We used to ride when it was around 10 celius, even did it at 4 to 6. As we got older the temps seem to have an effect on things so slowly the range has been decreasing. Now it's 20-22 or better and please not at 30. This year I only went for IC once and my wife didn't even ride once... such is life.

Got his orders from the devil. There really is a battle going on that we can't really see except in the results. That battle has been going on since day 1 and will soon be over. The King is coming!

I bet they both have been watching videos and noticed the CanAm has come out with a Spyder and they are discussing if it will mean total demise for the likes of them.

Copy cat,,, I was first!!

Can you buy me a set and then drop them off on your next trip around this way?

Ride it to get it warmed up, leave it running and get a propane torch that has propane in it. Open the torch valve but do not light it. No go around the intake with the propane torch and see if there is any change in the engine. If not, an intake leak can be ruled out, if there is a change then you have a leak and needs to be addressed.

Can't remember if the 2nd gen has linked brakes, so the front left with the rear. If they do you can find lots of air in the line going through the triple tree. There will be a bleeder screw there.

Sounds like an intake leak.

Good story,,, take care of it well!

If it's anything like the 1st gen, then the coil position relates to the cylinder position. Front coil to front cylinder.

Now that's a Harley!!

I've been impressed with Deka, but the Deka label is often under the sellers label.

Try Firestck on Amazon.

Can you trade back iffin it doesn't fit you?

So where is this going to be held Phil?

Yep, there are handle bars, a seat under your but, throttle to twist, air in your face, invisible on the road and an eye to the sky or rain clouds. The rest is different. The lean is different, steering is different, cornering has a learning curve, wind can come from your back and make the flags fly forward,,,, but once learned you'll be surprised at the wonderment of it all.

Glad you made the trip and got back safely. It's a once in a lifetime experience at your age. Thanks for sharing.

B2Dad had a heart of gold, he will be missed.

Times are a-changen.

I can make it the 21st through the 29, and then after the long weekend. I have some things that will get in the way of course but I'm home between those dates.

Probably goes away when you straighten the bike up as well. Normal.

My guess is that there would be slightly more on the front than on the rear.

IMHO there should be a washer between the gear and the aluminum case

yah, ABS cement not the best option and the process and prep work is also important.

We are at that point as well, sold the trailer and the 86, now it's just the Spyder to sell. 2014 asking 15k.
