    7x57. I am looking for a 264 mag. I have the ammo, but my custom 264 was stolen about 20 years ago. Actually, this one wasn't much more. I think they used to sell for around $199.00 and I got this one for $240+fees. Only 69... I had a not-birthday this year. I liked it so much I might have another one next year..... Boy I bit on this one big time...

    Pumping it up to max will sometimes lift the bike a couple of inches depending on how low the pressure is that you're running now.

    Nope.... That's the one that isn't worth a hoot. MOF RAM gives that one when using their MC search engine, and then if you read the discription below it says not recommended for MC usage. The problem is the thing has fins on the sides of the ball to make it 17mm and if you turn the GPS 45 degs off the 90 it won't hold a thing. And it won't go completely into the socket. I don't know what RAM was thinking of when they designed the thing....

    Try pumping up the CLASS to max and see if it still stands up straight. If it does your class is not doing it's job. On the other hand if it cures the problem then you need to shorten the sidestand a bit.

    OK, so what I'm hearing is the Zumo does not have a socket on the back to take a 17mm ball. I always thought the StreetPilot c550 and the Zumo 550 mounted the same. Now I see that the Z is bolted on. To be honest I like the ball mount much better. The ST c550 GPS has a very positive snap socket. I just emailed the ebay seller who sells the stainless RAM clamp to see if he might be able to make a 17mm to 1" ball adapter. He makes the clamps to go either way. All he would have to do is put a ball on each end of a 1" post. Thanks for all the feedback...

    I looked for something in there once... barely made it out alive...

    Got a question. What does the Zumo 550 use as a mount on the backside. The reason I ask is my look-a-like Streetpilot c550 snaps onto a 17mm ball, and I just got off the phone with RAM and they are telling me the Zumo mount bolts on?? And.... they don't have anything that will work with the STPilot. Even though when you go on their website for MC mounts,, and use their search engine, the mount they say to use on the MC says it's not recommended for MC use. I used to really like RAM mounts, but lately they are getting to be a joke....

    Back in my yoot I used to work part time in a discount membership store in the sporting goods dept. Kinda like White Front.. K-Mart.. Fedco.. etc. Anyway we used to sell firearms and one of the rifles we stocked was a Mannlicher Schonauer. I fell in love with that rifle. Just married, kid on the way, and working two jobs 80 hours a week to make ends meet, and I just couldn't afford one. Slow forward 50 years... In the last few years I'd run into one or two at auction, but they went for big bucks. Finally nailed one down last week. She's a beauty and I can't wait to get'r home.... It's in DOJ limbo for another 7 days. Next monday..

    Looks like the I-80 route'll be a tad closer and pretty direct. Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday afternoon. Have a safe trip and don't push it.

    Did you know that you have an emergency stop tilt switch that will kill the engine when the bike is layed down?? The kill switch belongs right next to the reserve and the tape deck....

    I went ahead and picked up a couple of thumb nuts from McMaster-Carr in stainless. They work very well.
  14. Condor
    So Gary, when are you going to start riding that thing???
  15. Condor
    I'm not sure why everybody is so worried about the reserve on a 1stGen?? Once it's set to reserve leave it there and ride. We have a fuel guage and trip odo. When it hits 150 miles start looking for a station. Unless your bike doesn't have any way of telling what's in the tank can I can then see the need for a reserve. I place a 1stGen reserve right up there along side the kill switch.

    Just made reservations for the ride to Cody. Lone Eagle and I are leaving Northern Calif via I-80 on Thursday the 21st and overnighting @ the Motel 6 in Elko Nv, and then @ the Rock Springs Wy Motel 6 Friday the 22nd. Cody on Saturday afternoon. We're leaving a day early because Vic thinks I'm gonna fall over if I ride more than 400 miles a day in heat..... So.... anyone coming that way you're welcome to join in. And hold me up..... :cody

    I see they also have an affordable neck model for us po folks. I've riden all day in 105+ using natural air.... my mesh jacket and sweat.... and stayed fairly comfortable, but that neck wrap is intriguing. I'll wait to get a feedback report in Cody...

    Thanks for the feedback. Every bit of info helps, and it looks like a trip to the dealer to try both the 103 and the C90 is in order.

    on the Nolans. Goose, I have the older N100E in xxl, and after buying, and trying on, a 1002 xxl lite off Ebay I almost died of brain squeeze. I called NolanUSA and they did say the newer models were not as roomy. The 1002 Lite was rediculous. How did you find the N103 as compared to your original 100E?? I'm a little gun shy about gettting one of the newer ones...... They also mentioned something about a newer model, a C90??

    Followed the link and it produced a pic. Here's one that will take you to all the info. Nice find.... http://kurveygirl.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=144

    Spot shows them hunkered in for the night at a motel in what looks like Clifton Forge off I-64

    The first few years the RSV trunks were plagued with cracking around the mounting screws on the inside. Y has two metal plates that fits in there to spread the stress out.
