    What happened to the $199 flat rate shipping in the US the seller is quoting in the auction?? Last time I checked Kalispell is in the US.....

    Can you imagine taking that tank off when it's full??? Then again, all you need to do is run it down the road 5 miles and it'll be empty....

    On the CB for Alan's 1stGen. Since the bike is a standard with a bunch of room on the right side panel, pick up an aftermarket fixed mount off Ebay. Nothing fancy, just as long as it's a 40ch model with good audio. They come fairly small and should slide right under the grips. On Annie's 2Gen, I've seen those listed on Ebay too. I bet within the next 9 months one or two will appear, and as long as she has everything wired it's a plug and play. COBRA 19DXIV 40 Channel I also found these: CB RADIO FOR MOTORCYCLE

    Don't have skype Mike.... Sorry. Rockets right, I do have an extra motor...just because. But, there's also one on Ebay. 1300'87 Per the seller, it's a runner, and I can't guarantee that the one I have doesn't have issues?? Plus by the time I pencil in the cost of fuel burned to pick it up, I'm probably in it about what the Ebay one will go for with US shipping costs. The seller is quoting $199. So if you know anyone close to you on the US side it might be an option to have it shipped there, and then drive down to pick it up. No promisses, but my brother lives in Kalispell MT. I'd have to ask him if he'd be willing to accept the shipment. I just looked, and it's 421 klicks and a 5+ hr drive, but it might be better than paying to import it??? Keep me posted on the haps....

    :sign20:Geeze... The first three stages, and they ain't outta North Carolina yet, and the mortality rate is climbing.. Hope someone makes it to Santa Monica in 2 weeks..... Can you imagine being caught behind those bikes and chase vehicles going over the Rockies, or in L.A. traffic.... Almost as bad as following a 2ndGen//// :rotfl:

    Check the torque on your axle. It might be loose from the tire change. I think it might be 50ftlbs...

    The used? one I picked up off Terry was built the same way. I suspect it might be a VentureDad. I figured I'd rather have it light to save weight, and since I'm not going to be pulling tree stumps with it??.... I did have a solid bar stock stinger that I tried to fit in there but it wouldn't go.... and the thing weighed more than the entire hitch... It's back on the shelf..

    It's a love-hate relationship. When it's running right there ain't nothing better, but when it gets a glitch somewhere it's an SOB..... Sounds like you still have jets plugged up, or?? you're not getting enough fuel to the carbs. Enough to idle, but not enough to supply the main jets... What is getting there may be clean, but not enough. From your original post you had a second set that ran great for 50 miles and then went south. You're sucking something into the bowls that's plugging the jets. I still think it's the fuel line breaking down....

    On the front bearings I used a bearing puller from Harbor Freight when I did the '83. Worked pretty good. The '99 is telegraphing a viabration to the grips and the front end is moaning so I'll probbly do that one fairly soon. On the back bearings, although I've never been there, it's my understanding that there's one bearing that can't be replaced generically, and is only available from Yamaha. That's 1stGen info, not sure about 2ndGens??

    That's nutzo.... What some folks won't do for a few minutes of fame... If I'd done that to the '83 I wouldn't have been able to start it for a month. Sez a lot about the Harley electrical system....

    Yep, get cramps all the time. Usually when getting back on the bike after stopping a bit. Sometimes they are an SOB to get out. It mostly happens when I've been off the bike a while. On long multi-day trips it's generally the first day, then nothing.... Pushing 70 and proud of it.... It's been a hell of a ride... Old age is a state of mind....

    It really doesn't matter what you're pulling or haulin'. Anytime the forks work, the more they do so in unison the better off you'll be. In '09 at CodyI I took the '83 over the top of BearTooth Pass. It was a goat trail up on top with all the construction going on. The bike was as solid as a rock. Never once did I experience the grips being hard to hold onto from unexpected twisting....

    Radio Shack has those tips. BTW the allen screw just holds the tip in. The way you tune is by clipping the end. I personally wouldn't worry about tuning it since you're not going to be shooting skip. It's really got to be out a bunch to not be able get out a couple of miles. Also the tip element is 18.5" long if that'll help.... Heck any piece of rod about that same diameter will work.

    Great design cad Jeff. Here are a couple of pics of a Bustec hitch that came off an '89. I keep it as a bargaining chip..... Maybe it'll give you a couple of more ideas....

    Any antenna from 86-93 will work on your '91.... If it's just the tiip you can get a replacement at Radio Shack or some truck stops....

    Yamaha's tighter than a frog's a$$ when it comes to offering any informatiion on anything.... Either they are very elitist, or they're running the entire business out of their hip pocket....

    Is this the final, or the tire and wheel?

    It's alongside the Venture on the Wing Ding Patch.....

    There's a knob on the reserve valve.. Never did have one on the '83's. Just left it on open, and never missed it...

    Great pics Norm. Folks who have never been there have no idea of how majestic and breath taking the views are.... They gotta see it in person to experience it. God did good....

    Like the original post states Dave, I just ordered another 10. Several members have already sent their bucks..which is really appreciated..., but there's some left if you decide you'd like one. These will probably be the last batch I'll order before spring.
