  1. I've had a couple come apart. Maybe they were pried apart in the past at some time, and if they were just pushed back together they will come apart again.... For the most part the keepers are permanently installed and not meant to be seperated.
  2. Nice write up Earl. One question. To get the old diaphragms off, did you just pull out one edge and the rest came along for the ride?? My concern would be to get the entire diaphragm out without tearing and leaving pieces in the groove between two plastic keepers... Most of the diaphragms I've seen have those two keepers pressed together pretty tight, and donn't give much space to get that inner lip out of the groove.
  3. Ya know, that doesn't look outta place at all. Has someone already done that, or is it direct from photoshop???
  4. Yep, and I love my PITA 1stGen!! And your point is??? :rotf:
  5. Never....
  6. Thanks for the pics Earl. One point. Your drain should be in the 'off' position or you're by-passing the thermostat... 'Course you knew that...huh??
  7. Holy Cr@p!!! And I thought the 1stGens were a PITA to get to....

    arm rests

    Well it's up to $120 bucks. I'm out...before I was ever in.... I need a varmint scope for my 222Rem more than I need a set of arm rests....
  9. Did anyone else catch the news about Warren Buffet loaning..investing? 600 big ones to Harley at 15% interest. Sounds like loan sharking to me?....
  10. I agree with the toll roads, but it's a long ride of probably 150+ miles to go from SF to the north penninsula via the freewqay system... and it ain't purdy... than cough up the $12-$15 bucks to go over the 1/2 mile Golden Gate Bridge. They got us by the nads... I wonder if we could get the bridge authorities to issue MC exemptions.... Nah!!!
  11. When riding in hot weather, it's more important to sip fluids during the ride than stopping every hour and a half and guzzle a Desanti. If it's 105+ and you're not feeling the heat while riding, your wicking moisture out of your body like crazy. In an hour and a half you can become very dehydrated.

    arm rests

    I already have the link saved and will take a shot at them if they don't go too high. So don't let me stop anyone from doing the same thing....
  13. Around here they charge by the extra axles. One axle trailer is double, and a tandem axle is triple the base cost. Some of our bridges are now charging $4 bucks per, and I think the Golden Gate is $5. A tandem trailer will bump you up to $12-$15 bucks.
  14. When you go over a toll bridge, or onto a Tollway, do they charge you extra for the trailer behind the scoot?? I've never pulled a bike trailer over one of our toll bridges here in NorCal, but when pulling my inclosed tandem trailer they charge more than twice than what just my pickup would cost. Pisses me off!! Thought it would be interesting to disconect it and push it thru the toll booth. We also have toll free car pool lanes that allow bikes at certain times during the day. I wonder if the free-b would also include towing a trailer???
  15. I'm wondering if an RSV will fit in a 8' trailer if the front wheel is turned to the stop and it's loaded caddy corner??? BTW a V nosed trailer is still the same length as a non-V on the inside. The builders can take an 6'er, add a V nose and call it a 8'er and charge more. So in retrospect a 10' V is actually an 8'. The only thing the V accomplishes is cut down on wind resistance. Confoosed?? No... Well I am... Buy a 10 foot standard trailer and be done with it.....
  16. I think there's a key from the '83 in there.....somewhere...
  17. Fowled plug. SeaFoam has a tendency to do that.... All the varnish has to go somewhere. Put in new plugs and I bet she'll fly again....
  18. :thumbsup2:
  19. Another thing beside tongue weight is axle alignment. It may be tracking off to one side and when you hit 70+ the wind stream is starting to effect it. Flip it upside down and measure the distance from each side of the axle to a midpoint on the coupler.
  20. To get to the back of the dash you will need to pull the windshield and trim off.. Not a big deal... And like already mentioned you can get to the dash cover retaining screws thru the turn signal openings with a long phillips screw driver. 2 screws on each side. Actually there's a bunch of light's that should be replaced. Don't just replace the one's that aren't working...replace all 7 or 8 of them. I picked up Sylvania 158's at my local autoparts store. What would be interesting is to find LED replacements for the dash lights??? Next time....
  21. Wait a few months and put it back up on Ebay and make a few bucks.... Next time make sure it's off a 90-93.
  22. Or about $100 bucks off Ebay...
  23. Call me when you hit the lotto. I just took a nice set of VentureLine boards off my '91 and thought I'd wait around for better times before putting them on Ebay.
