    Finally got the 91VR home this afternoon. There was some question about the black/gray paint scheme being the original color. I thought it was probably a repaint since evey other 91 I've seen....I think??... is dk.blue on lt.blue. So tell me what you think... The tag on the frame member is gone so I couldn't get the manufacture date. The bike still needs a lot of TLC, but nothing that can't be handled. I think it might have been a Venture Line display bike with all the chrome hanging off of it. The only ding in the plastic is below the right mirror. Luckly it's in the black paint and easy to repair and touch up. I'm looking forward to making it a show piece. Corbin seat and backrest, chrome radiator cover, polished out risers and passenger floorboards, polished out engine covers, woodgrained dash and ignition cover, and lots of Lemon Pledge. Engine runs strong, and brakes and clutch are good. WoooHooo!!!!

    There's gotta be something wrong with that..... $3000 for a pull behind MC trailer??? Heck I bought my used 26' Terry travel trailer with Forced air heat and AC/ Fridge/ micro/oven/ stereo/ etc.ect. for $4500 in mint condition. Somewhere along the line this pull behind trailer pricing thing has gotten outta wack........ Somebody's laughing all the way to the bank....with a mask on.....

    I have a Markland I picked up from Squidly about a year ago for $65 bucks that I no longer have a need for if anyone's interested. You'll have to make the side struts out of flat stock. Supposed to fit the 83-85.

    Instead of copying the Markland hitch with the flat mounting plate and permanently mounted ball, ask if he could design one with a receiver. The '91VR I'm picking up tomorrow has a receiver so it can be done. I'll take pics of it and post if anyone's interested.....

    A hundred years ago they would have hung the SOB. Now days they send them to a shrink to find their inner soul, understanding, and put them on welfare. The really sad part is they survive and reproduce....

    Never got one pop up. ??? But then I couldn't navagate anywhere either. I think the thing is designed more for the sports tourer than for a bagger. What a pain trying to get the thing on and off the bike.....

    Yep. there's an ebay seller who has been running 1stGen Jardine's for about the last 6 months or so. He probably bought out the remainder of Jardine's stock. Lists them one at a time. You might try contacting him about picking up a set directly. They usually sell for around $250 a set.

    Eck. Didn't realize you were becoming a first gen parts source also. Good on ya'...... Kinda a lost and found operation..???

    Mike, our family did Alaska last year in May. Went on the MercuryX a Celebrity Cruise Ship for 7 days. They're kinda 'old style' cruising and your Mom may like that. Same time for dinner, same table members. Most of the towns visited are smallish and fairly easy to get around in. If your looking for a little more excitement I'd recommend taking Norwegian Cruise Lines freestyle. Lot's more to do on board, many different eating venues. We did the Caribian on NCL about 4 years ago and had a blast. You don't need to go thru a travel agent as all cruise lines are set up to book on line and have a wealth of info on their sites.

    I'd wait until next april or may to head this direction Lowell. Nice time ofthe year. Keep watching to see if we get a VWIV planned. We've got a few ride ideas that we'll be talking about this coming Sat. at a M&E. If ya ever get to Sac gimme a call.

    Dan... You wanna define start!!!! Synthetic oil is a waste of money... Fram oil filters are great... K&N's aren't worth the money. Premium gas is better than regular. There...that aught to keep things cookin'.....:whistling:

    Piggy Backer puts them on their trailers. You might give them a call to see if they'd sell one barefoot??
  15. Condor
    The revised plan is to open the bridge in late 2010 Lowell, and you know how those completion date keeping getting punched into the future.... But when it gets close the ride sounds like a plan.....

    They mention the sluggish economy. They'd better hold on to their shorts, it's gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets any better. Harley is sitting in a very precarious position. Full inventory pipelines, reluctance of dealers to order, and the buying public not having the confidence to purchase anything that isn't an absolute neccesity. Competition is gonna get tough.......

    Looks great Brad. How much is that al-you-min-e-um model weigh?
  18. Condor
    HA!! Well this thread went to he11 and a hand basket..... Looks like a whole lotta work to make. What about some matching fork protectors??

    Finally got it to play. That's one Bad A$$ sounding V4. Whew!!!
  20. Condor
    Yep, dat's dem. It looks like they only come with the rt. angle mounts, and not stand alone, and probably the only way to get them barefoot would be to contact Kuryakyn directly. Thanks, Eck
  21. Condor
    Thanks ECK- I did a search on just about every word combination of Anti-etc. on the Kuryakyn site and nothing, so I guess Dray's right. I don't need a replacement, but was curious as to what they were called. I think they look kinda cool and dress up the magnum clamps a bit.

    Thanks for the explanation as to where that thing should be set Randy. There has been a lot of posts to the effect that it needs to be set 'on', but I've never seen...until now... anything that explained where ON was. Maybe there has been other posts, but I haven't seen them... I can't believe Yamaha didn't put some sort of arrow and on/off labels on the housing.

    You might want to post this in the classfieds section where all the rest of the 1stGens are listed......

    Bad guage maybe??? I just put in Rotella 15-40 myself and the motor doesn't seem to be any noisier than with any other fresh oil I've used. I donno, maybe these motors are designed for high voluum/low oil pressure?? I'm sure someone with a heck of a lot more knowledge about this will chime in.....
  25. Condor
    George, I didn't know that!!! Interesting. Here's one I found on Craigslist out in Stockton. I know it's not a current year, but it sounds like it's pristeen. Do a google search for and you'll get hit's from all over the US. Ebay ain't the only place to find nice second gens.... And don't forget to dicker...
