Rusted Nuts

Boy do I hate it when I have rusted nuts ::) ,, I have been soaking my NUTs (on the Goat Belly) in Weasel Piss,also know as Deep Creep by Sea Foam,,, GREAT stuff if you have RUSTED nuts or Bolts.. the longer it sits the more it Creeps in you rusted nuts .and the warmer you Rusted Nuts are the deeper the oil will seep,,,,,..SO I should have my Gutted GB installed this weekend,Heard the Bike w/the baffle gutted,, now will see what adding the Gutted GB will sound like w/the modded pipes,
Rich with the Rusted nuts

Try some salt and butter.


Oh, you mean they aren't roasted nuts?

The GB is the goat belly (pre-muffler between the mufflers at the front of the swing arm which contains a catalytic converter in most bikes.)

Check out this link:

NOT a dumb question,I didn't know what a GB was till a few months ago Gadget s LINK that was posted is a GREAT sorce... FOR ALOT of Questions. ALSO LOOK into Gutting the Stock mufflers...ALSO on Gadgets site.. got a stock exhaust syatem from a Forum member allready with a Gutted Goats belly and the Silencer removed from the Muffler.. just the muffker sounds good, Ill add the Gutted GB later,Rich

Hey Rich! I have to say I still love the Sabre. When I go riding with #1 son and his new sporty, The Sabre gets the nod, it handles so well but when the weekend gets here and the wife wants to ride we get on the 'Nad. We were out yesterday and I just had to yell to her how I am continually impressed at how smooth the bike rides. I just need to figure out what it causing the heavy vibration and noise coming from the front end at times. It is odd and doesn't always do it, so hard to nail down. Tires dont look bad but I am just about ready to replace them as I suspect they are the source. ??? Really thinking about doing the holesaw bafflectomy on the pipes too. What is the concencus on the drill size? I see 2" and 1-3/4"?
