  4. I've been watching eBay for awhile now and I keep seeing 2nd gen tool kits but no 1st gen kits.. I will keep looking though if you guys fail me
  5. LOL That would be light enough but a little bulky..
  6. Hi all: I am in the process of attempting to restore an 87. It would replace my 84 if all goes well. I am in need of a few things but mostly Earl has come up with quite a bit of what I need. One item this thing is missing is a tool kit and I'd love to have an original tool kit for it so if any of you fine folk has one in a parts bike they would be willing to part with please let me know. Wayne
  7. there are at least 3 possible solutions depending on what the problem actually is.. You may get away with just getting beefed up springs. You may just need the bottom plate or you could replace all the plates.. Skydoc_17 has kits either way.. i would see what he has to offer and go from there..
  8. Thank you Don: And a Merry Christmas to you and your family.. as well as a GREAT New Year!! Also want to pass along a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the VR.org Members..

  18. Jack: Do you have any braces left or are you going to be making any more? I'm actually in the process of restoring an 87 and would love to get a brace for it.. Have one of yours on my 84 and very happy with it Wayne
  19. if garmin wanted to a simple update would give the existing 660 and 665 owners the same route options (ie twisties) It would be the best update I can think of.. On my iPhone I have a TomTom app that turns my phone into a full featured GPS.. about a year ago I got an automatic update. After the update a new choice in route options was available. Winding Roads and then Maximum, Medium, Minimum.. Amazing feature.. Problem is I use my Garmin 660 on the bike.. :-( Anyhow what I'm saying is I got that update for free and I'm very happy with what it does. Garmin could do the same thing and make a lot of people happy..
  20. I have a Home Depot in town here. Went in to get some plumbing fittings that I needed to custom fit something. Was sure it was going to be a little difficult making this happen. So I'm wandering around the plumbing section trying to figure out what would work. Up comes this 20 something cute young lady and says to me "Can I help you?" As my eyes roll to the back of my head I'm thinking "Yah Right" I say sure. Here is what I'm trying to do. She blew me away. "Oh" she says.. " You need this and this and this" Within seconds. Could have picked my jaw up off the floor. Turns out the Home Hardware trains their people really well and this young woman is the head of the plumbing department.. Been there a number of times for different things and they ALWAYS know where to find what I'm looking for.. Guess I'm just very lucky. On a side note a BIG Canadian Tire moved into town a few years ago and we were worried about the Home Hardware.. not to worry they are doing GREAT.. Even did a large expansion etc.. I wonder why? :-)
  21. Thanks Jim: Good Idea.. Added a Calendar Item..
  22. December the 14th Earl (Skydoc_17) and I will be meeting at Spragues Maple Farm for lunch. Anyone want to make it a Meet n Eat? Awesome place to eat and lots of room. Should be arriving around 1:00 in the afternoon. Everyone welcome. If there is a Blizzard that day then we will set another date.. I know it's a busy time of year but hanging out with friends is the best part of Christmas. http://spraguesmaplefarms.com/
  23. You can get them new from Sierra MC electronics http://www.sierra-mc.com/proddetail.asp?prod=JM-YV-41
  24. My favorite way to download YouTube on a PC (which is what you have) is to use Firefox as the browser and get the "video download helper" plugin for it. As soon as you find the video and start playing it there is a button in the top bar that looks like 3 balloons spinning slowly. Click on that and choose the resolution you want (I always choose the highest and in mp4 format) and choose the location to save it to (your flash drive) Done!! this works for a lot of video sites as well as YouTube.
