Yammer Dan Posted December 23, 2011 Share #77 Posted December 23, 2011 Saw it almost cover the ground once. I ain't saying nothing yet!! Hey Don What time of the year do we usually cut these southerners off til spring?? Must be getting close.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 23, 2011 Share #78 Posted December 23, 2011 It is getting VERY close. The only thing saving them at this time is that we have not yet had a real snow here. Very unusual, we have usually had at least 2 or 3 by this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steamer Posted December 23, 2011 Share #80 Posted December 23, 2011 Hey KIC, your quick question just got highjacked. Now we're talking about the "s" word? Why would you want to go and do that? can't you guys just leave well enough alone? In the words of a great statesman (big tom) I HATE SNOW!!!!!

Yammer Dan Posted December 23, 2011 Share #81 Posted December 23, 2011 I saw that by this time last year we had 11 inches. I haven't seen a inch yet. I think Skid got more than we did and he is only 30 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamer Posted December 23, 2011 Share #82 Posted December 23, 2011 I believe by this time last year we had over 40" of the nasty stuff. So far this year, maybe 2". I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Haywood Posted December 23, 2011 Share #86 Posted December 23, 2011 Those chrome "T"s just make it easier to reach the helmet lock up under the trunk box. Like Randy said, put the "T" through the helmet strap loops and lock the base of the "T" onto the helmet lock. Your bike looks like a twin to my 88. A lot of the same chrome extra's too! I thought I got a deal at $2100 including a HF trailer with box..but I think you might have done a tad better! Here's what mine looks like....like I said...almost a twin! I do have the saddle bag top rails...just not installed on these pictures. I was told to watch out for the radio connection box that clips onto the front of the trunk...they have a bad habit of walking away! OK Steve...............I am confussed. You live in Ontario but have Illinois plates on the scooter:think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted December 23, 2011 Share #87 Posted December 23, 2011 I posted a copy of the picture that was part of the EBAY listing from when I bought it in Aurora Il. Friends drove me to Watertown NY, took a bus to Syracuse, then train to Chicago, commuter train to Aurora, taxi to the house....gave it a quick look over and drove it home about 1100 miles (including detours!)

Rick Haywood Posted December 23, 2011 Share #88 Posted December 23, 2011 ROOKIE..??? ME ? I have yet began to blow up this forum with my many needy questions. Rode the bike for 40 miles in town today running errands ( and making show off stops). I do have a few questions to start: 1) OIL.... I have heard that it is better to use diesel oil. Is this true ? If so what brand type/weight etc ? 2) Front fork seals... Is there any special tools needed ? I have done my KLR650 seals before and had to make some special tools for it. 3) What is the preferred tire pressure for these puppies ? 4) Where is the best/cheapest place to get progressive springs for the front ? 5) Any special recommended spark plugs ? I'll just start with those and let the list grow from there.... OIL You mean you have to put oil in them 1st gen's:whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
