I guess I'm not the norm than.. I keep mine going as long as something major doesn't happen, or technology doesn't take a giant leap into the future. I don't spend woppin' bucks on a computor so you might say mine are fairly inexpensive.... and they last a lot longer that 3-5 years. MOF I bet if we took a poll on how old the computors are used on this board the majority would be over 5 years unless they are in the biz or gaming. I just don't have the kind of money to toss into a bigger, faster, speedier machine. So I'm going to keep putting band aids on the one I have until it has a major hemorage.... And I bet I'm not that unusual.. And pressurizing the case is a best way to go.....

I understand what you're saying, but I've seen some pretty dirty heat syncs on CPU's. As long as the intake filter is visable, plugging shouldn't be a problem. I guess it's a question of whether your glass half full or half empty. Personally I still think a pressurized case is a much better way to go. Monitoring and cleaning one visable external filter is a heck of a lot better... and easier.. than tearing into a case because you're not sure how clean the inside is.... What they are doing is selling vacumm cleaners... IMHO
-
Couldn't they just reverse the fan they use now and put say 5 cents worth of filter material over the intake. Just think how many dirty house calls they'd avoid....

Thanks, Oh fountain of trivia....

Yep remove the dust bunnies every so often. Which brings something to mind. Why don't these computor companies install a filtered cooling fan that blows into the CPU and pressurizes the case rather than one that sucks all the dirt and dust into it. Just keep an eye on the filter and change it out when it gets dirty. Seems to me anyway that it would eliminate all the dust problems.... Update on the problems. I just ordered a T-P Link WN822N. Hopefully it'll connect to the router with a better signal by placing the thing in the window. I just installed a new LinkSys E4200 router and I wonder if it's coverage may not be a good as the older unit.

I think that stuff has been around for a long time. I've seen small TV sets at State Fairs playing underwater after being sprayed down this... what ever it is. Haven't seen it for a while so they might be remarketing it...

This thread is getting more action than the chat room.....

Loved the whole video, but making that crank shaft was special..... Plus I thought slotted screws had been outlawed....

Just called J&M. It pays to go to the source... Their 'Dongle' along with their cable will convert our 2ndGen audio systems into wireless bluetooth. So the possibilities are endless. I'll be seriously looking at one once I know the helmet will fit my fat head.

DOH!!! -
OK, I guess it's like an interface cable but bluetooth?? I guess a call to J&M is in order...

I found this on another board with references. From what I can gather it ain't easy... CVOHARLEY.com has it all explained. The (2) methods used are a 1.6" core drill bit or cutting the collector in half, removing the CAT and re-welding collector. Cutting the collector seems to be the choice for complete removal of CAT. The 2010's have another issue as the O2 sensors are located right at the collector and with the CAT removed causing issues with cross-talk between sensors. All this info is on the CVOHARLEY.com website. And now that I re-read it, they're refering to collectors.... Don't know if that's 'Harley Talk' for mufflers or not....
-
Or a Dingle.... I sure the folks here will take 'Dongle' and run with it.... Still would like to know??

I think you may have the cart before the horse on this Ebay thing. Selling things off the bike before it closes probably won't set well with the buyer. Once Ebay closes, and it doesn't sell, is the time to start talking to the members interested in some of the parts. Just be aware that you will end up with a lot of left overs parting it out,,,, Good Luck.... -
SO... I just picked up this Nolan 103 helmet off Ebay, and now I'm looking at possible bluetooth head sets. Nolan makes one, as well as J&M... maybe others??. Both will interface with my GPS or phone. But... I'd like to find an adaptor that would plug into the Audio cord on a 2ndGen, and be able to link to a bluetooth headset eliminating the hardwire. Then I could RX and TX with the CB. Basically that's all I'd use it for as the GPS has an integrated MP3 player. Question... Is a J&M Dongle a bluetooth adapter??
-
If I remember correctly the later mufflers have a catalytic converter in them. I also think?? the 07 is the year of the bike the muffs came off of. I also think?? I read somewhere?? that the converter can be removed.... Me thinks I think too much....

1991 Mk2 VR front rotor
Condor replied to Mike Mercury's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I just did a search for R1 Rotors and R6 rotors. Several popped up. Here's one set of fronts off a 2001. ROTORS It's the later 2003? and ups that went to the new style calipers, and I'm not sure if the rotors off them would fit??... Squeeze sent me a list of what would work for the calipers, but I ended up just looking at the way they were mounted. I used a set of blue dot R6's on a set of 89 rotors and they worked fine. -
1991 Mk2 VR front rotor
Condor replied to Mike Mercury's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Earlier R1 and R6 calipers will fit the '91 MKII rotors. Any of the R calipers that are attached to the forks with horizontal bolts will work. On later R models the bolts are vertical.. FA 252 HH pads, and you're good to go. Should be a plug and play job. -
Ha!! I didn't own it, but I ran it... My first computor 'experience' was running a Buroughs 220 back in '62-'65 for Allstate Ins Co regional in Pasadena Ca. Everything was on r/w 1" tape drives with punch card input. 10K of memory. It was tubed and it sat in a 20'x30' room with a sub floor that allowed space for the A/C to keep things cool and stable, and I sat in it. Fixed address, bianary. Gawd those were the days....

wifes honda shadow 1100 problem...ideas please
Condor replied to painterman67's topic in General Tech Talk
I had pretty much the same problem with my RSV in Cody this summer. Turned out to be the rectifier. I knew I had problems before I left as I was getting 17vdc when the bike was running. I didn't have time to mess with it before leaving so tossed a new rectifier in the trailer and took off. Apparently I was running on battery power only. 17 volts..no amps. The battery died 80 miles from Cody. I'd run about 1200 miles and 2.5 days on battery power only. The DEKA was dead.. dead..dead... 8.9vdc on the meter. To make a long story short, replaced the rectifier and problem solved... -
Nothin' helps as much as lotsa amps to the starter, and coils...

HARD DRIVE??? What was that???

Yep, I've blown out a few cpu's over the years. Heat will really screw things up. I've been running Trend virus checker and firewall for 15 years. Ever since I final got a virus. They did a free scan and found not one but two of those buggers. Back then they gave me very good directions to manually get rid of them. Saved my A$$, and been with them ever since. Now days they will scan and clean without having to do a thing. I also run Advanced System Care to keep things debugged and tweeked. I was going to bid on an IMac G4 laptop this morning but the bidding got carried away, and I didn't know that much about the G4, so bailed on the bidding. The size would have been great to take on the scoot. I tried to do a little investigating online, but the prices were all over the place, and when I saw the memory at 128 meg and RAM at 128 I thought it probably was an earlier model?? Maybe not but like I said???.....
