She's in our thoughts and prayers......

Yep, I remember that thread, and thought about that as an option. But I had a set of these nice looking 2Gen masters laying here..... If it gets to be to much of a hastle I may just go with a set of clean MarkII's for the 14mm bore, which is the same as the R1/R6 master, to match the R1 Caliper. I might even go with a little larger MKII rear master but keep the rear MKI caliper. On the shim I thought I might check with Earl to see if he might be able to machine me up a couple of 7/8"ID to 1"OD shims out of aluminum. All this for a couple of cheesy sight glasses......
-
I'd be intrested in what the R1 masters are in bore size also Gary. And it may very well be better to install a set of MKII masters to improve performance since they are a larger bore than the MKI's. In answer to Squeezes query about delinking the brakes. Nope, everything is '83 stock as a rock except for the R1 Caliper mod. Squeezes suggestion about trying an early set off an FJR1300 might be a better way to go?? I'll look into those as well. I just thought the G2 masters were better looking than what's on there, and one of those triple accessory switch housings from Kuryakyn would have been in the future.

I think I do remember something like that, but usually I can't remember what I talked about yesterday let alone 18 months ago. This set of 2ndGens are off a '99. There isn't a whole lot of difference between 14mm and 15.87 in the bore size. 2mm isn't that much. I would think leverage would be a bigger factor on the hydralic caliper presure than volume. My brake lever compresses about 2"/50mm with the OEMs. Push 20% more fluid thru the line and it might reduce the throw to 1.5"/37mm?? ...Rough estimates... And remember I just installed the R1 front brake caliper. On the clutch master I don't think it makes all that much difference??? Thanks for the input Squeeze. I guess the only way to tell for sure is do the swap. If it's going to try and send me over the windshield I can always undo everything.
-
I had thought about that and figured I'd just shim the 2ndGens.... I have some stainless 1" tubing... boat stuff ya know ... that should do the trick... How would the bigger piston effect the braking??
-
OK, I'm thinkin' since both of the '83's sight glasses in the OEM master reserves are one step above swiss cheese I'd either replace them with another set of OEMs, or.... replace them with a set of 2ndGen masters and levers... which I have already. Has anyone ever comtimplated doing this, or possibly even done it?? Can anyone think of a reason why not?? Any input would be appreciated.... Thanks..

Another thing I'm runing into is the 'go to first unread' function takes me to the first post instead of the first unread. Not sure if this is a result of the 'new posts' function, but it's a PITA....

Middle Gear oil seal
Condor replied to Jimod's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Get ahold of Rocket on this board. He just finished fixing Friesman's output bearing and seal on his '85. Don't let it go too long or you're going to have big problems. -
I don't like it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

trouble with voltage
Condor replied to jonsmyth's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
All good suggestions, but the biggest cause of the voltage dropping to 10vdc is that at idle your stator isn't charging. Lights, AD's, radio, tape player, fan, all put a hell of a load on the battery, and if it doesn't have enough CC's to meet the demand you're going to draw it down quick. My sugestion, if you don't already have one, is a quality AGM battery, and keep the bike in a lower gear to keep the R's above 2000. -
Yep, my bad. And that's why I have a Classical. My hands are so big I can't finger the strings without touching the adjacent string on a classical and an acoustic is a joke.... And that's why I can only play a few cords...but it's still fun to drag the thing out every once in a while and plunk....

Should be a lot easier on the tips since an acoustic has a wider neck and the thin strings are nylon. It's those dang thin steel strings and narrow necks that'll getcha....

Wouldn't your older BC/BS be on the hook since it's an ongoing claim, and the operatiion's already been approved by them. I think you need to go bang heads....
-
If you're going to make an offer, take little bites. $100 bucks a crack. He may have a reserve of less than $8500..... No sense in tossing more at it than needed... I'm in agreement with others who've posted. For that kind of money the RSV midnight is a better bang for the buck...

Wishing youse guys health and happiness in 2010....

I think they depend on folks reporting the traps when they see them.... Good idea, but it's only as good as folks being active.

So what happened to the '91? Your profile says you're riding a '92.... There's gotta be a story here somewhere...
-
I just ran into this website. Don't know how accurate it is, but it might be worth looking at before running up to the Dairy Queen.... http://www.speedtrap.org/

WOW!!!!! Powerfull.... I'm forwarding this one to all my cager friends... Thanks.

Picked this up off the web. I've heard of it before. Hydrogen peroxide for foot fungus is one of the common home remedies for this affliction. It is a common household disinfectant, long used to clean minor cuts and scratches, and even popular for disinfecting cutting boards and kitchen utensils. Intuitively, it makes sense that it might be good for killing fungus. This article discusses the use of hydrogen peroxide as a home cure for fungal infections of the feet, and also describes several alternative home remedies that are used in similar ways. If you have foot fungus, read on. It's quite common to have both athlete's foot and nail fungus: infection often starts in the nails and spreads to the surrounding skin and between the toes. Or, it may begin on the skin, particularly in the crevice between the toes where conditions are warm and often damp, then progress to the nails. Whichever way it goes, you can choose a fungal remedy to treat both at once. Popular home remedies include soaking the feet in vinegar, dilute bleach, or hydrogen peroxide for foot fungus. Hydrogen peroxide for foot fungus may work, although scientific studies have not been done to confirm its usefulness. Use a 3% solution, as the stronger preparations are less safe and may cause skin reactions. Approaches include soaking in the peroxide, wiping onto the affected areas several times daily, or spraying it on and allowing it to dry. It is likely to produce results much faster for athletes foot fungus than for a nail infection. On thing is undeniable: as a foot fungus remedy, it is one of the cheapest. Ordinary white vinegar is very affordable as well, and is perhaps a more popular treatment than hydrogen peroxide for foot fungus. The approach here is to soak the feet for 20 to 30 minutes every day until the problem clears up. If you have the time for this foot fungus remedy (you could do it while watching the news or reading the paper), this would treat both athletes foot, and fungal nails.

On the side of the battery there's usually a letter and number. The letter stands for the month, and the number is the year... A03 would be Jan 2003, B02 would be Feb 2002, etc....

I liked that.....

I'm not sure if the Barnet's are any better than new OEM?? By the time anyone gets around to replacing the clutch springs the originals have lost a lot of their rebound, and any fresh spring will be better than what's in there. However.... the Barnets run around $20 bucks. I'm not sure what the OEMs run.... too lazy to look... but I bet the way Yamaha is pricing things lately they're gonna run more than that??...
