I found a list of the psychological meanings of colors on the net. Let's see what psychological meaning a combination of Orange and Black could present: Warm, sensual, glamorous, passionately sophisticated or depraved, immature, frustrated with poor digestion? Blue and yellow are nice? Some combinations can have a really scary interpretation. RED: Physical Positive: Physical courage, strength, warmth, energy, basic survival, 'fight or flight', stimulation, masculinity, excitement. Negative: Defiance, aggression, visual impact, strain. BLUE: Intellectual Positive: Intelligence, communication, trust, efficiency, serenity, duty, logic, coolness, reflection, calm. Negative: Coldness, aloofness, lack of emotion, unfriendliness. YELLOW: Emotional Positive: Optimism, confidence, self-esteem, extroversion, emotional strength, friendliness, creativity. Negative: Irrationality, fear, emotional fragility, depression, anxiety, suicide. GREEN: Balance Positive: Harmony, balance, refreshment, universal love, rest, restoration, reassurance, environmental awareness, equilibrium, peace. Negative: Boredom, stagnation, blandness, enervation. VIOLET: Spiritual Positive: Spiritual awareness, containment, vision, luxury, authenticity, truth, quality. Negative: Introversion, decadence, suppression, inferiority. ORANGE: Positive: Physical comfort, food, warmth, security, sensuality, passion, abundance, fun. Negative: Deprivation, frustration, frivolity, immaturity. PINK: Positive: Physical tranquility, nurture, warmth, femininity, love, sexuality, survival of the species. Negative: Inhibition, emotional claustrophobia, emasculation, physical weakness. GREY: Positive: Psychological neutrality. Negative: Lack of confidence, dampness, depression, hibernation, lack of energy. BLACK: Positive: Sophistication, glamor, security, emotional safety, efficiency, substance. Negative: Oppression, coldness, menace, heaviness. WHITE. Positive: Hygiene, sterility, clarity, purity, cleanness, simplicity, sophistication, efficiency.

Negative: Lack of humor, heaviness, lack of sophistication.

If Kevin does not want the spacers you are welcome to them.

The mounts that I have are about 7 inches long and I had some interference with the antenna and my side lights. I added a 2 inch spacer to clear the antenna base. If these are the correct mounts, please PM me for price and shipping arrangements.

I have a couple of mounting arms from my 86. I was using extension spacers to allow the install of the lighted trunk trim rails. I did the Marshall Modification using a strip of 1/4 inch aluminum to replace the arms on both sides of the trunk. If you want one or both of the OEM arms they are available.

If you are referring to a Throttle Position Sensor, I am not using one? The TCI is connected to a vacuum sensor that regulates the spark timing.

Here are some pictures of some other "opportunities" that have caused this project to go into overtime. The OEM coil package has been scrapped in favor of Honda CBR1000 COP's. The OEM TCI has been replaced with the Inigtech unit from Gary. The R/R is a new MOSFET unit from Earl, that is relocated to the side of the electrical component tray and the battery relocates to the sidecar. All of the original main and satellite fuses, with the exception of a large dual 40 amp main that is visible to the right of the Bussmann panel, have been relocated to the Bussmann panel. Any relay that is available in an ATC compatible configuration is on the way to the Bussmann block. I bought the tools necessary to fabricate the needed battery cables and those needed to reconfigure the OEM connectors to the Delphi waterproof style. The "opportunities" are endless and I need to draw the line on any more modifications, if I am ever to finish this project.

I am using a Bussmann marine ATC fuse block for the basis of the 86 rewiring project. All the wires go in from the underside and the panel will hold several styles of relays as well as fuses. All the wires use grommets and the cover is gasketed to keep out any moisture. The blocks can be purchased with a power buss or independently serviced spaces. This has been an interesting project and unfortunately keeps expanding each time there is a new option to explore. I hope to have this operational by next spring.

I built a dolly for the rewiring project on my 86. I used some 2x4's, some OSB, five casters, and some steel plate under the center stand. The bike is up about 8 inches and that helps with the clutch and stator work. The total investment is about $50.00.

The video was very well done and had every nuance of the real thing. The most disturbing aspect were the comments that followed. Some of those folks are in need of a reality check, their attitudes are more frightening than the video.

Now that is some seat! Very nice indeed.

I believe that I have at least one in a box somewhere. Not sure if any of them will actually work until I test one. If I do it's yours for the shipping.

I have been tempted by the various iPhone upgrades with the results being that the incredible price tag for "improved technology" is not justified. My wife and I have iPhone CDMA 4's services through TracFone at $120.00 per year. I bought both phones used with a total investment of under $500.00 (would be a lot less now). They can be configured to accomplish more tasks than I'll ever need or want. The software can be upgraded to the OS 7.1 level which, I believe, offers everything that the 4S, 5, and 5S would except conversation with Siri. IMHO the iPhone 4 with a TracFone carrier is one of the best values in the cellphone marketplace.

If you cant find a local donor, I have a gauge style tool that works well for me. I would be willing to send it to you with the instructions. It is not really a difficult procedure, the first time is a bit of a trial but not that bad.

I have another fork spring related question, if there is no objection? If the air compressor lines to the forks are removed, after the Progressive replacement, should the open connections be plugged. Is there enough air volume, within the fork cavities, to allow for compression without blowing the seals? Perhaps attaching a canister, with a low charge, would allow for compression without elevating the pressure too high?

I cannot determine the extent of the damage but it appears that the lacquer between the windings was not compromised. If the material loss from the wires is not substantial (less than 1/4) I would put it to good use. Before installation I would inspect for any breaks in the lacquer coatings between windings, signs of cracking or heat damage to the wires. If the windings are not chipped. cracked, warped, stretched, flattened, shrunk, bent or pealed, a re-coating of lacquer should put things right. A few of us "old farmers" have had experiences with successfully rigging generators, starters and the like on some of our obsolete equipment. PS: The bailing wire and bubble gum are optional!!

Very nice work!!

Now, you shouldn't go fun'n an ignorant fella like me, I get confused. Might be a 430 or a 240 or maybe something else. I'm too old to remember.

I have stripped the entire CLASS system out of my 86 with progressives, both front and rear. My rear unit is somewhat different than the 420 in that it has a separate pressure chamber that is adjustable. I have not seen another like this one. The setup works well with the extra load of the sidecar.

What a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing this video.

Gary, As always you have the information. I owe you a triple scoop with sprinkles!!! Thanks for your help,

I have two used OEM stators that are in good condition if that might interest you.

Steve, You are a very lucky man. The consequences of an accident such as yours could have been far worse. It just wasn't your time!! A prayer for your healing and one of thanks for keeping you with us. I would agree with Eck that leathers are not as practical as some other options. Armored riding jackets are far more durable and are much cooler. The choices are many and the prices are all over the map. I would avoid those made from "plastics" that would melt when scraped between you and the road. The melted material is very difficult to remove from your body. I hope your luck holds, enjoy your vacation,

Gary, The aftermarket tubes that I have seen do not appear to have the oval hole. I have tried to find one that would fit the 86 Venture and have found none that are represented to be compatible. If you have the information for a suitable aftermarket tube I would be interested. Thanks again,

Thanks to Gary and Kevin, After looking at more of those offered for sale on ebay I began to suspect that the oval shape was not from wear. I installed two new throttle cables and may need to apply more tension on the cable. The socket for the carb end of the pull cable was missing so the adjustments were impossible until that was replaced. I'll have to abandon my ego and "read the instructions". Thanks again to both of you, Les

I am in need of a throttle tube for my 86 venture. The one I now have is badly worn on the pull-side cable attachment hole. The button on the cable will not stay in place. I bought what I thought might be a good one off ebay but it was as worn as badly as the one that I already had. Would anyone have a spare in good condition? Would anyone have any experience mending the holes in the tube? [ATTACH]86639[/ATTACH]
