You will need a jack to take the weight of bolts as you remove them. At the bottom of the shock it bolts to a piece of Aluminum that has four needle bearing in it. Good time to remove, clean, and put fresh grease in the BRG's Brad

I know they won't unless they had too. But If they have too, then they would do it and still make money. However In the event of a disaster they will be happy they had too. It only takes one major problem to change the rules and hope they (government) learns from the these types of mistakes. Brad

Nice link, I like that one, and can use that one at work. Just remember these are federal rules and regulations. State and provincial rules may be different and also are applicable. Brad

While building my utility trailer which I made 6' wide by 10' long I used a 10% rule. I located the axle 10% more than the half way point towards the rear of the trailer. In other words half the distance was 60" so I located the axle at 66" from the front of the bed of the trailer. The tongue is made up of two pieces of metal in a "V" formation and was not measured. I used a standard coupler to determine the angle between the "V" tongue and the tongue length ended up what it was. Coupler was approx 50 degrees and in my case it was approx 4' of tongue beyond the trailer bed giving approx 9'-6" from the centre of the axle to the hitch. Bed width of 72" and this happens to be slightly more than 1.5 times the width. I know it is not a motorcycle trailer but I mention this as this trailer is build solid and tow's like a dream. A buddy of mine borrowed it and did not latch the hitch to the ball and drove it 75 miles unlatched (man he was lucky). If you saw this trailer you will agree it is solid. Brad

Amazing Eh ! I ordered a HID light from BC and it took 8 days to get to Ontario. There was a stat holiday in there but still 7 days half way across the country vs. the distance your carb tune travelled amazes me. Brad

Guess they are just not happy with the standard models. Pretty neat idea but for what purpose I do not know, also I can not imagine that those little wheels would get dirty quickly and cause a serious malfunction. Brad

Is it really Milkey or is there particles of metal in the oil that make it look milky. When I change mine it always looks a little shiney which it could be called milky. Just a different look at what you may be seeing ? Brad

A radio comment up here stated that during the design of buildings an evacuation plan is required, in order to get people to safety similar to the Air plane industry. However they commented that the rules and regulations for a disaster of this type does not have the same safety or planning regulations. If this comment is true then it makes no sense to me. I do not understand drilling but I would think they should or could possibly drill a potential relief well and cap it and in the event of a failure they can remove the cap and use this as a relief instead of waiting months for a new relief well to be drilled. Obviously this may be and initial and substantial cost to the oil company but oh well, it's just the price of doing business. In the case of an accident it is very small price to pay, comparing it to the clean up cost. I never lived by the water but I can not even imagine the mess and destruction this will cause people and the wild life. Very sad indeed and This should change all the present rules and regulations regarding oil drilling. All the best to those that will be affected by this. Brad

Probably a little more room now that space shuttle will be heading West, instead of south. Brad

It was nice to meet you two. Come back any time. How did the seat cushion work ? Brad

Not sure I would wait I would report right away, as it could help his case and yours. You call that a pot hole. Good luck getting it fixed up Brad -
We make a day run out there a couple times a year. That is nice riding. Long Days though. Brad
-
Mine is on the front of the bike so that is up Right ? Okay Reach forward and Down But even then some are not that Talented while riding Brad
-
What gear ? If you were in fifth I would suspect that is the problem. Too low of engine RPM. Drop it down to 4th or 3rd and see if it is still there ? If it is l would look at the tires, or trailer bearings Brad
-
Yah but the question is at the factory how are these set in the first place ?? Is each one tested or do they just screw them in and then out on each one. This being the case and if it is not done by a machine I doubt the accuracy of them to begin with ? Personally I am not fussy on just turning them out without a analyzer, to do it correctly you also have to drill a hole in the pipe before the "Y". Brad

Some can't reach up and turn the little handle or are just lazy Seriously just to get more useable fuel out of the tank. Brad

Part time riding for three years, I would take the RSTD for that price. Sell it or trade it in when you retire. Should be able to get almost all your money back. (export it to Canada and you definetly will) In three years there may be something more apealing to your riding style, when you retire. Brad

IF it is warm out side rode in the past day, choke is not needed, if it sat for a few days it will need the choke no matter how warm it is. Brad
-
Think we talked about those ones and what were the words ? Oops family site. Highly doubt those would fix your problem. Most likely sending unit, just put it on Prime and then switch to reserve when needed. My lights and F Counter do not work but never run out if you use the prime setting BRad
-
Sent you a pm. Thanks Brad
-
Probably not, good thing someone was keeping track. Do you even remember what the bet was ? ? Brad

The mic mutes are not needed to work the intercom, as when the volume is turned up on the intercom, all you have to do is talk and you hear everything, your passengar says and you can hear yourself as well. If you have volume too loud you hear wind noise, the stereo, etc.. Brad

We like that place. We have went a few years in a row. Would like to join you but can not get any more time off, to make it in time. Enjoy the rides Brad
-
I have a little bag with some in it as well, It seemed to wonder off on it's own and when I find it someone can have it, if needed. Mr. Owl, maybe he made a silly bet and lost, as well. Brad

When our office downsized a 4 months ago I destroyed about 100 flopppy disks which I am sure I had what you are looking for. Even had some 5.5" floppy disks Just a little too late. Brad
