    If time is a concern i would go to Walmart and buy a roll of their amber tape desgned for temporary fixes for signal lights. And you maybe be able to use packing tape to secure the windshield depending on how bad the crack is. I might run some heavy duty plastic cement into the cracks on windshield and then tape over top until you can find a new windshield. Be careful though, you dont want to have pieces of the windshield coming back at you at hiway speed. Brian

    There is an issue with the wires getting corroded in the cap of the coil. maybe ensure the wires are tight and that the wires are connected and clean. If the wires are old try some new ones, they arent that expensive, especially compared to trying to find a TCI. Brian

    wow this bike has the fatboy tires on front and rear. I am having trouble seeing how you would even ride this, but some are saying with the bigger footprint on the road it will handle better. http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/08/pl_motor_jafm/ Whaddya think? pretty different huh? Brian

    yeah, thats how I see it. Although i have gotten lucky and taken the cover off a drive and gave it a spin by hand to start and then the motor was powerful enough then to keep it running until i got my info off. I wouldnt try this with anything valuable though, it was just a try-it and see-if-it-can be done thing with non critical info. Check around,i seem to remember a place here in Canada that will wont charge you unless they get your info off the drive, BUT they aint cheap when they get it. Brian Brian

    Yeah, i would hate to see you cook something electronic just beacuse you dont have a 5 dollar inline fuse in. I wouldnt wait until i got home, it could fry and leave you stranded. brian

    well, right away here, lets get you some manuals....follow this link and you can download the manual for your bike here. I would also burn it to Cd so you can leave it in the bike for when you travel or go to a shop. http://labs.trunkful.com/vrmanuals/index.cfm I cant remember the layout on my dash so I will look it up and repost here when i find it.

    I got an email from Rick and Nina late last week cancelling the meetup in Biggar Sk that we were going to do last week. They were trying to do the camping thing but the weather over most of Western Canada and especially over the prairies here has been almost record cold and we set a record for rainfall for September by the 5th of the month. So Rick and Nina decided to rent a car when they got to Calgary and continue the rest of the trip to visit Ninas mom. They were headed back to Calgary Sunday and back on the bike hoping for warmer weather to continue there camping trip back home over the next couple of days. Dont worry, i am sure youll hear from Rick soon......lol.....we ALWAYS do!!! Brian

    It looks great, but they dont show the trunk or tops of the side bags. Most of the 85s ive seen have the clear coat peeling. But it looks like it would be a nice ride for anyone if it runs as good as it looks. I didnt see the VIN to check and see if it was made after the 2nd gear issue was fixed. The ad says engine size 1300cc,,,,need to see the side of the engine case to see if someone swapped out thr engine or if the dealer doesnt know his stuff. Brian
