  1. I agree with most , but not necessarily with everybody, but then again I still have no idea what this thread is about, so I might still change my mind..
  2. Both of mine, the 87 & 89 are at 11 3/8's.
  3. Just remember that the bottom of the Grand Canyon will be hot at that time of the year. I have just poured water over my mesh jacket to work as a evap cooler. But it is a great ride. I might be doing that area in late July. Bill
  4. No problem....as your understudy I try to be there for you during your DQ runs....
  5. Don't worry.... you ride a 2nd Gen so we are all used to the whining...
  6. What is also sad is that you rarely hear of these losses and sacrifices any more. Brian and Ashley were only married a year and a half. My daughter was just talking to Ashley on Thursday and she was telling her that when her enlistment was up at the end of their deployment she was not going to re-enlist and wanted to start a family. He was there for my daughter on their last tour when she hit her IED. Now they took him. He and his wife were just on mid-tour leave together and bought this "project truck" on May 6th to restore when they returned from Afghanistan. So many dreams shattered. Rest in peace Brian. You will be missed.
  7. I like that mod. Good job.
  8. California PGR Riders: A personal friend and Hero.. If you are a Patriot Guard Rider in the Lucerne Valley California area please know that you will most likely have an upcoming Mission for a Sgt Brian Walker, U.S Army MP, Airborne. Brian gave his ultimate sacrifice today for his country. He served with my daughter and her friend Ashley during her last deployment. It was after that deployment that they married and was on his second deployment with his wife Ashley and her sister, all Airborne. It seems it was a family deployment. Sgt. Brian Walker was a great guy, husband and friend to anybody who knew him. They just returned from mid-deployment leave and he was on a mission when his vehicle hit an IED. Sgt Walker; you served our country proudly. You will be missed. RIP my friend. We will keep you and your beautiful Hero wife and family in our prayers.
  9. I agree...it would be a good idea if he took a parts list to the mechanic and had him "ID" the exact bushing he is talking about.
  10. My 89 forks had a "bushing type" end cap that didn't show up on the first parts diagram I had. Look on the right side of the diagram below and see if they are talking about part # 30.62 and I posted a picture of the "cap". Just a thought.
  11. DO NOT READ THE DIRECTIONS !!!:no-no-no: IF ..you do...you will immediately be kicked out of the He-Man Tough Guys Club...and you will have to buy a Moped !
  12. Me too.... I still find places that oil shot to when I removed mine...
  13. Wow..... sounds like you were ready to blow a fuse...... but you didn't have any.....
  14. Good Luck on the job. The first time is intimidating but we are all here to help you through it. Here is the link to my experience: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=66781&page=9 Bill

    Hey Big Tom...

    If its real... it should have its own zip code.
  16. PM me you address so I can get those carb parts in the mail . I mighty even loan you my new Carbtune to sync them.
  17. I would voice your concern with the HR Dept. Then if that doesn't work, a black magic marker will draw a nice mustache and beard over the picture...
  18. I looked at both my 87 and 89 and neither one has any threads available to use if the nut is on the bolt. So..... do you use a longer bolt or a thinner nut ? Inquiring minds want to know...
  19. So...getting back on track.... are these in all bikes or are they an aftermarket type accessory ? Do they actually add anything to the riding comfort of the bike ?
  20. These are common lights. I think this link will direct you to the lights/lens: http://www.aftermarketcyclepartsnation.com/Drag-Specialties-RECTANGULAR-TWIN-MARKER-LIGHTS-detail.htm?productId=7724779&catalogId=&searchProducts=2040-0299
  21. It's an $189.00 option alongside the trailer hitch option and the 12-volt cigarette lighter.
  22. Do these replace the nut on the end of the bolt ?
  23. The Flying Hovercraft. This is the hovercraft that glides over land and water yet also soars in the air up to 70 mph with the aid of integrated wings. A 130-hp twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline engine -- turbocharged and fuel-injected -- drives its 60" wood/carbon composite thrust propeller while a 1,100-rpm 34" lift fan inflates its durable vinyl-coated nylon skirt for hovering above the ground. Operating in fresh- or saltwater and up to 30% inclines over sand, mud, grass, swamp, desert, ice, and snow, its wings and horizontal elevator enable pilots to simply hop over water- or land-based obstacles up to 20'-high unsurmountable to a typical hovercraft. A joystick controls three vertical rudders and the elevator, a twist friction-lock throttle controls forward speed, and a variable drive system controls the lift fan for hovering. Braking is provided by lowering the lift fan's rpms; comes to rest on Kevlar composite landing skids. Its low center of gravity and composite fiberglass/PVC hull enable it to operate in winds up to 25 mph and waves up to 6' when in flight. Two nine-gallon gasoline tanks provide a 160-mile range. Supports pilot/passenger payloads up to 600 lbs. for flight. Requires registration as a boat. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply. Please call 1-800-227-3528 for details. 19' L x 7'8" W x 6'6". (1,100 lbs.) http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=11933 Price: $190,000
  24. Well actually by the time I was done unloading them I smelled more like a sweaty grease pile, but thanks anyways .
