    The price works out to around $1600 US. Looks well built. I don't know what the retail is on a Unigo, but I bet it's a lot more than this one. I've always liked the concept, but can't afford either.

    You may hope that it comes roaring in like a lion.... Out like a lamb and an early spring. It kinda looks like the lions about to roar, but we have another couple of weeks to make up our minds.... LION???

    So... Rick. The forks still need to be taken apart. Yes?? I've never been into a fork, and don't know didily. But then again I can drill holes with the bet of them. Will I need anything special, tool wise, to tackle the job??

    Just a story. I was watching the Glen Beck Show on Fox News, and he had the owner of a gun shop in Connecticut on. He remarked that gun sales have gone nutzo, and ammo sales are even crazier.. He can't get a lot of the popular calibers. I also have a friend that does gun shows, and the last one he went to one a major ammo dealer attended with a full pallet of 223rem and a full pallet of 7.62. He stated that for three hours you couldn't get near their tables, and at the end of the 3 hours they had sold out of both pallets. I haven't seen this type of a buying frenzy since the early 60's when the first gun registrations were required....

    Have you checked a plug for spark, and is the plug wet when you first pulled it??

    Hope you're still hangin' in there Don. It get's easier every day. One day at a time. I used to be a very heavy smoker for 20 years while a sales rep. Quit cold turkey 20 years ago. Today I think back and am amazed that any one would even get near me. My clothes stunk, my car stunk, my office stunk. Now when I get downwind of a smoker I can't breathe. Nothing worse than a reformed smoker...

    Does it need a kick stand???

    The idea is to have it swivel at the through pin, and not between the ball and coupler. Combine both movements and things can get pretty sloppy......... I'd rather stay with the Nosha Coupler style.. At least they eliminate one area of play.

    With the price dropping to $80US becasue of the stronger dollar on the world market, it doesn't make sense not to buy direct.

    I think he's refering to the vents in the lowers, and they will direct warmer air onto your shins. The intakes in the front uppers are permanently open.

    I looked at that one too. Saw it on Ebay. My first thought is that it would work quite well, but.... the couple would have to fit on the ball tightly or it might create a problem staying vertical. Normally there's always a little slop between the coupler and the ball, but without a mounting plate there's a lot of swivel. Try it sometime. Put an unmounted ball in a coupler and swing it from side to side. The mounting plate holds it vertical, not the coupler...

    I picked up a smart charger from West Marine, and I have seen them at Sam's Club. It's a 2-20-15 charger, and it will diagnose problems with an error code read out. It looks different with an older style case, but is very similar in function to the Black and Decker at $50 bucks. It will only charge a battery at the rate it will absorb. So even though you have it set on 10amps it will charge at the lesser rate. It also gives you a charger that you can use with the car battery. http://bdonlinestore.com/imagesEdp/p56312b.jpg

    In his response to one of the questions he states it's a 4, but the picture clearly shows a two, and he does state in the discription that it's for two carbs only. MORGAN CARB TUNE Going to be iffy.....

    Used that method to tighten up some poured rod bearings on an early 3/4T Chevy Carryall with a straight 6. Just sanded the caps until I got the right clearance with plasti-guage. Drove the hell out of that truck for many afterwards. Wish I still had that thing... The AK47 of the truck world.

    That may no longer be the case Squeeze. If there was any machining involved I'd be dead in the water, but the explanation RaceTech posted on the imulaters make it sound like it's nothing more than dropping them in place. http://www.racetech.com/popupwindow/GoldValveCartridgeEmulators.asp Now you may be thinking about installing the original Gold Valves in a racing fork......???
  17. Condor
    Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, after reading about the Valve Emulater it looks like it's a straight drop in with the spring holding it in place. So installing it myself is do-able. I also have progressives, but might try a set of their springs too. I can put the pro-springs in another bike. Or I might just put the set up in the '91, and leave the '83 alone Decisions .... decisions??

    Copied this off the Racetech Service dept page. Buy Gold Valve Kits, High Performance Springs, and Ultra Slick Suspension Fluids and install them yourself. (If you get stuck call your Tech Support 951.279.6655.) Hey, if you're really into it check out our Suspension Seminars. Send your shock and forks to Race Tech. Have your local Race Tech Center install them. Have your local dealer do the work. http://www.racetech.com/SubMenu.asp?cMenu=7&c=Yes&showPage=service

    Jeeese, I forgot about that!! I'll finally get to use that set of R1 calipers I have in my stash. Even have a set of MKII rotors. Did you do the installation yourself, or have them do it?? And do you still have the CLASS air hooked up to the front forks??
  20. Condor
    I knew you'd have the answer Squeeze.... Thanks!! Just wanted to be absolutely sure..

    I heard about the dollar getting stronger on the world market just yesterday, and can't figure it out. Maybe RSV's will start getting more affordable That's a great price for a CarbTune.... For anyone on the fence now's the time to buy before they figure out that the dollar ain't worth much either......... That may be the reason crude oil is still down.

    Ok, gotta a question. Will the forks off a MkII fit a MkI without any physical alterations.. Just want to make absolutely sure... I'm aware of the difference in AD's. The reason I'm asking is to make doublely sure before sending off a spare set of MkII forks to RACETECH and have their suspension valves installed for the '83. When this is done there will no longer be a need for the AD's so it's a moot point. Some time ago Rick Butler refered me to these guys and gave great feedback on them.

    When times get tough they start coming out of the woodwork. When doing Paypal I always run it through the CC. That way I can contest any payments made with the CC company. I've had to do it, and it does work. It's also a good thing to check the itemized CC statement and not just go ahead and send a payment off. I bought a set of boat parts from a supplier for $10 bucks, and they mistakenly charged me $250. If I hadn't questioned it, I'da been stuck. Another thing to be aware of is that scammers will send you a bogus bid or charge notice with bogus links. Things to look out for are that they do not use your registered name, and the HTTPS in the address. Any suspect emails you receive forward to Paypal spoof@paypal.com or Spoof@ebay.com before doing anything.
