    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.

    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???

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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....

    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....

    Dang I hate to hear this!!!!! Tell James prayers are sent..
  13. Condor
    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.
  14. Condor
    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.

    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..

    Nice pics!!!!!! Keep 'm coming...
  18. Condor
    Yeah, for those of us attending vicariously it would be nice to see the haps without jumping thru the hoops....

    Do you need another starter or can you clean up the one you have and put new brushes in it. The only thing that would wear out a starter is the groved armature surface going bad. Or a bad winding. Most of the time a good cleaning and brushes will get it back up and working.
  20. Condor
    That's what happened to the first tire, but the second they picked up the cost of the install too. I suspect they would have picked up the first but I never asked...

    Got mine in the mail today. Very nice Don...

    I click on the thumbnails and still get linked to Facebook.. Still nada unless I get out the magnifying glass...... Couldn't find a group in the photo bucket called hub-day-1-2009. I give up, I'm outta here......
  23. Condor
    OK, all you that don't want or need the $3000 grand, send it to me. I'll find something to spend it on....

    I remember a few years ago seeing a close out on an AC Helmet. They had a small scoop on the toip that directed the air flow thru a fan to produce enough power to work a thermocoupler. Interesting but since they were on close out they didn't sell all that well, and probably didn't work that well either....

    I'd hate to think how much torque force that 800# bike is applying to the base and arm right angles.... What is that lift rated for anyway???
