  1. Not since I converted to a trike...
  2. Yes they will...
  3. Lookin' pretty spiffy!!
  4. We're looking at from our window, sure is pretty!!! He better post pictures...
  5. Yup, single filament vs dual filament. The fronts are 1157A's but because the lense is also amber 1157's can be used...
  6. Yah! The big thing to remember is that oil, once it is used, ages, so you should change it every 6 months, orm if you are up north, every season...
  7. It's actually quite simple. Where the vacuum is sampled is 180 degrees out of phase with where the vacuum is sampled for all other years. Therefore the vacuum advance is going to be backwards. As long as you are at idle or at a specific RPM and load the module will work, but as soon as you accelerate the advance will actually be retarding making it run like crap! Also, there is a slight difference in the response curve for the '84/'85 and the '86 up due to the different motors but the difference is insufficient to really be noticed...
  8. That's the Hannigan conversion we all like! Looks great! I don't have any input but would love to hear how it works out. In a couple of years I will need to repaint mine..
  9. Yup! Been to that Root Beer stand and it is delicious! Unfortunately being a diabetic I could only have a small glass of it. The food was good too! Good luck and speedy recovery!!
  10. But, it IS a good price! They go for much more on Fleabay...
  11. Ya know, I'll betcha it is! If so it was well maintained.
  12. Must have been a Harley, parts fell off...
  13. Glad it worked out OK! Great video!
  14. NY requires them but no requirements on insurance for non commercial use.
  15. I feel for you Lewis!! Don't be discouraged, better days are coming!
  16. Don't forget left handed and right handed monkey wrenches...
  17. The main advantage is comfort. You can rest your feet and move them around at will. They make for a more relaxing ride, especially long distances...
  18. Welcome aboard!! One of the very few weak points of the RSV is the low speed handling. The bike tends to be a tad top heavy but once you get used to it everything should be OK. It is an absolutely wonderful bike to ride especially for long distances! Enjoy! These bikes are pretty much bullet proof and last a very long time with normal maintenance...
  19. Either Clearview or F4 but I lean towards the F4, just built better. Definately get the vent whichever you choose...
  20. OK Swifty, here's another problem. You had a high output stator in there, didn't you?!!? High output stators are designed for more amps output and therefore develop more heat because of it. The enemy of longevity is heat. Therefore the shortcoming of high output stators is they just don't last as long! Secondary you should update your antique R/R with a new high Tech one. Yes, there is a possibility that you now may also have a defective R/R depending on what really went on at the time of failure...
  21. It snowed here last night, does that help???
  22. ...every Dairy Queen in North America. So we packed the trailer with...
  23. Uhhh, yes it does! Looks like the entire segment got shorted out. Now for the technical info. The stator is configured in a "Y" arrangement. That means there are 3 windings or segments that all have one end tied together. From what I see in the picture it looks like it drew a lot of current and melted the varnish on the wire... Edit - Two of the areas on the other segment look like the varnish was heat scortched but not fried like the others.
  24. We go walking down the street hand in hand side by each... Hey Mama, throw the baby down the stairs a bottle... It's deja vu all over again...
