February is Customization Month!

Randakks Honda GL1000

For many of us, our motorcycle is an extension of our personality. A two-wheeled conglomerate of metal and self-expression. This month’s featured products are dedicated to those individuals eager to chop, weld, bend, and customize their bike into a 1-of-1 kind of ride.

Not so “Green,” No-Drop Idle Mixture Adjustment Method

I find the factory recommended idle mixture screw setting specs to be very close to ideal. They are listed here for the Honda GL1000.

I do usually richen them up an extra 1/8 to 1/4 turn (out) to compensate for the leaner modern “gasoline” which is diluted with ethanol in most US markets.

But sometimes, you just need an excuse to do some high performance tuning on your bike! 🙂

Viton in Vintage Motorcycle Carburetor Components?

All of the ordinary round orings and many other components in Randakk’s Master Carb Overhaul Kits® are made of genuine Viton®. In fact, every oring we’ve ever shipped has been made of Viton®!

There are actually many “grades” of fluorinated synthetic rubber like Viton®. Randakk’s uses the same spec material that Mercedes and Toyota use in fuel system components that are subjected to the oxygenated “gasoline” marketed in North America.

Plus – through proprietary molds and other tooling assets, we make many other Viton® components ourselves via our own exclusive manufacturing arrangements. The proprietary components made in Randakk’s molds are not available elsewhere.

For diaphragm items such as accelerator pumps and air cut-off valves, we have direct and exclusive sourcing arrangements with superior production partners that by-pass normal trade distribution channels. This allows Randakk’s to impose unique-to-Randakk’s product specifications. 

Why is this important? Read on.
