  1. I think you meant to say master cylinder, not "caliper, I too have thought about that approach, it would require a book listing the bore sizes of various units. I agree that the difference is small but it is a harder pull and I don't want to risk making her wrist worse (ganglian cyst)sp? . If I can't find a solution I guess I'll just have to start carrying a spare set of steels & frictions while on our trips.
  2. Those are RSTD seats, don't think they'll fit an RSV
  3. I want to upgrade the clutch on my wife's trike to prevent slippage, but I DO NOT want to increase the amount of pressure it takes to pull the clutch lever. Has anyone found a way to accomplish this ? She has wrist problems and a harder clutch would make it un-ridable for her.
  4. I have been considering buying one for the trike, but after reading of your problems and treatment by Dyna I may just forget about that Dyna 3000.
  5. nothing better than sitting in a 104* tub during a blizzard sipping on your favorite beverage
  6. Our tub is a Coast spa. They are no longer in business. 2- 2 speed motors and pumps, I like this feature as you can set it low or high. Foot massagers are a nice feature, ours has a lounger and most people only lay there for a short time before wanting another seat, I'd say skip the lounger. More jets = better, you can always turn off the ones you don't want. Each seat position should have jets placed to work on a different area of your body. Lighting is nice to have. Most people I know that have a stereo say they don't last long. Get one that is well insulated as it reduces operating costs. Ours is foam filled in the cabinet and I then added mylar faced foam insulation boards behind the equipment access panel too. Our Electric cost is between $30-40 a month during the winter. A good insulated cover with a cover lift makes it easier to get into. Go with a 220V unit they cost less to run. If you have young kids be sure the cover can be locked. Don't use chlorine for your sanitizer, it's harder to keep in balance. We use bromine but have been considering a switch to salt. Ours is set at deck level next to the deck so all we have to do is step into it. If you drop it into a hole in a deck it makes it harder and more expensive when the time comes to do any service on it. I've had ours for 7 years and have put 1 pump and 1 heater in it. We're on well water which also makes it harder to get balanced water chemistry right. I run my fill water thru a carbon and paper filter which helps. I do a water change every 3-4 months depending on usage.
  7. #1 Victory CCT #2 HD Ultra Most of the rest are too tall in the saddle for me.
  8. Good luck with the interview.
  9. It's a flatulence dissipation subduction motor impeller rotor. Apparently either the highly acidic environment in which it resided caused the dissolution of the housing and mounting brackets or excessively high pressure caused it to separate from it's owner. Excessive flatulence can cause enormous discomfort and distress, mainly when there are other people around.
  10. I'll be camping again this year.
  11. No I think you meant KOOL-AID
  12. I LOVE winter.... WINTER ALE, Johnny WINTER.... WINTER as a season
  13. Still plenty room at the campground & the pond monster must be on a BiPap cuz I didn't hear it snore at all last year. Coulda been the pie acting as a silencer though
  14. Paul, Try doing some job searches in the Detroit, Michigan area, I have seen several job offers looking for workers in your field. It's not the sunny south but there is work up here. Most everything is contract work though, none of the companies want to direct hire because of the healthcare debacle that plagues the nation at this time. GM, Ford & Chrysler have been hiring. Take a look at the career postings on their corporate web sites. Submit your resume to Michigan Works Talent Bank. Google Michigan works, there are talent banks for every area of the state. Good luck with your job search.
  15. That was quick ! Glad to hear they're going to take care of you. I've had 4 set of Avons and have never encountered the cracking issue.
  16. I Won second quarter square, paid for the night + , almost got the third.... who won ? Not that I care.... Looked like Lions in Denver clothing to me...
  17. Pretty much. Only gave him $100 for all of it. Just the parts I wanted for my tractor would have cost me over $600 and the parts I got off it were almost like new. As a bonus there's enough parts I didn't use and will sell off, that I should make a profit when all is said and done.
  18. Talk about riding off into the sunset! Good for him.
  19. That's a Fact. I just bought an old Gravely 4 wheel tractor for parts, the PO had just got done rebuilding the engine and didn't correctly install the spur gear on the crank, the result was the spur gear moving and letting the woodruff key drop into the trans and lodging itself between 2 straight cut gears and cracking the trans case like a walnut. Bad for him, good for me as I got lots of good parts for cheap. Another plus to that find was the guy used to own a RSV and threw in a Yamaha trunk rack bag and saddlebag liners on the deal
  20. Right bag has foul weather gear, extra gloves and glasses. Left bag has essential tools pouch, extra ammo, flag&pole for PGR missions. Top trunk has maps and a case for misc. electronics. Everything else goes in the trailer.
  21. Must admit, that thought did cross my mind too.
  22. Way faster than a 1st Gen http://www.youtube.com/embed/doN4t5NKW-k
