As long as you have enough room under the jacket to let the down loft up it'll work great. The warmth comes from the trapped dead air in the down. Cold will penetrate thru seams unless the vest is built with baffles. Down doesn't have a lot of insulating ability when compressed.

2nd Gens are great bikes. Heck, some of my best friends ride 2nd Gens. I used to ride a 2nd Gen. Took it to an IMS show, and parked it in the free MC area filed mostly with HD’s. Came out and tried to find it, but couldn't see it among all the Harleys. Spent the rest of the day waiting for the lot to clear, and when it finally did all that was left was an old stock shovelhead with a flat tire. Grabbed a taxi and went home. Bought a 1stGen and now have no trouble telling it from all the Gold Wings. The 1st is a much classier looking bike….. :whistling::whistling::whistling: :rotf:

BUMP!!!

I tried this company to order a T just before Ft Collins. Very pleased with what I received. The silk screening was perfect, and the quality of the shirt was high end. I can't stand a company that uses a thin materialed cheap T-shirt to save a few bucks. I want the shirt to last a while.

Yeah, I dont know what happened?? Anyway it's been corrected in the original post, and here it is again ODYSSEY Thanks for the heads up Todd.

I just put out the inquirey Dan. If we miss it by one I'm gonna tell on ya.... Dan if we don't make it you'll get your money back. I don't see where there's a problem, but that's fine if you don't want on the list.

See POST in watering Hole.

I started a thread earlier today in the tech talk section, just to see if we could get enough interest in a group battery buy. I intended on holding off until after the 1st as the supplier was going to have a price increase and it would start to be confusing...for me at least... Anyway I've had enough interest that just maybe we can get a group together in short order. Here's the deal. Let's see if we can put a list of 10 together and beat the dead line. All the batteries will need to be paid for to my Paypal account paypal@cast-aways.com before I can order due to the cost incurred. If we don't get the 10, I'll refund your payments, and we'll start over as planned after the first. For 1stGens the Odyssey is PC680. Your price each to your doorstep will be $99.00. For 2ndGens the Odyssey is PC545. Your price each to your doorstep will be $94.00. These prices work out to be Dealer cost plus $15 bucks to cover shipping and paypal charges. So.... we have the rest of tonight (Wednesday) and tomorrow (Thursday) to put this puppy together. Due to time restrictions for Canadian members, go ahead and use the prices above, and I'll notify you later about any extra shipping charges. We're off and running, and I'll edit this post with the number of batteries. PAID BATTERY COUNT....... 5 We're half way there as of 2:00PST This is your last chance to get them before the 2008 prices kick in. And if your hesitant just because you just picked up a wet battery, these puppies will hold a charge on the shelf until your current battery croaks....which should be fairly soon....

Following your last thread I think it might be a little to late Dan. Oh hell, lets try to put an order of 10 batteries together before the end of the year. I'm going to post the anouncement in the watering hole and see if we can get 10 members.... Stay tuned. It's gonna be tight.....

Now it is the Carb!

I'd say you did what you needed to do. I this case the bike ran great and started great with the second set, and then gradually got worse over time. That's why I suspect the plugged jets. All the diaphrams in both sets were 100% to the good. If nothing else rears it's ugly head, it's gotta be the jets. Especially since all of them are plugged. I'll post a complete report on my findings when I have time to play with the '87 again. I have a sonic cleaner and will probably dip each carb. -
I'm not building a list just yet Jeff. Just trying to find out if there's enough interest. Once you get the batt you can do anything you'd like to with it..... If there is enough I'll start another thread.

6 kids'll do that to ya. We've raised 8 so that's my excuse.....

Geeze, thought I was being Civil.... Hey I used imocons.....

OK, it seems that we as a group are buying quite a few Odyssey batteries, and I thought I'd toss out this idea on doing a group buy like we've done in the past. I called the Westcoast distributor for Odyssey, and because I've bought directly from them in the past my business is already set up as a dealer even though I've only bought for personal use. They are going to have a price increase right after the first so I can't quote prices yet, but can after the first. There's no way we could put together a group order in only a couple of days. Sorry I didn't think of this sooner...??? The group buy price will be based on 10 units minimum, and any mix of the PC680MJ (1stGen) or PC545 (2ndGen) batteries. There's also a question of a possible drop ship directly from the distributor which could save a few more bucks over all. More on that later. So, is there any interest from the board?? If not, that's OK, just thought I'd ask....

Another 2ndGen halucinating........ :rotf:

Didn't see anything worth while...... All second gen stuff that looks like something a Harley rider would wear......

Holy Moly!! That was the longest discription I think I've ever seen for an Ebay auction. Looked like the guy had the intire catalog listed. Are these guys so hard up, or cheap, that they can't go thru regular selling venues?? What ever happened to the private individual Ebay seller???
-
On my 1stGen the PC680 came close to fitting, but I still had to shim up the sides with sheet styrofoam to fill the voids, and it is about a half inch taller. Works dandy. One thing I noticed different between the old Yuasa and the Odyssey is the Odyssey weighs twice as much as the old batt even though it has a smaller footprint. The best prices seem to be on Ebay. I checked with my local battery supplier and his price was about $25 bucks higher than Ebay sellers and sales tax on top of that. Ebay sellers generally include shipping and don't charge sale tax.

Most of these wheely riders do it to be disrespectfull. Unfortunately they just happen to be doing it on a bike. They're of the same mindset as those that tag walls, cage race on the freeway, smoke tires at intersections.... etc. Notice they always do it when they can remain anonymous. It gives them a sense of power over others, and a disregard for the law. Why? Because they don't have any in their regular mediocre lives. No different that these kids running around with their baggy pants and their ass hanging out. They do it because they know it bugs you. Laugh at them and maybe they'll go away?? My 2¢

I should have added in that last post that the slides are fluttering like they should. I think it's more along the plugged jet line. I'll know later this summer when I have time to get into it further. Right now with 4 Bikes to feed it's a priority thing..... -
Yeesh!!, been gone for 6 months and already startin' that y'all stuff.....
