Low, slow, consistent temp, The mantra of southern BBQ’rs. Smoke at a steady 225* with a pan of water in the smoker to reduce the stall. Cook til 160 internal, pull it and wrap it in foil. Put back in til 200*, pull it and put in a cooler to rest at least an hour. While smoker is warming trim the fat cap to 1/4” or less, trim all other fat and silver skin off. Rub brisket with mustard for a binder, use salt and black pepper for the seasoning. plan for 1hr per pound cook time.

Supposed to leak thru at a slower rate and more stable, I could see it in race cars but really see no reason on the road. I’m betting you can check the pressures from the driver seat anyway. My truck even sends a text if one gets low, no excuse for driving on low tires. I did get the ceramic coating on mine aftermarket, I hate waxing. Thinking of doing the bike next.

Just to be clear, the oil is 1/2 way up the glass with the bike setting straight up? A common mistake is to fill with the bike on the kickstand.

I’ve always heard this is an eating club with a motorcycle disorder, how many biker groups discuss smoking ………….meat? That being said I bought a 13lb brisket this week, throwing it in the smoker soon.

Got the front end and new shield back together from the bird strike!!! Gonna check brakes and flush fluids next few days. Thinking I’ll be able to make Asheville this year, my retirement present to me.

I use Walmart carb cleaner for situations like this. It makes an excellent degreaser. Outside and away from sparks.

Welcome back. I’m in Calloway Co, West end of the state. We’re up the WK Pkwy pretty often, maybe we can hook up sometime.

Welcome aboard. Like I told you there’s nothing that can go wrong on the bike you can’t find the answer here to. Tons of fun and get togethers for just $12.

Went through it buying the wife’s first new car years ago. Back then they had a first time buyer discount so we did it in her name. She signed most of the papers before I looked at them. He loaded it up with extras without asking. I read over the contract and ripped it in half in front of him, he too had to reprint and re-figure. Had his tail between his legs after that.

This part of the country they’re running 4K and up. Most are in the $6000 and up asking price, not necessarily selling price. Insurance Co valued mine at $6900 last week.

Congrats. Hope y’all enjoy it.

I've got 68,000 on mine and hoping to take off to Asheville next month. Runs great, no oil usage, and like setting on the couch. I hope to get another 150-200K out of it. I retire in a couple weeks and plan to run the wheels off of it.

The hot cylinder could point to one carb having issues running lean. I second the raising the rear to help handling. I’m 6’2” and love it.

If I get to make it I’ll be at a hotel nearby, Any recommendations on one? Don’t have to be fancy, bed n a hot shower as long as it’s clean.

I just moved my daughter to Gainesville, next trip down maybe we can grab a cup.

It’s a very small low pressure pump. I don’t remember the pressure but it’s low.

Oreilly sells a low pressure pump I used in my 86. Mr. Gasket I believe. Had to add a fitting or two to get the angle on the line.

All my damage is mounting tabs on the inner and a bolt hole broke out on the outer. Think a little ABS softened with MEK and some flat ABS will work.

Nope. I guarantee if we’re outta gas and pushing she ain’t talking. Either yelling or I’m getting the silent treatment. 🤣🤣🤣

Has anyone replaced thePTT switch? Know where to get it? The parts fiche only shows replacing the whole assembly. I’ve cleaned the contacts in the past to get more life out of it but it’s getting irritating. I use Mic Mutes so I need it operational. If I can’t find an OEM I’ll either have to replace it all or rig a new micro switch in there.

2nd Gen one piece inner. I’m gonna repair it myself since it shouldn’t involve any paint. The damage is all on hidden areas. I was worried they’d try to total it because of part availability, I wasn’t interested in totaling it. They haven’t made an offer yet but the damage estimate is in the $3k range.

My 86 is the same story. I found this site by googling problems with it. After multiple problems every search brought me here, I felt a little guilty for the free help and joined. Best thing I ever did, met new friends I didn’t know I had and enjoy the get togethers.

Ain’t it cool how much time and headache $12 saves? The gurus came thru again 😂

Oh boy, I can just imagine my life if I came home with a 1/2 helmet!!!! Dr daughter’s first call on the ambulance during pre-med was an over the bars faceplant (1/2helmet). She’s been on me since then to quit riding, seems the visible brain matter made an impression on her. Now she’s in the ER she sees worse. While we know and I’m sure she does too, choice of helmet probably made no difference in the outcome of that wreck. it makes her and the wife feel better with more helmet. I’ll take the hit and wear a lid to make them happy. Daughter called to say hi while we were shopping, mom told her what we were doing and she instantly replied “one with a full face, right?” Not too happy with my incident last week with open face.
