Freebird Posted October 23, 2012 Share #51 Posted October 23, 2012 I've got one but how soon do you need it? I'm out of town so can't possibly get it shipped until the weekend. Not sure it's worth the shipping cost but would be glad to do it if you need me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestarmedic Posted October 23, 2012 Share #52 Posted October 23, 2012 Should be able to find a local tire. As many 2nd Gens that have had tire changes at Kregs, there should be a front tire that will work. If not, I have a friend at a motorcycle shop that can probably help.

lonestarmedic Posted October 23, 2012 Share #54 Posted October 23, 2012 I would like it if you would supply that old Avon. It will get a few feet on it rolling around the garage. I can drive the bike up into a garage instead of winching or pushing. I am sure Wilkie will appreciate it too. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestarmedic Posted October 23, 2012 Share #55 Posted October 23, 2012 As it will be laid up for a while, we could use help in figuring out a stand. Has anyone made a wooden version of the Carbon1 stand? Or an alternative method to elevate the bike off the floor? I have a motorcycle floor lift and a table lift. Also bottle jacks and car jacks. I know a Carbon1 with legs is ideal. However, the money for that item could purchase some needed used safety chrome. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestarmedic Posted October 23, 2012 Share #57 Posted October 23, 2012 Don, the 1986 is fine. However, Wilkie's 2001 green second gen is in need of parts. We will have fun getting it out of the wheel chock on the trailer. It is really locked in there with the flat tire. His is the same color combo as Kreg's I believe.

Squidley Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share #58 Posted October 24, 2012 Loaded Sappermedic's bike onto the trailer for the trip to Cleveland last night. However, his front tire has quite a few leaks due to cuts in the sidewalls. Need something that holds air so we can roll it around. Rim has a few nicks but should hold air. Anyone got 2-tone green duct tape to repair the fairing? JB I have the tire and rim thats on the '99 in the garage, we got it covered Hey folks, If you have a couple of chairs you can bring with you, that would be great. We have some, but not enough for everyone. Been busy getting some wood cut up for the bon fire, were pretty much ready to go besides the typical last minute stuff. Getting excited to see everyone on Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestarmedic Posted October 24, 2012 Share #59 Posted October 24, 2012 Wonder if Owen is coming. We light bonfires reeeaaaallll gooood!!!! Thanks on the rim and tire. If we can put the old Avon on a rim and it is straight and useable it would make a spare. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aharbi Posted October 25, 2012 Share #65 Posted October 25, 2012 Unfortunately I too have to drop out of MD. Papa Art is needed to help my daughter with the grand kids.

jburrell Posted October 25, 2012 Share #66 Posted October 25, 2012 Due to a recent family loss (My wifes step-Mom passed--she was step Mom for past 44 years.) we will not be able to attend. We will be going to East Texas to assist in handling Estate issues, moving furniture etc. I sure hope 2013 is better year since due to my/Lynns health etc I have missed every event for 2012 except 1. My health and lynns is finally on the mend somewhat. I also have a son and daughter in law moving in with us because he has MD and can no longer work so I also have to go to Round Rock in 2 weeks and move them down here to live with me and Lynn so likely all of November is going to be busy. We have known for years this would eventually happen and now we are dealing with how to move forward and handle the situation as best we can. The house is being remedeled to accomodate them this week. It will sure be nice when things finally get back to close to normal. :beersign::beersign::beersign: and I seldom drink!

mhaigwood Posted October 25, 2012 Share #68 Posted October 25, 2012 Thinking about coming down for MD. I ride a 2005 RSTD. having a idling problem. Checked on site and came to the conclusion that the pilot jets need to be cleaned. I have ran seafoam and several other cleaners through, changed the fuel filter and changed the plugs afterwards. The fuel pump seems to be working. Will there be anybody there that could help me with this? It seems a little more than my skill level, also would like to balance the carbs. Have been riding it using the choke for idle, will it hurt to ride it that far? Thanks in advance Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squidley Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share #72 Posted October 26, 2012 I just wanted to touch base on something that concerns me a bit. The end of my drivway is a bit funky. #1 There is some sand at the very end of it, so I want y'all to be aware of that and prepare for it. It also climbs up a bit, so when you pull in and straiten up commit and come up in, the rest is hard packed. #2 The driveway is not perpendicular to the road, if your coming from the West on Old 105, you'll turn in to the left and it's smooth sailing up as the driveway is angling to the right. If your coming in from the East on Old 105, your going to make a right in the driveway and it will continue to the right. If you go to Google maps and type in the address, then go to the satellite view and zoom all the way in you'll see how it is angled. Just wanted to give you a heads up so it wasn't a surprise when y'all pull in. Weather is looking to be nice and cool, and any rain should be long gone.....I'm pretty stoked!!

Kregerdoodle Posted October 26, 2012 Share #75 Posted October 26, 2012 Ride it on over, shouldn`t hurt anything, maybe foul a plug, but there will be plenty of folks there to help out. are you planning on replacing the jets or just cleaning them up??
