    We'll keep y'all in our thoughts in the hopes that Gavin decides that he really doesn't need to come out yet. Just think of it as if he's as stubborn as you, he'll be full term ....it will all work out brother

    Not that we went anywhere ....but were back home. Didn't talk about the trip openly as I know folks would be wanting to see us. Went north to marry my Dad off, and it was a great wedding. Thank you to all the folks that we were able to see for their hospitality. It was one hell of a trip, 3700 miles in total. Now back to work tomorrow so I can pay for it all

    The 130 will help you out on slow speed handling. I have run one, and some will argue the point that I am about to make. I felt that on the slab at speed I got blown around more than with a 150 on the front. It wasn't terrible, but I noticed it. Many have run the 130 and liked the results, worst case is you dont like it and your only out a few hundred dollars.

    I plan on making one eventually, if that could be picked up for that price it would be a decent deal. Cabreco....you are so bad!

    Reguardless if it's true or not, the message that the pic represents is a very powerful and sobering one....

    Id pull that in a minute! How much did they want for it?

    When you install progessives not all the original stuff goes back in. Also the level of fork oil is crutial, I have always had good luck with cutting the pvc spacers that go on top at 3/4" and when you fill the tubes with oil (I use 10wt) they need to be right at 5" from the top of the tube with the tubes collapsed and the springs out. If you could get some pics of how everything came back out that would help a lot....we'll get you squared away

    Hazen, I have a 2nd gen parts bike, take a pic of exactly what you need and I can get the one from the parts bike. Better yet just call me, my cell # is in my profile.

    It was great seeing you 2 again, thank you for your hospitality and were looking forward to hearing of your new adventures on that trike...she's a beauty just like your wife

    What a terrible shame to hear, I too didn't know Mark well, but chatted with him from time to time here on the site. May his family find the peace they need to carry on without him. God bless you Mark, we will miss you here and look forward to riding with you one day.

    We were less than 400 miles from the eye and didn't see a drop of rain from Issac. We could use some here, but I know the path it took North that they needed rain worse than we in the Houston area do.

    Thats what I'm talking about, the black lower plastic piece that the bolts hide behind. I just cut notches in them with a razor knife so the bolts would be able to go strait in. I wish you were closer, I'd come over and we could knock this out.

    The clutch cover is pretty cut and dry, to my knowledge there isn't a copper crush washer on it. Oil is a funny thing, I have had it leak on the left side of the bike and the leak come from the right. I would clean it well underneath and ride it a bit to pinpoint it.

    As long as you keep the bearings greased well, 8" wheels will be just fine. Personally I have had both (8" and 12") and have had no issues with either one. For the price, and as mentioned with the 20% coupons it's hard to beat the H/F trailer. I have assembled several and know several riders that use them. Unless your really wanting to be totally personal with making a trailer, the H/F is an excellent value for someone on a budget.

    If you pull the front fairing off, you can notch the plastic where the bolts sit behind. I did that with Ray's bike and then I had room to get bolts back in there. Are you using the passing light block that lowers passing lights down and fwd, or just have the stock turn signals on yours?

    We WILL make it back up to PIP one of these days!

    Thanks a lot fellas! now that y'all started commenting on this thread there is a severe shortage of blinker fluid to be had. I have to wait a MONTH for anyone to get some in...a lot of help you are!

    It appears that he's within $500 of the nada book value. It all depends on what you want, I have heard folks that have them, like them...

    Thats too funny

    Chris, I know of your problem there, I had the same thing happen to me on Oldschools '03. The holes were stripped and no real good way to fix them. Helicoils will work, but unfortunately the skill level of the dealer would make me not want to have them do this. I ended up drilling the holes out and installed bolts and nuts on them. I know it's not the optimum fix, but I wouldn't be letting that dealer touch my bike again
