    The stock springs do have a tight coil at one end and sometimes they are mistaken for Progressives, but the big difference is the size of the coils. Much heavier in the Pro's... Gimme a shout when you want to get a brace...

    Mine doesn't do that... I wonder why???

    And if you need one we have fork braces available...

    Sounds like you've pulled out the helicoil you put in the last time.... It might not have fit perfectly in the threads you taped. You could drill out the hole a bit and install another. Even in SAE. Maybe 1/4x20?? Another thought... You might try using J-B weld around the original 6mm screw. If the inside walls of the hole are rough it may allow enough bite to snug down on the screw a bit after it sets?? Most of these 6mm hex caps say 10ftlbs of torque... which is about a little over hand snug.

    That's a heck of a price on Amazon, but..... will it interface with a 2ndGen audio system somehow, or just GPS's and Cell's?? And how thick are those speakers??

    Made a wrong turn out of Victorville Ca and ended up on Rt66 for about 50 miles up toward Mojave. They still had the 66 chevron painted on the road every 10 miles or so. Kinda cool!! Always thought about doing the whole things someday, but those days are slipping away for me.... Very glad I made that wrong turn..... http://califrt66museum.org/ http://www.google.com/url?source=imglanding&ct=img&q=http://route66.backroadsplanet.com/images/route66map8.gif&sa=X&ei=3JpbTuOeKILmiALHp6GdCQ&ved=0CAUQ8wc&usg=AFQjCNFHOmGMABul0OIuRR_3AzghOZWMGw

    With my clod hoppers the heel was always getting stepped on. I installed one of the Venture Lines toe/toe and now I have room to move my feet all over the place on a long ride. I can ride with my toes on the back of the floor board all the way up to putting the heel on the front of the board and my toe on the highway pegs. It sure makes it more comfortable when spending hours in the saddle. BTW nice job on the mod...

    I'm curious. Since you know about Pledge why are you looking for something else?? I've cleaned a lot of bugs, off a lot of difference windshields with Pledge, and have never gotten any type of 'halo' effect...just as long as a micro fiber towel is used to clean it off. Are you saying that after using pledge you get a 'halo'??

    Ahhhh! I see it now.... Those trailers are really similar....

    OK here's the deal. I went thru this with my '83. Start using the rear brake and after a bit the brake locks up tighter than a frogs a$$. What will get you going short term is crack the bleeder valve and let out some fluid. That should get you back to the barn. If they lock up agian...repeat. Now for the permanent fix. On the side of the rear master there's a plastic elbow held in by a phillips head screw. Remove the elbow. It has an 'o' ring, so wiggle it around a bit and it'll come out. Inside the master there are 2 holes. One you can see thru and one looks like someone started to drill a hole and then stopped. At the bottom of the hole is a very tiny hole that can be overlooked if you don't know it's there. It's plugged, and it's not allowing hot expanded fluid to return up into the reserve. Take a wire tie and strip off the paper..plastic and you should be able to poke it thru the hole and clean it out. Once you feel it's clear bleed the 'h' out of the rear brake, and don't forget to do the same for the left front as they are linked. Do this and you should be good to go and still have a few bucks in your pocket...

    Thanks for the pics. Looks like more fun than riding over tar snakes....

    I picked up two Harley look alike pumps off Ebay. 1 zero-30, and 1 zero to 60. The 30 I use on the forks because it's more accurate at low pressures, and the 60 for bulking up the rear shock.... Both were in the $25.00 range with shipping. Works for me....

    The E3's a good tire, but it's not a cure all. They will get squirelly on tar snakes. Maybe not as much as a lesser performing tire, but it'll happen. I run E3's and like them a lot, but when we were riding the Chief Joseph out of Cody there were a few occassions when going thru the switch backs and riding thru a snake pit or two that pucker power set in... Sliding sideways 6" while carving a hairpin ain't fun. So it can happen. Just be careful.... And you're welcome....
