    OK Buddy...your trunk is built better than a Harley. There...feel better???

    Check with Lone Eagle about doing a Harley trunk. If I had a choice I'd do the Harley. A lot bigger than the OEM RSV. And better built.

    Gonna have to give that stuff a try.....

    How in the world did you do that?? I'd check and make sure there isn't more damaged than just the screw..... Maybe replace the whole assembly off a used set??? You can find 'ugly' carb sets on Ebay for $40-$50 bucks if it comes to that.

    Too bad you're stuck on the East Coast. It's gonna be tough excaping the humidity, winters, or heat. But if you do Prescott AZ might be a consideration. Mild winters, mild summers...yeah I know it's in Az, but it's up in the mountains..., and low humidity. Here's a weather read out. http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?azpres

    No problem on the address. Half the world knows it already... The home of the Venture project.. Around here you have to be half-way decent in backing up a trailer. The back yard looks like an RV parking lot. WE'll get it in...

    I finally got around to looking at the '91 and tracking down the left side engine oil leak. I've been thinking about taking it on VWIV, and time was getting short. All sorts of worst case senerios were running thru my brain. The biggest was having to pull the exaust collector just to find out where ithe leak was actually coming from. I also planned on installing a set of MACs that I'd been sitting on since the first group buy. First thing and easiest thing first tho. I went and pulled the middle gear cover. It looked like fresh oil had been leaking out of the bottom drain screw. Not positive, but it could be..?? The gasket didn't come off in one piece so I went ahead and cleaned both surfaces, put on a new gasket, replaced the copper washer, and lo-and behold it stopped leaking....I hope. :fingers crossed The leak was pretty agressive, and the collector smoked like crazy when warmed up. After doing the fix I let it idle for quite a while and so far so good. Not a single drop of oil has hit the pavement under the bike. It hasn't gotten really warm yet, but there's hope...

    Brian, I see that your route map takes you into downtown Sacramento. Not neccessary. Here's a link to a Google Map that'll get you from Reno to my front door. It's gotta glitch that I can't seem to get rid of on ElkHorn/Greenback exit off I-80. Disregard the 'U' turn thing and just turn right on Garfield and follow the blue line... Also the address to the gate for back yard storage is 2600 Arboretta Ct. 95608. It's a cull-de-sac that ends in my back yard. Easy turn around. That's where you want to go. My street is a dead-end, and a PITA to turn a trailer around.

    When I pulled my basket the first time I used an air/impact. Spun the nut right off. Put it back on while holding the basket rim with a towel and torqued it to specs.

    Could very well be their way to rattle the cage to get people to buy up the last remaining '08 cruisers to make room for a redesigned 2010 cruiser. As far as I'm concerned it's all hype, smoke, and mirrors... I also find it very hard to believe that they are hanging their economic hat on their big bike sales when there were very few on display in their dealer network, instead of pointing their finger at the world economy. Something's not right..... But hey it's their company. They can do what ever they dam well please...

    I'm gonna buy one.... As soon as that widow in Nigeria sends me the check for $4 million and I get it cashed.

    Here's the last 8 '84's that have sold on Ebay. I think you'll notice that milage is king... 16K.........$3850 94K.........$1825 30K.........$2763 12K.........$4500 35K.........$1500 32K.........$2100 4K.........$5,500 94K.........$2600 The selling price is always arbitrary, but if you toss out the 35K/$1500, in so-so condition, it probably would be safe to say between $2200-$2500 for a mid milage '84 in decent condition with second gear still intact.

    Nope.... Things are still cool. I called last week to see what the status was on the order and they haven't gotten back to me yet...

    I have an extra set of MACs available if anyone would be interested. PM me.

    About 10 years ago I ran all over the west with a radar detector clipped to my visor in the truck. Never even got a 'howdy' from a LEO. I did take a trip back east in 89 and the only place I took it down was in Virginia, and they had a warning posted at the state line. It may have been illegal to even have one in the vehicle, but I guess I missed all the radar check stations... I even had it up and on in DC, and no body even blinked. So, Brian, bring it along. Mine has saved my bacon quite a few times.

    Thanks for the heads up AL. From past experience I'll plan on getting them toward the middle of the month....

    I remember reading a discussion about that some time ago.. Maybe it was pre-crash. Can't remember what the outcome was...but hey I'm lucky I can remember anything... Anyway I'm sure one of the wiring guru's on here will chime in with the difference.....

    I down shift, but I guess I'm different when it comes to sitting at a long red light. If it's gonna be short I'll leave it in gear, but if I'm sitting there for a while I'll put it in neutral, and in 50 years I've never felt the need to 'excape' somewhere by the threat of being rear ended... But then again I'm not much of a night rider so I might feel differently about the situation if visibility were a potential problem....

    Glad to hear you and the Mrs. came out out of the bender with just a few bruses. It coulda been a lot worse. I wish you luck trying to find a fairing for that scoot. I've been looking for a matching right hand upper in that color combo for 6-7 months now. It's a tough paint as the black and dark gray have small blue flecks in the base coat. Almost impossible to match. If you do end up parting it out, give me a shout, I wanna talk to you about the trunk....
