    If it is the same as the '86, its underneath the radio/cassette player area in the left side of the faring. Dave

    The rear brake is linked to the front left. Do the rear brake, then the front and then (and this I didn't know about the first time I tried) bleed the valve that is up by the steering head. It's right in front of the false tank cover, a little to the right side. I couldn't get good brakes until the upper bleeder was done. Dave

    First thing that comes to mind is a stuck float in one of the carbs. Could be as simple as the screw that closes the drain hoses you're seeing is not closed all of the way. I would check the drain screws, tap on the carbs with the handle of a screwdriver to break lose the float. Then add a good dose of Seafoam to the tank and ride. Dave

    I haven't looked at my Piggybacker yet but I've had one of the keys come apart on mine. The lock itself appears to be like the locks used on desk drawers and should be available at most hardware stores. Dave

    Scooter- Cody was a rally set up for 2009 for the members of the western part of the states and Canada. If was a great success and enjoyable time. There has been talk about holding a western rally in Durango, CO or maybe the Kootenays in Canada. Nothing has been decided and the dates are still a question and may depend on the location that was chosen. Keep an eye on the website and hopefully your schedule will allow you to get there. Dave

    I agree with the wheel chock. You need to prevent the bike from sliding out. Tie Downs - make sure you have racheting type not just the self locking. Point of tieing down - there are other threads on the side about this but basically, tie down to solid points on the bike. I recommend tie to the handlebars or triple tree (anything above the compression of the front end). If it bounces, your straps could possibly come off and if you tighten them down to remove the bounce, you could damage your seals or forks. I connected mine to the front forks to the lower section just above the fork brace. Dave

    Write them back and tell them that you will be out of town and that the date is not good for you, would they postpone it for a couple of years. Dave

    Have we heard from StuD or Starvin on their trip home? Are they in Butte waiting for Rocket and a new stator? LOL How about sgripp? Maybe they couldn't get home without a US passport. Dave

    None of the rides are that set in stone yet. Tuesday is the day I would like to ride Beartooth, but that's just me thinking out loud. Is there a number we can reach you on to link up with you in Red Lodge? Dave
