    If you're just looking for something to hold the chrome covers on the reserves, I'd suggest getting a 2-part thread repair kit at your local auto parts store. It doesn't take a ton of torque to hold the covers on.... http://www.statesupply.com/displayCategory.do?cuid=FP_MS_Epoxy

    Check the three white wire connector before doing anything else. They get corroded and over heat, lose it's connection, and causing the stator not to work. There's a ton of info on the subject here on this board. Do a search for 3 or three white. Also put a multi-tester on the battery posts while it's running. You should get 14vdc to 14.2vdc when the engine rmp is over 2000. If you are getting output you have a bad battery. After that it's replacing the rectifyer or stator.

    Hey, I'm peddlin' and fast as I can.... In 25 years I'll be pushin' 93 and something tells me I won't be riding a VR any longer. I'll let someone younger, enjoy the rush!! And replace the starter.

    I still ain't gonna live that long....

    Yea!!!!!!!!!!

    Personally I don't know what the big deal is about the 2-brush and 4-brush staters. I look at it this way, the OEM '83 2-brush starters are lasting 25years plus, why would anyone need to stuff a 4-brush in there to begin with?? I ain't gonna live that long.......

    LOL... Yeah didn't notice that. Must be dual citizenship....

    I donno Mike, Sounds like a project or parts bike to me?? Even if the carbs were done, it's been sitting, so they may need to be smoozed again. With all the other issues, $2500 is way too much for that one... IMHO...

    Maybe this is what you're looking for...

    Probably never will JT. The Dk blue is out of a spray can, and a really bad job. The side covers are powder blue and even worse. I don't think the guy has ever heard of masking tape.... Beware:whistling:.... it's getting close to Holloween.... http://www.webweaver.nu/clipart/img/holidays/halloween/witch3.gif

    Once a year we make the ride to LUDY's in Woodland Ca. We do our own BBQ, no help from anyone back east.

    Here's a few pics of the gang doing what we do best.....

    Yep, topped off the scoot this morning. $2.99. No relief for the weary. But then Ca is always seems to be .50 cents higher than the rest of the nation.

    Yeah, I thought of that. The only thing that makes me think it's the word proccessor on the board is it only happens on this board. I have one other MC board that I occassionally post to, and 2-3 fishing boards. None of them do it. I'm running SP pro Media. Even when I'm in a secure billing area, like UPS or USPS, filling out info, and briefly need to go somewhere else the info is retained. When I'm typing here I don't have any problems as long as I stay on the page and use the TAB function to check on something... Like I said it's not a real big deal, except when I screw up and accidently hit something I'm not supposed to and haven't copied. Then it's !@#$@#$#$%$.

    I had that happen to me once. I had a rare collectable fishing reel that I listed and a guy in Las Vegas was the high bidder at $350. He was a flake and never paid. So I went ahead and relisted the reel and this time the winning bidder was in Hawaii, and it went for $450!!.... :-) Sometimes things do go right...

    Everythings working great for me. My pet peeve is that if I happen to accidently hit the wrong key, and go to another webpage while typing, everything I typed is gone when I return and I need to start over again. Get really pissed off if it's a long type. On long responses I've started copying to the clipboard in case something happens. That way I don't loose it all if I do. This is the only board where this has ever happened.

    No, Thank God, they helped me load it in the PU, but when unloading it I had to grunt it into the house all by my lonesome. Dang thing was like a refridgerator.

    I am having a bit of trouble finding any history on the clock. It's an Emperor, and they went out of business in the mid '90's. The last owner still has a few clocks available on the web at their Virginia outlet. Emperior made kits, and sold complete clocks. The problem is I can't find any reference to one built like this one with the moon phase, second hand, and the chimes being 9 tuned brass tubes. I don't think this one is a kit as it's too nicely finished, and the only time I find any other makers clocks like this one the dang prices are up in the $12,000 to $23,000 dollar range. I don't think this one is up in that catagory, but it does have all the buttons and whistles...

    Thanks for the offer Mike, but I think I'm gonna keep it a bit longer.....

    I like clocks. Not so much that I have walls covered with them, but I do appreciate nice ones. I've always wanted one of the Grandfather Clocks, but they were always way beyond my budget. Welll.... I played hooky from church and went to an estate auction last Sunday. I went to bid on some nautical Brass Lanterns for the biz., and they had a couple of rifles that I thought I'd take a run at. They also had this really good looking grandfather, but I figured it would go via the way of all the others, and sell for too much money. Long story short, I got the lanterns, a really nice hall mirror, passed on the rifles...they went for way more than they were worth, and the grandfather... Ended up getting it for $175 bucks... and it works. Even the wife likes it, after I got up enough nerve to tell her about it... Attached is a pic. Curious if anyone else has a grandfather clock.??

    Keeping it simple, like stated above '86-'93, also refereed to as MkII's. '83-'85's are MkI's. The closer to '93 and the lower miles the better. Anything in an '85 over serial # 1413 has an interesting set up in that they have the stronger second gear, larger trunk, and all 3 pieces of luggage are key lock removable. Kinda the best of both worlds...
