That’s no excuse. Just a hop, skip, and jump.

Week after next, October 10 - 15th, my wife and I have a houseboat rented out of Lee's Ford Marina. I am taking my fishing boat with me. It's nothing fancy but will do fine. About a 16 1/2 ft. Smokercraft with a 50 HP Mercury. Fish finders, trolling motor, etc. Do we have any members who are in that area who can show me where to catch fish on Cumberland? I've Been there several times on the houseboats but haven't fished the lake. If you are in the area and would like to go fishing a couple of days, shoot me a private message or post here. I'm sure we will dock somewhere on the lake not terribly far from the Marina but I can pick you up at the dock any morning you are available. I don't care what kind of fishing we do. Striper, Bass, Crappie, even Catfish. I'm open to any and all. Just tell me what you want to go after and what kind of baits I should bring. We are actually arriving on the 10th but won't have much time for fishing that first day so let's say the 11th - 14th. If you can't go but have suggestions on where to fish, especially somewhere close to Lee's Ford, I welcome your suggestions.

It all depends on whether you like looking through the shield or ever the top. You will get less buffeting with the Clearview due to it being wider. If you get the large, you will definitely be looking through it. That can be a problem if you get stuck in the rain and can't see over the top. As for the tint, I always went with their light or medium tint. Had no problems riding at night.

In my experience, the biggest things will be the age of the tires, if they are original or even replace early on, they are likely way out of date and will need to be changed. The next thing is the carbs. Unless it has been stored very well, they will likely have to be gone through. Jets may well be gummed up, floats may be sticking, etc. Then as you said, the fluids will need to be changed. Coolant hoses and etc. may or may not be bad. If it has been sitting a long time and even if it hasn't been, the rear shock may be leaking oil. A lot of them had the seals go bad even when not sitting. There is a member here who can rebuild it cheap or maybe even tell you how to do it. They are great bikes and if it's in good shape, will be worth the effort if the price is right.
