    OK, been reading all the comments and have decided to go with the Iridiums for the '99. Why?? Even though there may not be any perceived performance boost, the longer life is appealing as it's a PITA pulling the tank to change plugs on an RSV. The fewer times I have to do it the better. Also if they do last longer they will continue to offer good ignition long after a set of standard plugs start to fade. I just ordered a set of 4 off the web for $6 bucks per. It may not be the best price, but I figured it was close... BTW I'm running K&N's and Bubbs with no change in the jetting. The tips of the Bubbs are a nice deep chocolate brown. Seems like the jetting is good.

    A large screw driver will work just as well.....

    So Mama asks me to go up to the store and pick up a couple of things she needs. I didn't want to get out of the recliner, but she also mentioned Ice Cream. I moved.... On the way to the store I get behind a neat little Honda Trail 90. Mint condition. We both stop at the signal light on the main drag and wait. We get a green light and arrow. The Honda goes across the blvd, I make a left. The Honda gets to the other side of the 4 lanes and I'm about 20 feet behind him making the left and right between us a late model Toyota type flys thru the intersection doing about 40mph. Scared the living cr@p out of me. Missed the front end of the Suburban by 2 feet. If I had been in a hurry I'd have been laying next to Ponch. Not really sure I would have made it, and if the driver had hit the Honda he'd have killed him.... Whew!! Ice Cream tasted extra special tonight....

    I replace the slaves with new rather than rebuild.... It's a PITA getting the slave out... It may be easier on a 2ndGen??....and I didn't want to chance a rebuild and have to do it again. Beside the cost of a new slave isn't all that much in the scheme of things...

    I did go to their site, and I'd need more reassurance that these will actually fit a 1stGen than a response from a site search engine... I recently bought a RAM mount for my Garmin GPS using their site search engine. Spent $40 bucks on it and it didn't work. So sometimes these sites take liberties and stretch the facts just a little. I suspect the mufflers are more a generic fit, and are not a plug and play....

    I bled the clutch and brakes on the '99 before leaving for Cody. The brakes looked like they'd been bled before, but when I removed the reserve cover on the clutch it looked like black ink in there, Zero visibility... I don't think they'd ever been bled, and it had received regular dealer service all it's life. I think the reason they are so neglicted on 2ndGens is to get to the bleeder valve you have to remove the fin cover. So rather than go thru the trouble, the dealer... or owner..., puts if off til next time... Another contributing factor is on the RSV's you can't see the discoloration in the sight glass very easily because it's hidden behind the audio controls. Outta sight outta mind... My

    Wow!!! Heck of a price. Although I quickly looked it over I didn't find any reference that they would fit the 1stGen.

    On the left side of the engine toward the rear there's a square rubber cover. Lift it and underneath is the slave bleeder valve. Check to see if it's tightened down snugly. You may also be able to peek in the opening to check for other leaks.

    For a lite weight take a look at ALUMA TRAILERS in a 6x10V if you want new. Once in a great while you can find one used.... Most of the other wood framed trailers in that size, if they're lite weight are pretty flimsy, or if they're well built are heavy, and like pulling a brick.... MY

    Missed the turn off for Hwy 49 and ended up running that stretch of 20. Nice road....

    So I'm sitting here listening to the evening traffic report for the Sacramento area, and so far there's been 4 MC related accidents, one a rider and passenger with ambulances, and half a dozen cage fender benders. It a damn war zone out there.... Really makes you think about when to stay in the barn... 4 is sorta unusual, but I can always plan on hearing about at least one in the AM, and one during the PM rush hour...

    I find that smaller sellers.. individules... will ship to Canada via USPS International flat rate. It's the larger sellers that run larger shipping depts that won't do it. Reason, there's no way to track the shipment other than UPS or Fedex, and the cost is a prohibitive. Another reason is they have a system set up, and are too lazy to change. I bet I've sent 30-40 fork braces north of the boarder to members via USPS Int flat without a hitch. The cost is over double to do it, but it doesn't take any more effort than a domestic shipment would. Everything is done online from printing the lable to paying for it. I chose to drop the item off at the PO, but I could schedule a pick up if I wanted to. I do on occasion ship very large oversized packages overseas to Spain, Italy, Germany etc. using UPS because of size restrictions with USPS. But if I can get away with it I'll use USPS everytime....

    Sometimes when I get a stuburn carb I'll hand cover the venturi and crank it a half dozen times. Usually creates enough vacuum to suck any obstruction out of the jet.... if that's the problem??

    Copy the address that appears at the top of your screen and then paste it in your post.

    Pull the carb bowl and un-jamb the float valve. There's probably has a ton of crud in bowl.

    Same thing on the 1stGen side. A few may have sold, but I think what's happening is when they receive their email notices to renew or mark sold, they are not getting nibbles... and have decided to keep it, and picked the sold option....

    I usually toss a new set of plugs in every year in the spring. They're cheap enough so it's not that big of a deal...

    '68 Camero cam will do nicely....

    The VR Chili Challenge is alive and well at the POKE.... Now all you have to do is match the number of pics taken at Cody so we all that can't be there can enjoy the happening vicariously.. Heck I'll even go out and pick up a rack of ribs at Sam's...

    I couldn't tell any difference in performance or gas milage between the Jason and not. But..... I liked the 'lope' produced by the Jason so kept it connected...

    I'm with the 'IN' crowd rather than the 'ON' crowd. But.... I bet a custom cold molded fiberglass removable box would look really cool on this one.....
