    I just looked up the part numbers for the rebuild kits and the 83 took 23LW0041-00-00 and the 91 took 4H7-W0041-50-00. Looks to be the same rebuild kits, but I don't know for sure because I can't locate the thread explaining how to read a part number. Thought I had saved it...?? Old age I guess...

    I didn't know there was a difference between the 83-85 and 86-93 masters. Learn something new everyday.... I thought that becasue the pistons on the 86-93 front calipers were smaller, that the masters were the same, and that the better braking came from more pad contact with the rotor. Now I've gotta go figure out which spares I have??? I wonder if the braking could be improved by putting 86-93 masters on a 83-85??

    Bob, I think Cecil is refering to the later 1stGen 100mm calipers like you're planning to do, and I don't think he'll have any problem using the 85 masters with the 86-93 calipers.....

    After 36years it might be full of gremlins??? I spray mine with carb cleaner every once in a while to wash those little suckers out.

    Geeze!! Got your Guardian Bell installed???

    I think??...but not positive.. that the ME's may have the gold Indian Head on the side of the tank, and the shift linkage is a golden arrow. I noticed in one of your pics the gold head, but couldn't get a good look at the shifter linkage. I've seen both motors (OEM and S&S) for sale, and I think it may have been an option??. Good lookin' bike in those picks except that last one... I think I've seen it before. Street Vibes...maybe??

    For the Whisler GPS I just made one out of that cardboard backing they use on memo pads. Cut it to size and sprayed it with black Plasti-Dip. Attached it with velcro. I'd take a pic.... but I can't find it... It's around here somewhere..just saw it a couple of days ago....???

    Geeze the page didn't even mention F11. What's with that....????

    Yes they will. '86 and up had the four piston calipers with the wider 100mm bolt pattern.

    Thanks for the link Tom. I may have to try one of those. Right now I'm using a Linksys antennaless router, and the signal get's a little weak from the remote office. If I remember it ran about $30 bucks at Sam's Club. I guess you get what you pay for... The only time I can pick up an 'excellent' connection is when I'm sitting on top of it. Although 'very good' seems to be working for the most part out here. I'd just like a better signal.

    Very pretty piece of "s***t...."

    If memory serves me correctly the bike was dismantled by a Reno MC Boneyard and some of the parts ended up on Verminelli's Yellow VR up in Carson City. So it's serving a purpose and still lives on.... http://www.pashnit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13694

    Kit, if you ever have a chance to pick up this book I'd highly recommend it. It deals with marine application, but it can be applied to just about any 12volt system. I bought one 20 years ago and have wired and rewired more big boats than I care to admit, and probably would have spent most of that time screwing things up if I hadn't read it. i have several others but nothing holds a candle to this one. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516XCJXBDGL._SS500_.jpg

    That smell might have been Butyl cleaner. It's the same stuff in 409 and a bunch of others. Just add a color...orange, purple, green... and pick a name. They all work. You can mix concentrate 1oz.:128oz.(1 gal.) as in 409, or stronger. It's all chemical warfare..... and a money making product. I used to buy the concentrate for about $30 bucks a gal. That's 512 qts. of 409 @ what?? 4-5 bucks a bottle retail. You do the math.

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