    Very sad indeed, the greatest generation is disappearing before our eyes, were too busy to acknowledge it. I have my fathers, father-in-law still with us and still very sharp. He landed on Omaha beach on Dday, I am fortunate enough that he talks with me about it. It fills my soul with tears to hear of what they went through. God Bless all our heros and the greatest generation that have served the USA.

    When father wants you to come home, anything is possible. The odds of that happening the way they did are staggering

    Fuel pump a strong possibility, but I have had the gas cap not be venting right and when I tried to open it, it had a vaccume in the tank and I could barely pull it off. If it does it again, try pulling the gas cap off. If you have a big sucking sound, the vent in the cap is going bad. BTW where abouts in Michigan are you staying?

    BJ, The vents get some air circulating behind the windshield which is typically a dead zone. If you actually remove them, you will get 2 blasts of air directly on you and it will circulate a lot of air. The measurements as I recall were 3 1/2" up from the chrome piece at the bottom of the windshield and 5 1/4" over from the side of the shield. Someone with the vents in would have to verify that as I dont have a bike with them in it anyore. The vents do not open inward, you push them out towards the front and when you close them thay are tight against the front of the windshield to keep rain out. Give the responce a day and I'll see if I can dig up some pics of an install.

    Snaggletooth is on, there should be center punch marks on the case by the shifter if it was done by Yamaha.

    That would be my 1st thought is the gearing in the pig, I believe that Carbon One has a Ford 9" in his. I'm sure he'll chime in and give some insight

    Lonna cleaned all my plastic on my new to me '89 with a leather seat cleaner wipes by McGuires. I'll tell you, that stuff worked better than I can praise it, the plastic looks like it's new again. I think I would try that before I painted anything

    I had one on the front of my '99 that worked out well, name of it escapes me. I think that HALRSV99 ended up with it and put it on his '99 after mine was totalled. I dont have a pic of it, but perhaps Hal does and we can get it posted up.
