    Everything should then be riding on the two bearings as intended. Yes, 110 ft/lbs is a bunch of torque. For giggles, you could try backing of the torque a little and see if the wheel spins any easier. It's only going to cost you a cotter pin to see what effect it has. Gary

    Does your real wheel spin somewhat freely when off the ground & in neutral? Gary

    Looking at the parts fiche, it shows the part number changed in 1984. I have no idea as to what changed. !983 # 26H-23110-00-00 1984 # 41R-23110-00-00 I have an set of forks that came off of my 83 when I put MKII brakes on it. They look to be in undamaged condition in seal area. There is some marking where the triple tree attached, which I would think is normal. PM me if interested. Gary

    Boomer, You must not have looked at all 1670 pictures Sleeperhawks Mechanic posted then. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50129 Gary http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/venturerider/Sleeperhawks%20Mechanic%20MD%202010/IMG_8651.jpg

    I just pulled the drain bolt out of a spare water pump housing and the lip on the washer faced towards the bolt head. Gary

    Side stand switch is absolutely, positively, NOT the problem with these symptoms. Gary

    Here is another picture I found with the coils still in & all wiring still in. This is on an 83, so there is an odd looking throttle cable connector in there. Yup, there are coils in there. Let me know how that plan of not pulling fairings works out for you boys. Gary

    Don't know if this will help you at all. In the picture the coils have been removed already, but you can see the mounting points for them on the left side of picture, above the YICS chamber (only on 83-85's) Gary

    There are three wires in the kickstand switch. When stand is up, all three are connected. Gary

    Same place it is on a 1st gen., below the seat. Lower center of gravity. This is a thing of beauty, beauty being in the eyes of the beholder. Gary

    Look at this post from earlier today. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=50354 Yes, you can use the 86 TCI in an 83 engine, for proper hookup you should get a vacuum hose that goes from sensor to intake boot. 83 & 88 coils are the same part numbers, didn't check them all. They are the same. Same vacuum sensor. Different hook up point for vacuum. 83's are above throttle plates, 84-93's are below. TCI's are different. See above post. Your wiring harness will plug into the 83 thru 89 TCI with no modifications, same with coils. You should think about rejetting 1200cc carbs. 1300's have stock 125 mains, and could stand a little higher. 1200's had 117.5 mains. Gary

    4 band clamps holding it to top of carbs?? Gary

    You can use an 84-89 box on an 83. You can not use an 90-93 unit. However, due to the 84-89 bikes not having the carbs drilled for the vacuum line, you can not use an 83 TCI on 84-89 bikes without drilling for the vacuum port. To use the 84-89 TCI on an 83 bike you need to block the port on the carb bank where the vacuum line hooks to. Then the line will be reattached below the carbs to the rubber intake manifold. On the 84-89's there is a plastic restrictor to help smooth out the pulsing in the vacuum. It is not a valve, just a plastic tube with a small hole inside. It also serves to connect the two different size vacuum lines together. I am currently running an 86 TCI on my bike, but also have the original 83 TCI that I have also ran on it. It runs just as well with either unit. Gary

    My bike is just fine, one of the oldest on here,but one of the quickest. Have 2300 miles since the rebuild this winter. I am actually running out of stuff to do on it. Kicked a Royal Star's ass yesterday with it. Also was faster than a 100th anniversary Dyna with a stage 4 kit in it., 1550 cc. This bike used to whoop me like a red headed step child last couple of years. Gary

    Skydoc 17 has them listed in the classified section. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2905&title=second-genheavy-duty-clutch-spring26amp-3b-full-disc-upgrade-kit-21&cat=7 Gary

    James, I looked at the exhausts I could find on Pinwall. Is it this one ? 130373180970 ebay # If it is, it looks like the collector is not worth getting. Look at the last picture in the listing. Pinwall puts extra pictures in towards bottom. I can go to Pinwall for you if you find something worth getting. I would have liked to had mufflers from this set. Gary

    Why don't we plan on September 24-25th ?? Maybe it won't be as hot this time. If Jonas can't get anymore Black Death, I can get some Kentucky White Lightning. Gary

    From the VIN # it will have the 2nd gear issue. Nice looking though. Gary

    James, The blood clots in your legs are nothing to mess with. I had one last April that broke loose from my right leg and lodge between my heart & lungs. I had two doctors tell me that they rarely see people still alive after that. Take your time and rest up. I have a good set of rotor bolts that you can have. I am hoping he meant the bolts were $15 a wheel. They are $3.27 apiece new online. Need 6 each wheel. Skydoc 17 may be able to help out with the rebuild kits for the calipers. Front & rear brake master kits are right at $50 each online. Gary

    BoomerCPO would be the one to ask about women. He has a knack with them. And Pygmies. I think he is looking for one now to sew his pants up. Gary

    You could give her a tin cup and a piece of metal she could bang it against when she wanted you. It would make you feel like you were back at your old job !! Gary

    Does anyone have a working or non working CLASS controller head that they would part with cheap to help a member out. I have been working with Curtis, trying to get his CLASS system working to no avail. He bought a unit from Shawn Hess that was not working and I tried it in my bike and it didn't work there either. Bongobobby brought a unit to MD that also was not working. Both units have the upper circuit board malfunctioning, not the lower one that is covered in the tech section. I determined this by swapping boards out with my working unit. Could not see anything obvious with either one. Gary
