Make sure to check the pickup times on the box you drop it in. If that box already had its pickup your return will be postmarked with TOMORROWS date. In my younger days I used to like to go down to the main post office with a couple of cold ones, to watch the lines of people trying to get their return into the hands of the postal worker before midnight. As midnight approached people got more and more panicky. Great fun, for me as a spectator. Now with e-file it is not fun to watch anymore, no more long lines.

I notice that every spring. The tire gets a layer of oxidation while sitting over the winter. I just take it easy for the first 100 miles till I wear the tires back in. Work gradually on building up your lean angle to wear the sides of the tire back in.

Well at least in pic 2 there are 2 hammers out. Did the hammers contribute to pic 5?

Are you talking about a reflection of the top of the dash onto the windshield, or the glare that you get off the instruments with the sun at your back?

My GF can only walk once around the block with the dog on a leash. The dog still loves it and if she forgets that it is "time" to go for that walk she will be reminded in no uncertain terms. That dog knows exactly when it is 2:00pm, and you better be ready to go for a walk. I take the dog on the long walks at the off leash dog parks or just thru the woods where I hunt. Now if you really want a workout come try to follow me thru the woods.

You could come and take my dog for a walk, she loves going for walks. Yesterday I took her to the dog park where it is 1.25 miles per lap around the park. I did 5 laps or 6.25 miles so the dog did 40-50 miles. We both slept good.

I guess I never looked the price the first time. My eyes kind of glassed over when I saw it. But then it is marked down from 259.99 to ONLY 226.06. You can tell the wife it was on sale. You saved 33.93......... There's always a way to justify anything you really want.....

Windshield
Flyinfool replied to lwinders's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I am not sure about the 83 factory shield, but on my 88 factory shield there is an anti scratch coating that did get hazy over time. The only way I was able to get back to a clear shield was to wet sand the coating off and polish the shield. While this did give me a nice clear new looking shield. once the coating was gone it would scratch if you looked at it wrong. Even the impact of a bigger bug would leave a permanent mark. You will be re-polishing it often. I finally just bought a new shield. Now IF I can get F4 to start making a 1st gen shield......... -
Money is no object when you are talking about an addiction........ Want RULES ALL......

I like it....

I've never done that.

But I don't want to move to Atlanta, and I design things so they do not need jigs or fixtures. Especially if I'm the one that has to build it.
-
Well it has to spend more time on the road cuz there sooooo sloooow.......

If I do decide to go commercial making these then I may have to come up with a complete system. what I have now requires the front tubes from a Markland hitch. I have no clue if this will work on a MK I. Maybe at Dons MD I can get a good look at a MK I with a Markland hitch to see if it would use the same receiver or not. More likely is that I will do one here and there as conversions.
-
I have just over 1,000 LEDs that I can put on the bike. Might need more relays for that.
-
Did you know that you can get these style relays in a single pole DOUBLE throw configuration? Just think of the possibilities...........
-
If you know how many you have, you don't have enough. ONLY 6 or 5? Rookies I have them for; Hid head light power HID head light start Left horn right horn fog lights trailer left turn trailer right turn trailer running lights front power plug rear power plug air compressor Plans for more.......... 2nd gens still cant keep up...........

Yes you appear to need help. Check this out http://search.digikey.com/us/en/products/VCF4-1001/PB316-ND/254533

I checked a bunch of class I hitches at a local store. They were all a 5 inch long receiver tube with the hole at 2.50 inches from both ends. So I followed the lead so that anything from a store should fit.

Well there I was, out in the back yard working on the bike. It has been having some carb issues beyond the abilities of even the magical Seafoam. The next thing I know I'm chasing the dang front tire as it goes rolling down the street. That tire was quick. It managed to stay about 3 feet in front of me for the next 3 hours. That dang tire rolled all over SE WI with me right behind it. I thought I had it once at a gas station but I took my eye off it for just a second and zoom, it was off and rolling down the road again with me in hot pursuit. But I did finally catch it and lock it up in the shed. Now I have a smile on my face and feel like a nap is in order. Watch out for those front tires, they can be sneaky.

Ya gotta do a MD before it gets so full of stuff that there is no room to do maintenance.
