OUTSTANDING!! :clap2: and your new family MIGHTY MOUSE!!!!

Miles,, I think if I were in your shoes, having read what I have read,, I would walk away.. Just to many variables my friend.. Just the fact that it went down hard enough to need new forks concerns me.. Tweeked frames are hard to detect without being able to ride it... I have a very good friend in California who is a member here who just did a tear down to the frame and back up again and I can tell you, if that were to present itself - its a huge job.. Not only that, but LOTS of other stuff happens in accidents to motorcycles that wont show their evil little faces until just the right time,, right time for them = always wrong time for you.. Even beyond the bikes accident, unless you know this person personally and know his skill level and know you can trust his mechanical ear,,, there is so much going on mechanically with a bike engine/tranny that I personally trust no ones ear but my own and even my own ear has tricked me at times.. Hope this dont hurt to much but really,, I think you should walk away..

Showing this to a buddy Natty,, I still cant get over your gorgeous piece of work brother!!!

WOW ZZZZ WOW WOW WOW!!! THAT is unreal!! Tell ya one thing Lewis,, you/me and every other student that took Journalism in 12th grade should have paid a WHOLE lot more attention brother - if that lady is 94, I TOTALLY MISSED SOMETHING!!! Awesome Lewis - just AWESOME!!!

I dont know why you guys gotta keep and causing mischief.. Cant we all just get along, be friends and let snow storms of the past drift off like Frosty the Snowman? I mean, if ya really stop and think about it, even Frosty melted away with a smile on his face.. What we need in this world is less and more love,, more flowers in our hair and a deeper sense of well being..

Ah ah ah,, thats YammerDan talking,, I happen to know that Maroon/Blonde/Black 83's are the fastest EVER!! Like this real pretty Maroon/Blonde/Black 83 right here:

You are losing your touch Bossman,, after all the :stickpoke:and his great love for Harleys you of all people could have used this one.. :crackup::crackup: https://columbiamo.craigslist.org/bar/4938108974.html

Know what cha mean about the growing old feeling pal,, you know that!! Prayers Up and Blessings Down my friend!!

Crazy as it sounds Nancy, take a look at this!! Click on the link and scroll down thru all my gibberish and see what Silvrt did!! Its right at the bottom of this thread, last post = 90!! If it ever came to be anything I would give you a copy, reading it may just make those little chin hairs disappear!!! :guitarist 2: Hmmmm,, might actually be worth reading if it worked as a womens hair removal apparatus (scare the hair off your face) than as a true Autobiography!! http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?94309-Ahhhh-the-summer-of-14-ADVENTURE-SERVED-UP-GORMET-STYLE!!!!/page6

It's the boy's!!! Yep Don, that pretty much sums it up,, only thing I might add is a quote from the late/great Moe Howard speaking to Curly, goes something like this,, ahemm,, "one of us is crazy and it aint me"!!

Heyyyy,, wait a minute,, wasnt it Finland who was financially broke a while back,, I have noticed when localities (like ours here in Muskegon) get in financial trouble that Law Enforcement can turn into an apparent money grab.. Nope,, I was wrong,, I was thinking about Greece..

WOW ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gathering out of State tickets in the US has been a great pass time of mine for years and I gotta say, California holds a definite 1st place in the willingness reach into the wallet (IMHO) but this Finland place,, they are operating from a whole nother book I tell ya.. Wonder how many of their folks ride bicycles - I sure would!!

Wow,, thats strange Bkn,, aint never heard of it on one of our V-4's,, wonder if it got starved for oil and seized the balancer,, strange.. Sorry to hear that happened to you!! There are lots of motorcycle yards around and it seems like because wrecks usually involve twisted front ends and frames, a good motor should be doable. Have you searched ebay and craigs? Adhuntr.com is what I use for searching all of craigs, may be worth a shot.. To bad an 87 1300 wont fit it, I got a really good runner I aint gonna be able to use.. Bummed right along with ya my friend,, that is a bummer!! Best wishes on getting her back on her feet again! Puc

Them is they and whoever they is I dont like em,, Dan's my friend and he earned every bit of retirement income he is suppose to be getting!! Wish I was rich Dan,, I would buy you a brand new Spyder and give it to you just because you served our country in that god aweful mess over there!! Sorry to hear they/them did that to you bro!

A DARE - I LOVE A DARE,, ESPECIALLY A DOUBLE DARE!! Hmmmmm,,, years ago at Deer camp my Uncle teased me about my early manhood youthful peach fuzz "beard" and suggested I smear cream on it and have a cat take my wiskers off as it removed the cream.. I never did try it Nance (was never much of cat guy, I liked my beard more than cats) and always wondered if it would actually work.. You folks gotta cat? Might be worth a try.. Never know, it might work and, if nothing else - you and your cat will be closer than ever!!!

Hey Tart,, wassup.. Welcome back to the real world .. I like a little so lets see if I can do a little of that this morning.. I always wondered what the best carb cleaning stuff was so many years ago, when I could still use my hands (got dupungens) and was doing a lot of carb work, I did a PST (Puc Science Test). Took a set of real nasty old carbs from a 4 cylinder Kawi, broke the carb bank down and had four matching samples. I used pure Auto Zone spray carb cleaner in one tank, Chem-Did dip tank cleaner in another, pure Sea Foam in another and STP Injector/Carb gas additive in another.. Now remember, ALL of these were pure - not diluted with gas as a couple of them are suppose to be used.. This was also a NO touching test - no brushing, no stirring, just soak only.. Of course, the Chem-Dip did an amazing job in less than an hour, the spray cleaner came in 2nd -with seeable results after soaking for 2 days, the STP came in 3rd with some results happening in 5 days, I actually gave up on the Sea Foam after a week of soaking with seeing no results in its attempt at loosening hard varnish from the bottom of the bowls (much less any effect on orvices).. Now,, I HAVE used a LOT of Sea Foam thru the years and have found it really is amazing stuff as far as making bikes run better and I am not sure why - that is why I used the term PST earlier and not ST (Scientifict Test) - I am NO scientist.. All that said,, what would I do if I were you.. If I had the TIME and the use of my hands back I would ripped those carbs out, dismantle em right down and ultra sound clean em till they sparkled and I KNEW every passage way was clean.. I would check my diaphrams very carefully and if I wasnt happy with em, replace em and I would use all new gaskets and oring when I put it back together.. On the other hand, I have also been in yours shoes many many times and successfully did another one of my Puc quick cleans that resulted years ago from another PST.. Here is how it works.. I only use this method if I know the carbs gotta come apart anyway so if it doesnt work I really aint out nothing.. Also, I will be talking here from a 1st Gen perspective, only ones I know.. Bike on center stand so its level. Pull air filter, remove mice nest. Stick long screw driver in carb throats and lightly move slides to make sure they move freely. Open drains on carbs one at a time, turn key on an off and see if gas flows from open drain. Getting gas = good, no gas, problems before carb (fuel pump, filter). Remove covers over diaphrams and pull slides. Take Syringe from ag store, fill with Chem-Dip, attach to carb drain hose, open carb drain screw, inject Chem-Dip into carb thru drain hose, watch main jet (what the needle that hangs from the bottom of the slide that is attached to the diaphram slides into inside the carb body) with a flashlight and as soon as Chem-Dip runs out of the Main Jet a little = close the drain plug. Do all four carbs.. Let sit 1 hour = NO MORE, NO LESS!! After 1 hour, re-attach Syringe, open drain plug, pull syringe in and out like plunger to agitate Chem-Dip a little, suck Chem-Dip out of Carb. Fill carb with Spray Carb Cleaner (plastic squirter on can into drain hose) until it runs out of main jet, close drain plug. Do rest of carbs.. Repeat agitating action on carb cleaner with syringe and suck it out. Close all Drains, turn key on and off till fuel pump fills bowls, one at a time - open drains on carbs and bleed gas into glass jar to see how clean it is, bump key to get good flow, dont stop till nice and clean.. Do all carbs.. Clean the slide tubes in the carb bodies real well with carb cleaner and a rag, make double sure those slide move smoothly and freely.. Snap er together and go for ride.. Bike runs on all four, sync em down and head west! Gotta run.. I will double check my work here later and see if I missed anything:doh: Back,, I know what I forgot,, dont forget to cover your bike with rags anywhere any of this stuff may come in contact with it!!!

What da heck Silv, you in kahoots with the top of my head or something - it feels the exact same way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
