The best steak I ever ate was from a bear that my friend killed when it tried to break in his front door in New Hampshire , I never thought they could be that tasty.

I have done alot to the bike since I purchased it for 700$ and the last was this weekend I flushed the cooling system and was going to replace the thermostat until I found out what it entailed, but I did a 75 mile shake down cruise in 94 degree weather and stopped at West marine and picked up a weather proof 12v adapter to charge my cell and other things. I found the best place for me to mount it which is convenient and a short run to the battery so I am ready for the ride to Vogel, let me know if I forget anything since I am at the age were if it is not on a post it note I forget....

Ok it has now been a couple of days and I am done for now. I changed the fluids exept for the radiator which I plan on doing my next days off, new sneakers front and back and a trailer hitch that I got from a nice member from here and found some unexpected things from the po that I fixed, I did have a problem with the bike falling over when I went to put the back tire on but good thing it fell on the grass side of the driveway now I am definitely ready to do the tail of the dragon........now I need to wash off all the greasy paw prints and shine it up.

I bought this 86 a few months ago for the bigger bags and sold my 84 now I can say I hate the 86. I went to make it tip top so I can make it to Vogel this summer with new tires oil and filter changes and new front springs with a trailer hitch. The things I have to unbolt and take off to do simple maintenance compared to my 84 is killing me I sometimes wish for my 84 back, I need help...lol

I posted a thread here a little while ago asking if someone sold them and I received no reply.

Just to let people know that are thinking of upgrading to IE 9 a lot of web sites are not compatible with it yet so I would wait a little while until they catch up before upgrading. Tom

I am going to camp out at the Cabbage Patch for bike week this weekend the Th-Th and if the slave cylinder is not in for my bike I will still go with my truck and cruise around and try to hit the speedway.
-
Thanks guys I will buy new and if anyone is interested in an 84 I am selling mine I have posted it in the classifieds.

When I bought the 86 Vr the owner said the hydraulic clutch needed to be rebuilt and when I played with it that is all it seemed to be. I had spare rebuild kits for the master cylinder and slave so I went about fixing it today and low and behold someone had tried fixing the slave and ruined the housing now I need to find a slave cylinder housing.

This is the new to me VR that I got for 700$ The carbs need to be cleaned but runs good with the choke partially on. It has some rash on the fairing from the guy dropping it in the garage but everything works on the bike the only problem I have is that it is in Kilometers not US standards, oh and it has an oil leak and needs the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder rebuilt from sitting so long. It only has 71,000 km on it witch is only about 44,000 miles so I think I did good. And I need to know how to take off the damn stickers on the fake gas tank cover....
