  1. That's just getting broke in....
  2. Geeze.... How many miles on the '07 that you felt it needed to be replaced with something new?? Nice looking Wing, kinda reminds me of a 1stGen.... :cody
  3. Thanks for the hints Annie. And here's the link to pics etc. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=57521
  4. There's a recent thread about a gal that does custom leather work. Really nice looking work. I've tried to find the thread. No luck. Maybe someone else can supply you with a link...
  5. Interesting, but I'm not sure I'd use them. I run my Kuryakyn highways off the vertical brace on the guard with an offset mount. It actually gets the peg even farther forward, and if I go down it's a lot easier replacing the guard... if it can't be bent back out... then possibily ripping up the frame. :cody
  6. It seems like every 1stGen has a personality and for every one there's a different choke starting procedure. On my '83 the only way it'd fire is to go full choke and then reduce it until it fires. Then it's warp speed back up to full choke or it'll die. My '91 is full choke and it fires almost emediately and the choke needs to be reduced as it over revs in a heart beat. My '87 is a normal full choke with a gradual rise in rmpm. Some of the guys on the board never even need to use the choke. So rather than try to chase ghosts, and it runs great, I'd get to know it and ride....
  7. Wellllll?? OK, you win... But.... it had a pretty good lean before the Progressives. The Progressives gave it a scary lean...
  8. Yep, When I put the '83 on the side stand it'd lean over so far it scared the 'H' out of me. I'd have to double check to make sure it was actually down.... You could definately spot it in a group....
  9. This is the first time I've heard where those suggestions didn't work to develope an acceptable lean. I still don't think it's the side stand. Could a previous owner installed a lowering kit?? How much travel do you have in the front forks?? How hard is it to get the bike on the center stand. A lowered bike is next to impossible. I have a '91 that has a slow leak in the rear tire. When it's enflated to max side wall it's no problem getting it on the CS, but if it looses 10-15psi from sitting it's next to impossible. And before we go there guys, I'm very aware of all the techniques to get a 1stGen on the CT.
  10. The dealer has his back against the wall, and is about ready to fold. He's screwing his customers to stay in business.... IMHO
  11. Cliff, If you're runing low pressures in you CLASS the bike will stand up straighter. Also if the tires you're running are low in pressure or undersized sidewalls it does the same thing. :cody
  12. Me thinks a lot of people have been watching too many SciFi doomsday films, and reading Chicken Little Rides Again....
  13. Take all the guages and adjust the restricters off one vacuum bib. Then you know that they're equal. Then sync them the same way you did when using the CarbTune, and you should be good to go.
  14. Can't pass a Dairy Queen.....
  15. That's BS. Check this one out up here in Sac. http://www.pcpmotorsports.com/
  16. Haven't got a clue. Let us know how it works out.... Maybe someone has already tried it??
  17. I bet there'd be a market for a set up like that.....
  18. There's a whole bunch of info in the International Rally Forum. And here's a link to the Cody Flyer. And yep, I'll be there. Maybe you could organize a group riding from SoCal. Otherwise you're always welcome to ride with us....

    Open your Eyes

    Any organizations handing out bumper stickers?? I'd put one on the back of all my vehicles.... trailers included.... MOF red reflective surface would be nice.... :cody
  20. Check the Co-ax lead to see if it goes to the CB under the trunk. If it does than it's OK. It really doesn't make any difference which side the antenna is mounted as long as it's connected properly. Lefty..Righty.. Inny...Outty... :cody
  21. And... you have to turn the ignition switch off and then back to acc before it'll work again..... Now if you have it in the ACC and it still doesn't work there's plenty of info already posted on how to resolder the pcb connections.
  22. Paint the chrome cover. Use Krylon Semi-Flat Black. It'll look just like the OEM but last a lot longer.....
  23. Try looking at auctions only.
  24. I picked up one of those off Ebay and velcro'd it to the dash of the '83. Didn't really do all that well, but it was better than nothing.....
