I'm going to a 24.1" diameter, should still be plenty of clearance, only brings the tire 1/2 inch closer...

Well Jay, maybe you can find someone else in our ever growing group to partner up with! I'm looking on ebay for wheels and found that some dealers offer packages of 4 that ends up a lot cheaper per wheel than for the individual price!! I would buy a complete package from Tire Rack but their website does not allow for search by rim parameters, only by vehicle type, and I've found that a whole bunch of vehicles use 4 x 100 mm bolt pattern with 35 - 40 mm offset...

Storm shelter or Doomsday shelter??

Yes, I've always been a believer in putting on the biggest oil filter you can fit...

more positive ride, the same reason you put larger rims on a car. Decreased sidewall height leads to less flex. Crisper handling but at the cost of the "mushy" feel. Also, I'm going to 1" larger diameter to increase gas mileage, but at the cost of off the line torque. Poor man's rear differential gear ratio swap...

I was thinking that Jeff!! Steamer, the Hannigans have 4 bolt, the hubs are from mid '80s Honda CRX. It's the Triwing that uses Ford hubs...

I'll post links from ebay later. They are 16 x 7 40mm offset 4 x 100mm bolt pattern. There are a few to choose from various prices starting at $400 for four if we can decide on a style we agree on!

I'm thinking of switching over to 16" chrome wheels this summer and I can get a great deal on a set of 4 but I only need 2! Anybody want to go halvsies??

Good answer!!! Always ask WHY 5 times...

You just put schraeder connectors on the air line for the front shocks, and for the rear shock...

Soooo, ahhh, when you triking it???

OK then add a set of extenders to my order!

Why do we have 1125 posts on this meaningless thread?? WHY???

Why does Rocket ride his 1st gen???

...or luck out and find a complete lockset with key on fleabay, they do sometimes show up!

If you can't drink any more of it, then you've had enough!!

I don't...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dan!!!!!

Why NOT?!!?

You posted while I was typing. Once again, the relay only clicks twice, once with key on, and again when spark is detected. After that it never clicks again until you turn the key off and then back on. If you are hearing the relay click, then either you have an intermittent somewhere or the relay is defective...

You are correct in your understanding of the relay operation. That being said, what Jeff said! The relay does not click, the fuel pump clicks. The contacts on the fuel pump are known to go bad, and unless your fuel filter is in good shape it can shut off fuel delivery to the carbs. Also, remove your petcock and screen and inspect them. If the screen gets clogged it will shut down the supply of gas to the fuel pump and that will make the fuel pump click rapidly the same as it does when you run out of gas...

I just put an analog clock on the handlebars and also wear a wrist watch. The button holding thing is a pain in the a$$...

The oil wire, if it is what I think you are talking about is in the center of the stator and it's purpose is to sling oil on the stator to keep it cool. It was a modification by the factory to correct a design flaw on the earlier MK1 that caused the stator to overheat and fail. Every once in a while those kits still appear on ebay! When you replace your starter motor buy one from a 2nd generation Venture. They have 4 brushes as opposed to 2 and make a world of difference when starting when the engine is hot! It should run you around $50 - $75 on ebay. Getting back to the starter also upgrade your battery wires to thicker cables to improve hot starting conditions and switch to an AGM battery like the DEKA or the Odessey...

Did you tell him several other people are looking for chrome as well??

Going through Canada would have been faster...
