    OK, I bought this mintish Silver Nolan 1002 X-Lite Flip to match my '99 off ebay from a local seller. It's marked size is an xxl, and I never tried it on when I picked it up. When I got back to the barn I gave it a try, and it ain't a xxl. I have two Nolan xxl's and this one isn't. I don't even think it's a XL.... probably more like a L. So here's the deal. I picked it up for $71.00, which is a great price. So, thought I'd give this a shot. Anyone here interested in it for $71 bucks plus shipping??... unless your close by, and can pick it up like I did... LMK

    No. The AIS valve doesn't effect the manafold vacuum.

    As more time is spent in the saddle the more I'm getting used to the HT. I guess I'll arrive when I don't think about it any longer. Just do it. I'm still searching for the pegs when I take off from a stop, and sometimes hit the heel shift with my toe. End up shifting up to second kinda quick. Vic (Lone Eagle) did some measuring of his Starline toe shifter for comparison. The length of the toe arm is almost the same, but the ball connector is 1" farther up the arm. I guess it makes the movement needed to shift shorter. Might be something to think about when cutting off the heel....

    When I did the '83, I kept the stock... smaller... OEM master, and there was still a big increase in the upgrade to the right front. I also didn't do a thing to the rear linked master or the rear caliper for the left front, and it worked just fine with better braking. With 14mm actually being smaller than the larger RSV 5/8ths master, why would you want to decrease the size when you have 4 more pistons to move with the R1's??

    Thanks for the advice Ruffy. I already have a set of R1's loaded with new HH pads. Picked them up off Ebay for next to nothing. R1 and R6 calipers are always on there. I think I'll leave the back alone as some already have a tendency to lock up when romped on. I haven't hit 'm hard yet, but you never know. Speed bleeders too....

    Hey, I caught that 'yet'. Be prepared.... Didn't take the bike. Should have, but didn't. The truck has A/C, and the conditions didn't meet my riding criteria. Temp 50-85... and dry..... I really enjoyed meeting Rick, and I could see him start to light up when we began talking about dark matter, speed of light, gamma and x-rays etc. He knew what he was talking about..... I knew enough to get into trouble.... I spent a week in Texas one day. If I ever get to Lubbock we'll have to test the ice cream....

    I'm about ready to mod my '99 with the R1's. Is it just a plug and play situation or is there a rotor issue? I did it on my 1stGen '83, and had to replace the rotors, so just double checking to see if the stock Gen2 rotors are compatable with the R1's??

    So far here in NorCal we've had one of the mildest summer I can remember. Sure we've had our spurt of 100+ deg days but for the most part they've been down in the 80's. Our AC bill is really gonna be low. So they'll probably try to raise the rates...

    YEP..... I guess I should add that I don't adjust the ride. Because I'm so petite I keep the presures at max and the rear dampner on 4.

    Plan on cool weather all the way down... I'd stop before going into SF....

    I just spray mine with Pledge and wipe it down.

    That's what I was planning to do until Rocket gave me the heads up. If it ever starts to come off give K&N a call....

    The K&N filter that came with the '91 when I first bought it had a very soggy oil soaked foam seal. The filter cleaned up well, but the seal was toast so I put the it on the shelf. While talking to Rocket I mentioned the bad seal and he told me that K&N would warantee it. Their filters do have a lifetime warantee. So I sent them an Email offering to buy one since I wasn't the original purchaser. They replied and sent me a new seal free of charge. They even picked up the shipping. They now have a lifetime customer...

    Holy Ratfeathers!! So much for relying on something else to take over good old common sense....

    I'd replace the tire. If it had been somewhere in the middle of the tread it might be different, but you're talking about a part of the tire that flexes a lot. I donno, but with my life on the line why take chances.... Confidence in my tires isn't something I need to think about with everything else going on around me.

    Buying a 1200GS and bumming around Alaska has always been a fantasy. The dream is still there, but the 1200GS has been replaced.....

    Hmmm, ketchup on ice cream... Nah just there to add some artzy fartzy color... I am kinda partial to peanut butter,miracle whip, lettuce, on sour dough bread though....

    One thing you might check is the load rating of those 12" tires. Even if the axle rating is 1500lbs it still does mean the tires will handle it. Plan on the weight of the RSV to be in the 900lb range. Plus the weight of the trailer and you might be right at the max GVW. I use a trailer very similar to the one in Monte's pics. 6x10. Bought it outright for $750 bucks. Use it more for dump runs than hauling a bike, but it multi-tasks very well....

    Got a PM from Rick that he was passing though the area on Friday night. So what better place to take him for dinner... Leatherbee's Ice Cream....

    That's about where I'm at with the '99. I just ran the first4me tank through it and averaged 29mpg. 90% freeway. I haven't done anything to it yet, but plan on syncing it shortly as it has a pretty good buzz going on in the grips which usually means it's out of sync. Maybe do a poor mans needle mod, and reset the idle screws. Hope it improves somewhat... Otherwise I'll be back on the '91 for any long distance touring...
