    A couple of years ago I picked up a set of lo-mile mint forks, and triple, off an '86 on Ebay for $65 bucks and the shipping was somewhere around $25. Even tho the seller has a BIN of $200 the forks don't have a reserve. I'm not sure what his thinking was, because they charge you extra for a BIN. If he's using the BIN to somehow indicate a value he might just as well have said so in the discription.

    I was going to ***** about the 6 gal fuel tank, and then I saw the 75mpg at 100mph post. Wonder what it would be if they slowed down???

    Speedo died

    Condor replied to a topic in General Tech Talk

    All speedo's are interchangeable between 83-93, but changing them is a PITA. I'd look at Ebay for a clean complete dash. 1983DASH. It's a lot easier swapping out the dash. But.... just for the heck of it pull the head light and left blinker, and check to see if the cable hasn't come loose from the back of the dash. I've seen a couple that's happened to....mine included.

    I bet it has something to do with passing EPA requirements, and getting a cleaner fuel burn during warm ups.

    Me too Jeremy. The HH pads made a difference. This is just my opinion, right or wrong, but the worse thing you can do is lock up both wheels...anytime... especially when I'm doing 50+. With the OEM system I can slap the binders full on and neither wheel will lock up, but I can reduce speed in a big hurry. Lock 'm up and you might as well be on ice.... I guess it's something that I learned at an early age with drum brakes front and rear... I automatically hit both the rear, and the front, when in a panic stop. I don't even think about it, it's just something I do.

    I'm still perservering.... I think the clue will be when they start blaming the chromer for the delay. I've gonna wait until friday the 21st, and if I'm still getting the run around, I'll cancel and start refunding.

    Squeeze sent this info to me on the R1/R6 caliper years that will work. R1.....'99-'03 R6.....'97-'01 Also when looking at calipers on Ebay the blue dots are steel, and the gold dots are aluminum. Hope it helps. I really helped me.

    The thing looks like the European Garmin 510C that they blew out on WOOT a couple of weeks ago for $69.95. Garmin reloaded the unit with US data. They sold 2300 units in about 2 hrs....while I was asleep....

    That's common practice here in california. Lane spliting is accepted because there's no law that says it's illigal. I've never done it... no guts, and too vivid of an imagination....

    Hi Sherry, Just got in from knocking the dust off everything... well almost everything.. Also ran into a few more of those black critters while rootin' thou the boxes. Yuck!! I did enjoy our visit. Nothin' like a big hug to make ya feel better. You ever need help, or someone to talk to give me a shout. You're one classy lady....

    Yeah Al, the whole thing needs to be removed. On the set that I had the flat stock came off when I removed the whole assembly, but I can't remember if there were any bolts attaching it to the under carriage. I don't think so, but if there is on yours take the thing off. It serves no purpose.

    That two weeks ago has turned into 5. And they actually said 3 weeks about 2 months ago. It's always the same story. As soon as they check with the production manager they'll get back with me. I don't think the PM even exists. I'd love to walk in off the street and put the screws to 'm. Like I said in my previous. I've just about had it up to here with excuses. OK it's friday afternoon. I just called them again. The latest story??? is they are at the chromers and should be ready next week. WE'll see..................

    I just called them 3days ago, 2days ago, and yesterday Joe. Still getting the run-a-round. I know you guys don't want to hear this, but I'm about ready to tell them to stick it and refund everyone's payments. I've dealt with a lot manufacturers in the past, and when they start coming up with excuse after excuse about production, it's generally a sign of one of two things. They are indeed swamped with orders, or their credit line is so bad they can't even buy material, and they're about ready to fold.. In this case I don't think it's the former. I've been getting the run-around and excuses since mid-June, and I'm trying to be patient...above and beyond.... because I know how much you guys want these mufflers, I'm really sorry, but... I'm runing out of patients. So unless something happens very quickly, don't be surprised if it you all get a notice that you have a refund sitting in your paypal accounts.

    Collar? What collar???

    You might consider a custom seat that moves you back a bit.. I lucked out and bought a Corbin off Ebay that was built for someone with long legs. Gives me about 3 extra inches to the rear, and I need every one of 'm.. Makes a big difference..

    It is messy pulling the master and reserve out of there Mike. Just make sure that you rinse off all that DOT 3 that gets on the painted areas, or they won't be painted very long. A water flush works good. I rebuilt my master, but never did pull out the reserve. I probably should have because the baffle/gasket ended up pushing down on the low fluid sensor and gave false readings until I got in there with a piece of coat hanger and got some of the pleats compressed out of the way. Not perfect, but it did git rid of the red warning light. The master rebuild isn't that big of a deal. Pretty straight forward. The only thing you want to make sure of is that the expansion hole under the plastic 'L' fitting is clear. If you remove the fitting screws it will come off. It's a little stubborn due to the 'O' ring seal. At the bottom of the hole there are 2 holes. One looks like it's a false hole, but at the bottom of the false there's a very small orifice that allows heated expanded fluid back into the reserve. If that hole isn't clear the brakes will lock up on you. Other than that, and it being a PITA bleeding the system, you should be good to go.
