  1. Thought I heard something about Dairy Queen......
  2. I've experienced the slow return to idle on several sets of carbs.... even after syncing. I've cured the problem by backing off all the sync screws, and starting from scratch. Amazing the difference in acceleration and response, and overall engine performance.....
  3. It's there. You just have to get past the glare...
  4. Great Pics Gary..... Keep 'm coming...
  5. They came with the bike when I bought it..... Good thing too!!! Passenger Floorboards
  6. Wow!!.... Big thread. To throw more fuel on the fire attached is a pic of the E3 on the '99. Pro'bly 300 miles on it. It does look like the start of a shiney spot on the side wall... but it's not making any sound.... FWIW.. PS... I also ran the tire for a couple of hundred miles without any air pressure in the rear shock. Finally picked up a good progressive pump, took it to 45psi, and it handles much better. Big improvement in low speed handling. BTW I tip the scales at.... ahem..... 350#.
  7. Whew!!..... As an ex Avon user I get the 'yips' every time I see a thread titled like this. Glad to hear it's a mechanical problem, and nothing to do with the E3's.....
  8. Got it Rusty. I think you already have the upgrade....
  9. If you haven't already done it you might get ahold of Ponch about replacing the tape deck with some meaningful guages....??
  10. Man, I'm lovin' this post......
  11. Thanks for the very well done comparison of the two lights. For what little difference there appears to be I think I'll go with the Ultras. I'm all for improving night time lighting, but when oncoming traffic is blinded, danger increases instead of decreases. I'm always having to look away when a HID vehicle approaches at night. They hurt just looking at them...
  12. I've used Lubri-Matic for years. Seems to last forever....
  13. Bet it was a typo and should have been a MKII....??
  14. I'd check the diaphragm to see just how much that needle is being pulled out. You may not be getting full lift at higher RPM's.........
  15. I'da raised my hand, but I just don't listen to much of anything while riding and they'd just be wasted on me.... Hope someone is interested....
  16. But it would be clean..... And maybe have diner too....
  17. Dave, Witchta is probably the closest major to Kingman. I checked the KS listings and found 6 or 7 expired members listed. I'd try to comtact one of them about a look see.... Looks like the bike might have potential....
  18. OK,... so now don't laugh.... I just got an Email from Lowell about a cucumber working to eliminate steam on a bathroom window. Wonder if a couple of slices might work on the windshield.
  19. Yep.... Time for fresh blood.....
  20. Yep.... Now if we'd only have another national there......
  21. 'Bout $8500.....
  22. With all the comments about different oil formulas to get rid of the whine, has anyone ever tried adding a little STP?? Haven't seen or heard of it for a long while now. Does it still exist, or am I showing my age??? I guess it still does, but it don't look like it used to.... STP OIL TREATMENT
  23. Most American made antenna's take a 3/8"x16 fitting. I just thought you could have punched out the bracket to a 3/8ths hole and come up through the bottom with 3/8x1" screw. You can also attach the co-ax by splitting the core and shield and solder them to eye terminals and eliminate the PL259 connectors like those used on Monty's bike.... Some CB antennas need to be tuned by adjusting the tip above the load. Some antennas are pretuned via the length of the co-ax which is unfortunately way too long to have run all over the bike.
