of the contributors (Retro Rocket) had a quote that made me laugh
"If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem"
I might print that on a work shirt.

That is a totally fantastic group - great community, one of the very best.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle. ~Author Unknown

Said to my employer yesterday that we should put this on a work shirt.
He did'nt see the humour in it.

I have one I like. Is a summarized version of a Carroll Shelby quote.
Not sure.
