    It's an inside joke. You need to read the board posts a little more. Where's your sense of discovery... I've only had one account that dates back just as far. Sense you know the drill it's time to go find some cheap Kuryakyn highway pegs.... on Ebay...

    How many members pulling one of the Piggy Backers, or any other brand that takes an 8" 5-bolt wheel would be interested in buying a set of machined aluminum wheels for their trailer? Also, in your opinion, what kind of a market do you think might be out there? I've checked everywhere and I can not find a manufacturer that makes them. Worldwide... I did find a company on the web in China that might be interested in making them, but rather than even talking to them about it I thought I'd see what others might think. Just because I'd like to find a set doesn't neccessarly mean there would be a big market... Whatcha think??

    Yep, we all have that problem except Boomer... he's got pigmy infestation.... On the Kurykyn i have to agree with you. Pricy from a dealer... But... all is not lost. I've picked up every bit of mine off Ebay. Some of the Ebay stuff is a little on the high side, but on the clean used items you can save a bunch...

    Not your fault the pics did show up... They did for me this morning tho-??... I teetering on picking up a set. I can always go back if I don't like them, and they aren't that expensive....

    I can't shift without using the clutch. After fifty years of riding it just doesn't seem right not to. It's tatoo'd on my brain's frontal lobe... That said I can still snap through the gears with the best of 'm....

    Went to your link and all I get are red X's for the pics. If I do a sort for '1100 CHROME LENSES' I get three hits and the small gallery pic is there, but as soon as I hit the link to view the auction I get the red's again. Anyway..... how do these show up in the daytime. I would think that in direct sunlight they're glare a bunch... Are they legal??

    My Dilemma

    Condor replied to Sheradan's topic in Watering Hole

    I know of this little parts salvage place down in Sacramento if you want to donate the '86....

    I liked that. To bad they didn't do a fly by with the engines horizontal...

    Go to Rivco for the adapter. http://www.rivcoproducts.com/~rivcopro/products/product.php?productid=93&cat=431&page=1 Go to Kuryakyn for the highway pegs. http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go/Home.Products/catID/18/scID/53 The exhaust collector may not be do-able, but if you succeed let us know. BTW you engine guards are 1" not 7/8ths....

    Yeah, I've been using it for years. You get 3 free posts a week and that seems to be about all I need most of the time. Sometimes I don't bid for weeks, but sometimes I wish there were more than the 3.... The count refreshes every Sunday night, and I've found that once a snipe is cue'd it will carry over into the next week, and you'll get another 3 on the refresh. So there is a possibility of having 6 active... Back in the old days I used to sit at the computor timing the end with a sweep second hand on the wall clock, but those days are long gone. Don't think my heart can take it any longer... I bought my F250 4x4 off Ebay while having breakfast up at the Waffle Barn....

    Actually it probably would. I think it's nothing more than acetone....

    I use one of these cargo nets on the scoot and have been asked where I found it. I couldn't give an answer as it came along for the ride on one of the bikes. Well here it is. If anyone is interested. http://www.harborfreight.com/motorcycle-cargo-net-67010.html http://www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/370x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_1985.jpg

    Power connections would be the first place I'd look....

    I use that stuff too. I usually place some tape over the paint side of the crack to keep it from messing the paint up. For fractures there's nothing better...

    That's where you and I will differ Don. IMO snipping does effect the final price. True you can be out bid before your snipe is made, and in that case your pre-outbid. But taking that same snipe amount, and placing it directly on the auction will cause other bidders to nibble away at your bid until they outbid you, and that does effect the selling price. It increases the bid where another bidder wouldn't be so inclined to go if they were already the high bidder at a lesser amount. Sniping can also be used in two different ways. The first is a low snipe bid on something you find interesting, but do not need, and if you can buy for cheap...great, if not..oh well... The other is a high snipe bid on something you want or need, no matter what. That's where you can save money. If you had made that 'no matter what' bid directly on Ebay, even if you didn't get outbid, the other bidders would have bumped you up higher than it would have been with a last second bid.... Heck, it's all a game anyway....

    Yep, saw my first Harrier in the late 70's at the air show at Fallon Naval Air Station in Nevada. Blew my mind. Burned up two rolls of slide film on it.

    Man, What a blood thirsty group... I did take a few pics, but when I looked at them, some old guy I didn't know was looking back at me....
  21. Condor
    I agree with Don, but if you're really worried about the price something will sell, try sniping it. Some folks look down on sniping, but it is one way to get rid of the 'nibbler bidders'. You enter what you think it's worth... to you, and take your best shot. If someone's willing to bid higher then it wasn't worth that much to you anyway, and live with it. Wait awhile there'll be another. I use http://www.auctionstealer.com/home.cfm and don't even have to be around when the auction closes....

    Boy... this morning I hurt all over... Think I'll take a couple of more days off....

    Went out to install a center stand on the '99 this morning. I'd been making headway when I decided to get back up from laying on the floor wrenchin' to get another tool. Instead of grabbing the work stool for support, I figured I could stand on my own.. Nope!! Ended up flat on my face and blood all over the place. Wife came out and thought I was dead... I may have been out for a few secs... I donno?? But I finaly said something and she said 'Oh Damn!'. Now I'm not sure if it was because she was greatfull I was alive... or disppointed?? Anyway 2 skinned up knees, and one big time skinned up forehead. I quit for the day...

    That's neat... I wonder if there's a US company making something similar??

    I picked up a pair of EMT lace-up ankle-top boots off Ebay with the zipper side. Tie 'm once and that's it. From then on it's a zip up affair... Very comfortable.
