Installing progressives
Trader replied to Trader's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
But don't I need the cap (#2) with the O-ring? I would still like to have the option of the forks holding air if I decide to put some in.- 8 replies

OK so I'm a slow learner. I think the attached pictures answers my question but I want to make sure. These pictures come from Bkuhr's pictorial of doing progressives. Am I correct in saying that when installing progressive springs... instead of re-inserting ALL the stock parts, all I need is the spring washer (#4) between the new spring and the PVC spacer (which has been cut to 1") and the cap (#2) and finally the cap bolt (#1) I no longer need the spacer(#3). Have I got that right?

If you have a compressor, use that for a blast of air....or maybe the compressed air in a can? What about using a straw and sucking on it to hold it while you remove it? (never mind any comments!) -
Same thing...I called the RCMP "fraud squad" about a Kijiji scam (we've all seen it....trying to sell $15,000 Kabota for $5000 delivered...just pay the money to an EBAY escrow account. Seller is oversess etc etc They said nothing they could do because no crime had been comitted. Attemped murder is a crime....but "attemped fraud" is not a crime? I agree with calling the TV stations and identifying the fraudster so others can be warned.

It doesn't take dicipline or parental control for these idiots to know that it's not right to destroy other people's property. There is all together too much of "it's not my fault" in the world today! Like "I saw it on TV so we should sue them for givng me the idea".

Sooooo.....you're the one! I never did hear what happened to that. I actually PM'ed Zane today asking about it I tried to get it, and I think I did reply earlier....but being in the US tipped the scales in your favor. Oh well....you'll just have to owe me that's all! -
As you know I"m on everyday...several times a day. I have the home page set as my Default home page and when I open explorer it automatically signs me in. I have not had any issues at all! Using Visa 64 bit and IE 9

Or the day YOU had to do it instead of watching over someone else!

And here all along I thought your screen name was an adjective (as in Descriptive of a mental state)

on my 88 VR the PO has a set of air horns mounted UNDERNEATH the saddlebags with the air pump under the trunk. The horns are out of the way but they are facing backwards...so I have to do something about that. I can't just turn them around or they will just plug up or drown from road spray! Would it be too far a run if I left the compressor under the trunk but mounted the horns up front...I'm thinking where the TCI used to be (if they fit)

I had to wonder why the helicopter drop? Why wouldn't he just "cliff dive"? I am assuming there wouldn't be enough thrust (or lift) to allow him to take off from land or even from a low roof-top

E-Mail Tracker Programs -- very interesting and a must read! The man that sent this information is a computer tech. He spends a lot of time clearing the junk off computers for people and listens to complaints about speed. All forwards are not bad, just some. Be sure you read the very last paragraph. He wrote: By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with snopes.com and/or truthorfiction.com for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. Both are excellent sites. Advice from snopes.com VERY IMPORTANT!! 1) Any time you see an email that says "forward this on to '10' (or however many) of your friends", "sign this petition", or "you'll get bad luck" or "you'll get good luck" or "you'll see something funny on your screen after you send it" or whatever --- it almost always has an email tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and emails of those folks you forward to. The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' email addresses to use in SPAM emails or sell to other spammers. Even when you get emails that demand you send the email on if you're not ashamed of God/Jesus --- that is email tracking, and they are playing on our conscience. These people don't care how they get your email addresses - just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease "how would you feel if that was your child" --- email tracking. Ignore them and don't participate! 2) Almost all emails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all any of this type of email is, is a way to get names and 'cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers -- to validate active email accounts for their own profitable purposes. You can do your Friends and Family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them. You will be providing a service to your friends. And you will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam emails in the future! Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listing regardless how inviting they might sound! Or make you feel guilty if you don't! It's all about getting email addresses and nothing more. You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT! Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached! Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's not make it easy for them! ALSO: Email petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress of any other organization - i.e. social security, etc. To be acceptable, petitions must have a "signed signature" and full address of the person signing the petition, so this is a waste of time and you are just helping the email trackers. Tips for Handling Telemarketers Three Little Words That Work!! (1)The three little words are: 'Hold On, Please...' Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt. Then when you eventually hear the phone company's 'beep-beep-beep' tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task. These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.. (2) Junk Mail Help: When you get 'ads' enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these 'ads' with your payment.Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away. When you get those 'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right?It costs them more than the regular 44 cents postage, 'IF' and when they receive them back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away! The postage was around 50 cents before the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes. One of Andy Rooney 's (60 minutes) ideas. Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank.If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their blank application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them 44 cents. The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them. Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it...Twice! Let's help keep our postal service busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase postage costs again.You get the idea! If enough people follow these tips, it will work I have been doing this for years, and I get very little junk mail anymore.

Quick ride 'round the block=400 miles later + Angry message from her b/f
Trader replied to LilBeaver's topic in Watering Hole
I thought she was your friend!!! -
so with the "NEW" system....vendor ads would just be a "sticky" and not expire at all? Nothing wrong with that! And as was already suggested....for the rest of us.....it takes nothing to copy and paste the ad text from your computer to a new ad if it hasn't sold and expires.

Just wondering....have you taken out the garbage lately?
-
Seeing as nobody else is jumping in..... I may as well suggest that your skills will be put to good use....and often! Just remember to keep diagrams of how it all goes together when you pick up those parts off the road!!

can I suggest a few members be "voluntold"?

if it comes down to it....take the jewellry and the photographs and anything else that might be irreplacable (heirlooms etc) Other than those few items...that's what insurance is for! If the call comes...don't delay. In fact, it might be wise to "pre-assemble" so you can grab and run! Don't forget to make up a "flee-bag" with things like water, food, flashlight, batteries, and a few hundred dollars in cash and have it ready to go too!
