  1. I max everything out.....
  2. Paypal sent. Thanks Larry....
  3. You don't ride a Venture to go by another bike. It's bad Karma/Juju, and bad things happen.... They got feelings ya know.... http://www.cast-aways.com/images/unlucky.jpg
  4. Actually the trunk is the same size but the bottom attachment points are totally different than the MKII. It's a real conundrum....
  5. The ring lists out at 12-13 bucks and was hoping someone had one off a rear ender?? But...Larry... I gotta ask. How much do you need for the lights??
  6. It's the end of August and usually we're sweating our a$$es off with a 100+ summer heat wave. Woke up this morning to temps in the 50's and rain clouds overhead. Weather man sez it's a cold front out of Alaska and it's going to rain... It's all that damn volcano's fault....
  7. Yamaha since early June. Getting tired of waiting around. Anyone have one of these laying around. It's the chrome ring off an RSV right rear turn signal.
  8. Good advice, but those brackets are rarer than chicken lips...
  9. Street value on your TD is $7000-$7500. Trade in is a tad less than $7000 and no dealer is going to give that. It's nice to point a finger at other listings for much more.... but they're sitting and not selling... In this economy if anyone pays any more than the trade in value they've been hiding under a rock for the last 2 years. Any dealer that does give you full blown trade in, you better believe that what he's selling is going to be full blown retail. It's all in the difference, and the lower the better to reduce the sales tax. My
  10. I guess this time it did....??
  11. Could use some bigger pics. I tried the magnifying glass but no luck....
  12. Hey those Bush Pilots are tuff. They gotta be to land in Alaska....
  13. The answer is all of it. If it's like a 1stGen it's on the bottom of the water pump and where you drain the system. I generally let the engine run with it open and a hose stuck in the fill adjusted to match the amount draining out. Flushes out all the old stuff.
  14. Nice presentation. The problem with all that is he has a '91 and the rack and mounting system are entirely different than that of the MKI's....
  15. :thumbsup2:
  16. I've been thinking about what would be needed to move the trunk back on my '91. The Corbin seat sticks back under the passenger back rest about 2", and the passenger seat is a very tight squeeze as it's only 6" from the driver backrest to the passenger backrest. The front brackets are a piece of cake,and made out of 1/2"x2.5"x4" aluminum flat stock. It's the rear mounts that present a problem in that the extension needs to stick up into the trunk 27.5mm so the fitting will not only need to be about 1/2"x3" long, but will also need spacers to mimic the existing studs. I've actually measured everything out, but been too lazy to mock up a set. By keeping the highth of the extension to 1/2" it will raise the trunk only slightly and not be so high like others I've seen ... Maybe this winter I'll make a prototype. Thinking of getting with the company that builds our Fork Braces to see what it might cost to make them in numbers..
  17. Dang I miss my Beckman 310... Either it got legs or it's hiding somewhere.....
  18. Actually you can fly down to Puerta Vallarta, get the root canal, lay on the beach for a couple of days, and fly back for a third of what it would cost you in the US. Maybe that's why they call them third world countries?? The dentists down there went to the same schools as those here in the US and the quality is excellent. I got wind of this via sailors who have spent a few years sailing in Mexico. On the root canals. I've had 4 or 5 roots. They don't last. Spent mucho bucks with my family dentist for 40 years, and had to have three molars pulled afterwards... at an extra cost of course... because they just don't last. Now he wants to put in Bridges for another $2500 per. I'm getting used to not having a full set of grinders. Cosmetically no one can see them so what the heck.... I am thinking about doing the PV dance tho... On another note, one my friends who lives in Muleje, came down with something serious. Spent 10 days in the Loreto hosipital, plus meds, doc, nursing care, and the total came to $75 bucks. That's about $750 pesos. I know there's some folks who wouldn't put a toe over the boarder, but if you're a little adventurous you can save a bunch of bucks....

    Noisy??

    Apparently they haven't heard a few of our members.....
  20. I had a local independant dealer try to explain how I could get 20 gallons in an 18 gallon tank that hadn't run out yet.... Ya gotta watch these guys. They will tweek the computor. A few years back they found a few dealers that reprogramed the computor to pour five exact gallons and then start short pouring the rest. What happen is the dept of weigths and measures would check the pump and find nothing wrong, but anyone taking on 5 gallons or more would get screwed. They were actually charging more than a national brand.

  22. Hope it all works out for you.... I'm still skeptical....
