    Yeah I know, it's the watering hole, but some of the 2nd genners might be able to help me with this also. I am looking for a right side upper fairing cover, the one that holds the speaker and right side components. It doesn't have to be perfect, but I'd like one that is all there. This '83 I'm playing with right now needs one in a bad way as it's pretty much all gone and broken. If any of you brothers can help me out I'd appreciate it

    That was my 1st '86 when I lived in Michigan, that pic was taken just south of the Bluewater Bridge in Port Huron about 20 miles from where I lived. I have another one just like it right now in the 2 tone brown color.

    I found that when I delinked the brakes I liked the feel better. I will try to upgrade the master cylinder like others have mentioned to the 14mm. Eventually I will change all the lines over to SS...glad your liking your new toy

    Luke, If it's gold and silver, and it's an '86, it's been repainted. The 2 stock colors in '86 were a 2 tone brown and a 2 tone black and gold. It sounds like a decent deal if all the plastic is in good shape. You have a lot of support there in Michigan as far as members being able to help you out with any repairs and such. Make sure you go ahead and do a basic tune up, plugs, wires, caps and a fuel filter. Flush and bleed all the brake and clutch lines with fresh brake fluid....looking forward to seeing the pics

    I have done the rustoleum paint job before, the whole vehicle was the same color afterwards

    Thanks fellas, I did go online and look at some of them. I was looking at some kits, with 2 gun in them 1 for the primers and 1 for the top coats that have finer tips. For less than $300 I could get a Binks, Devilbiss or Sharpe (although I have never heard of Sharpe) This gives me an idea of what I'm looking to spend. Keep the info coming, can't have too much information, or thats what I have heard

    I believe that your '05 is the last year to have the studs on the seats. If I'm not mistaken the '06 had the pillow tops on it that didn't have the studs.

    It would take a lot of custom fabrication, seeing the speakers that are on it come off. I think the biggest hurtle would be keeping it water tight. Are you thinking of putting it in the center area of the trunk face facing the seat?

    Wise choice Barry, wind is my biggest issue on the bike. I can handle rain and such, but too much wind and the bike can become unpredictable very fast. That and you being new to the bike and trying still to get your legs on it, you did the right thing. Seeing we didn't die like the Mayans predicted....there's always next year

    I am looking to get some info and somewhat get myself back up to date on the new ways they are painting cars and such. Back in the day, 20 some years ago while I was in the service. One of my jobs was to paint the helicopters I worked on. I went to school and such to learn it, and way back then we were using the standard Binks and Devilbiss siphon guns. My question to those in the know now, is this, what it a decent quality HVLP top cup gun. I dont need to be painting show cars or bike, but I'm looking for a good quality paint gun to replace my old siphon guns....let me know what y'all think.

    It has become pretty apparent that you dont have the "CLOUT" that you led on that you did. If you wanted to make it a true Christmas present, you would have let it SNOW on Christmas Eve, so it was all pretty and white and clean come Christmas morning

    In reality, if this did actually happen, we would live just like they did 500 years ago. Groups would form into clans, and there would be leaders of that. Small communities would have to be made, there would be hunters and gatherers. Everyone would have to pull their weight, it wouldn't be a cake walk. Ammo and guns would be a must for protection and hunting, but have to be used smartly as there is only so much of it. Lots of other hunting methods would be used, archery, trapping, things that mountain men and woodsman have done for centuries. Im with Don, I will deal with whatever comes along as it comes along. My skills as a fabricator would be useful for bartering.....interesting comments though

    Barry, Here's a couple on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Road-Star-Saddlebag-Liner-Bags-Sideliners-/140802318228?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20c878df94&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SET-YAMAHA-ROADLINER-STRATOLINER-VENTURE-ROYAL-STAR-DELUXE-SADDLEBAG-LINERS-/160936160959?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item25788aeebf&vxp=mtr I have a set like the 2nd link and they work well. They weren't the Yamaha brand, I forget who made them, but I have had them for about 4 years now.

    You can have it, after 40 years of dealing with it and the nimrods that drive in it....I dont miss it 1 bit!
