    No problem for me... But then again I used to be able to palm a basketball.... It's kinda nice to have something that fits the big guy in the world of Mr. Average....

    I'll wait for you to field test it, and get back here.... if you can... with a report.... Not sure I understand what a half empty glass..or half full.. has to do with questioning the safety of a tank location.....

    When I got mine, I swear to all that's holy, it didn't have the restricter tube you cut up and put in the lines. I wrote Morgan and they sent me another, and I recieved it in about 3 days. Drop them an email, you might be surprised....

    Most just replace the front calipers. That's were 80% of your braking is coming from. The way to tell the correct style R1/R6, is if you're on Ebay and looking at pics, the years that work are bolted from the side while the newer styles are from the top and look like a brick.... Trying to keep the correct years in you head will drive you nutz. The best way to check for dragging calipers is to go for a ride around the block and use the front only. Then check the rear caliper for heat. It should still be cool. If the pads are dragging they get fairly hot.

    Don't see too many bikes getting t-boned. Most are rear ended, or they are the t-boner... I'd hate to be rear ended and trust that that tank on the luggage rack is going to stay together.... But that's just me, the eternal pessimist....

    Try that on a 1stGen.....

    You have to shoot them with hi-temp clear, or in about a year they'll start loosing their shine.... But..... even if they do dull up, it's very easy to bring the finish back with a good metal polish.

    Scotty, I just picked up an extra 2003 final and I planned on sending it and a V-Max rear end off to have the gears swapped out. It's still in transit so I won't know what kind of shape it'll be in until I get it. I was mainly interested in the housing. Anyway maybe we can work out a trade. I wouldn't need to hve the work done and you'd be back to the OEM pumpkin... Let me know what you think?? -Jack

    It would scare the crap outta me with a fuel tank hanging out in the breeze that way. I'd be even more paranoid about getting hit....

    This thread is going to go political quicker than a rumor in DC....

    As much as we're tempted, we wouldn't dare rig the trailer drawing. But I bet it would be nice if you bought them a complementary ticket or two in their name to cut their odds down a bit....

    Messy critter ain't ya.... Anyone who want's to win that GPS will need to be pre-registered, and at the group dinner Wednesday evening... Ain't no way we're gonna keep track of the general raffle tickets... Vic is already threatening to go on strike.... So be nice.... On the other hand you don't need to be present to win the trailer. But just to let everyone know that when my number is drawn there will be a trailer for sale immediatly afterwards.... Now excepting offers.... Attached are a couple of pics of the new 2011 model. Check ,m out...

    I wonder just how long the chomed wheels will last before starting to flake?? I've never dealt with wheels, but have been dealing with billet bling that was flaking. I had them stripped and polished. Looks just like chrome, but if you want black your SOL.... It seems like chromed aluminum looks great when it's first done, but for some reason seperation and flaking are common. Attached are a couple of pics of polished aluminum. I didn't do this,,, it was commercially done.

    Just curious... Will Sea Foam cause any problems after a tank's been relined??

    I've bought several refurbished cameras and GPS's off WOOT and they have all been great, and in like new condition. I've also picked up some nice Invicta Watches for a song. One of the nice things about WOOT is the shipping. $5 bucks and it doesn't make any difference if the item is a set of ear plugs or a set of box springs and matress... I've always been pleased with what I've gotten. BTW the NUVI is a 2010 model, and at what looks like a great price.... That's another thing, I have priced checked a few of their items, and they are always the cheapest... :cody

    $10 bucks a gallon wouldn't stop me. What would stop me is no gas available. Just think how much less traffic we'd have to deal with if it were $10 per. However it will never get that high. The ramifications of something like that happening would be catastrophic. But, I did buy two Diamond Backs last week....

    That really looks interesting. Might be worth testing it on a small junker piece of chromed plastic to see how many 24hr. dip-rinse cycles it takes.

    On a '90 it's a plug and play with the R1/R6 calipers. They can be picked up off Ebay for $40-$50 bucks in nice condition. That set I mounted on my '83 I think I picked up for $25 plus shipping ran it up to $40. The last set I picked up came with stainless lines. On the MKII's ('86-'93) it's a simple straight acrossed swap out. The MKI's ('83-'85) are a little more involved.

    The covers are a Star Accessory that has been discontinued. A lot of the accessories are going that way... I'm not sure, but I think a lot of that stuff was designed and made by Yamaha USA. Another sign that the RSV will be sailing off into the sunset.... I have seen them listed on Ebay but they are rare.

    My '98 Suburban has a 40 gallon tank.....

    Do the same ride in a car and tell me about the cost. I think that if gas goes higher just the reverse is going to happen, and we're gonna ride more..not less. Wallet pain doesn't get in the picture. Even at a lot more per gallon. Not unless we wanna sit on the porch and not go anywhere..... In '07 I rode to Ft Collins and the round trip fuel cost was around $150 bucks, and the price per gallon was just about the same as it is now.... maybe a little more?? In '09 I trailered the bike to Cody, and even though the price of fuel was a less, it still ran around $500 bucks round trip in the truck. This year I'm riding to Cody.... :cody

    Because the 1stGen's are sooo fast we couldn't get a picture of one.... That's the price one pays for speed...... So have you got your registration in for Cody yet??
