Hey Folks, I have my '86 down and apart and decided since it's this far down I would take the carbs off and check the float levels to be sure they were in specs. This is where my problem lies, the manual doesn't give a measurement at where the float should be set at statically, it shows how you can check if they are high from the outside and together, but not a measurement internally. Does anyone know the measurment that they should be set at and where the measurment is taken from. I am glad I did this as someone has been into these carbs before and I had a screw fall out that wasn't installed properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Another thing is to check all your vaccume lines and caps, I had a pop on decel and it turned out to be a line I missed while taking off the AIS. -

Not that I'm stirring the pot here, but I dont believe that loud pipes will make a cager hear you any better. If your on a freeway doing 70 mph there is a lot going on, semi trucks and whatnot. Many cars that I have ridden in these days are very soundproof, and even with the radio inside them at a reasonable volume a set of loud pipes doesn't really make a big difference in the passenger area. Now I really dont like them in a group as I have been stuck behind some bikes with loud pipes and it's annoying. I guess it's all in what sound you find appealing but loud obnoxious is just that. I usually tell guys if they have strait pipes or whatnot to ride in the back of the pack, it's a courtesy thing for the other riders. I believe that additional lighting up front is a much bigger safety feature myself, but I'm no expert at anything

I have had no problems with them on wet roads....and I have traveled a few in my time. I always slow down in the rain anyhow, but the tires always seemed sure footed to me.

Well what if I do have a pen, perhaps your pen, I might hold it hostage until you and Eileen come up here to visit us. But then again I might not have said pen, but I wont let you know that until you get here
