I miss these BOOMERISMS..... I think BOOMER and PUC should go riding together... I just wanna tag along....

Yep.... One man's trash is another's treasure.... Looks like the start of a great garage.....

Nope, I wish it were that simple... You need to go back into the supporting router software and reset the proto-calls. Something I know nothing about, but I'm so glad to have a daughter that married a hacker who does...

I just went thru a bout with pop-ups and hi-jacked links. Here's what we found after running a lot of blockers.. virus checkers... ad nausium. The problem wasn't with my computer, and that's why we couldn't find anything, but in my Wi-Fi router. Somehow?? The settings were corrupted and it was the culprit. Taking me to sites other than where I clicked and mainly it was when I clicked on a hot link taking me away from the site I was on. Changed the settings back to what they should be and got rid of that sucker!! Memo to self: Gotta stay out of naked chat rooms....

I remember that video. My thoughts were it would take a heck of a lot of amps to keep that thing up right and moving forward on longs trips. If someone doesn't want to fall over, I bet triking would be a lot cheaper....

There's a set of Mustang Seats on eBay right now. Never have tried them but others speak very highly of them....

Never know unless you ask.....

Swapped PM's with Scott yesterday. No results as yet, but he'll bring us up to date when he hears anything....

I'd mention that the RSV has been discontinued and it'll hang there forever.. And out of the kindness of your heart you'll give them $300 out the door. Rivco just made a run of 20 +/- RSV stands for the same price.

After looking at it a bit more it might have been home made???

Sears has been pushing a remover that looks like a reverse threaded wood screw. Don't know if they make one small enough to get to the idle screw on a first gen, but it's maybe worth a look....??

That's why I tow a trailer.... Plus it's easier to install...

Ebay is the best place to find bling. Search for Venture Star (chrome, leather, NOS). You'll have to wade thru all the Chinese stuff, but every once in a while you can find an acorn.... You can also find stuff in this boards classifieds. SlowrollWV also makes some nice stuff in Stainless... Wherever you find it be prepared to ....

Now that's cool... Had me fooled. I bet without the Tupperware, a few bucks could be saved. Another out of the box European idea no doubt.

Yeah, it sounds like your battery is really low. Why?? Not a clue. It could be the stator, rectifier, or the battery itself. When the last time you gave it a new batt?

What's the batt and charge condition?? Sometimes a weak spark will cause the sputtering....

That's only for Canada.....

There's another video of this bike out there somewhere where he picks up a 'Babe' hitchhiker. It either gets great mileage or has a huge tank....

Just for the heck of it, check to see if you don't have a rusted tank. There's a lot of variables that could cause your symptoms, but the color of the fuel makes me think it's the tank. Could be when you ran the Sea Foam it liquefied the crud that had collected in the bottom of the tank and it's on the move... Rust will get thru the filter and make it into the carbs. Pull the fuel line off the petcock and put it on reserve and see what comes out....

The K&N's have a lifetime warrantee. I had one do the same thing, called them, and they sent me a new replacement... por nada...

Looks like a Voyager Kit with some real nice wheel dressing....

OK here's the deal. I hope it's just a sign of old age...... and not something more serious.. May all your tests today turn out negative...

I find that very odd that it has to be in mint OEM condition before you can register it as a collectable. Requiring a bike to be older?? Yes... What happens when a Harley collector brings in a 1908 rust bucket?? They have a collector plate, here in CA ,but when registered can only be riden to and from 'Events'. Swaps, shows, parades, etc. I thought it would be neat to have plates for my '83VR but decided against it because of the restrictions...

I wonder if that's all tire manufacture hype?? Kinda like helmet hype about replacing them over 5 years old.... Helps sell tires and helmets?? I rode a rear EII that was on the '83VR to Ft Collins and back, and it was at least 15 years old. I thought about replacing it before the trip because the tread looked a little thin, but after posting pics here on the board the general consensus was Run 'Em... The front had an Avon Venom, and it also did fine...this time... These MC tires are built to take a beating, and I don't think a few years storage, even with a 5+ date, is going to hurt them any.

Beautiful area. Used to work for Ithaca Gun Co. back in the '70's. Always enjoyed attending sales meetings there during the fall....
