    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and I hope you all have good weather for anyone travelling, but I am sad that we are in the middle of a snowstorm warning for Regina and all points southeast in Saskatchewan. The weather guys are forecasting up to 20 cm (8 In) in places........Its WAY TOO EARLY FOR SNOW!!!!!! Brian

    the company I bought mine from are in Canada so your shipping and taxes would be different but mine was 75 bucks all shipping and taxes included. The fellows name is Bob Hagerman with Huntingdon Technical. they didnt have any adapters made when i wrote him , but in 2 days he did up a couple and had them on the way. He will send you diagrams and pics if you ask. Very nice guy to deal with so far. huntech2006@yahoo.ca Brian

    heres the info I got with the adapter i bought a few days ago from Huntington in Canada Thanks for bidding on this product. This unit will allow the use of several spin-on oil filters on your Yamaha Venture. Installation is simple: remove the original filter canister. Make sure there is nothing inside the center tube of the adapter that might get into the engine. Make sure the adapter’s o-ring is in place. Then spin the adapter into the hole for the original bolt. The best way to tighten the filter is with a pin -wrench such as used to install the disc on a disc-grinder. Otherwise place a pin, punch, or philips screw- driver into one of the holes and use a large flat screw-driver or other bar type tool to turn the adapter. ( see illustration) BE SURE TO PROTECT THE THREADS DURING THIS PROCESS. Tighten till you have firm metal to metal contact with the engine. About 20 ft-lb of torque should do. DONT OVER DO IT, ALUMINUM THREADS ARE SOFT, AND YOURS HAVE BEEN USED FOR A LONG TIME. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH THE FILTER SEATING SURFACE. Then screw in one of the following filters: Fram numbers are used for reference, any equivalent brand will work. Fram ph2951, ph3600, ph3614, or ph2870a, ph4967. K&N HP1001, 1002 or 1003. I use the 3614. Quaker state numbers are the same as Fram. NOTE: Goldwing 1500 filters will screw onto the adapter, but are a sloppy fit and will likely strip causing catastrophic leakage. DO NOT USE HONDA FILTERS!!!!!! Note: Some filters come with teflon additive inside. This may be OK for automobiles but the Goldwing has a wet clutch. Teflon may cause clutch slippage. TIP: Clean all oil off the engine where the o-ring will seat. Do not lubricate the o-ring. You want the adapter to stick. DO lube the oil filter seal ring, you want to get it off again. this adapter is designed for filters with a ¾-16 thread, and a seal outer diameter of 3 inches or less, Inside diameter of the seal ring should not be less than 1.85 inches. Any of the filters on the front page will fit, as well as many others. Since the Fram 3614 seems most commonly available (in North America) I have recommended it for that reason, as it is a suitable size for the purpose. The Fram 3614 or its equivalent in other brands, (take your pick) is used by Chrysler, GM, Toyota , Suzuki and Saab as well as other Automobile manufacturers. For your convenience you may ask for a filter for Chevrolet Metro 1.0 or 1.3 litre 1999 Pontiac Firefly Chrysler 2000 Chrysler Cyrrus 2.4L 1989 Daytona 2.5 or 2.5 1990 Daytona 3L 1989 LeBaron 2.2 or 2.5 2003 PT Cruiser 1990 Dodge Caravan 1995 Neon 1998 Saab 2.0 litre Toyota 1992-2005 Camry 3.0 2002 Celica 1.8 2007 Highlander 1987-1995 Pickup 1998-2007 Sienna 1995-2007 Tacoma Note: A filter with a 20mm thread will go on this adapter, but the threads engage by a mere .012 inch (0.3 mm) or less. It is likely that the threads will strip allowing the filter to become loose, resulting in rapid loss of oil. This includes the Goldwing 1500 filter, and likely any “Motorcycle filter”. I believe most motorcycle filters have metric threads. DO NOT USE FILTERS WITH 20MM THREADS!!! More filters with ¾-16 thread: ACDelco #PF1233 AMSOil SMF 122 / 133/134c/135/108 (134c is chrome plated) Baldwin BT223, Baldwin B1413, Bosch 3330 EMGO 10-26740 Fram PH6022, PH6065A, PH6016, PH6063 Hastings LF576, LF157, LF134 K&N KN-171C , Mobil1 M1-102, NAPA 1348 Purolator ML16822, L10241 , L20064, PL25230, L14610, L14612 Hi-Flo # HF170C (chrome plated) Brian

    A good friend of mine put a 500 buck deposit on the new VMAX a couple of weeks ago and the local dealer called him back a couple of days later to say he had to refund his deposit as the dealership couldnt get any more VMAX's this year! I dont understand why the dealer might not want to hunt one down for my friend, but they are known for being lazy.... I dunno whether to beleive this dealer as he has told some tall tales before..... personally I dont deal with him, I will drive 30 minutes to Moose Jaw and deal with a real dealer. So what I really wanna know is, are the new VMAX's really sold out? Brian

    I am not a paint guy, just a car guy from way back and Ive used a clay bar that you buy at any automotive store. Ive used it to clean off tar, tree sap and lots of other stuff, so i think it will work with tiny droplets of paint too. Sposed to be safe for all paints, but better wait for the paint guys to chime in here. (I did use it to clean small droplets of paint off my scoots front fender after i bought the bike, and it worked fine on my 85 1st gen.) Brian

    It doesnt matter with UPS or Fedex they just track the number all the way to destination, with USPS there is a handoff done at Customs and then the items are tracked at the Canada post website using same number. Brian
