If you plan to travel to the island book your ferry passage early. We always book a cabin if traveling on the night or day crossing. Its cheaper for a cabin on the day crossing and you have a nice quiet place to relax for the 6+ hr trip. Keith

If you have a Carquest Auto store near by check with them. Deka are handled/made by EastPenn www.eastpenncanada.com They supply us (Honda Dealership) EastPenn that is and I was talking to them last year about getting a Deka battery this year with my car battery order. As far as I know they also supply Carquest but not sure if they relabeled. Keith

I bought a set of T handle JIS screw drivers in 1977 when I bought my Honda 750....still have them and use them from time to time. Keith

When I installed mine on the front I cleaned the back real well and got me a handfull of silicone and smeared it around the top edge and sealed it up so that any dirty water wouldn't hang up there or run down on the outside of the flap. Make Sense? Keith

Not sure if this will help Keith

You can put my name on the list for a set of Lock Bezel Plates. Keith

Looks great......I'd say you are going to be in the chrome accessory business! Keith

I have been receiving e mails on this unit...they must be proud of it ! Keith http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/motorcycle-cruise-control/part/BAW-MCC

Try these guys www.yamahasportsplaza.com/ . I ordered most all my accessories from them and maintenance items as well. Always good service and prices. Not so good for us Canuck's now that our $ has gone in the crapper. Keith

I've seen what Kevlar will do to metal in another application. Maybe hard on the rotor. Keith Currently, Kevlar has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to body armor because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure it is 5 times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis

Me and my 77....sold it a few yrs ago. Keith

Dion I would like to get one of the bypass setups that you make for the Venture.The keyless feature would be nice as a backup. When you get a chance send me the payment details. My bike will be in storage till May so no panic. Tks Keith

I'm not having any trouble but would like to have a ready made bypass (sounds like heart surgery) if it was available to purchase from a member. Keith

Just wondering if this item became available ? Keith

Saw this when I was out and about this AM.... Keith

"The bitter cold temperatures experienced over much of North America over the last week or so has been caused by a southern shift in the polar vortex, pulling Arctic air down over the continent. According to NASA, the polar vortex is a persistent large area of low pressure, found typically over both the north and south poles. As of yesterday, the polar vortex had pushed down over the north-central US, bringing with it frigid temperatures to areas as far south as Georgia and Alabama." We have been having some severe weather here....record braking lows last week...power problems....raining and 10c deg today Keith

I bought a set of T handle JIS screwdrivers when I bought my 1977 Honda 750k....still have them. I mentioned them to our tech's at work(Honda dealership) and they had no idea what I was talking about...one of them old feller things! Keith
