    sounds like fun. i tried the old wine thing back in the 80,s it tasted like sh##. but maybe i just didnt follow directions right. its a man thing:rotfl: who reads directions? like if i got left over bolts and nuts when i worked on my car when i was younger it was called modification.

    can i ask for a prayer for a friend of mine? shes the one who drives the pink crotch rocket well she was going home from work yesterday and was heading straight. with a green light when a lady made a right hand turn on a red or should i say she made the right but didnt stop for the red. my friend hit the back of the car. there are skid marks from her hitting the brakes. i shouldnt say she hit the rear more like the quarter panel and it took her down. speed limit is 35 mph as this road soon leads to a 55 mph highway. well she has a broken right wrist. a sore right knee. but she wheres full body gear. thank god. the driver of the cage was charged with improper turn. failure to give right of way. her excuse was her dog jumped in her lap and she didnt see the motorcycle. so they charged her with improper restraint of her dog as well?? bike will need new forks and lots of body plastic.? im thinking they should total it but not sure? so thanks to all for your prayers her name is dianne olson 30 years old been riding bikes since she was 16.

    ok im looking for a way to stop them from leaking? they seem to close nice and tight? but after a rain or a simple wash job the top trunk gets about an inch of water in it? it runs to the far side while on side stand.\\ the right sadle bag does about the same/ i looked at the latches and see there pop riveted? i saw on ebay someone was selling a upper trunk repair kit? latches small screws straps ect ect. just need to figure out how to remove the rivets if thats the case or if there is just some kind of adjustment and gasket that can be used.

    ok maybe not glue but what do you use to repair cracks in the fairing and stuff? i have heard of plastic repair, pvc glue, plastic bond ect ect. i have a C shaped crack in my right side fairing where the lower the air tub goes in i think im right there? its the vent on the main part of the big side fairing that help? i dont want to have to remove the fairing and try to get to it from the inside. so can i just repair it from the out side? also is 40 mpg fair for the bike. i did find my poping its a exhaust leak down where on the right where it goes in to the collector main out side one not back one. the chrome shield is missing on that side and a little hole is in the pipe can this be welded?. i can live with it. right now. all in all with all the help i have gotten here. the bike is running well and comming along. and i did one thing i ran out of gas right in the yard but gauge showed one bar? hmmmm then parked it and nothing no bars? put it on reserve still no bar but fired up. so how much gas is in this sucker LOL i think ill just get a can and get some gas as nearest gas is 5 miles. thats what i get for playing and not paying attention.

    well weekend is going good. i got the bike to idle a few turns here and there but maybe turned the wrong screws all in all not bad. im sure the bike needs a crb sync. went out early to day and with some advice i got on a previous post i used the turkey baster and filled the rear master cyclinder and went at bleeding the brakes. started at the rear. pumped it 5 times had friend hold the rear brake lever there and opend the bleeder. whoosh some air. closed it pumped it again 5 times opened it and being silly was looking at the bleeder when i opened it and got safety glassses coverd with brake fluid. checked the rear master and put a little more fluid in it. pumped the brakes and went to the front. cracked the bleeder and it had fluid no air. turned the bike on started it up and hey no warrning light:cool10: had to do alittle linkage adjustment. took the bike out and wow i got brakes:cool10: now being tired for some reason i cant get the side bags on. i set the lock to set went to put them on and just cant get them far enough forward to set the darn lock? maybe wd40 the rubber to make it slick? put on the side covers i got off ebay.. and bike is looking better when i get batteries for the camera pics will be comming. now if i can just figure out the bags im almost good to go well i mean i can go just need a little more tweeking on the carbs. and i want to give a big shout out to everyone who gave advice. lets see for 12 bucks i got about a million in good advice. is it ok for a guy to say i love ya guys? ok the women here too. and no i dont swing that way but i do have a few pink underware and t shirts thanks to a helpfull 7 year old great niece

    thanks i found it and gave it a little turn bike now idles at 1000 rpms with no choke. im happy now. and the one i was talking about is on the left side and holds the throtle cables up on side of carbs it was just about to shake off i turned it 2 and 1/4 turns. bike responds better now??? also pulled the air filter off and looked in side of box and spoted oil residue just after a fresh oil change?? now if i recall skydock or someone makes something to modify and get rid of the damn tube wich is a royal pain in the butt to get back on. crankcase tube is it? you know im wrenching on this and starting to enjoy some of the fruits of my labor. now to get a crab sync and ok one more question on the rear master cylinder i cant reach the top screws to remove cover but saw a plug on the side i opened it and there is verry little brake fluid in there is it possible to pour fluid in the master that way through that plug? as the screws on the master are rusted and one looks rounded once again thanks as you can see im bored and its going to rain so im just farting around with stuff. i know i got good pepole here who help or will tell me jim leave it alone to maintenance day LOL
