Gyro - general thread

[DeathByFox]

Dear gyro thread. For the past two days i have been punching myself in the nuts over the deal i snoozed on. If anyone has seen the illinois/indiana craigslist you would have seen the 86 gyro for 100$!!!!!! and you ask why didnt i buy this...Because when i called it was sold......so now ill just live vicariously through your posts.

i will be selling some gyro decals. if anyone wants a set. you get every sticker that comes on the gyro. even the fenders. you can check out the details in the wanted/ for sale section called honda gyro decals 1985/1986. as of now i am waiting for vinyl but once i get the vinyl, i will be taking orders. there will also be an ebay link when the vinyl is in. feel free to ask questions

Ha - lots going on here in a week!

66Six posted a good fender idea, gyromaniac is up to Gyro sticker repro's and a trans knock. Motormike posted some artbike stuff, for which Flying Eyeball and V.D. is still up for grabs. 66Six is on a seat roll, has a now famous upholster who's done a bazillion good looking seats for 66Six.

I met member zuphilius and bought his '84 Gyro. Half the time was spent attempting to convince him to hold on to it. It's a keeper! Here's photos after a wash/wax and carb work. We added a front basket then took a 1/2 hour ride. This is our new favorite grocery getter.

Under the covers, things are as good or better than his thread, sure appreciate a bike with everything gone over. Thanks zuphilius this is 2 bananas

Glad to hear you got it running proper. It would have been nice to keep it, but no place to keep it was the deciding factor. Looks amazing!!

Von Dutch is a winner!!.....gyromaniac with the door-prize.....you can pick that up at my house, there's an old fridge out back with the door off....Happy marketing mouse3wheels.......

i just had one of my inner tubes burst. do they still make 450/540-6 tire tubes? if so where can i get one. if not i found a 15x6-6 tire inner tube and i wanted to know if that would fit. thanks

[mousewheels]

do they still make 450/540-6 tire tubes?

I got some from Honda a while back, probably can get then elsewhere too. I've never tried the larger tubes.

[motormike]

No, 15X600X6 tube is way too much to be stuffing into a 4.50-5.30X6.....the right size is available at ACE hardware....bought 2 there this summer....AND most any other lawnmower parts distributor.

[gyromaniac]

well at least i dont have to order them offline now
