    Risers

    Condor replied to Rick Haywood's topic in Watering Hole

    Although I don't need it I could live with a little back, if I could get a significant rise in the grip position. By moving the pivot point of the riser father out from underneath the dash will it allow more rotation of the bars?? A few more degrees at the point will make 2-3 inches on the grips.. That's one thing I really liked about the 1stGen is the grip position possibilities...

    No Rick you're not invisible we're just ignoring you.... I have a question. Do the risers actually raise the bars, or do they move the bar back. I sit a little tall in the saddle... and wear a white hat but we won't get into that... and I'd be interested if, when they are installed, they allowed the bars to be rotated up a bit. I don't need the bars any closer to me..

    OK guys... I need to know your trick that makes it so you can pump up the pressure on the pedal, and hold it while you run around and crack the bleeder valve on the front left brake??? I'd also like to know how you build up pressure on the clutch and then crack the bleeder on the clutch slave???

    Who pays attention to the mascots?? I'd rather judge the cheer leaders, and dance teams.....

    A lot of them still use CB for traffic conditions, Smokie reports, etc. The cell phone is great when contacting the office, wifey poo, or delivery site, but when it comes to why the big traffic jamb, the CB is still king....

    Geeze... ya'd think they could have come up with a cockpit cover... Think one of those is sitting in the show room of Corbin in Holister....?? All the comforts of a cage with the wind.... and rain... in your hair.... :cody

    It's a supply and demand thing when it comes to prices. Luxury items will start falling, and everyday 'needs' will rise to the point that they are no longer affordable and will stabilize. Most of the things we import are coming from China, Korea, and Taiwan. I haven't seen a thing about any damage to the China mainland, and it's a lot closer than the west coast of the US. Australia and the South Pacific should have been effected also, but again no mention in the media. One thing that will happen is when a need get in short supply, and prices inflate, competition will jump on the band wagon. The economy is like the sea with the ebb and flow of the tide. When a void developes, the sea will fill it. I'm not a big believer in the media and their 'Sky is Falling' sensationalism. Japan has suffered a huge hit by mother nature, but they are a resiliant people and they will survive. Look what happened after Heroshima and Nagasaki.... My

    Had to run and get a towel to mop up the slobber.... Also had to stop before getting to the Buffalo Burger... :cody

    I had an '83 where the speakers would cut in and out. I cleaned the controller plugs with electrical spray and cured the problem. Pull the tape deck and radiio controller panel. On the underside there are two buss plugs. Give them a shot of elec contact cleaner and reinstall the panel. Wiggle it around a bit when pushing it down. The panel is made to remove off the bike. That's why is has a lock on it and the two chrome handles..... Just another thought...

    I'd think about picking up a 10" netbook. Should do everything you want... They just don't have a CD.

    You've probably already done this, but turn the CB is off... Other than that it's on to the amp connections... WEll.... one more thing. pull the front turn signals out and behind them there should be a green speaker connector in there somewhere. If you can get to it, clean them and see what happens...

    They replaced one of mine twice before getting one that didn't crack. The third one was a charm.... :cody

    The title of this thread is about an '86. SO you might want to post your question/problem in the 2ndGen forum. Tagging it onto a 1stGen thread isn't much help. Also I'm as dumb as a brick when it comes to messing with a 2ndGen audio systems. Someday I'm sure I'll be a little better versed, just not now....

    #1 I'm not sure how a antenna cable gets even close to the rear caliper, but wadda I know. # 2 if the squeel is constant and it doesn't come thru the speakers then the problem is somewhere between the AMP and the headset connections. Have you tried unplugging the controller dash panal and replugging it again. Sometimes it's just a bad connection in the plugs. If that doesn't solve the problem you may need to pull the left dash and get in there and clean the plugs on the amp. http://www.cast-aways.com/codypics/FinalCodyPatch.2.jpg

    Is it constant or does it change pitch with the engine RPM...?? http://www.cast-aways.com/codypics/FinalCodyPatch.2.jpg

    Too bad you're not planning on attending the International in Cody at the end of July. Plenty of things to see and a great place to call home before Sturgis... As far as lodging goes it's gonna be tuff. Motel rooms start getting scarce around that time.... or bend over because it's gonna hurt your wallet... http://www.cast-aways.com/codypics/FinalCodyPatch.2.jpg

    Hallelujah, We've been wanting the city requirement for years. With a state that's 900 miles long it will make it a lot easier to follow up on new members.... As far as the name, I don't really care, I guess I'm just not that paranoid.... It's been available all over the net ever since Al Gore invented it.. and it's never presented a problem...

    Do the Sea Foam Dance first before pulling the carbs. I picked up an '83 that had sat out in the rain unprotected for 2 years. Got it to cough with carb cleaner, and emediately shut it off. This was with the old fuel. Then filled the tank with 4 gallons of fresh fuel and the entire can of Sea Foam. Fired it up again and it ran like cr@p, but it did idle, so just let it run. The longer it idled the better it ran. Tossed in a set of plugs and sync'd the carbs, and d@mn that thing ran strong. I'da kept it, but with all the mods I'd done to the first '83, I didn't want to start over.

    We've been watching it all day on FOX news. Some of the scenes of the tsunami damage are incredible....even here in NorCal... The news is quoting up to a 1000 dead. I hope that's all, but not optimistic. My Nephew is on his way again. He's a member of L.A./SAR and this is his third assignment. Haiti, Australia, and now Japan. Prayers sent......

    The first Gen's take the YTX18L-BS DEKA battery. Bohanon offers them for $94.00 on your doorstep, which is about the best price I can find anywhere outside of becoming a dealer.. http://www.bohannonbattery.com/html/motbat/18lbs.html No matter which AGM battery you buy just make very sure it's made in the US. I ran into one battery from Bike Master that failed after 1 year. After searching all over the place we finally found that it was made in Taiwan.
