  1. How about a big
  2. There may be around 50 ordered, but like previously posted the total mentioned is still around 25-30. I'm sure by the time Squeeze is through dealing with the seller the final price will be figured out, and then it's a matter of sending the payment via paypal to either Squeeze or JB to be forwarded to the dealer. I've personally done several group buys for the board and that's the way I've done it in the past. I'd be interested to know what you paid via Ebay, and maybe a liink to the sellers auctions?? Also, I've never heard of this rectifyer before. When you find something like this on Ebay you might mention it to the other members. Some might have been interested even at the auction price.
  3. In the second post Lonestarmedic said he could act as distribution point. As far as shipping goes I don't see why the thing wouldn't fit in a small flat rate Priority box for the US for $5 bucks, and Priority to Canada will run $10. As far as the number available, I thought the number posted was about 30... I don't know where you came up with the $1800 figure... 30 x $32 works out to be around $960, and if everyone pays in advance it's not going to be a hardship on anyone. This thing is still in the infant stage, and no matter what it ends up costing in the long run, it'll still be a hell of a lot cheaper than dealing with a new OEM. Plus being better technology.

  5. Very nice Rocket. Those lights are great, and that's the same plug bar we were talking about. Dan, 2ndGens are just plain slow, and they just can't stand it. But they are cute.... :rotf:
  6. It's definately not normal. Time to take it to the dealer.
  7. I used to work in the western industry during the big western craze of the '80's. and wore 'riding boots'...., because it was fashionable. Everyone who wore them raved at how comfortable they were. Basically I think they were afraid to admit that they sucked... sorta like mass hysteria. They were the most unconfortable footwear I'd ever worn, and since the company I worked for owned a boot factory I could have anything I wanted for next to nothin'. They pinched your toes, hurt the arches, and rolled ankles,.... but they looked good!!!! Riding boot were designed for riding a horse, not doing the two-step at your local saloon. The pointed tow for getting into a stirrup, the underslung heel in order to not catch the hell when dismounting, and the steel arch for support while in the stirrup. Now remember I said western riding boots. On the other hand they also make a 'roper' style boot with a walking heel, and about an 8" top. Comfortable as all get out. After trying a few riding styles I switched to the roper and never looked back. There used to be jokes in the industry. How can you tell a real cowboy? He's wearing Adidas.... Or.. How do you tell a fake cowboy. He's got two quarters to rub together in his pocket...
  8. If that's $106 Canadian jump on them. Shipping and customs from the US will jack up the price significantly. I looked for aftermarkets for years and never found any. Finding any on Ebay is about as rare as chicken lips. I even asked the folks that sell the header gaskets on Ebay, and they didn't even know what I was talking about. That said, I did run across an Ebay seller about 6 months ago who was clearing out NOS dealer stock, and ended up buying him out. With 6 bikes to feed I eventually use them all. That was the first and the last time I've ever seen any listed.
  9. Unless that leg of yours heals up OK it'll be either a trike or a pogo stick..... Beside a trike is like a 58 Chevy Impala... It grows on ya.... Didn't I just see a pic of a V-Max Trike???
  10. Hey Dan. I know how you feel about the bad pin. Wildhair and I do too... So..... it doesn't make any difference if you own a 2ndGen or not.. The leg and happy pills are keeping you out of the saddle. Ommmmm.... I see a trike in the future...
  11. It's fun to dream...What if? I've lusted after a 2ndGen, and a Stratoliner, in the past, but neither happened for one reason of another. I understand the feeling about not riding with so many bikes in the stable. With health issues and oil leaks I've been sitting for the last 6-7 months. But I'm happy to say the '83 has been rejuvenated by replacing the old leaky forks with MkII forks, R1 calipers, and a new rear Avon. It's ALIVE!!!!!! It's amazing how the psychy improves when there's a bike sitting there ready to ride. Now it's on to the '91 and it's leak. The rest of the bikes I consider 'one-of-these-days kits'. Do you have anything that's close to being ridable? Instead of being overwhelmed, and thinking about all the projects, concintrate on just one. If none of them are close to road worthy, maybe it's time to become an Ebay seller. Bank the money you get from the parts and go out and buy a very clean 1stGen or 2ndGen. I bet you have enough part$ buck$ to get something that you don't have to wrench on.
  12. It'll show up. The Color-tunes are a PITA to used anyway. I'm still looking for my Beckman Multi-meter. It's around somewhere, and thank God for Harbor Freight...

  14. Put me down for 2 each Squeeze...
  15. And then there was only one set left.....
  16. I gotta hand it to youse guys. When riding I can't handle that many distractions. Having audio as well as visual input is more than my p--brain can process. I'm to busy watching for potential problems, traffic, and eschewing up the scenery. The CB is about the only thing that I miss on the '83 and what I listen to on the '91. Trying to figure out what button to push or what I need to do to is TMI. For me, holding a conversation on a cell is asking for trouble. Little finger down.... gotta pee. Slap the tank... need gas. The KISS formula....
  17. No rejetting needed. Install 'm and go ride.... From the expressed interest, if you're thinking about picking up one of the sets, I'd suggest committing sometime soon. One set is gone. We're now down to two available....
  18. Dang I hate to hear this!!!!! Tell James prayers are sent..
  19. Wow!!!!! Thought this problem had been put to bed months ago. I didn't realize it was still on going. JB you have the patients of a saint. We'll need a report and pics of the new set.. One of the reasons I haven't persued another group buy is that I wasn't going to put up with all the BS excuses for months on end, and keep members hanging on a string. I basically told them to call me when they have product on the shelf. So again, 3 sets are available.... for imediate delivery..!!!. Attached are a hodge-podge of pics of the MAC's on the '83.
  20. I received a call from MAC today telling me that they had 3 sets of mufflers available. If anyone's interested, the price to your doorstep in the US is $295. Canada is about $10 bucks more. The MSRP is $329 plus shipping. PM me if you'd like to pick up a set.
  21. I guess it arrived OK... Looks good. I don't recommend buffing it out. Bongobob buffed his out and it escaped into his garage somewhere.... and he's still looking for it..
