  1. I'm in the middle of trying to remove my carburetors. Its kind of tough getting the carbs off of the bike. I've got the owners manual and it really isnt much help. i figure one your threads can help, maybe with picture. anyone with any insight would be much appreciated!
  2. I went to mexico with my mom and dad. We had a great time, and they actually preferred american cash. One guy actually tried to scam us saying 20 pesos is worth 20 dollars. Of course i was 12 at the time, so that would have been in 2006. And i know that times are-a changin When we were down there they said cops in one town would extort tourists for money, so be careful where you go and what you do Be safe and have fun!
  3. I understand, im the same exact way.
  4. My 85 would hold air for a little while, but if they hold long enough to enjoy your ride why worry?
  5. So do the 1st gens have this problem?
  6. I want to remove the carb from my 83 because the jets are plugged. I cant get the lines loose on it because its cold out, and i dont want to ruin any of the rubber hoses. Whats a good way to get the hoses off without tearing them? I was thinking about some penetrating oil, WD 40, or a hair drier. What are some suggestions that you guys have that could possibly help me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!! -CJ
  7. Looking for a MKII starter motor as i believe they have 4 brushes instead of the stock two in 83. thank you very much -CJ
  8. I'm definately doing this on my 83, Did you screw in the screw from the inside so you can put a nut on it on the other side to connect or disconnect the ground wire?
  9. Well I'll just bring my stuff over to your garage!!!!
  10. Work on the bikes, and swap starters in the cold. Or sit around eat and watch tv all night long?
  11. So if i have a cb on my 83, then its definately an aftermarket?
  12. So i have to buy a mic and hook it directly to the CB?, but i can still listen to the tunes and cb without buying one?
  13. Where exactly is the front plug located? I just purchased 2 83s with CB's and i cant seem to find the front helmet plug. The back one is located in the same place as it was on my 85 i used to have. I havent dug into it much, but i plan on tearing both bikes apart to make one good bike. Also there is no push to talk switch for the CB. I'm just a little confused on how that works too, but any information would be much appreciated. Thank you CJ
  14. i just took the pressure out of the rear caliper, removed it, fit a flat head screwdriver in it and twist the 2 apart. I had to be pretty careful not to get brake fluid all over. Put the caliper back on, tightened the bleeder nut and took off. It was a really nice day! I should almost post this in the tech talk
  15. Well i decided to take one of my 2 new bikes out for a good long test ride today. Went over 200 miles and the bike ran flawlessly, minus the rear master cylinder seizing up and almost burning out my back brake. Only got 34 mpg though.
  16. I am currently in the market for a rear master cylinder or a rebuild kit. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  17. My old man has always had a series of motorcycles since well before i was born. He has had anything between Kawasaki Voyagers, to Ventures, to every model of goldwing available. (He never did like the 12s though, the only Gold Wing i havent ridden on) Of course by riding i dont mean piloting, but riding on the back, I am only 18 mind you. But i've ridden a 1000 Gold Wing, a 1500, an 1800, and a 1200 venture. (If we're just counting Touring Bikes) I always liked the ventures the most because of their style, comfort, and the fact that they are different from the norm. My favorite gold wings are the 1800's because they feel much sportier than the 1500's but are a little bit stiffer. The way the engine is placed in the goldwing gives them a low, swaying bag type of feeling. I like the Venture because, although they are top heavy, they are much, much more agile than the Goldwings. Also on a long ride, i believe they are more comfortable as well. That is my apples to apples opinion
  18. I'm very impressed! I hope that it goes well for the family. This is an incredible story!!!!
  19. I love that color!!! You've done well!!!
  20. Its the Fuel injection that can make the difference. You can make a 302 push 600 horses if you have the right injection kit on it
  21. I will get ahold of you when im closer to starting the project
  22. They are the royales, but i guess the 83s werent made with the cruise, hopefully theres a spot in the original wiring harness so i can install it
  23. Well if you are willing to get rid of those parts I am willing to buy. How much are you asking?
