  1. Looking for info regarding presetting the spring on a progressive rear shock for two up riding. Would like to get it close before installing it on the bike.
  2. Looking for someone with a Honda CA95 to ask some questions. Let me know.
  3. I have a 3 Dot Case Canoe that I purchased in 1977 brand new. I still carry this knife everyday. 40 years.
  4. I put spacers between the mirror bracket and the fairing. When you tighten the mirror down it does not pull on the plastic fairing. The boot covers it up.
  5. Those V65 Sabres are a breed of their own. I still have my 84 that I purchased in 1985. Just put all stainless lines on it and made a new fork brace for it.
  6. What common motel is everybody staying at for MD ??????????
  7. Looking for a nice front brake lever for my 87. If any one has one they want to part with let me know. Mike
  8. There is a 87 standard on cincinnati craigslist right now with 18,000 miles on it located in Bethel, Ohio. Looks nice according to the pics. $1,800.00.
  9. Just fixxed one just like it. The lobe was broke off. Those engines have a compression release built into the cam in order to lower compression to make it easier to start. Then centrifical force takes it out of play when it starts. They dont make them like they used to.
  10. Talked to Mark today and ordered a collector for my 87 Standard. He had it in stock and I should receive it this week. I did confirm with them that they are 100 percent stainless including the welds.
  11. Sending the newbie to heat treat with a load of lead babbits to get heat treated.
  12. I did check the progressive last night. It is actually 11 1/2 inches eye to eye. So they are the same. Was just wanting to make sure. Thanks.
  13. Looking for the eye to eye centerline length for the rear shock on an 87 standard. My shock has the internal spring with air. Just bought a progressive and wanting to compare lengths. Going to change it this winter. Mike
  14. Jeff, You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Best of luck and a speedy recovery. Mike and Mary Ann
  15. Anyone out there have a marks collector to get rid of.
  16. Still had rooms left last week. The rear balcony for bike parking, restaurant and lounge is still open. We made our reservation there early in the year. Just thought maybe someone else would be staying there.
  17. Just was wondering if anyone is staying at the Oberlin Inn for MD this year.
  18. Mary Ann and myself will be there Thursday afternoon. We are staying at the Oberlin Inn as of now. When I made reservations they told me that the rear balcony will still be available for the bikes, even though construction. Are we going to try to get a group rate there like previous years. Mike
  19. Trying to figure out what aftermarket r&r to install on my stock 87 standard. I am assuming it will be the Shindengen FH020aa. Thanks. Mike.
  20. Mary Ann and myself are booked at the Comfort Inn. Looking foward to a great time.
  21. I have mechanical cable operated surge brakes on mine and really like the setup. The problem I see with electric brakes is what happens when the solinoid falls and holds the brakes on at 65 mph. I could see a disaster here. Just my two cents.
  22. Gary, So sorry to here about your loss. Mary Ann and I send our deepest sympathy and prayers for you and your family.
