  1. I got one from Pioneer Motorsports at Don's MD 2 years ago. I think it's stainless...and comes with the bracket and longer allan bolts. It mounts on the same holes as either the clutch or front brake reservoir. It pivots on a single mount so it stays vertical (on a single plane) It came with 2 different rubber inserts to accommodate different diameter cups. My only complaint is that it's not deep enough. Some taller mugs and water bottles end up top heavy. I paid $30 for it.
  2. so how are you going to get her on the bike? A trailer perhaps? It's a lot easier with our Pom crosses. We put one in each saddle bag and the "baby" goes on a papoose type carrier on my wife's chest. Somehow I don't think a lab-roti cross will fit in a saddle bag!!!!
  3. I was thinining they would be raw!
  4. 2- 7" 1- 11" please
  5. so how does a stator cooler work? How much are they?
  6. On my own Jimmy the tire guy told me I should not only change all four at once....but that I should ensure they are all from the same batch. He said there could be minor variations between molds and the diameter could be slightly different. He told me unless the tires were matched I should not ever use bull low on pavement or risk damage.
  7. Thanks...but that's only good for 17 digit VIN numbers...not motor serial numbers I called the stealer...who called Yamaha and they said it was from an 88
  8. Good idea! I guess you could say that is thinking outside the box!!! I just used a "T" extension on the "under the trunk" type.
  9. I have an 85 for sale with a 1300 engine...obviously a newer year. I have the original motor but the PO switched them because of the 2nd gear issue. Can anyone tell me how to tell what year it is from the serial number. The serial number on the motor starts with "1UM 005 xxx"
  10. When I got my Trailer from near Chicago (Illinois) he had a plate on it. Can't see any reason to buy one unless he had to.
  11. Didn't see any 1st gens....I guess they were all out front.
  12. From what I have been told in the past they will not fit. Never tried it myself.
  13. Sorry for your loss Dan...but you will see her again in the resurrection.
  14. Notice it was John Deere Green? can you say "redneck?"
  15. I just went thru all the pages and I guess I missed this before. 1) Me chasing my beautiful bride (even though we have been married for over 30 years!) 2) Yvette and the rest of the family 3) rebuilding the living room floor last year
  16. fingers and toes!!!!!!!!
  17. For sure use USPS if possible. The couriers charge a huge "customs brokerage" fee that could be 1/2 the price of the shipping plus taxes and duty. Depending on where in Canada you might ship to a US member close to the border and have the person pick it up themselves.
  18. For those of you old enough to remember Red Skelton, I think you will enjoy this . For those of you not old enough you will see what you missed. Either way, his humour was always clean and he was a great entertainer. A re-run of great 'one liner's' from the man who was known for his clean humour. RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE 1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays. 2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California , and mine is in Texas .. 3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back. 4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen. 5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops. 6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair. 7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake." 8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off. 9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!". 10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce. 11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was ' Always'. 12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her. 13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, "What's on the TV?" I said, "Dust!". Can't you just hear him say all of these? I love it. These were the good old days when humour didn't have to start with a four letter word. It was just clean and simple fun. And he always ended his programs with the words, "And May God Bless" with a big smile on his face
  19. Those 30 year old tools may be of much higher quality steel than newer ones. If they are 30 year old "Shopsmith" lathe chisels...they are a pretty good quality tool. They may need sharpening but investigate before you replace them.
  20. "obvious"....you mean like Oklahoma? There is nothing obvious! It happened on tax day it might be some disgruntled American "protesting" taxes. Regardless.....a horrible event and proof we need a higher power to step in and fix this old world!
  21. I've had a shopsmith for about 30 years. I also got the bandsaw and 4" jointer attachments It's a great machine and my only complaints are: 1) there is not enough table area (later models had more....but I could buy the larger tables) 2) the headstock revs much too slowly for the router option to be used....it feels like it's taking chunks out of the material
  22. Ohhhhh Duh....yud a thunk I could figure that out. EDIT: They added a picture AFTER my post! I'm not that dumb.
  23. I had the same call. From what I understand they say "We've found the problem" while they install a virus of some sort....but then charge hundreds of dollars to "fix" the problem.
