    So if I got it correctly with the info I've been given so far, is that I may have the wrong size bubbles with too much spring pressure associated with the lever travel and the rod return, but it only happens on even years so I should be alright til next year. But if it's only supposed to be half there, I should get a plate that if fully there or I might only get partial response from the bearings in the ball. Have I got it about right so far? I'll go take a look to see if any of those little critters made into the basket.

    85 Royale Last year it seemed to me that my clutch would not engage until it was almost fully released. This is the opposite problem that most of us seem to experience. Mostly we have problems with being unable to get the clutch to release, due to a bad master, or air in the line or a soft line. But my problem is that I feel that sooner or later, the way it's going, my clutch will refuse to fully engage and start to slip. That being said, I cannot get it to slip when fully released. I had that problem a couple of years ago and so replaced the clutch, and cleaned and rebuilt the master and the slave. So I'm looking for thoughts on this issue.

    If the covers have not had new gaskets somewhere along the line, you'll be due for those soon anyways,,, so you can do 2 items of preventative maintenance.

    Are you sure it's the shock that is groaning? My wife blames it something else and then stands back for a minute or two,,,,, sometimes she can be right,,, like once, oh never mind, she might read this.

    Had a problem with my 85 as well,,,,,, seems to be of the opposite gender and doesn't listen well to gentle persuasion. Knock it well on it head, it needs a sharp impact to wake it up.

    Friend of mine had a Vulcan,,, rode with his wife, but then to the problems with her back, bought something else,,,, yep a Venture. He's only 5'8" but says it better than the Vulcan. He also tried the Wing, but liked the looks and seating better on the Venture. After a year, he wouldn't trade it. The only thing to be aware of is the whine,,,, it could drive you nuts if it can't be fixed.

    Just got back from some real snow ploughing,,,,,, most in one place was about 1.5 inches,,,, ya the dot is supposed to in there. Maybe just a few more tools or maybe a bit of safety chrome, can't change from perfection,,, either in the scoot dept or the cage dept. Having a good time are you? Don't get cooked to well done.

    Now what are you trying to say with that statement,,,, this was all about tractors and such and now it's all about people you might know,,,, at least, who you think you might know,,,, somehow I think it's going to come around to friends of mine, so I'd better get the first shot in.

    Ya bu,,t cassettes are much more reliable,,,,, after all, they have been around for years:think:,,,can't say that for the I-pod,, it'll probably be replaced in the near future.

    The amount of fork oil has little to do with either CLASS or weight,,, unless you don't put enough in and then you'll find that things don't work as they should,,, or too much and then you'll start blowing things. The oil has to do with dampened travel of the fork. So put in the correct amount,,,, make sure you measure correctly with the fork COMPLETELY compressed. Measure a couple of times and make sure you pump the forks well before you do.

    Electric Starter, Saddlebags, Speedometer, Windshield, Headlights,,,,, wow it's got lots of goodies. If it's a mechanics special, I would think it to be somewhat cheaper,,, at this rate my 85 would be worth over 5 grand. At 2 grand, I couldn't make any money on it for sure.

    http://www.progressivesuspension.com/pdfs/forkSprings/3055.pdf This should help you out some. The manual calls for 13.5 oz, but that will be too much.

    Although it's romantic here,,,, we are more than an hour away, even in good weather, so I guess they're not coming here.
