What would you Guy's pay? $25-$50 per set? I would.

I made some for my 750 twin advancer and it was a PITA but it runs so much better now.

Got my KZ 750 advance. The springs are heavier as are the arms. The T mark is in the same place but the F mark is retarded about about 5*. The full advance mark is in the same place. My springs are very weak so I will switch them and the arms. These springs are heavier as well. We'll see how it goes.

Did the switch. My new Dyna S rotor came today too. I put the advance and rotor on, fired it up. Idle is steadier, the marks don't jump around and it revves faster. Success :woohoo: . If anyone needs the advance plate and rotor just ask. They're in good shape. They're for electronic ignition. The pins on mine are good so I don't need it.




My exhaust was rattling so I took out the baffle and found this. Oil soaked, matted SHT. I took the packing off the drag baffle and put it on the compitition baffle. Much better.




My Mustang seat came in as well as my new dash cam.
Let the good times roll. :lol:

Sounds good Steve. When I was running my Kerker I made my own baffle out of expanded steel and wrapped it with FMF 4-stroke baffling. Sounded great.

Thanks Jon. It was starting to get kinda loud even for me. The rattling is what made me look into it. Glad I did.

Bossie thanks you. Now that's out of the way, I can try to get my jetting gnat's ass. Got a little project to go to this morning. I'll have a vid of her first ride. This was more or less a experiment. There's some other cheap advance units on eBay that look pretty good. I think changing the arms wit the springs was the key. The rotor was worn out too.I'll take better care of it. :whistle:

Went for a test run this morning, Damn suction mount failed. good thing I have a Lanyard on it.

The camera works great and it looked like the mounting was better, NOT, the locking ring got a split in it. :angry:
I managed to get a few clips.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationLooks like Oink and his cronies washed out on this one. I was occupied so I wasn't able to bid at the last moment like I would. I'd paid $50 for it if need be. He got $20. As I said before, sales seem to be way down now. Some sellers are complaining about it and are blaming the CHINESE sellers for their loss of business. I think I came out ahead with the one I bought and adapted the parts to my stock one. I've also put in some low offers on a few items. We'll see if it works. :whistle:

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo one is bidding on it. Early style. My new cam Fked up the first day. The seller wants me to send it to CHINA. I said NO. Keeps calling me dear. :angry: Offered me $10. NO. I told them I'd give a bad review and tell everyone I know about it.
