    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.

    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...

    I bought a 3 bottle kit about a year ago, and then let it sit.... I do that a lot... Anyway I had to rebearing the front axle last month, and figured what the heck and added Ride-On to the front tire. I'm not sure if it was the new bearings or the Ride-On, but the tire seems to roll smoother, and the viabration wasn't as pronounced in the grips. The rear tire is about ready to be replaced, so it's getting it as well.

    With Anti's you can't apply them, then take your foot off, and then re-apply. They'll feel like there's nothing there. Unfortunately those of us that have been around a few years have developed our own anti-skid system, and it sure can get you in trouble when using anti-locks. I like the idea of anti-locks for nothing more than to keep the rear tire from locking up and the bike high siding. Now that can get painfull....

    That also happened to my '83, only it was the rear gasket/baffle that was holding the float down again the sensor. The reserve is a PITA to get to, so I took a bent piece of coat hanger and lifted the baffle portion up a bit. Problem solved. I know I didn't get it folded back up perfectly, but good enough to get rid of the sporadic warning light.

    There's a couple of different bracket designs that move the MkI trunks back a few inches. Jeff (Muffinman) sent me a set a couple of years back that were Z shaped for the MkI. Since the trunk is removable it's a matter of moving the whole mounting rack back with 4 small brackets. With the non-removable MkII's there's more to it and the brackets need to fit between the trunk and rack. If you do a search we had a thread going a couple of months ago on the project.

    I see different types on Ebay occasionally. Some are well engineered, and some others are pretty cheesy looking... Nice sets bring big bucks.
