    That'll work for me Dan. And then there was 1..... I'm not going to put in another order until next spring, so this will be it for a while.... Nice pics Gary.

    Those of us that are broke... have to make time. The reason you didn't get it to come up was you added 'unit' to your search. Sometimes less is more.... http://www.clipartguide.com/_named_clipart_images/0511-0811-0316-4941_Cartoon_of_a_Man_With_Empty_Pockets_clipart_image.jpg

    Can't believe you couldn't find this one.... VENTURE HEADLIGHT

    I have both bikes insured through Geico, and while sitting here daydreaming.. when I do some of my best work.. .. I got to thinking about whether or not my new trailer was covered under my current policies like they are on an auto policy. So I called Geico. I found that it wasn't...per se'. At least not the value. So to prevent a wrestling match in the future I added the VIN #, and Value to the policies... There wasn't a change in the premium, but now if it's damaged or stolen it's covered. While on the subject, another insurance area that we've talked about in the past, but haven't seen anything lately, is uninsured AND underinsured coverage. Most MC policies have un-insured, but unless you ask for it, they don't have under-insured coverage. Get in an accident where you're not at fault, and the at fault drivers liability is the bare minium, your insurance company doesn't have to shell out a dime. In the state of California minium is 15/30. Hospital bills will wipe that out in a heart beat. So word to the wise. Check your coverage.

    The headlight lens on a MKII (86-93) is not easy to remove from the headlight body. Just buy the entire housing off Ebay....

    My gene pool originated in Canada 400 years ago. I did a geneology search about 10 years ago, and was surprised how many in the family tree were born in July and August.. That indicate anything???

    I just checked the parts manual figuring there's gotta be zerks on there somewhere. It doesn't show a thing. They added jerks to the 1stGen MKII, but it looks like Y took a step backwards and copied the MKI's that doesn't have them..... Unless I'm missing something the 2ndGens may need to have zerks added???

    That was amazing, and they weren't even Chinese....

    Nice scoot. Like the leather bag up on front, and the black fins. I shows the previous owner cared. Now it's time to make it 'yours'..... How many miles on the ODO??
  12. Condor
    There are linkage arms on the other end of the rod that goes thru the stator cover that will loosen up occassionally and cause all sorts of shifting problems. On the 2ndGen it looks like you can get to the linkage from underneath unlike the 1stGen's that have the collector in the way.

    Occasionaly antennas show up on Ebay, but generally go for high dollars. Some of the members use a FireStick replacement. If I ever need to replace mine I'll go that route. I think there's a couple of write ups in the tech section...

    Just to let those of you that have been patiently waiting, I received the braces yesterday afternoon, and they will be in the mail box before noon today. You all should receive them by this Friday, or Saturday at the latest... except Paul up in Ontario CA.. Give it 10 days Paul. There are still 3 of the 10 not spoken for, so if any one else is interested?? Go to the first post for the details. Many Thanks.... Condor..

    Is the scaling internal or external? If internal what does it look like inside the motor.... If it's just the fitting I'd clean it up and use what you have. If the corrosion/scaling is in the motor it might be time to descale it. I don't know if it exists, but maybe an aluminum friendly 'kit' from the auto parts dealer?? The '83's run on the hot side of the temp scale.

    My thoughts too.... Especially since the shifter doesn't stop when up-shifting...

    I leave mine on reserve. 35mpg. I start looking for a station at 150 miles. That's a couple of hours in the saddle, and about time to stretch the legs a bit.

    This whole project has been a real learning process. Here's a couple of sources for packing plus a nice write up on the how to's and why's.... After reading the how to I may root around to find better materials. I don't want to go thru this again for a long while..... http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/9/187/4059/ITEM/FMF-Four-Stroke-Premier-Multi-Layer-Silencer-Packing.aspx http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/9/187/4165/ITEM/Moose-Racing-Fiberglass-Muffler-Packing.aspx http://www.motorcycle.in.th/article.php/About-Exhaust-Muffler-Packing-Materials

    Ponch is building the bracket if you supply the 1stGen CT....

    Thanks for the video Andrew... Was that packing you used fiberglass?? I wonder what they use for auto glass paks??? I'm going to give the stuff from Cruiser Customizing a shot... However I'm not getting rid of the OEMs...

    The tips are off, and I found packing at Cruiser Customizing that looks like it'll work. The distence between the flanges is 17" and this stuff is 16" Close enough for government work. The tips are off. I'll let everyone know how it goes with Bub on Monday. I wonder what causes the chrome to flake off?? Expansion..contraction???
