  1. Not gone south yet, but being watched real close. Might have some good come this yet,,,maybe!
  2. Can't seem to grasp it yet, can you say it again another way?, Maybe more pictures, or a video would be good.
  3. Already on the list.
  4. He a master at getting in the way me thinks maybe?
  5. You gonna start smoking a pipe?
  6. Was just askin''' that's all. haven't seen you in far too long, so needed to defresh my memory.
  7. Dawson and correct in the same sentence? Isn't that an oxymoron?
  8. Thanks for the vid, both of you being prayed for, nice to 'meet' ya'll y'all.
  9. Motley looking group, looks like everyone fits right in. Glad you were all able to get together.
  10. Anybody see Dawson? Where's elmo?
  11. Something that hasn't been mentioned: check the seal on the gas cap if you find water in the tank.
  12. I'm thinking to get a semi, maybe safer that way,,, with a sleeper maybe, and a shower as well,,, and if I get all that, might add a fridge. Looks good on yah,, enjoy it while you can.
  13. No MC needed, so no wipeouts, run out of gas, need cleaning,,,,, none of that if you don't need if you don't have one. Paul (St Paul) said that we will see the Lord of Lords and King of kings as he is. Seeing as He could get into rooms without opening any doors or windows, He has another dimension that we don't have yet. It doesn't say so specifically but I tend to think He could go where He wanted as well, whenever He wanted and at the speed He thought was necessary. So hence my thought that fast cars and hot MC would be redundant.
  14. Oh sure!!! You know the rule: if there are no pictures it didn't happen, but in this case I'll take your word for it. Glad you all had a good time, 'course that is not unusual when VentureRiders get together,,,, actually, it's more or less expected.
  15. HEY!! Don't see you in the picture,,,, are you there???
  16. Heaven is perfect, so no need for any MC.
  17. The metal OEM pipe will be history. An 1.5" pvc spacer is a good measure to start from. There should be a good amount of umph needed to get the screw cap to get threaded, if it goes on easy, make one a 1/2" longer.
  18. I've heard and experienced that a common problem is the nut holding the shifter lever on tends to come off, and there are other nuts that tend to come somewhat loose as well, 'course those are mostly on the drivers seat and in your case may or may not be an issue, but then that's only my opinion.
  19. I can understand what you were going through with trying to get the cap to thread. I use a t-bar with the proper sized socket, forks allowed to fully extend and then I have to put my shoulder into it as I carefully start the threading process. I used only 1/2 the available spacer and found that to be taxing enough to get things together, but it can be done.
  20. All roads eventually lead to home,,, glad you made it back safely.
  21. See your wind splitter is about as big as mine. Does it ever get you in trouble?? Mine has that habit!!
  22. Looks like you may have it. Time to test ride it. If you find it has a mind of it's own, back it off a bit.
  23. Not everybody will agree with me, fact is I expect some large??, but here goes. Clean out the master, clean out the master but do not push or pull on the handle in the process. Once clean, add some fresh brake fluid from a new can, maybe about 3/4 full. Lay the sealing boot on top of the reservoir to prevent fluid from shooting up and making a mess of things that are pretty. Now open the bleeder screw at the slave cylinder after attaching a hose that will go up and then down into a drain container. Only open the bleeder screw far enough to let the fluid come through, so maybe 1/2 turn.Fluid should start to ease out. You can help that along with quick pumps on the master cylinder, but don't let the reservoir run out of fluid. When you see clear fluid come through the hose (BTW it should be a clear hose) it is time to close the bleeder. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Now squeeze the handle to see if you have back pressure. If you do and the clutch is working, you could be good to go. If it's still limp or somewhat limp, squeeze the handle a couple of quick times and then while holding it in open the bleeder screw, fluid should come out and maybe some air. Continue doing this until there is no more air coming out for at least 3 sessions. If you still don't have a good feel on the handle, let it sit for an hour or two. Then with the handle bars turned to the right and the master cylinder at it's highest attainable spot, open the reservoir to make sure there is enough fluid and then wiggle the handle a bit (not much, just so the piston moves) while at the same time tapping the banjo bolt with the handle of a screwdriver. You might see some tiny air bubbles coming up into the reservoir. Maybe now you're done,, if not, ask some more.
