where did you get the adapter for the spin on? any pics/links would be helpful. Good thread Goose, maybe it`should be moved to read only tech once complete info is gathered about how to add spin on if not one already there. spin on to replace canister filter is awesome!! by the way, have u checked with auto zone 4 filters? last i bought were cheap, good quality, came with o-rings and shipped to my door for free.. worth a try, maybe....

And then there was the time my oldest daughter (Awahoo) and I were out at the Sturgis Rally - touring on my first 1st Gen that the kids named B.G. (Big Girl). We were playing around at Wall Drug and then I saw her standing at one of the song racks with a pair of those Head Phones on sampling music. She had tears running down her face, pulled the headphones off and handed em to me and said "Daddy,, they wrote a song about you".. By the time I got thru the first listen to I had tears running down my cheeks too.. It truly is an amazing thing when I man KNOWS that people really do get you... THANKS ROLLER!! Puc

The State of South Dakota is known for many great things. For us bike fanatics, touring "The Hills" and riding to the annual Harley Davidson Sturgis Rally in South Dakota has been a way of life for many years and, perhaps for that reason, motorcycling has been one of the great things that South Dakota is known for. During the 40's, 50's and 60's and long before the invasion of the Japanese motorcycles onto the shores of North America, big air cooled, 4 stroke, chain driven motorcycles ruled the Territories. It was a day and age when American and European bike manufactures like Harley Davidson, Indian, BSA and Triumph dueled it out on race tracks, back roads and open Highways in direct competition to keep a foot hold in the ever increasing demand for motorcycles. It was also a day and age before modern electronics had taken over. Magneto/points ignition, REAL analog volt and amp meters, relay switches that were fired by a coil and chrome covered mechanical voltage regulators were all a common factor in those days. Primary and secondary drive chains had to be maintained, drive chains were commonly hand oiled by a maintenance minded owner of such a machine with oil seepage taking over for chain lubrication if the owner was not maintenance minded. . 50 weight oils and above were the norm as 1/2 thou tolerances were unheard of and the inner workings found inside the pot aluminum cases covering those air cooled engines would rattle like crazy on thinner lubricants when they got hot - the modern day precision Water Cooled shaft driven motorcycles were yet to come. It is getting uncommon to rub shoulders with a person who actually owned and rode those early motorcycles and almost impossible to find a person like that who still owns the actual bike that he rode back in the day.. Last summer (2015) Tip, Tweeks and I were heading out for another adventure to the Sturgis Rally and before we left, I checked The VR Watering Hole for any messages from other folks who were also headed that way. I noticed a note from one of our VR members, a fellow named @Hoss, who had written an invitation for anyone passing by his home town of Brookings South Dakota to stop by and say howdy. I wrote down the phone number Hoss had provided in his invitation - just in case - and we headed west. A couple days later found us waking up in one of our favorite free camping spots along the western trail in a town called Blue Earth which is in the State of Minnesota. As we were strapping our tent on Tweeks back I announced to Tip that I thought we should take the long way around to the Pie Butt 26.2 that @bj66 had planned during the Sturgis Rally just to stop and take Hoss up on his offer - Tip liked the idea. After chasing the front wheel in a Northwestern direction on the back roads across Minnesota and mid eastern South Dakota we landed in Brookings and were blessed with making the acquaintance of and rubbing shoulders with one such man. Grab a Hot Dog and some Pop Corn and join us while Hoss (aka Dan Blocker) and his gorgeous 1967 BSA Thunderbolt share their story with us!!

I am right there with you Eck!! Nothing funner than having the doorbell ring and finding a VR member I have or have not met yet standing on the other side of the door - wayyyyy cool!! I know there are other members here too that feel the same way. Last year one of our members ( @Hoss ) posted up a "STOP AND SAY HI" note in the Watering Hole to all of us members who were headed for @bj66 's Pie Butt 26.2 out at the Sturgis Rally. Tip and I took the long route to Sturgis to take him up on his invite, what a BLAST we had (I am right in the middle of doing a little story about it - should be posted up pretty soon). Much to our delight - later in the year Hoss and his wife returned the gesture and stopped by our home here in Muskegon on their way out to the east coast for their Wedding Anniversary - FANTASTIC COUPLE!! Another great couple, @bluestar99 and his wife, have done the same - they have even made it out to our Hot Dog shin digs too.. Pretty cool really cause ya just never know around this place who your gonna get to go exploring the country with!! I know I have posted this up before but thought I better mention it here too.. Lots of folks dont know this about us but Tip and I are - ride till we drop and camp where we stop - kinda folk. We know what its like to be in a strange land, middle of the night and be looking for some bushes to hide our sleeping bags behind - sort of old school but so are we.. Because we know what that is all about our yard/driveway/backyard what ever is ALWAYS open to VR biker tent floppers - whether we are home or not, middle of the night, no phone call necessary and all that.. Just pull in and drop your tent!! Our house is easy to find on the members map - my "balloon" on that map also points at a fire pit in our back yard and camp fires are good to go there... Still think it would be AWESOME if we had some kind of "Free Yard Camp" section on the site in case there are others with the same old school ideas...

BEAUTIFUL ECKSTER!!!! Was gonna encourage you to do some extra dry time and make sure ya get the fuel resistant clear coat on before you put fuel in it but then it occurred to me that... SHARP MY FRIEND!!:clap2::clap2:
