    I picked up another '83 and it turned out to have a 'weak' second gear. Lug it down in second and the dogs would jump out. I put about 500 miles on it, and when I shift into second I don't mess around ,and bang it into gear with a clunk. Slowly second gear got better, and when I sold it... didn't need two... it shifted fine and didn't skip. Go figure. I think what happens is the dog edges get rounded off when the rider trys to baby it into second gear. When I slammed into second, the edges flatted out again. Maybe???

    It your '85 is over serial # 1413 then your question is a moot point. You have the better tranny. If it isn't.... good question...

    You need to update your pic file...... Talked to Rocket a couple of nights ago. Your motor is about ready to go in....

    What your saying is valid... if folks were spending bucks. They're not. It's going to be a long while before the public feels comfortable enough to stick their neck out, and go into debt for any non essential items. Let's face it, the boat has been rocked!!

    In these economical times the MC biz is going to change. Just like car dealers, a lot of them will be closing their doors if they can't, or refuse to, compete. If they're in over their heads in flooring debt, it's just a matter of time before the collectors start knocking at their door. It's going to be a long time before a bike sells for msrp, and it's going to be a long time before dealers will have a bunch of inventory on their showroom floor.

    Yeah, but it has that dang crooked vent installed..... Are they going to fix that???

    I just picked up a set of 415 Wolo's www.wolo-mfg.com off Ebay. They're the metal model with the bell cover. They also come in plastic. Anyway, has anyone ever tried a set of these?? Got 'm for a pretty decent price, but if they're junk, I won't bother mounting them.... http://www.wolo-mfg.com/415-big.jpg

    I've seen a few Jibbs in that condition, but they usually end up as drop cloths...

    Lately I can believe some of the stuff sellers are listing on Ebay. Dirty, rusted, looks like they drug the bike out of Freebird's pond, and they expect a venture rider to bid on it??? It's happening more and more. Are they that hard up... or dumb??? I'da tossed it in the dumpster. EXAMPLE

    What's the deal with these 2ndGen ignition switches. It's like a plague... One of those rites of life... It's so bad owners need to carry around a by-pass kit just in case. Yamaha could have done better than that.. I can't remember hearing about a 1stGen switch taking a dive. What are they building them out of tissue paper???

    Most dealers carry the EBC brand.

    Been picking up a few rifles out of an estate the last couple of months. 3 so far, and their cost wasn't going to break the bank, but I really didn't expect to get the trailer. Didn't even go to the auction, it was a half hearted absentee bid?? The trailer is what broke the bank.... Guess I'll just have to live with it....Sigh!!!!

    Heading on over to the auction house to pick up the trailer this AM. They called yesterday to let me know that they're back from vacation, and it's ready to go. They called back again about a half hour later and Betty said a guy was asking if I really wanted it, and offered $1500 for it. I replied with a 'no thanks'. Then I thought I should have countered with $2000. These things sell new in the $2500-$3000 neighborhood. Also picking up my Ruger #1 that had to be held for 10 days. I am really broke!!!!!!!!!

    A couple of years back I picked up a set of these off Ebay..just because. Later when I went to install a pair in the front caliper I found that the metal backing plate was too wide to fit in the void. Had to do a little 'shaping' to make them work. Since then I've found a few EBC sets on Ebay and the others sit. Personally I'd wait until you can find a couple of EBC sets...unless you need them now!!

    Both work for me too Don. I donno, but that button was taken from an email to myself off the auction page, copied, and then pasted to the post. Thought I'd see if it worked. It worked off the email, and should have worked off the post??? Other times I use the hyperlink feature off the menu at the top of the reply text window. I've noticed that sometimes a hyperlink will work for me, and not for others, and visa versa. It also seems to happen when other members post. So it's a random thing. The only time they seem to work all the time is when an address is pasted in it's original form. I only use the hyperlink when the address for a webpage is huge.

    I don't know what the problem is trying to copy an address in Ebay and using it to hotlink to an auction. Works for some and not for others. Anyway try this. http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/buttons/btnShowMe.gif

    Use Proxibid to buy one of those bikes and I bet your Vegas plans change....

    OK folks, Just to let you know, the MAC's will be mailed out via USPS Priority this morning to those in the US. They should show on your doorstep by Friday or Monday at the latest. Canadian... DaveZ's... will go out tomorrow or Friday. Why? Because #1, I'm whooped, and #2 I have a few biz things that need tending to. For all those who have inquired about any extra sets, the prepaid members have all been taken care of, but I'm still waiting for the last 4 sets to ship. When?? Who knows?? However when they do arrive, I'll contact those that have expressed a desire to pick up a set by the date of their request. For those members, there's no need to send me anymore PM's or Email. You're on record, and I'll contact you when the back ordered sets arrive. I just want to thank everyone who'd prepaid for being patient throughout this 'ordeal'. It's been interesting to say the least....
