This one mounted to the frame just below the seat in the rear and at the middle to upper front as shown below. It also doesn't look home made. Everything is nicely bent and welded well and fits together. If it is custom made, they did a nice job. It just looks like possible a very early original. It is off of an 83.

You be a funny boy....

Thanks for the update. It was pretty awesome to see them here in Arizona when they came through. -
Can anybody tell me if a hitch taken off of a MKI fit onto an MKII ?
-
I have to ship a 1st Gen MK1 hitch to a member. Anybody know the best way to do this ? wrap it up ? box it ? wire a tag to it and ship it as is ? It is such a weird shape. Just wondering if anybody has done this before ?

Okay... here's my testimonial... I do not have one of Condors... in fact I didn't know I had one and was considering ordering one of his since I know the differnce a good upgraded front fork brace can make. I put one on my KLR650. Anyway.... I went over to my father's today, which is where my 2 parts bikes are living. As I was taking off some parts, I glanced over to the other bike and realized that it had an upgraded brace on it. Removed it and brought it home. 5 minutes later it was on my 89. Just got back from a short ride... WOW..what a difference !!! I can't wait to ride it on some twisties.

Check the bottom of your dishwasher. Make sure that mold hasn't built up in the bottom around the drain inside. Put in a 70/30 water- bleach mixture in the bottom of the dishwasher and let it set. then run it. 2nd thought... has any of your neighbors bought a 2nd Gen perhaps ? Hey....just a thought... Just kidding...

It's a partnership "Probably a lot better chance he was just resting so he could push it the rest of the way home." That's actually pretty funny.....

Obviously he was sitting there in the parking lot waiting for the 2nd Gens to catch up...

Rumor has it that you didn't leave a big enough tip.... Just a rumor I started seconds ago.....

Hope this helps: Illustration #3 shows it all Also, you can get a set of 2 BIG needle nose pliers, one has a slight curve for I believe I paid under $10.00 for them. They have been worth it just on the airbox work. But I have used them on other stuff too.

What part is it ? I don't have a parts list. -
Good tip. I had that happen on another bike and it dripped all the way down the side to the swing arm. Made a mess on paint and stuff.

I'll let other talk about the TCI. You might check your plugs as Sea Foam can foul them out. Also, check the fuel filter and when you pull the plugs check your Ohms from the plug cap to to the accessory power screw in the fuse box. Should be 24 Ohms if I remember. -
Leave it to a Winger to ruin the fun with the facts...

We had a restaurant/night club here called the Bum Steer. Kinda a college hangout. It was filled with "things" including a full size Cessna hanging from the ceiling. Anyways, their bathrooms had signs on the doors that said: MEN --> and So the Men's Bathroom had the The key was to get a table by the bathrooms just to watch the show of the "1st timers" hitten' the head. Always good for a laugh....especially if you brought the "1st timers"

It's those pesky CrimeStopper billboards with the $50,000 reward that keeps getting in the way. You would think I guy could get a little peace and quiet for a while...

So... after a crappy day of "stuff" Ironhorse Ike and his son-in-law show up at my house late afternoon. They want to ride up the the top of the Catalina Mountains and back...about an 80 mile round trip to around 11,000 foot elevation. Nice and cool for around here. I'm busy and ticked off at some idiot at a Sprint store 2250 miles away..( long story) and too "busy" to go. The wife decides I need to go and basically kicks my butt out the door with them. Fast forward... we are at the top of the mountain getting a drink when a car drives up behind our bikes. The driver and Ike start to talk and the next thing I hear the driver ask is.. One of you guys KIC ? I'm thinking " dang.. that America's Most Wanted " thing works... Of course Ike immediate points to me in his fastest "Not me It's him" manner. Turns out it was DarkLeftArm and his obviously better half. It was nice to meet another Venture rider ( even if he does ride a 2nd Gen ) I'm sure we will be getting together for more rides soon.
