Exhaust stud looks weird ('96 SA50)

Take a look at the WheelmanÔäó-style photo:

The upper stud has like a flange around it or something, making my Goshi pipe not sit flush.

How hard is it to remove/replace this?

Re: Checkin in, first post... here at least

You know what, I called Scooterworks and they were super snotty to me on the phone like the brands they service are way more prestigious than my Honda. They were going to charge me $85!?!?!?!!?!!? (just to put a tubeless tire on a wheel and put a valve stem on it) *. I just got back from Chewie's M...

Re: Checkin in, first post... here at least

I have a set of those red bolts if you need them this weekend.
Who is mounting the tire for you? I got my front one on OK by myself, but I pinched the rear tube and so had to red do, I paid Scooterworks on Damen $52 for a tube and mounting, they did it overnight.

I wire brushed the rims for 40 minutes then steel wooled them then rust fixy primered them then painted, popped tube due to user install error.

Re: Typical Craigslister

I've got my car up there. No hurry to sell. I always overprice what I list up, so that you can easily talk me down to the amount I really want. Guy writes me weekly offering me 58% of my asking ($7000 asking will go down to $5500, he offers anywhere between $3000-$4500 depending on the week). I expl...

Re: 1996 SA50 tire change with issues

Finally mounted the tires today. Used Wheelman's lube technique, took 2.5 hours, and I ended up using a chisel too, ruined my fresh rattlecan paint job. Am satisfied, though.

Re: 1996 SA50 tire change with issues

2' breaker bar and realizing the threads are backwards on the nut got the tire off. Rim needs restoring, super dirty/rusty.

Re: sorry to make a new thread but someone please help!!@!

You need to learn better forum etiquette. "sorry to make a new thread but someone please help!!@!" is a horrible thread title. Honestly, I've been ignoing your threads, as your titles all miss relevant info. A good thread title will contain: bike type (Spree, Elite, Aero with year) what's ...

Re: Need help with 95 Honda elite s bore kit

I have a 1996 S that took my fat butt 28mph. I swapped the restricted exhaust (thanks to a forum pal) and got a OKO Variator from VT Cycles (call them, their online presence is lacking) and I got @38mph. It is easy to do these tasks, as I was hesitant to do so, but after reading through the Technica...
