    John, Have you checked into the Oberlin Inn? They have rooms blocked out specifically for us for MD and lots of folks have stayed there before, including us. There are also several hotels north of Rt 2 where others have stayed. The info should be in the thread as to what hotels are around and as I recall they were all pretty well decent.

    Jeff, You will just sandblast the steels between the friction discs. You can also sand them on a flat surface with the sandpaper facing upwards and press down on the steel to get it to take the glaze off. That is all you are doing this for is to remove the glaze tha happens when the steels get hot, it helps them bite better. Also too you will not need to purchase any of the steels, you will use the old ones.

    I have seen a couple of posts about installing these at MD in Ohio. Although it's an easy swap, if your clutch has been slipping, you really need to clean your steels between the friction disc good, as they will more than likely be glazed. I just replaced the spring, or should I say doubled it up on the '89 with a new full friction disc. Ponch was kind enough to snadblast the steels for me and I will tell you that the bike never pulled so hard. I will from now on be sandblasting the steels, just something to think about if you decide to do this swap ...and for those of you that dont know Earl, he is top notch in everything he does. You can bet if he talks it up, it's because thats exactly how it is

    I see you grabbed US33 out of Ravenswood WV, I have gone that route several times and I would have liked to done it on a bike. Your trip is awsome to read Bob, I am so glad you got to get out and down south here. It was great spending time with you in Loozianner and reading of your tales. Tons of great memories on this trip...good for you my friend!

    I have a set on my previous '89 and have about 4K on them right now. I do like the tire, it sticks well, even in the rain and is decently quiet. If these tires will go 10K as far as miles I would say they are a great deal. I think enough of the that I put a set on my Electra Glide too. They make the Tour Masters in both 1st and 2nd gen sizes.

    Come to Texas and I'll paint it for you, I'm pretty good at that stuff.

    CJ, I remember the winters of not being able to ride, I hope you get your fix here today

    You still may have an issue with some air in the lines of the rear braking system. I would absolutely suggest if you haven't flushed all the brake systems that you do so. It probably hasn't been done in years and will need it.

    100% what Earl said, been there got the shirt

    Don, The backrest is moveable and has 3 positions the passenger can put it in as far as tilt angle. The lever operates the locking mechanism for the backrest

    Keith, Make it to a Maintenance day here in Texas and we will teach you how it's done. I'm actually getting good at it, BTW where are you located? ...and about the air pressure in the shocks, it's negligeable on the amount that it moves the forks up. It's more for dampening the bumps.
