  1. Mom and Dad used to cook meals on the manafold of the Model A while traveling cross country when I was a kid.... I'm toying with the idea of trying a small Pot Roast on the way to Cody. Triple wrapped in aluminum foil should keep the juices contained. Now I have to figure out where to place it??
  2. Nice read. Kinda rare to see the RSV included in any comparison test due to it being around for so long. I think they refered to it as 'old school' somewhere in the article....
  3. Just doing bling. No time before the rally to do anything else 'cept fluids and sync.... Gotta look good ya know....EH? GEEZE, SAVE ME IT"S STARTING TO RUB OFF...
  4. Nah... Cuts down on the wind resistence.... Safety chrome?? Yes!!! Amen to that Brother!!.....
  5. Yep, if you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.... right there next to Black Owl... and me.. Ya can't beat braggin' rights....
  6. I can make a suggestion.... :cody
  7. Thanks for the post. The info is now in my FYI Folder...
  8. Good thing,,,,, :sign woo hoo:That's one stand up bid..
  9. Nice trailer.... Would look really cool in a matching color and behind the real thing.....
  10. Aw common Russ... It's going to be framed... It'll look great on the wall, and when you get old it'll bring back some great memories....
  11. Me thinks the Freebird is feelin' good tonight..
  12. Whoa!! Don, that's one heck of a bid for the last ticket only... I'm sitting here trying to think of something whimsical to say but I can't. I'm also trying to think how we can work this out?? Now if I take the three outright for $25 bucks, and leave the last one on the bidding table, I'm afraid no one would bid against you.... I think?? Then again maybe someone would?? OK, here's the deal. I'm going to take the 3 tickets outright for $25 bucks, leaving the final ticket on the auction block. Anyone with cajones big enough to up the anti, post your your bid here on this thread. Vic and I will make sure you get ticket #300....
  13. Yeesh!!! It's only the last four... and the last one comes along for the ride.... Sometimes ya gotta buy the whole enchilada just to get what you really want. Biddings still open.... to everyone... So far I'm in the drivers seat... Bidding closes Friday 7/1/2011 at 6PM in case anyone feels like sniping...
  14. Hey Russ,, My 'bid' is $30. Wanna up it?? The winner could be in there....
  15. Welcome to the site. It looks like you're going to need more than just the LH upper fairing. The sub-dash/speaker housing doesn't look in too gooda shape either. Don't toss that chrome vent when you do find one off an '86.
  16. Trailer Ticket Auction.... I'll give ya $30 bucks for the last 4 tickets.....
  17. I guess I'm not that old after all. My favorite fast food place was McDonalds. 15¢ burgers and 10¢ fries....
  18. OK so you've been around a while. And to answer your question, the manual does not explain how to tell when the tank is full. I guess you can empty the tank and then put 5.3 USgallons in it (manual)...stop pumping... and that's where it should be when it's full.... unless it's very hot or very cold, and that a whole 'nother subject. Since you are already sitting upright, just fill it up to the bottom of the neck and be done with it. BTW 33mpg with the Voyager Kit and two up ain't all that bad.
  19. I just stuff the nozzel in the neck, and when it clicks off I quit pumping. Next time do it again and divide the miles traveled by the gallons. Should give you a good idea of the MPG. Close enough anyway. If your heading out on a trip and want to make sure it's up to max full, top it off on the center stand and ride. On the '83 I'd usually start looking for a station around 150-165 miles. At 150 it'd take 3.0 to 3.2 gallons in the twisties, and 3.8 to 3.9 out on the slab.
  20. MKI clutch assembly should replace the RSV or MKII clutch assembly. Like I stated above we discussed it, but haven't tried it. But unless there's some drastic redesign of the clutch in the RSV's... the same bike that still comes with a tape deck... it should work..... The only way to find out for sure is give it a shot....
  21. This is just a guess but maybe an inline resistor is needed to make up for the difference in electrical draw?? There's several tech articles on how to solder the CMU if the red light was a problem before you did the mod.
  22. The MKI pressure plate will not fit the MKII basket. Barnett makes a conversion plate that will.... I looked into doing this and talked it over with Rick at Buckeye about it way back when. If you use the MKI basket there's no need to go to the Barnett to get the 6 spring plate. So anyone who's thinking about doing this, and buying one off Ebay, make sure it's a MKI clutch.
