  1. I love my Rivco center stand..... From the pics the side stand should come right off after the lock nut on the back side is taken off??
  2. NUVI external speaker cable to the Aux plug on a 2ndGen.....???
  3. There are a lot of air cooled outboards out there. What's he got to say about that.... I also use it in my weedeater and chainsaw.... So far so good.....
  4. Could a couple of shift pins have fallen out when the bike was on it's side??? Just wondering.....
  5. Remove the 3 piece windshield trim, and windshield. You can get to the phillips head screws holding the dash cover on thru the front turn signals. That should give you enough room to mess around with the back of the speedo... However if you need to replace the speedo cable undo it down at the axle and the cable will slide right out.
  6. What....
  7. Catch up with who??? Wrong black bird.... :rotf::rotf:
  8. Happy Birthday Old Timer..... LOL... http://www.cast-aways.com/images/OldCodger.jpg
  9. Good for you... and keep it above 40....
  10. It looks like a drain hose?? Part number is 90445-05278-00 and it's just listed as a 'hose'
  11. Mine pop on deceleration too. I haven't sync'd them yet, but when I do and it doesn't help the smog is going to be plugged or taken out completely. There's a nice write up in the tech section on how to do it.... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=485
  12. Here's the Shindengen web listing for what looks like their rectifier.... Maybe someone can do a little more research about them. http://www.shindengen.co.jp/product_e/electro/reg.html
  13. I ain't buying no tickets....... http://www.cast-aways.com/images/hear%20no%20evil.jpg
  14. Not really talking about leaving the bike because help was needed to get it back on it's feet, but having it go down when off center at a lesser angle than a bike without a single wheel trailer. Mention was made about the center of gravity being higher somewhere in a previous post?? While pulling my two wheel I can't feel any difference in handling at parking lot speeds or at 70 plus. I forget it's there. I did gently drop my 2ndGen in a gas station with the trailer loaded to max, and it didn't effect the 'stand it back up' proccess one bit. So from what I can gather, A single wheel trailer is different and does look very cool , and you can get it into a motel room at night , but when full effects low speed manuverability, and may make getting it back up a little more difficult unless unhitching the trailer ..... IMVHO....
  15. In Bobs last post he doesn't get close to saying anything like you discribed.... Unless it's from an even earlier post. In that case you might want to use the 'quote' feature to avoid any confusion.....
  16. I'm with you Bob. Linked 2Gens brakes might have solved the rear brake lock up. But... I ride both style braking systems, and really can't complain, or get too cerebral about why one is better than the other. They both stop their bikes very well. I did take care of the inheirant weak front brakes on the '83 but never delinked. Never felt it was needed. I also don't feel it's neccesary to have brakes that will stop a run-away locomotive. Brakes can be over-kill... My
  17. I think the big problem will be the range of any trail camera. They're usually set to work within 20 feet or so, and I doubt the perp is going to be that close?? I'd go with a survelance multi camera type and recorder. I recently saw a 3 camera for sale on WOOT for $199 bucks. I don't know what trail cameras go for but that's about half of the systems I've seen at SAM's Club.
  18. I have a 'devils advocate' question.... Everyone seems to be concerned about the hitch weight, and it is a valid question, but what about added off center weight?? When leaning the bike...and trailer since it is a one wheel.... does it significantly increase the effort needed to take the bike and trailer off a side stand when fully loaded, or when in a 'oh krap' mode when accidentally getting way off center when stopped just before gently laying it down horizontally.... I think we've all been there at least once.... Also what type of effort would it take to pick the bike and trailer back up on their feet?? Has anyone ever had this happen???
  19. Pigs fly..... Squirrels find acorns.....
  20. Lizbeth I'm comin'..... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/sanfordandson/Sanford01.jpg
  21. I think the ticket hear is the man what's LOUD. RK's don't meet this requirement. I'd suggest a set of Nasty Boys, or Sampson's.... Now that's loud.... Actually an older set of Bubbs with the battening blown out aren't too shabby either....
  22. Rick, What's your battery showing for charge volts. If your stator isn't putting out enough to charge the battery, or the rectifyer is fubar.... and the battery's CC's are low it will cause the motor to die when the RPMs drop. Longer start times will also be becasue of this. Even a weak battery will will cause problems. I'm in the electrical camp....
  23. On my '89 TransAM 5.7TPI it turned out to be the fuel pump. It acted just like a clogged fuel filter. It was a PITA getting to it as the tank had to be dropped. Mine died about 40 miles outside of Las Vegas in the middle of no-where. Believe me you don't want that to happen.
  24. Got #4... Decided not to put the Pacific Island in escrow.....
  25. That's Mister Bird Breath to you... Good luck... youse gonna need it....
