Marcarl

So Brenner, where abouts in Niagara are you. I've been reading this thread and would be interested in viewing your progress at time maybe. I visit in Grimsby on a weekly basis, and have a daughter in St Kits that I visit on occasion. I used to own an 85 until last year, and it also went to the Penninsula, Dain City area. I also have a whole box full of parts that may or may not be useable. Maybe we can get together.

Now what are we counting,,,, I'd rather count up,,, counting down is soooo morbid, there is only so much time left.

It should start just fine, hot or cold. Try some new plugs, NGK for my preference, tried others but never had any better luck. My 85 was developing starting issues, so I rebuilt the carbs. It thanked me in more ways than one. As time goes on the passages in the carbs will become less clean than when new and they weren't designed to be half clean, so clean them up,,, good idea and it gives you something to do. It's not nearly as problematic as you might think. Pretty easy and straight forward.

I keep what ever balls I find, you just never know when a feller might need them. So I measured some that I have that come from England I believe .125 or.157,,, interested?

I think Fools machine is working just fine, just needs a little aiming, that's all. Got the call Wed eve to be on site for 4 am Thurs, expecting about 10cm,,, so that should be about 6 hours,,, RIGHT???? WRONG!!!!! we ended up with 18cm (that's 7in instead of 4in in plain english) and we were there for 20hrs straight. Thanks Fool, the boss owes me some money!

More trouble south of the border,, guess I might have to get ready to help out!

Looks old enough to have been Puc's,, wonder how much he got for it????

Watching them close may seem like an option, but not much help if all of a sudden one day they give out. I would be content for myself if my tires were 6 years old, but then that would be the limit,, time to replace. Hey, we do this for enjoyment and where is the fun of it if you have to be concerned about your tires all day long. Crap can happen awful fast.

I guess there was a reason why our fathers drew the 49th where they did,,,, at least our guys knew where to keep all the BS and leave us Canucks in sane-hood.

Ya they think they have my picture, but I gave them one that shows a pony tail,,,,,, no idea who that would be,,,, but it sure makes me to be good looking, and that's a feat in itself.

A COW?????? with all his bull????

Hey,,,,, I resemble that remark. Can I get you name and address so that I can come and beat you down??

My neighbor has a Harley!! or my cousin, or my brother-in-laws, brothers uncle's nephew's friend, but he sold it last year. The one I hear mostly of late is: I LOVE THAT COLOUR!!!! After that they want to know what kind it is, who makes it and if will go fast,,,,,,,duhhhh, will it go fast???? wanta come?

Wonder what he would do if he were to take his wife along? OK, I'm back to my corner!!!

It seems ok to me,, but then it's Sunday and on Sunday everything should be ok. Now Bob on the other hand, still needs some adjusting,,,, next time out I'll get to it.

You're not the only one with that issue, suggest progressives.

If I get you to send me a buck, does that mean for sure I WON'T get a Hardley???? You should have know it was a fast scam,,, why with a name like Ferrari.

Did you really want to type s hitzu? I don't see that we have a problem wit that. Opps I guess we do!

So is that where all this grey matter is coming from?

Oil in the air box is from having too much oil in the crankcase. Oils level should be no more than 1\2 way up the sight glass or it will be sucked up into the airbox.

It didn't happen,,, we all know it,,, no pics

Now I understand why he was saying it was too hot between his legs.

Rear wheel, as well as front wheel, have a bearing at either end with a collar in-between. The only way I know is to destroy the bearings on the way out. The inner collar (bushing) has a positioning collar around it at the one end and the other end is loose so to speak so you can move it over. To move it over to one side might be a bit of an hassle because of the grease and dirt that might or might not be hidden around it. Take a long screwdriver and from the opposite end try to move the collar over a bit to expose the center race of the bearing. If that works, well enough, if it doesn't try the other way. Once you can see the inner race from the opposite end you can now use a punch to drive that bearing to kingdom come. Once the inner race is destroyed the inner collar (bushing) will come out and the rest is elementary. There are also seals and keeper rings in there, look for them and you'll see them.

YOU DID IT,,,, YOU DID IT,,,,, I just knew you could,,,,,, but I realize remembering isn't as easy as it used to be EH? Tuckers??? We're coming!!!

JMHO, mounting lights lower does not necessarily give better lighting. The beam will soon run out of distance. Also, the light will be harder for others to identify if mounted too low. There is an optimum distance from the ground for lights to be effective, but I can't remember what that is, probably around 24-36 inches or so. If mounted too low you need to point the beam up, and that tends to blind the oncoming driver,,,, never a good idea to blind an oncoming driver as 'he' would be the one to take you out because of it.
