    Well I done it now. I did everything I can think of to make the winter SNOW come back. I took the bike out of storage. I put all of the snow shovels away for the season. I packed all of the salt away for the season. I took the snow brush out of my truck I took the winter emergency kit out of the truck and put the summer kit back in. I took all of the storm windows off the house and put up the screens. Got the lawn mower ready to go got the weed wacker ready to go packed away all of my winter coats and boots and brought out the summer gear shaved off my winter beard changed over all of my RC stuff from winter to summer I don't know what more I can do...........

    Hmmmmm I just happen to have a video camera that has excellent night shooting capabilities. I have filmed deer and other wildlife at night when it was so dark that I could not see the deer with the naked eye.

    What Dan said. The guy on ebay just wants to sell those springs. If you fix the slip right away before things wear out you will not have to also replace the whole clutch. Slipping will wear out a clutch.

    I cant see it in the pics, what is it actually mounted to? I still need to mount my GPS on my 88 before I head out to MD.

    If that is the base of the CB antenna you need to splice Coax correctly or you could blow the CB transmitter. While you could make a temporary repair that will last a little while you are going to end up replacing it anyhow. If while it break it shorts the shield to the inner conductor and you transmit it will not be good for the transmitter. Also if the repair of the inner conductor breaks and you loose connection to the antenna it will also be bad for the transmitter. Best bet is to enter shopping mode.

    I bought a "demo" stove It had a big chip in the front top left corner. THE most noticeable spot. I was really poor at the time so I bought it at a really good price because of the damage. It is almond colored, the local hardware store had porcelain repair kits in all kinds of colors. It took like ten coats to build the chip up to the original thickness but you would be hard pressed to find that repair now even 20+ years later.

    I had it right. Do I win the ice cream? Next question is who did he pi$$ off that bad. If someone will go that far would they nick a tire or brake line and wait for it to blow. With just that vandalism I would give the bike a very thorough going over before riding it again.

    :rotfl: If there is that much in the carb, It would have plugged up a filter if there had been one. Either someone added a present to his gas tank or there should be a bunch of vehicles around with plugged fuel filters in the area. My Bro in law owns a service station and had cases where a local gas station had a bad load of gas. He had a sudden spike in clogged fuel filters and after questioning all of the customers, they all bought gas at the same place on the same day. The gas station paid all of the repair bills rather than taking dozens of people to court and getting it out in the news that they sold bad gas.

    Your getting there, 1 outa 3 is good At least the other 2 don't need more acid.

    I would have paid to see it to. I was told it was funniest thing ever when I jumped in the Wisconsin river to go chase a fish on. At the time I didn't even know what I had on, just that it could pull drag at will.

    I have a very unique accessory for my Venture. I am sure no one has anything like it. But then I doubt anyone would want anything like it. That accessory is ME!!!

    If the voltage is dropping under your load, you may need a bigger stator and a bigger R/R. Just putting in a R/R rated for more amps will not give any more power by itself. Just hooking up a bigger R/R will not make the stator put out any more power. The stator generates around 20 - 30 volts AC. The R/R just converts it from AC to DC (rectifier) and then controls the voltage to the 13.8VDC that you need (regulator). When your load is asking for more power than the stator can deliver the voltage drops as the amps go up. The type of regulator on our bikes can not increase voltage, it can only reduce a higher voltage to a lower one. So if the regulator output voltage falls to less than about 15 volts due to lots of amps being used, there is nothing the regulator can do to bring the voltage back up. There is also a limit to how many amps a regulator can handle. The stock regulator is sized to work with the stock stator. If you go to a more powerful stator, then you may also have to go with a more powerful R/R to handle the extra amps. A bigger R/R will do nothing by its self.

    But only if you have the pics to back it up. I will need a set immediately to see if they meet the requirements.

    Start something interesting is the best way. Of course it helps if you can take some ribbing so that people will keep putting in their own snide comments.

    FWIW. Lately when I place a Craigslist add I have been adding a line at the bottom. "Scammers, don't waist yours or my time, I'm not stupid." I now rarely get the scam offers to my adds, and If I do get one, I waste as much of their time as I possibly can. Go HERE for lots of good reading on messing with scammers. Years back there was a screen saver program that would just keep pinging the websites of scammers to totally fill there mailboxes with crap to make it hard to find the potential victims, or it would eat up all of their bandwidth so that victims would have a hard time logging in. Get this, the scammers took the company to court and got them shut down because they were interfering with the scammers livelihood. I sure wish I had a copy of that program.

    About the only thing I ever put on my FB account is my name, I never gave them any of my personal info I think I am all the way up to 3 friends now. I suppose I should just make it go away altogether.
