    I've often fantasized about going back 200 years in the west.... with a Win 94 30-30 and a bunch of ammo....

    One bowl isn't going to mess things up... Just don't inhale. Evaporation depends on the climate. Cold and humid and it'll probably last 6 months or more. Hot and dry and maybe a month??

    We've been with Netflix for years. Started out with the 3 DVD membership for around 12-13 bucks. When they started offering online streaming it was free at first, so what the hey.... Then they started playing silly games on what the monthly charge would be, and we finally dropped the DVD service and went streaming only for $8 bucks a month like most of you. The only cretique I have with the online stuff is the movies are old, unless they are 'B' grade stuff, or one that never made it. It's amazing how many films died in the can... With online only there aren't any new releases... which ticks me off... Netflix also changed their streaming method to SilverLight and since then I can get anything in HD. Called them about it and they acted like I was the only one having the problem. They need to check what's written on the web. Why do customer services think they can lie about something when info is open on the web?? Anyway no resolve.... I wish there were something else available. I think I'd change services...

    40mpg is about right, and each guage acts a little differently. Especially on a 30 year old bike. My '83 would take around 3.2-3.4 gallons with one bar showing My odo works and have usually travel 150 miles... I think your right where you should be....

    Print the online page out and take it with you along with the coupon...

    Do you remember what they usually get for them?? I got the pair at an auction for $25 bucks. The OCC bike has a chain drive that actually works.... The Old School bike is more artsy fartsy.....but cool none the less....

    Yep that's the one I bought from HF. I think it was around $39 bucks at the time and I squeeked about that.....

    There was also an Indian Trike but someone wanted it more than I did....

    I still have two bottles of lavender left. I wonder if Ride On will exchange them for the orange???

    Had a little extra space so I plunged and picked up a WestCoast Chopper 'Old School', and an OCC Retro Mod.... Really cool!! http://www.cast-aways.com/QUICKY/P1000901%20(Large).JPG http://www.cast-aways.com/QUICKY/P1000902%20(Large).JPG

    I tend to agree with George. I sync is in order. BTW which carb diaphragm did you repair??

    No offence taken. I just looked in my RSV manual and found this 93306-00420-00 BEARING (B6004) Hope it helps.

    Wow... what a deal. 125 mile ride and they're yours. Rob you're the man!!

    For the '83 I picked up an impact bearing puller from Harbor Freight and got the bearings to come off the races a little, then the drift punch worked. If I remember correctly the bearing number is 6003... at least for the '83. The 2ndGens may be the same?? I picked them up from my son-in-law who manages a wholesale parts supplier. The bearing come in several different configurations. Stainless, sealed, open. I think I bought Timkins?? BTW don't forget to pick up new seals. Unless you're really good at removing bearings...

    Hmmm... 6'9"... I never made it. Quit at 6' 8 1/4" while playing ball in college. Not anywhere near that now...gravity sucks.. I never did feel comfortable with a back rest. It crowds me even father forward, and I like to slide back as far as possible. When I'm traveling solo I stick a duffle bag in the passenger seat and use that to 'sofa', otherwise I don't use one... I pack all the soft stuff... socks, T's, etc... on one side so nothing digs into my back. It's really comfortable. Ride the Corbin without the rest and see how you like it. My '91 has a Corbin with the rest, but I never put it on. The Corbins are a harder seat, and will allow you to scoot back and get a few more inches arm room. The first 1000 miles you swear at them and then you swear by them... If it doesn't work you always have the OEM's.... BTW: ditto on the RSV comfort... Good luck.

    In your Venture. Would you ride it cross country tomorrow....???

    I think there's an adjustable hex plug at the base of the upright. You'll need to take the seat off to get to it.... Or not... but at least you get to see the base of the backrest and figure it out.

    Remove it and cap off the bibs. It's the YICS added to California models in the early years to satisfy C.A.R.B. smog rules which were more stringent than the rest of the US. After 30 years the thing is leaking everywhere. Make sure you toss a carb sync at it afterwards... Your bike is probably a TDKC. BTW you might want to replace the vacume advance hose between #2 and the boost sensor. By now it's probably leaking too...

    WOW!!!

    Just day dreaming here, but I wonder if... when inflating the tire..... the air is run through a dryer on the compressor. Like if it was used for spray painting. And the air should have some moisture in it??? Does that make sense??? :confused07:

    These engines love high RPM's. First and second gens alike. Lug them down and they'll suck gas like a horse eating oats.... Probably the best fuel economy you'll get is riding in the mountain twisties and using 2-3-4th, and very little 4th. You'll get +10 mpg. Seems weird but it happens....

    Drive a power spoon to stir my coffee in the morning....
