    Vin, If we can get hooked up later this summer we could do the brakes in no time. I did front and rear on Joe's (Star 4772) in about 25 minutes, it's really very easy.

    You should be fine with 4 straps, I just like the added insurance of the other 2. If you have any more questions feel free to ask, there are no dumb questions here.

    When I have to trailer my bike I use 6 straps to lock her down. 2 in the front on the triple trees pulling the front tire into the chock, 2 in the back pulling backwards on the rear peg framework, and 2 on either side pulling to the sides. Some will say this is overkill, and it could be, but I had a bike go over 1 time....and it will never happen again. I have no knowledge on your trailer, but it should work out just fine as most are designed to do whatever you ask of them. Here are a few pics of how I trailered my '86 from Kentucky to Michigan.

    A good friend of mine owns a Honda dealership and sells the Reflex and the Ruckus. He rarely works on them as they are super reliable. I wouldn't waste my time with a chinese crap one, get a Honda and forget about it. I have sat on the Reflex and it is a great machine, even for my big ass

    I bought the winning ticket for Clay 18 last year when we presented him his bike when he returned home from the middle east. Told him to pick one and I'd buy it for him.....hows that for luck

    I would check the intake boots on the engine where the carbs actually hook onto, make sure they are tight. Perhaps there is a problem there however slim that may be. The only other thing I can think of off my head is a sticky float in the carb. But if it's not leaking that makes it harder to detect. I would tap on the float bowls with the handle end of a screwdriver and see what comes of it, also try running a can or Seafoam throught it incase there is something stuck in the carbs.

    Hate to say it, but ebay is going to be your only option more than likely....and hang onto your wallet, they dont go cheap!

    Lee, That is a common problem when a tire is run under inflated, but it's not always the case. I'm anal on tire pressures and some tires and the way the tread is designed causes them to cup after a certain amount of mileage. There are other variables like solo riding vs 2 up and loaded vs unloaded, but some times it's just the way that the tires deteriorates over time. Cupping will also give you the feeling like your steering head bearings are loose.

    Thanks Buddy, I kinda figured it would be you or Yammer Dan that were gonna come up with them. Thank you to everyone else for posting up, I really appreciate it and hopefully I'll have the bike back together by this weekend. I am having serious withdrawls since I had to give Muffin his bike

    ....for my '86, the headlight plug and the handlebar nut that holds it to the triple tree. I would gladly pay to get me hands on these

    Rooster, How much more do we need to secure the trailer?

    Thanks Jeremy....carbs are not my specialty, but I have a feeling that I'll be fully schooled with this set

    I'm getting better at fixing these antiques But I believe that I will bench test it like Gearhead mentioned. I just got all my parts in and now I can really kick it in to high gear and hopefully assemble it by the weekend

    I hate to see your bike like that Randy, I wont even go off on a tirate as I would like to. I hope you can hang this puke and his girlfriend High

    Everytime you change the rear tire grease the rear end components, or once a year, you'll never have problems that way.
