    WOW!! I think I'll need to take a look at it when I go to Sam's again.... Sounds like they've improved them a bunch....

    I met Tim a few years back when he worked for H&R Block and had his Red VR up for sale. Nice guy, but what a mess the VR was in. Calipers off and zip tied to the front forks because they didn't work. Cracked plastic everywhere. And he rode it down from Placerville for me to look at. Needless to say we had a nice chat and he rode the bike home. He does take care of his Busa. The Alaska article he posted on the web was insturmental in getting me really involved in Ventures as it's a dream of mine to do the same trip.

    The 1stGen pickin's have been a little slim on Ebay lately due to the time of the year....and probably the economy... Things will pick up as we get closer to riding season. Most sellers get disgruntled spending money on listing fees and not getting any results. If I had an extra Bob it would be yours...

    I donno...?? For really bad caked on oil and road dirt crud I use a can of carb cleaner. Blows that stuff off quick. However, if you get too agressive in an area it will start to soften the clear coat on the block, but for bare aluminum have at it.... It may not be perfect, but works for me...

    SQUEEZE!!! That's what I like about you... Your dry..tongue in cheek...technical type humor... I think?? .. And the need to get in the last inquisitive word.. I'm not like that at all.

    Wonder how many of the Silvers they made??? After poking around on the net, I think this one is a 2000, and if I ever got the antzy's to buy one I'd make sure it's with the S&S motor like the one pictured. I think the company might have sealed it's own fate by thinking they could produce a better engine themselves......

    No, you had to bring up that CW CCW stuff. I'll let you figure it out.... My yard is 80' wide, but I don't see where it has anything to do with a right or wrong side.... Are you hanging out with those folks in the Bahamas???

    You can ask them, but I don't think you're going to get a straight answer..... Terrible????

    According to the Coriolis force they're upside down and confused....

    WHINING????? :rotf:

    Yeah, but they do drive on the wrong side of the road.....

    Nope, that one goes directly to the battery and serves as the motor ground, as the bolt screws into the motor block. Individual accessories run seperate grounds off the negative side of the fuse block. While you're messing around with it take it off and clean up the contact surfaces.

    No Squeeze. Rather than go into a long response, Here's a link that will give you an idea, but basically it increases RAM.

    OK..........

    Wow, I thought someone would have piped in with the answer by now??? Anyway the battery ground wire connects directly to a bolt in the waterpump area just inside the plastic 'L' coolant connector.

    I hope it's more like a high-R howl... I like a good howl.....

    Battery chargers

    Condor replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    You're absolutely right, however all AGMs take a lower charge voltage to keep from gassing. Not all things are equal, and neither are the chargers.....

    WHINING????? :rotfl:

    Yeah, it's irritating, ain't it?. You can live with it, or pull the baffles out by cutting a flap in the top and getting in there with a needlenose. Then weld the collector back up and you're good to go. Doesn't hurt a thing.....

    That's only in the Northern Hemisphere..........:rotf:

    Maybe increase your virtual memory size?? Sounds like you're not able to buffer enough ahead to give the vids an even playback??? I've also found that cleaning out the saved webpage history helps make some room....

    They're gonna discontinue them after next year George....... Let's hope the new 1800cc V-4 only screams when the R's are high.....

    I feel your pain LOL :rotfl:

    Battery chargers

    Condor replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    I use a Private Label smart charger from West Marine that has 2-10-15amp charge rates. Paid about $60 bucks for it.... wholesale.... then saw the same charger at SAM'S Club (different brand, same charger) for $49 retail with a starting circut. That's boating for ya.... Anyway I did a google search for the CTEK and noticed when reading some of the text that it's made for a lead acid battery. Odysseys are an AGM/Dry. Anyway, you might look into the SAM'S charger. I've been using my WM for about 4 years now and it's a dandy..... One nice thing about the CTEK 800 is it's size, and it could be stowed in a saddlebag for travel emergencies, but for what you get it's over priced.
