    Don, I get them locally here in the Detroit area at a place called Terminal Supply. If I'm not mistaken, Lonestarmedic is buying items from them too and having it shipped to his house. Here is the website http://terminalsupplyco.com/Default.aspx and the fuse block, I use as it's an 8 position one instead of the 6. http://terminalsupplyco.com/Store/Product.aspx?pc=ATO-FB8 I also use a heat shrink connector on the wires http://terminalsupplyco.com/Store/Product.aspx?pc=SBB-9263 Let me know if you want one and I'll get it rolling for you:happy34:

    If you got a running Connie for 8 bills you should be arrested for larceny

    I said my mind....you'll know it's me

    Not necessarily with yours, but I know that I have cleaned and tightened ground straps on the engine blocks of frame and that was the culprit on a few of them.

    Hey Dan, Here are some of the pics I took of how I did the '89 yesterday. It's a bit different than what Skydoc has done, but the same result, let me know if this helps you out

    I understand Curtis, I have seen the results of a plug and what it can do to a tire. I'm just very cautious when it comes to tires, due to some of the things I have seen while being a tire store manager

    Cindy, FWIW when we did Ft. Collins I ordered a few extra dinners for the wrap up. If you folks have the cash to swing it, you might want to do that. I know we actually didn't have enough food.

    I built one out of Aluminum and polished it, same Venturedad hitch setup on the back of my '99. It worked great and I'd still have it, but gave it to Mean Dog after our accident as he really loved the looks of it, unfortunately he never got to use it.

    Have fun and enjoy the trip, Lonna and I did a 28 day 10000 mile trip back in '06. I remember it like it was yesterday....be safe and thanks for the pics

    There is some very good prizes there, Thank you to all that have donated to the rally

    1st gens too, the 1300 models only, as you mentioned the 1200's have the individual springs in them. The pull is slightly harder as there is more tension with the new spring. The upgrade actually puts a full friction disc in the back of the clutch pack that helps the pack lock up better. If your pulling a trailer it's an excellent upgrade, my '89 will get one as soon as I get back to work

    Earl, Have a safe and wonderful time, California is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there anymore....1 time was enough for me

    Curtis, What happens with a plug when it's installed is this. 1st off you make the hole Bigger by shoving the "Cleaning Tool", basicall a very coarse file, through it to clean it out and make a larger hole to accomodate the plug. You are further breaking the steel belts in the tire and making that a weak point for the belts to shift and destroy the tire even more. Now your taking a plug and distorting the tire once it's shoved in. Now I dont know about all areas of the US, but here in Michigan, aptly named the rust belt, we use salt to clear the snow from the roads. Now you have a tire, with steel belts exposed to salt, which corrodes them and destroys the tire even more. I know there will be arguements of folks saying "Well if you do it right, you wont have any problems" This could be true, but you have to know absolutely that you have done it right. I know folks do it all day long everyday, but the proper way to repair a tire is with a patch from the inside. I'm especially anal on this as I have been on a bike that lost it's rear tire at 75 mph. On a bike tire, and theres only 2 unless it's a trike, I dont need to worry about tire issues that a plug can bring

    Fork tubes might have twisted a bit in the upper and lower triple trees, doesn't look too bad, I'm sure it wont be a hard fix.

    Art, If you can get out to the house here I'll carbtune the bike and a few other tricks. MRC came down from Barrie Ontario with the same problem and we sent him home without the numb hands
  23. Squidley
    In Texas Of course Sorry, my inner smartass hasn't been out in a while
  24. Squidley
    I know the feeling my friend, lost my job last Tuesday and Lonna is packing as I type this. Texas is where were going to end up, so I can relate to simplifying things, let us know if you need anything
  25. Squidley
    Wrong Big Mike, Art This one is a new guy from Saginaw, nice fella though, did a carbtune on his bike
