  1. Well... Mark's is the aftermarket collector that has gone over the hill on pricing.. What I was thinking about is to just mimic the collector with straight tubing between the front headers and the mufflers, with the rear header joined in somewhere along the middle. More of a 2 into 1 connector.
  2. The stainless lines are something I've wanted to do.....but I just can't justify the bucks they want for the lines..... The 4 piston R1 calipers definitely make a huge difference. I just think using HH's all around might do more harm than good by making the system too powerfull causing the brakes to lock up easier in a panic situation. Not that I'd ever get into an OS situation....
  3. No the system is still linked... That's kinda why I'm wondering if I need an HH on the left side since I'm braking with the front and back??
  4. Ok here's what I need a little input on. I've changed over the forks on the '83 and put on R1 calipers. And they worked very well in Cody and over the BearTooth. I'm thinking about using an HH brake pad on the right caliper and a sinistered on the left. I do have one set of HHs, but thought I'd ask for some input before going out and buying something for the left. The HH will definately increase left stopping power, but do I need it on both sides?? Whatcha think.
  5. Very nice bike!! Value?? About 9000 by itself. Ask 9.5 and let them beat you up... Trailer's worth another 6-700.
  6. Has anyone ever replaced the collector with straight tubes and a crossover?? I know about the aftermarket collector, but it'll give you a nose bleed just looking at the price... Does the 2ndGen have a collector?? Or crossover??
  7. Thanks, but too many hoops to jump thru to play.
  8. Try this place.... http://www.ntxtools.com/index.html
  9. Hey Deb, Got the DVD today. Many Thanks. Nice stuff and a lot that I missed. I gotta work on that slouch.
  10. Had that happen at a Basque resturant in Bakersfield Ca once long ago. Went in, sat down, and they just started bringing food. No menu. Rolled out of the place....
  11. Geeze, now I'm getting confused. The one in the pdf file that Rocket posted for the '86 is a long bolt. In the one I took the pic of, the bolt's only about 3" long and screws into that larger cross piece. I may not have what I thought was an '88 swingarm/shock assembly. Gary, if the one I have is the one you need I'll send it to you, but I just wanna make sure.... OK I just took a look at swing arm assemblies from an '83, '86, and 88. There is a difference between the '88 and '86, and I do have the '88. Now I don't know if they're interchangable or not, but as it looks right now there is a difference. Anyone know if they're interchangeable?? The '88 looks a lot beefier....
  12. Here's a MK II rear on Ebay. ROTOR
  13. This one???
  14. OK Gary. Which one do you need? The 6" one that fits in the yoke, or the smaller one up on the frame and near the dampner adjustment end??. I have the long one.
  15. Mine will stick once in a while after sitting for a long period. Before starting rock the bike back and forth in neutral a bit to loosen things up before pressing 'the' button.... I'd also think about bleeding the brake fluid if you haven't done so in a while....
  16. They're not making parts any longer, but there are still quite a few left in the distribution pipeline. Once they're gone...they're gone. No company is going to support a product that's 25+ years old.
  17. Kudos to the photographer, and congrats to a very beautiful young lady and her very lucky husband.....
  18. Those older thicker DLP sets are getting hard to get rid of. Thiner LCD and Plasma screens have more or less taken over, and now with the new super thin LED's coming out it's gonna be tough.... Good Luck
  19. I just got to thinkin', and yaw'l know the trailer to that statment. I wonder...??... if the clunk is the center stand bouncing up and down over rough surfaces. There's a tab on the LH Muffler that has a rubber bumper on it, and if that thing wears out or rots off, it's metal on metal. Just a thought.... And it would help if I'd read the previous post.....:rotf:
  20. Only 77 today......
  21. The dash needs to be from an '83. An '84 might work, but I don't think so. I replaced the dash in my '83 a couple of years ago with one off Ebay. Basically because of cosmetics plus a goofy CMU. '83 dashes do show up on EB all the time.
  22. My bad.... I thought you posted the question to 'stir things up'..... Trailer on!!! Arrrgh.....

    Guns!

    Back in the good ol' days a friend of mine carried a small Deringer in 38spcl. I see now where they're making them in 9mm, 357, and 40. I bet it hurts when you pull the trigger. But then again it's better to knock 'm down rather than just piss them off.
