magifesq Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 We sell Kreem kits - acid & liner in one kit about $40, I used a kit on a totally trashed 95 VT1100 Ace tank and got 10 years out of it.Carbs aren't so bad, most of the time the I get by with purchasing new jets and they're usually all good from there.

rick37 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I think I could do the tank but if anyone knows how to clean carbs and will do these one for me at a reasonable fee I would bring them to you. I just want to get these two things done before I start modifying this bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerik Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 (edited) We'd be interested over here, but you need to think about a rebuild kit or jets-- odds are, on something that old, when you get it open you'll find the rubbers are in bad shape. PM me or Hob13 if you think you want our help.We can also help with the tank if you need it- we've still got the nails and such from when we cleaned Hob13's new tank.
