I like the bike just fine, BUT.... NO WAY I'd ever pay 28,000 bucks for a bike with Yamaha badges. I'll wait a few years, and pick up a used one, after someone else had taken the tremendous loss on it new.

I have about 400 miles on my Kendra Cruz tires. I could not possibly be any happier !

May have been covered already, but, worked on my windshield today. Turned out AWESOME !!!!!![ATTACH=CONFIG]109173[/ATTACH] Sorry for the pics being sideways !!!

I got the paint at AutoZone. It is VHT (Think thats the name) ceramic header paint. I have 3 light coats, and one medium coat. If you have your tips off when you do them, the can gives you instructions for curing them, in the oven. I rode about an hour and a half the day after I painted them, ( I painted mine on the bike) , no smell of paint, no bubbling, not tacky to the touch. I THINK, they also make a gloss black, but not in the header coating, however, the regular high temp VHT is good for 600 degrees I believe. I wouldn't think the tips get any hotter than that !

Thank you, we shall see how they hold up !

​So , like a lot of BUBS owners, my tips were starting to flake the chrome plating off really badly, and I got sick of looking at it. Here are the finished product. With a little good old fashion elbow grease, and some high temp header coating, they look much better.

I like my bubs as well, but, my tips are flaking, I may try some high temp flat black spray paint

Come on down, be glad to show ya all around Louisiana, hell, I'll feed ya too !!!!

Got my bike back from the mechanic last Saturday. New tires, carbs completely overhauled, new plugs, and new battery. Unbelievable the difference in the way it runs. Also, the tires made a HUGE difference. have put about 500 miles on it since. Feels like I have a brand new bike !!!!

this is what I had today..... Shrimp and Crawfish Étouffée , over butter grilled Red Fish filet....

A man is sitting at the bar, having a drink or two, when 3 ladies walk in and sit down. He notices they have an accent. After another drink, he gets up, and walks over to their table and says "excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice your accents, are you ladies from Ireland? " One of the ladies rolls her eyes and says, "Wales" ! He replies..." Oh, excuse me.... Are you whales from Ireland ? "​

Unfortunately , there is no O-ring on the part, the conical end is what seals, and mine were pitted with rust.

Update !!The Carb drain plugs came is a few days early, bike shop called me today, and she is ready to go! Going pick her up in the morning !!! Lol... this has been the longest 2 weeks I can remember in a while ! Will be glad to have my baby back !!!

Yeah, I'm gonna just bite the bullet and wait until the 20th and see if they become available, I'd HATE to get her back together, only to have to go back into them because I didn't want to wait. And thanks everyone, for helping me look into it ! Y'all are awesome !

I have been told by the mechanic at the shop, that on the carbs, there is no O-ring. Is this correct ? I sent the picture from an earlier reply to the mechanic, and was told the ones on the royal star carbs, have no O-ring?

No, they are not in stock, I spoke with them this morning. Not in stock

Me too. Had brand new tires delivered today that are going on the bike while they have it!

I know right ?????

THANK YOU sir

Thank you, I did speak with the seller on Amazon that you linked to, he confirmed they indeed were not in stock. I am waiting on a return email from cycle parts verifying that he actually has them in stock. Ill check the 3rd link out though.

I appreciate the effort. Being new to the forum as of February, I have to say, this is truly a great group of people !!!

Just checked eBay, couldn't find a single one for part number 4kp-14191-00-00

If you don't mind, check and see if the guys on the other forums , or leave me a link to it and I'll check there. Thanks a million !!!!

I've called partzilla as well as several other online parts house, contacted a couple of amazon sellers as well. They all verify that the parts are on back order, so I'm assuming they are being honest. I did ask why the older ones could not be used. They tell me that the plugs are tapered, no O-rings , and that he is afraid that they will not seal properly when he puts them ack in. So...... I guess I'm going to just have to wait for them to come in.

Do any members, happen to have 4 carb drain plugs , part number 4KP-14191-00-00, that they are willing to sell. I can't stand the thought of having to wait till the end of the month for them to come off back order. I'm tempted to just have them put the old ones back in, but I don't know enough about these carbs, to know if they are known to fail. Hate to have to take the bike back in again .
