  3. ive got the ruger p93 in 15rd. ive shot thousands of rounds through it with about a 1% failure. combat gun. carried the baretta 9 for years in the service. its gets sloppy after awhile, not true with the ruger. good luck, bad guys beware!
  4. i havnt done a HUGE trip like that on my 83, but just did a 9hr trip yesterday. no issues. of course, i have a new agm, h.i.d.s, new ngk's, new fuse block(skydoc), new fuel filter, new air filter(k&n), new custom wires(ngk), fresh fork oil, new avons, speedbleeders, etc. im having the 2nd gear issue....didnt matter, just went around it. had no problem passing my friends ultra and softail! did run some seafoam thru first tank, averaged about 36mpg. ran it hard! have fun!
  5. can i trade the one i just got for the black version???? hmmm?????
  6. i just paypal'd you for 1 bell. thanks!
  7. im on the other coast of florida, st pete area. my roommate just moved to tavernire, hes a condo manager! im in!
  8. hi earl, happy birthday! thanks for all your help with my vr. hope to meet up with you soon!
  9. that is one SICK ride! love it!
  10. it dipped below 70! winter is in full force, long sleeve shirts are necessary! but, i can still wear shorts....
  11. so, i wonder if the adapters would work....hmmmmm
  12. what if you changed rotors? they appear to be the same bolt pattern. what im saying is, 83vr forks, with 85vmax rotors, those adapters and r1 calipers.......
  13. found these surfing around. will these work on my mk1? seems a lot easier than changing forks. http://www.qualitypartsonline.com/r1_r6.htm.
  14. so what are the differences between the 83, which i have, and an 85vr? i found a bike locally, running, but always could use some parts. besides, my 2nd gear just went. will it work?
  15. scott, id love to come hang out with an airborne brother, but, calif. is not a cost-effective option for me. hey randy, how do i get ahold of that 83 trans? what else would i need to install it?
  16. well, when i rode it home, i noticed a jerking on heavier accel in second. when i acceled fast in second, it sounded like a crunching and hard jerking in second. sounded like it was behind my left foot. thought for sure i left some parts behind me! i rode it slowly home, and no issues with any gears. but man, it didnt sound good when i rode it hard.
  17. how do i expose what your showing me? sorry, i really dont have much experience with this.
  18. nothing with any other gear. just jerky on heavy accel with second, today, it clunked hard. sounded like it was behind me.
  19. it sounds like its in the final drive....
  20. yep. 2nd is jerking and today...CLUNK!...sounds like somethings giving out. ive heard mention of this 2nd gear issue, but, whats the fix?
  21. how can you be cold if the bikes on fire?????
  22. looks great! i might take mine back apart and redo them! so you wiped off all the old numbers with brake fluid? if so, cool. i didnt like the line up of the vinyl on my 83. old numbers shown thru cuz its for the 86-up. i have to solder in some jumpers anyhow for h.i.d. and led's.
  23. im going to be going progressives front with anti-dive blocking plates that skydoc has for sale. i get to remove that UGLY junk on my fork tubes. from what everyones says, its worth the 150 bucks. they havnt let me down yet....just ordered speedbleeders too.
  24. i like cheesecake......
