    That's OK, $400 is about what everybody trys to get out of them, and I'm looking for something less than that. Maybe that's why he ignored me?? I actually may have talked to him in the past?? I did make someone an offer... If it was him the offer might not have been interesting enough. Another reason for not contacting me....

    So that's what he wanted for it... I tried to get a response out of him and never did. Finally forgot about it.....

    20 Large....?? Guess the price of paint has skyrocketed???

    Those vents show up on Ebay. Just ask questions and make sure the keeper tabs are still intact on the sides... Probably the reason yours decided to take off.... Same thing happened to me on my '83, and I caught it before it got away. Sometimes I even amaze myself.... It's now held in with 100mph tape...

    Drain the coolant by the plug on the bottom of the waterpump. The only thing you have to do is turn the 'drain' valve to the on position, and the coolant will by-pass the thermostat.

    When I bought my first ever '83VR it sounded like a bucket of bolts at idle. I thought it was normal. All I did was change out the oil and filter with Valvoline MC 20-50, and it quieted right down, and the only reason I did the oil change in the first place was I didn't have a clue what the PO had been using. Hard to believe that an oil change would make that much difference.

    And it comes with custom tuning knobs..... Ka-Bling!!

    I feel your pain. Road Rash is nothing to take lightly. Hurts like 'H'. Glad you're both relatively OK otherwise.

    I heard it was the 7th.....

    Tom, I think you have those side struts backwards. That ball plate should come out just about 3" under the fender... You've got it sitting way to low.... And those hangers are supposed to be flat stock not tubular. I may be wrong but I think you need to go back to the drawing board. It almost looks like the previous owner jury rigged a MKII Markland Hitch to fit a MKI???

    Thanks for the pics Tom. They give me some ideas, and also show what I need to do, and why I need to avoid the Z brackets.. I'm thinking of designing the brackets lower, and keep the trunk closer to the mount. Maximum rise would be 0.5"
  13. Condor
    That's interesting as all get out. I like the skirt to hide all the brackets. I'm wondering how it deals with the 4-hole cluster of the front mounts. If it's for sale, what would you need to get out of it??? First dibs!!

    TEXASKID moved there from California... definately an upgrade... about 2 years ago, and seems to be doing OK. Give him a shout.

    I wish there was a virus we could attach to our return email that would shut down the entire African Continent web infrastructure..... Hey, they do it in the movies.....

    Well with a post title like that, you asked for it.... 'Specialy on this board... Actually the numbering started at 100 here in the US, and we have a member who has that bike. As far as one imported into the UK it looks like you may have a different numbering system as all '83's in the US have 'D' as the year designation in the in Vin#. 'N' here in the US would tell us it's a 1992 model year.

    Dang those are all some high prices... I picked up a like new set of 4 off Ebay for $15 bucks... They're not rare....

    Dang that was a fun and intertaining video.....

    Do you ever think of pulling over, and letting them by?? I'd like to know who goes the legal speed limit any more. Like I said that kind of an attitude will get you tailgated....
  20. Condor
    Yep, and that'll get you tailgated.....
  21. Condor
    You're kinda running out of time, but you might take the battery hot side (red) off and let it sit over night. If it doesn't go down any, you have a dead short somewhere on your bike. If it does go down it's the battery.... Then get it documented with the dealer so that even if the warantee runs out while working on it you're still covered.... You might also make sure the dealer is going to be open sometime between now and the 3rd...
  22. Condor
    Interesting I don't find that to be the case. What I do find is a rider, who has the cruise set, refuse to very his speed come hell or highwater. Those are the riders that will get tailgaited.
  23. Condor
    I don't seem to ever have a tailgater problem. If I'm in the slow lane mooching along I'll merge to the left and speed up. If I'm in the fast lane boogying I'll pull into a slower lane. If I'm out in the booneys on a one lane road I'll pull into a turn out and let 'm by....

    There is, but this is a PG rated board.....
  25. Condor
    That looks so cool... I'd rather have a volt meter and temp with the tach, but I am bending..... Gonna make a 1stGen outta this '99 yet....
