    Sonny, my big "Barn Door" Clearview screen robs me of about 3 - 3 mpg highway speed. I generally get in the mid 30's for MPG whatever that is in kilometers/liter...

    I'd love to, Tom, but that's the date of the next M&E and I'm sponsering it...

    Ben, I should have the vent for the left side, but not sure about the chrome intake. I do have one odd one but not sure what side it's for. If you show up for the M&E May 2 I'll bring it/them then, or to Carl's for his Spring Fling...

    OK everything is now spoken for except the fairing frame has not been confirmed... Stay tuned for part 4 soon!

    Well, the faster you go, the shorter the distance, so I guess that explains it...

    Wow!!!!!

    Yah! Wish we could have made that one but Goldie is still half assembled. Oh, well, it will be back better and prettier than ever... PS We want PICTURES!!

    Yes, Goose, but he said it was working fine until recently. It more so sounds like he is loosing one channel from the cable and what is happening is when he pulls it out to a certain point the tip is making contact with both the left and right channels. There is a good chance that the MX radio lost a channel or the cable went bad. Thanks for making me think about his problem more!! I assume you are using the headphone output to feed the audio into the system. If so, plug a set of headphones into the radio and see if both channels are working. Here's how the cables work. On the jack you will see 3 areas, the tip, a short insulated area, a short metal area, another insulated area, and the longer metal area, as looking from the side. The long metal area is ground, common to both channels. The other 2 metal areas are the left and right "hot" audios. If you lost audio from the radio from the channel that the center metal area carries, when you slowly pull the jack out the tip will find a location where it contacts both audio contacts on the Y connector giving you audio on both channels of the regular motorcycle audio system. Soooo, I'm now thinking either the MX radio lost a chanel, or the cable from the MX to the Y has gone bad... PS what exactly is an MX radio??

    OK front fairing frame may be spoken for, but not yet confirmed... Also have a couple of extra front fenders up for grabs. I'm starting to clean house on parts I've accumulated over the last 3 years...

    Pretty much start thinking about it when it's down to the wear bars! You can also tell by how the bike handles as when the rear is pretty worn out they are no longer domed but more flat like a car tire. The back end seems to fight you just a bit on the twisties...

    Wish we could have made it but it's a little too early in the season for us. We will be in the area for the week of the 4th so if you plan a M&E for the last weekend in June we can make that one! WE WANT PICTURES!!!!!

    OK went into the shed (Yes I can finally get in there) and dug out ANOTHER complete set of MK1 calipers that I bought to rebuild but never did. These DEFINATELY need rebuilding but are there for the asking. Also have a working front Master Cylander for a MK1 now available as well...
  17. bongobobny
    They're yours, pal!!! Answered your PM...

    Those Y adapters are pretty inexpensive, and their reliability pretty much matches the price. You can buy them in a lot of other places besides Radio Crap like Wally World, Tar Jet, Best Lie, etc and should be only a couple of bucks. The problem may also mot be the adapter but rather the cable. I'm using a cassette adapter with my GPS, XM, and IPOD thru it using Y adapters...

    We'll be praying for you, Don!! Yah, read only for non members to let them decide if they want to join in. Maybe a little longer trial period, like 30 days. Perhaps a premium membership option with a private forum area for them, but not sure if I like or dislike that idea.

    Ya mean we did something good?? Don't let it get out too much, some of these guys might get swelled heads... Yes, this isn't a web site, it is family!! Glad to have you as a member!

    I now have a complete front fork assembly with upper and lower triple trees for a MK1 ist gen, in need of a rebuild. Shocks leak like a seive but it is low mileage parts. Only 15K on bike. Hydraulic anti dive units included. You pay shipping costs or pick up. Also have complete set of MK1 calipers available in working condition but probably should be rebuilt seeing they are 25 years old... Last, a MK1 front fairing frame in very good condition, virtually rust free. If you need any of these things, just PM or call me. These items are free for the asking. I need them out of my garage...

    Hey, I guessed right!!! You have no idea just how happy I am for the both of you!! Congratulations and best wishes for many many years of happiness together!
  23. bongobobny
    Well, Jack, I'm interested in another one for the '85 project bike...

    Still working on a place, Carl! The big problem is that May 2nd is a big Communion weekend and lots of places are booked. Hey, could it be that everyone is finally going to stop sending Big Tom underwear???
