    Depending on what you plan to use it for, many (most) of the cheap IR temp guns do not work well checking the temp of chrome, aluminum or other shiny metals. Idealy they like to look at a flat black surface. For a little more money you can get them with adjustable emissivity that will allow you to do Temp check of bare metals much more accurately.

    See Dan, I knew you could stay well ahead of me...... Maybe you are just using too much lube while screwing the roof...... I sure hope I never get that old.......

    Just what I need, Even worse gas mileage. I just hope it remains optional and never becomes mandatory.

    Battery #5 on a 5 year old bike tells me there is some other problem going on.

    All of the dimensional data for the bolt is here. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41489

    If the reservoir is full to the top it is overfull. Use a rag or paper towel to get some fluid out so that it is about half full. DO NOT let any fluid drip on paint or plastic.

    Can you see the fluid level in the master sight glass? It should be around the middle of the glass.

    It depends, If you replace the diodes BEFORE the old one dies it can be done. If you wait till the TCI stops working, there is no way to bring it back to life. Once dead, stays dead forever.

    Geeze Dan What do you meen keep up with.... That puts you one up on me again, yet, still. I'm still trying to catch up to you....... At least I did not fall from the same thing twice...... And I was smart enough to land on my head to minimize damage instead of my bad leg........ Maybe you should put some flypaper on the bottoms of your shoes.......or at least on your butt..... You do not have to save all of the falling for me, I'm not that way, I'll share. Set up a video cam to catch the next slide and fall.......we wanna watch to.......

    Hmmmmmm.......... I'm gonna hafta try that. I have a new stator sitting on the kitchen table that needs to go in. I will try to see if I can get the side cover off without taking off the middle gear cover. I thought I tried that when I did the starter clutch but that was a long time ago and I have CRS syndrome. The last time I had my cover off I did not drain the oil, with the bike on the center stand very little oil came out. most of it came out of the middle gear and that does not drain with the engine, that is why the crush washer is on the bottom bolt, that is the drain for the transmission. There may be some differences between my 88 and your 83.

    Don't even think about just buying a helmet online to work with glasses. I just bought a modular helmet. I tried on at least 15 different helmets before I found one that does not push my glasses somewhere they should not be. Different glasses and different heads will work in different helmets. My new helmet is a size 2XL, my old helmet of the same brand is a L. They both fit correctly. I went helmet shopping because my old helmet did not work well with my new glasses. My new helmet does not work with my old glasses. With my new modular I can get the helmet on and off without having to remove my glasses.

    You will get used to the comments. I'm getting used to the hey "nice gold wing" comments on my 1st gen.......

    First you have to remove the middle gear cover, then you can get the left side cover off. The stator is screwed to the inside of the cover. You do not need to remove the round panel in the middle of the cover, if that round cover is not leaking, leave it alone. You also do not have to remove that small plug just in front of the round panel. You will need to have the side cover gasket, the middle gear cover gasket and the crush washer that goes on the bottom screw of the middle gear cover. It is common to be leaking oil where the 3 wire from the stator come thru the side cover. Clean this area thoroughly with brake cleaner to get all of the oil out of the cloth covering of the wires, then goop the wires up real good with black RTV inside and out rub the RTV into the cloth wire insulation good.

    Well she knows that I am always sore after playing with the "kids". So I am covered for a few more days.......

    I have been hovering waiting to find out the price. If it is reasonable then I'm in.

    It has been reported in the last few weeks that Milwaukee got off the list by not reporting some of the rapes, beatings requiring extensive medical care, and even murders as violent crimes.

    Congratulations, I hope he makes MLB MVP some day. I order for it to be worth anything some day you would need documentation to prove its history.
