I can only guess at how this process would work but sounds to me you would be cheaper off searching for used parts. Besides using the wife's oven is risky they always find out. Trust me I know

I swear by plastifix also known as plastex rebuilt my bike with it 13 years ago and still holding up. Here one of the pieces I rebuilt including adding new tabs. I used white plastifix to build the tabs only because I had it and was running short on black. I embedded a couple layers of fiberglass drywall tape into the back side to add strength. The other beauty is yo do not need spot putty it sands out beautifully and you can keep adding and sanding until you have a perfect paint ready surface.

Condolences to you and your family.

You need to remove/lift off the complete console then flip it over. you will then see the four nuts you need to remove to lift out the speaker and grill together then simply separate the grill and speaker

Actually its the parallel universe. It causes other things to disappear as well, like the wrench, screwdriver or hammer etc. that you just had in your hand then magically reappear later.

Plus if it didn't leak to badly before it sure will after

Good thoughts and prayers for your Mom.

That sounds better than the way the guy in the video did it. I too thought it odd that he A) He did not protect the hole in the ear bud and B) pushed the ear bud in after putting the putty in which to me would push the putty further into the ear canal.

Any headsets I have seen used by truck drivers that come into our shop only cover one ear. I have not seen any used for CB radio yet as the use of CB's in Ontario by any commercial driver is still legal and does not fall within the scope of distracted driving as yet. Hope fully it never will as I see a CB as a safety device in both the ability to warn drivers of upcoming road conditions to simple having a conversation with other truckers which has proven to do more to aid drivers in staying awake on long lonely hauls than it does in distracting them from driving. I know I am going off topic hear for a moment but I also find it ironic that a CB is could be considered distracting hence only commercial drivers are allowed to use them while much of the touch displays in modern cars are probably 100x's more distracting. On the other hand it does free up the CB airway a bit more for those that benefit most. Back to the ear buds with regards to the mold your own products I have to wonder what the odds are of someone pushing the mold material to far in and causing er damage though I gues it cannot be any worse than foam ear plugs. Just wondering.

I use volvo spline grease 1161247 also sold under part number 1161246, I believe the difference is one is a grease gun size tube and the second is just a small tube. This stuff we use on clutch and drive splines of Volvo class 8 trucks and heavy equipment. It is a heavy paste grease and I find it works super on the our rear drive splines and drive pins. Also used by Mack trucks now that they are owned by Volvo. I also believe Volvo Penta uses it as well for marine use on the drive components.

I have to agree. The thing with these bikes is that they run so well that it is sometimes hard to notice the difference between running on 3 cyl's vs 4 cyl's often only noticeable when you roll on the throttle. Even if your shifting early you should feel some pull even if the engine is lugging but if it is really sluggish then your likely running on 3 cyl's. Check your exhaust temps close to the heads and look for a cold pipe or one cooler than the rest. If your lucky it may just be a bad spark plug, if not then you will need to look deeper. Some possible issues could range from faulty spark plug, faulty ignition system, bad carb or carb diaphragm or low compression which in turn could be caused by one reason or another.

I am open to correction but it is my understanding that wearing earbuds while operating any type of motor vehicle is NOT legal as per most highway traffic acts.

Its been so silent from your end I was beginning to get a bit concerned. Soooo glad to hear from you Earl @skydoc_17 and very happy for you since based on what you say you are on a good road to recovery. Now if we can just get rid of this covid issue so we can all get together again for some good old fashioned camaraderie.

So with the covid restrictions in place I have been doing my spring cleaning early. I came across my collection of snow shoes. the first ones are a small pair of antique emergency snow shoes given to me by a friend who used to be a bush pilot. The second pair is a set of full size snow shoes given to me by a friend who used to do some winter trapping in the north country. Now the last pair I am not quite convinced are snow shoe but according to @Marcarlwho gave them to me insists they are dutch snow shoes. Notice the color indicators on the tail ends this was apparently done so Marcarl knew which was for the left foot and which was for the right. I have actually seen something like this before but never in pairs, Usually as a single item used by mother as a disciplinary aid. But Marcarl insists they are Dutch snow shoes so who am I to argue

Glad you got her done. Now enjoy!

in a pinch the following key blanks will work but need to be cut on a manual key copy machine. Some of these blanks are meant for a Datsun/Nisan and are a bit longer but still work and if you get the right guy "in my case myself" you can shorten the blank to the right length as you cut it. Cut pattern A: Cole DA24, ILCO x114, Alba A61NCP, SILICA DAT6RP Cut pattern B: ILCO 118, ILCO YH49, SILICA YH29, SILICA YH29P These are just a few as I compiled quite a cross reference list and I will add to it later.

And @Marcarlbeing Dutch would say, just keep leaning the bike until the oil reaches the full mark and you can save money by not needing to add any oil

I think because of covid and travel restrictions she is trying her best keep up some video content. For the most part I do enjoy the majority of them. I like how she is able to instill bits of history, trivia and interesting facts in a lot of her videos. She obviously a very intelligent person.

Done the same thing on a number of occasions including touching up the armature with some emery cloth. Makes a big difference. However nothing beats switching to a 4 brush starter.

Nice thing about older bikes. if sure park don't work you need only to check the leg length to seat height ratio.

Now you went and done it. ya hurt my feelings and you supposed to be the sensitive one

saw that one too. pretty intriguing.
