Therapy worked well. Wife hates naming vehicles.

In the early days of CD ROM, had a customer ask about the fancy cup holder in his computer! Laughed all the way to his house. Found he had broke the tray when he turned and hit it with his coffee cup in it, spilled coffee into his keyboard, shorted out motherboard. What a mess.

Merry Christmas to you, Don and family, and to all the rest of you here, hope to meet more of you as this new year rolls out!!

Happy Birthday Wayne !

Yep that is the size, but imho, i would not buy the cheapest tire, would go for at least the mid range.
-
Here is that road http://www.theatlanticroad.com/ looks like a great ride in good weather!

I really think the woman didn't understand!

Bob Let me know when you are meeting with Dave as I am also very near Sioux Falls and could meet up with a little notice! Have just got back from the Hills, spent 4 days riding, stayed at creekside campground just south of deadwood. Daryl

Try pushing fluid through it backwards, get new pump oil can and a piece of hose attach one end to oil can full of brake fluid and the other to bleeder on rear caliper, pump away till it comes out master cylinder, should work on front calipers also if air locked.

Myself, I won't worry about a 20lb difference, would still look at plugs, plug wire, vacuum leaks and timing. Do the wet compression test and see if it changes, but I doubt it will change much. Cylinder leakage test is better for finding out where it is leaking than compression test. MHO.

Figure on me!

Changing your own tires with hand tools. -$

All I will say is get it balanced before you put it back on. Dots mean nothing. -
Went and bought a jack from Northern tool, Torin, has a valve to turn that allows you to vary the rate as slow or fast as you want, not a preset value like that harbor freight scrap.
-
Bought one 2 years ago,have retired it to scrap, did not like the lowering options, fast or faster.
-
Will see how things shake out for the trip. May take you up on the offer.

No I do not put them on front Thanks for the info
-
Fuzzy The main reason for me is economic, $55 vs $150, hopefully many more miles, and to me, mc tires do not have enough of a tread pattern to run safely in the rain. So far what I have found is about 90% of the time you will not know the difference. When I did lean it over for a sharper curve I did feel the tire was on it's edge, but I don't really do the "peg scraping" thing with this bike, so it should be fine for me. If I don't replace this tire with another ct, I will be looking at all the mc tires and see if I can find one with a good tread pattern.

Well I have put a few more miles on now, not near what I want to, no wobble at 100, braking feels better, and I think the speedo is closer to true now. Also put a Kenda Kruz on the front, not what I wanted but son-in-law knew I was putting it on the front so he ordered a front not the rear I asked for. Will be taking a quick trip to Albert Lea this morning to meet my son. Will know when I get back how the combo works at interstate speeds.
