Good Afternoon Folks, I just wanted to let you all see the installation of the new Hard top on my 925, it all went very well BUT I will give a couple clues to anybody else making this conversion. The TM is good but goes over just the rudimentary stuff. What I will say is to install the back...
Good Afternoon guys I have recently got a 925 in my hands (thanks to Glen in Salina) and I was working on it today and when I hit the brake pedal I had a big puff of air come out my engine intake stack? I crawled under and traced the air lines and they do in fact run directly into the...
