    Mag 8" wheels

    Condor replied to Condor's topic in Trailer Talk

    Dang!!! So close..... I have 5 lug 8" and all those are 4 lug...

    Anyone have a suggestion of where to find either aluminum or mag 8" trailer wheels? I would think they'd be available all over the place, but not coming up with anything on the web.... I'd like to replace the steel wheels on the trailer with something that looks better...

    Black is fuel, white is oil. You're probably runing on the rich side like you're supposed to when first starting with the choke on. The choke is a fuel inricher. I wouldn't be too concerned, as long as there isn't a big soot build up on the muffler tips. The choke is doing what it's designed to do.....

    Woody, You can post it in the Classifieds under 'first generation parts' Take a few pics and click on place an ad over on the right hand side.

    Wally World used to sell the Fram 6002 for about $6 bucks, and it came with a new 'O' ring...

    You can add aftermarkets to the clutch and brake reserves. I know what you mean about the coverage, but after a while you get used to it. Another possible solution is stick-on small spot mirrors

    I know there are a lot of pro's and con's about the longivity of the Avon's, but they will not cup when run at max cold pressure. Cupping is caused by runing the twisties with soft tires, and has nothing to do with suspension problems. Avon sidewall checking is another issue, but unless the tire is run soft cupping will not occur. I ran 50psi in the front tire of the '83 and when I sold it with 8000 miles on it, it looked like new, and I put some major twists on it. 2ndGens require less pressure at 40psi. Run them at any less and you'll eat them up. Cupping will happen with any tire that's run under inflated. Even an EII or E3. So if you're playing with pressures to get a better ride, don't. Keep 'm at max.

    Check to make sure they don't have a catalytic converter....

    If you're talking about the plastic diaphragm slides, I'm affraid you're at the mercy of Y. For just diaphragms they can be purchased from Sirus in Canada for about $70 bucks a set. Another possibility is picking up a set of carbs off Ebay for a 1stGen MKI and using the Diaphragm assemblies. Cracking is not normal.

    I donno....?? Haven't had a chance to find out yet. Was thinking about going LED if they weren't already.

    You're right the EII's wear like iron, but they are like 'mud'n'snows'. The E3's are closer to the Avon as a performance tire. Some members are reporting good milage. I don't carer how old ya are ya still gotta turn once in a while....

    Thanks Don. That will help..

    I posted this one a while back, and he still has it. Don't get much better than that. Time to go for a ride.... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52161

    Yeah, I was just hoping someone had written them down... like T-white to B-black, T-blue to B-yellow, Etc. I've wired up a ton of trailers to auto and trucks, so I guess I'm just lazy....
  17. Condor
    Are the bike colors the same, or do I need to 'stick'm'. Also where a good place to tie into the bikes wiring. Is there one loom that carries everything??
  18. Condor
    Yep, I have the same situation. Can anyone give a few hints on how to wire to the bike?? Color to color etc.?? The trailer came with both male and female plugs.... And can I asume that the bike is 5 wire, and I don't need a 5 to 4 converter?? Ooops!! I just checked and mine is a 6 wire square. It also has a black wire which I think?? is a hot wire for the courtesy light?? The rest of the colors mentiioned are right on. Where would someone tie into the system??

    Have you bled the clutch lately?

    While poking around on the web this morning I ran acrossed this Hotel in France. http://www.bikershotel.it/citta/Chalais/1/ Must be a distant 'Chalais' cousin.... I'll have to drop in and say Hi the next time I'm in town....

    When runing down the road the temp is very dependant on the air temp. It's not unusual for the guage to register in the mid-range at 50° ambient temperature and run close to the red in the high 90's to 100°+. while riding. At idle it -is- unusual to have the temp guage fluctuate up and down several times. I have seen this happen when a thermostat is installed backwards. It could also indicate a bad thermostat.

    'Broomhilda' has a glich in her programing. The graphics are right, but the vox direction is wrong.... and it's repeatable. Happens every time I approach one particular intersection... I just ignore her.
  23. Condor
    I have a set of rectangles on the '91, and they're switchable hi/lo. Look OK....
  24. Condor
    The trailer has about 20 miles on it. Other than that it's unused. It's in California, and I'm open to reasonable offers. Comes with spare tire and extra bearing kit.
  25. Condor
    Wow!!.... Pull a trailer and spend a lot of time in gas stations....
