When I was a kid, my dad had a couple of boats. Back then they called them "cuddy cabins" or something. 14-16" and had a cabin up front you could put a mattress in and camp for the weekend or few days. but every time we took that boat out it was something else to buy, fix or whatever not to include gas. SO I picked up somewhere along the line. "A boat is a hole in the water into which you put your money" Me personally I have never had much desire for one. But if you liked it and are happy with the out come kudos. I have hears similar stories about RV's too.

I have run across a couple of "salvage" titled bikes I would take a run at. But I know going in your NOT going to get anywhere near resale on them. But by the same token I should not have to pay anywhere near that. I found a Vic I liked. Fellow has been riding it a couple of years and did some cosmetic stuff, windshield plastics and paint I think. He is only about 3k under what a pristine bike would be. And he thinks he is giving the buyer a deal! You can finance it if you needed to, insurance can be a hassle. I found out recently while selling some used furniture to make room. You make the ad up. Add 10-20% to what you want because nobody will pay you what you think its worth.

Looking good. I remember when you first posted about getting it. Parts for that got to be like a needle in a hay stack. I was at an antique tractor thing a few weeks back. A fellow had a mini trail 50 honda for sale. I don't remember now what he was asking for it, but at the time I told my wife I don't think they were that much new.

Or just get some Plasti-Dip. Paint the lowers and go with it. I think the stuff Eusa is talking about I know better as "helicopter tape" We used it to keep the front of race cars from getting beat to pieces from rocks and sand etc. Check some of these out.

Comparing to my 230's I looked at pricing. Now I remember why I went the 230 route. @ $40 each less I think thats why then. The prices on your link are not terrible less than a Michelin Commander 2, so I would probably go that route. I get you wanted the WW. but for me that would mean pulling the bags all the time to clean the rear tire. Besides if my cage gets tires and they are WW I turn them inside.

Yea the VOG is about the only one I have seen with any activity. The delphi one goes months without anything new. I corget the other one I signed up for.

SilverT, theres a Vic forum that people actually post on? I have like 3 saved in favorites and none get any traffic it seems.

I like mine. It has server me well and I hope keeps on going. When I first got it I wondered about the beltless type drive and the motor being all covered up and such. It does blow a lot of hot air out of the cover around the motor if you use it alot like to run impact or air ratchet etc. I sprayed a trailer and some race car parts back when I got it. I quickly found out it dont hold quite enough air on demand. so I have a portable air bottle plumbed up so I can use it in line.

Usually the U joints have a creaking sound. Being a 6" bed standard cab I dont think it has the mid joint. I could believe the motor mount and when you hit the gas the engine lifts and fan hits plastic shroud. check out the engine bay and shake things around with your hands a it and see if something is loose. Shoot I get levees in the AC/heat ducts and the fan makes them sound like its coming apart.

I have been out of the aircraft maintenance field since 96. Been employed in the racing world since then, well up to Dec31 2014. Now I have to find something else to do.

Didnt use to be that way. Sometimes tech sucks.

Whats the tracking number say?

I have noticed here the last couple days that when I get a notice of the quote thing, the link takes me to the home page. Not the thread.

My windshield didnt have any rubber washers. I did go buy some thin fender washers to displace the pressure. The fairing looks squished where the screws tighten down.

The new spray guns are HVLP (hi volume low pressure) My old gun I think I need to run 60psi or so. The new one is like 20psi operating press. I think I have the same compressor your having problems with. I might be able to find the manual andparts listing and you can try to order parts. I was just on harbor freights site and could look at all the manuals. At the back of them they have a parts listing. If you do decide to go the pancake route, I recomend plumbing the 21 gal tank up so you can use it as a storage tank along with the pancacke one. As it certainly will not have enough air to run much.

Thats the way the insides of the HD muffs are made. Exhaust comes in like 8 inch or so. Then there is a plate there to block and force exhaust out to sides so it goes,thru multiple slits to baffle and out the back. Now why to 2010 ones (non cat) I have are not made exactly the same I have no idea. The right the diverter plate is say 8 inch back and the left is further maybe 10 inch.

I put shinkos on mine this time. Had a premature failure on the rear, but no fault of tire. I ran over something that put about a 3/4" plus gash in the tire. But if I remember right the weight rating was not as high on the 777 as the 230 and thats why I went the 230 tourmaster route. Everything I read on the HD forums sounded like it was worth a try.

Hmm so If I make a reservation with a Canadian hotel and then cancel it a few days later I would have made $19? Why play the stock market? Actually I think if its on a credit card it shouldn't have cost you anything. It "held" the room but nothing was used. So I dont know what the rules are but I would be asking. And was there an actual charge on the card?

Late at night with a few cocktails it looks fine man.

Bob Meyers is my go to intercom Guru. I have J&M headsets of the less expensive type. I think I have about $180 in a pair. But then you have to add the cost I put together for plugs for ear buds for rider and passenger, parts to make the connectors and the time etc. I think if I was to go for headsets again the SMH 20 would be in the running. Using earbuds makes the music and communications clear and also knocks some of the wind noise out.

I liked that the Michelin groves crossed over center of the tire back and forth. The E3 was OK but I thought it looked more like a sport bike tire than a touring tire. You will have to kind of relearn corners now as it turns in just slightly different.

Hmm what happens if the training wheels dont deploy? you look like the guy on Laugh In

I find it a chuckle to me at least. These economy cars that didn't sell for squat back in the 60's get reborn and now the .commers think they are "cool" to have. the mini, the FIAT next they will bring back the 3 wheeled thingy the the front flips open.

My guess would be the waves are caused by engine electronics.

There is a section of road down south of me here just south of Lake Placid Fl. There is 12-15 miles where it is posted as a "bear crossing". I have driven that road at all times of day and night and have yet to see a bear. So how does the DOT know where the bears want to cross? Do they go survey them? Take a census?
