    Here's hoping that Rick ended up where he thought he might be going, if that turned out right he will be at peace now. Condolences to those who miss him and are mourning his passing.
  2. Now that should work just fine. Do you need instructions on how to use it properly now? Looks to me that we could have a go fund me to buy you a workbench, seeing as you don't seem to have one.
  3. Was he impressed?
  4. There's an 86 sitting in my garage. Ready for some love work. Used to belong to Swifty ( David Fast). Bought it to restore for my nephew, but that didn't work out.
  5. What with all the weeds and grass clippings? Just so you know we notice more than just the bike and the safety chrome. Good choice on your part, looking forward to your input and comments.
  6. You are most likely having an issue with the former owner in that he installed that on his own. Keep following the wire is the best I can suggest.
  7. Yep,,, we obviously know how to do it right, but we also want to helpful to those who don't know or understand the right directions, so seeing as we are familiar to both we can use what suits best.
  8. take a close look at the boots to make sure they are properly seated. Look all around and then look again, you'll need a light. Check both top and bottoms. They can be a pain to seat 100 % proper.
  9. Are the boots cracked?
  10. Guess what you might call the cable, the inner flex shaft.
  11. Most of us run 87.
  12. Take the old insert out and toss it. Form a plastic washer to fit in the connection, Screw it together. It doesn't have to be leak proof, just dust resistant. Hope you ate replacing the jacket as well as the insert.
  13. A movement of 1/32 of an inch will make a world of difference. Don't go too fast if it's not right, can be very dangerous, deadly!
  14. Check the progressive website for best info. So many inches to the top of the tube.
  15. Guess that is not the answer then.
  16. The one seal would be grooved, the other I think is flat. Grooved to the outside.
  17. That looks to be the ATS I think it's called. Was used to 'balance' the carbs somehow, but I don't think it done what is was really meant to or thought to do. Most guys took it out and either linked the carbs together with tubing or plugged the ports altogether. There should be a port for each carb on it somewhere. JMT.
  18. There you go! Good answer!
  19. Yep. You can become a paid member with all the benefits. Home page, top, store, subscriptions and pay the fee. Only $12 US per year.
  20. Top of the home page, the very top, go to store and then subscriptions. There you may pay your entrance fee.
  21. I don't think you'll get much higher than 13.5. 12.8 shows a good battery after sitting all night, 12.6 is a full battery.
  22. On a second look, there does seem to be 2 numbers that are needed to complete the rebuild. Somebody more knowledgeable needs to chime in here.
