  1. for what it's worth, i did a LOT of research on copperheads, a couple of years ago. i had killed one that was 34 inches long, and was curious as to how big they actually get. anything over about 23 to 25 inches long, is a BIG copperhead. there has NEVER been a recorded FATALITY, from a copperhead bite! they WILL make you sicker'n a dog, and you may think you're gonna die, but so far , no deaths recorded. just jt

  6. i seem to recall a discussion a couple of years ago, about a "punch mark"indicating a 2nd gear repair. maybe Condor, can dredge up the thread and verify or disprove out theory. just jt

  18. and NOW you all know why i was "happier than a dead pig in the sunshine. i had p,m,ed brad, and told him i would send the balance, WHATEVER it was, and he informed me that it wasn't necessary. we were extremely close , already. i sure hope those needles are sharp!!! nothing hurts worse than a DULL needle! lol just jt
  19. Michael. the copper washer, that dan spoke of, is for the very bottommost bolt. in reality, is is a "drain plug", which allows the small amount of oil , trapped in the stator housing to be drained out into a container , before you remove the cover.without that copper washer, you will never stop your oil leak. just jt
  20. Marcy, i forgot to mention, it isn't an ENGINE whine. it is the "square cut " gears in the transmission. some have had acceptable results , by changing out the clutch basket, to the "I" model basket. nothing , it seems, completely gets rid of the WHINE. the I basket just changes the noise to a higher r.p.m. range at which it is "least annoying". just jt
  21. there is a "veritable encyclopedia", on here concerning the 2nd gen WHINE! just do a simple search, and you will find ALL the options, including a "goldwing" trade up! lol just jt

  24. Daniel, at one point, there was a thread , here, concerning people who had specialty tools, and different sized "shims", for the valve train". i think it was a "pass around, replace parts" type of deal, but off the top of my head, i can't remember WHO owns the tool, or WHERE it might be. i am sure someone, who don't have "sometimer's" will jump in here and help you out, shortly! just jt
