    Hey Big Tom

    Heck, they had those nasty things at the buffet I went to last night! I left them sittin' there for you Tom!
  3. I'll be there Bob, sounds like you started it, you finish it! Hey Starman, is that you I passed out in Hancock Cty maybe on 200 west the other day? I was on my 84 red heading south and you were heading north. It was later on in the afternoon.
  4. Plugs are cheap enough to replace every year, I'd go ahead and do that first, then move south where it's a lot warmer!
  5. It can be taken apart to fit in a smaller box, those side wings come off of the rear bumper pretty easy.
  6. I'd pull the seat and make sure you had it hooked up right first...........
  7. Prayers going out for all involved, hope the surgery goes well.
  8. Yep, think my mind is made up now, why take a chance on p*****g off the wife?
  9. Looks like you need some new cam cover gaskets and those bolt rubbers too. They just get hard with age and need replaced. I would also check where the wires come out of the stator cover (big cover on left side), they are notorious for leaking there also.
  10. Are you having to change out the shift drum and forks too?
  11. We're still there for now, haven't talked to the wif yet, she's on vacation. She really likes those rooms, tho. How's Comfort Inn compared to Oberlin? We might be changin' things around here next week.
  12. Hmmmm, gotta work on that 2nd gen already, Eh Charlie? Check all the plugs you can get to, if it was a 1st gen it'd be easy to do! Good luck, you might be ready to ride when it finally gets warm enough to ride up there!
  13. Not called a "freeze plug", but rather the drain for the heads if you ever have to take one off.
  14. :sign yeah that:
  15. We had beautiful weather here yesterday, overcast and about 45-50 today but I still found an excuse to take the bike out for a spin. Or two. Or three! Rain just started about an hour ago. Tuesday and Wednesday are also supposed to be gorgeous, but I gotta work, Such the luck......

    All lit up

    Looks great, definately be able to be seen with all those lights on there but,,,,,,,,,,, I thought I missed another party in chat!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. You need to check out the "WHY" thread for an answer to that question........
  18. Send me a PM with your addy, 2 will go out on Monday to you. Dan
  19. Where's the training wheels at? He hasn't swapped out that little twin for a 'copter jet engine yet? I'm shocked!
  20. That's what it sounds like, a valve thats stuck partially open. If you have access to the parts, get an adapter that will allow you to pressurize the cylinder, then listen at the exhaust and air filters for any air escaping out. Quick and easy check.
  21. Another satisfied customer of VR.org...........
  22. The "tang" or stinger is removeable, if you look at the underneath pic, you can see the hole that the pin goes thru, I just didn't install it for the pics, there's also a hole in the rear cross piece for the chain to hook into. I pulled my Craftsman trailer to Dons and down to the IR last year without any concerns, once I rebuilt the trailer and moved the box back about 6" to get the load corrected. A small 6 can (or bottle!) cooler will set easily on the platform tied down with some short bungie cords, ends up just below the license plate (for you LEOs out there!).
  23. I had posted some last year after I built it, but here's some I took last night. I use 1-1/2"x 1/4" flat bar for the horizontal bars, tied in at the muffler bolts, 1" flat bar for the vertical support bars (you gotta change out those top fender bolts to grade 8 tho, don't ask me how I know!); 1-1/4" angle for the rear cross piece between the runners, flat plate for the cooler rack and an 1-1/4" Class 1 stinger and tube. Everything is stick welded, extremely durable, offsets are built in to get around the rear pumpkin and swingarm. I'd probably go 150 + shipping if somebody wanted one, you buy your own stinger and ball (saves on shipping costs). These could go on either with or without the chrome rear "bumper", a small modification to the inside chrome piece (the up-sweeping piece) for the vertical riser to get past it is neccesary, but easily achievable with basic tools. Watchya' think? Ya, I know she's dirty, hasn't had that spring bath yet.........
  24. Yep, still much the same, slower than a 1st gen!!!!!!
  25. Good look there Mike, that's next on the list for me,,,,,,, Now you need to set that off with a custom platform hitch that I make for the 1st gens,,,:mo money:
