    back rest

    Condor replied to dell's topic in Watering Hole

    It would probably be cheaper to by a Markland.

    I'm pretty sure they don't make mounts that will adapt that back rest to an '83-'85 MKI. Only time I've seen them is on a MKII..... Good luck in your search, and Cheers back atcha.....

    Carb Sync

    Condor replied to 72ranger's topic in Watering Hole

    The only time I get hit with the timed out is when I take too long entering the neccessary info. It's been a long time since I picked up mine so the memory fades as to what's needed. The idle speed isn't all that important, just as long as it's not set way low. Idle within reason and sounding good is OK. It's not really a problem with the 2ndGens as much as it is with the 1stGens that have been bought used, since the idle adjustment screw is right out there in front of God and everybody, but if the idle screw doesn't effect rpm let me know and I'll send you a longer instruction write up on how to deal with it. With 1stGens previous owners who don't have a clue on where to adjust the idle start turning all the sync screws and can really mess things up... Don has a nice write up on syncing the 2ndGens in the tech section.

    I just picked up 2 E3's for the '99 from Jake Wilson. $210 sitting on the porch. Took the bike to my local Y dealer and had them mounted and balanced for $90... $300 total. Not to bad...

    In my opinion that bike took one hell of a shot. Is that the only area that's damaged? It's repairable, but you'll be looking at a lot of time and energy spent in the fix. The compressor is probably disconected because the owner never read this board and was blaming the non-op on the compressor instead of the CLASS controller. But then again the controller is right in the middle of the damaged area. It could be toast. It all depends on what the asking price is. $400-$500 take it. Any more than that... walk away...

    OK, here's a devils advocate question. If you had the air bag would you ride more relaxed and a little less attentive??

    Speaking of autographs. Did you sign a release and get paid anything??

    Interesting read Rick. So what's going on with this project??

    I saw that exact same thing happen about 6 months ago without the bag. Thought the guy was dead. He lived...miracles do happen. That bag looks like it gives off an E ticket ride.

    Carb Sync

    A tank of bad gas could be the culprit. I can't see a set of carbs needing a sync after just 30 days.

    I have an alligator infestation going on and haven't even called yet. Around here things don't get nasty until after the first of the year. So go ahead and pick up the one from New Enuff.... I'll let everyone know down the road a bit....

    Yep, anger management classes might help.....

    back rest

    Condor replied to dell's topic in Watering Hole

    Most of the '83's were Markland. Can you take a pic and post it? There's 2-3 different brackets depending on which model you have.

    So..... I was watching the noon news on FOX and this ad pops up. The bike is the right color. It's an RSV. But it ain't a soup commercial...., but could it be????

    From what I've read on the board 404's aren't known as a high mile tire. Keep a real close eye on it. With two up and the trailer you may be pushing it....

    Rebuild kits come with a new piston, rubber cup, and spring. The lever side isn't included. Y probably.... On the side stand. Try picking up another SS on Ebay. Once the yoke has been bent out of shape, reshaping it, and getting the new bolt to thread will be near impossible....

    Nice tat... My son did tats before he passed away, and now his son... my GK... is doing them. I'm a tattoo virgin, but I think tat's are cool. I'd get one but I can't come up with anything significant and meaningfull as a design. After all it has to last the rest of my life, which at my age ain't saying much....

    You have to remove the side covers and the front lowers. If you have the OEM tool kit it comes with a double ended spark plug remover, and 2 or 3 large mm box end flat wrenches and handle. Slide the remover in over the plug and take the flat box that fits the remover and break the plug loose. Then take a length of 1/4" fuel line and slide it over the porcilan of the plug and unscrew it. The fuel line really makes it easy. One of the ends of the remover has a rubber piece up inside to hold the new plug. Put the new plug in that end and by hand slip the plug into the hole and wiggle it while starting the threads. This keeps you from cross-threading anything. Once the threads are started pull the remover off and grab the hose again. Thread the plug in the rest of the way with the hose. Put the remover back on and snug the plug down with the flat box. It sounds like it's complicated, but should only take about 5 minutes per plug. Some folks have said they use a thin wall socket... 18mm I think... but I'll be damned if I can find one. I'm sure they're out there but I have better things to do than chase down a thin wall plug. I put them in the same catagory as the 2nd Gear punch mark....

    Personally, without passing judgement on others, I won't drink anything that will effect my reaction time while riding a bike, or behind the wheel of a car for that matter. It's dangerous enough riding a bike without adding another variable to the equasion. During the day it's water, but when the day's over, and there's no possibility of climbing back on the bike, a couple of beers taste pretty good.
