    Mini-muffin, Per your request, I managed to get 13 of those "items". Special shipping arrangements have been made. PLEASE...don't mention a word to Homeland Security about where you got those from... I know Nothin' !! ( Said in my best Sgt Schultz voice )

    So yesterday I was looking for a box of stuff and found an old box of photos going back to 1975. One of the envelopes had the photos of my very first road trip on a bike. It was in 1977, I was 18, in the Coast Guard and stationed in Yorktown VA and had just bought a slightly used Honda 360T. A couple of guys and I were going to go ride to D.C. They canceled at the last minute. I went by myself. As the pictures show, I rode through Virginia and around D.C. Being a desert rat from Arizona, the sights and scenery were pretty awesome. I ended up at the Capitol and then turned around and rode back. As you can see... I also had my first set of "poor man" saddle bags...

    Here is some information on the MK1. Also, a document on the information to check when looking at a bike. This was supplied to me from this forum and I printed it off and used it when looking at my 89. I also used it when I bought my 87. CHECKLIST for 1st Generation VENTURES.doc

    Who would have thought Dan was worth so much....Saw an article titled: Microsoft Said to Agree to Buy Yammer for $1.2 Billion

    They won't work on your 86. You would have to redo the whole muffler bearing set up, the fuel injection into the turbo and the mess. Guess I will have to take them for my 89. So just ship them to me please.

    I have played around with a soldering iron and ABS plastic scrap. You have to have the same type of plastic to use as a filler. You melt the plastic while adding the additional filler plastic and it holds. I made some new side taps and soldered/welded/melted them onto the the existing side covers. They look pretty good. Used a pair of dikes to cut and trim the taps. Used the other side's tabs as a pattern. This HF system looks interesting but at $80.00, my cheapo iron works pretty good. Go to a plastic manufacturer in your area ( makes signs etc) and ask for a piece or two of scrap ABS. I got a big piece for $2.00

    Here is the info on how to make one of the switches a garage door opener. This is a different option available : [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dR6t2zCLaA]Automatic Motorcycle Garage Door Opener - YouTube[/ame]

    I was looking for a definition of a word/phrase and found this.. thought I would pass it on.. a little interesting reading in some spots.. http://www.squidoo.com/Biker-Lingo
  18. KIC
    That's OK. I understand not wanting a 2nd Gen to even remotely "taste" a 1st Gen. It would then develop a personality conflict of wanting to be a 1st Gen, but looking like and running slow like a 2nd Gen. Last thing we need is a slow, confused, cross-dressing 2nd Gen. It might wind up looking, and running, like a Hardly...

    Brian, It seems that most (90% ?) of the 1st Gen bars are at the same setting. I would just figure that that would be your target audience on the group buy. I think once a price was out there, for like 20, you would be able to gauge the actual purchase amount. If you get enough at that amount, and more want them, the price could lower a little and bring even more buyers to the table. Just a thought. Bill

    how do you recalibrate them ?
  21. KIC
    Congrats...so does he ride ?

    So it seems to be leaking in the morning when it is cool. Once I ride it, it doesn't leak. Expansion and contraction... just like my wallet...

    Brian, What is the status of these ? all 4 of mine had the same 11 1/4ish measurement with the bars in what I consider the normal position. I would be interested in 2 of these for the 89 and 87. You gotta quit teasing us with these cool things and tell us the feasibility of having them available. I know you are planning your trip..... just don't forget about those of us out here...
  24. KIC
    I am very interested in one of these. I have instructions somewhere on how to convert a garage door opener using a button/switch. You can hide the opener and just push the button. This would be perfect for that. Actually... I will need two..one for the 89 and one for the 87. Bill
