    What is also sad is that you rarely hear of these losses and sacrifices any more. Brian and Ashley were only married a year and a half. My daughter was just talking to Ashley on Thursday and she was telling her that when her enlistment was up at the end of their deployment she was not going to re-enlist and wanted to start a family. He was there for my daughter on their last tour when she hit her IED. Now they took him. He and his wife were just on mid-tour leave together and bought this "project truck" on May 6th to restore when they returned from Afghanistan. So many dreams shattered. Rest in peace Brian. You will be missed.

    California PGR Riders: A personal friend and Hero.. If you are a Patriot Guard Rider in the Lucerne Valley California area please know that you will most likely have an upcoming Mission for a Sgt Brian Walker, U.S Army MP, Airborne. Brian gave his ultimate sacrifice today for his country. He served with my daughter and her friend Ashley during her last deployment. It was after that deployment that they married and was on his second deployment with his wife Ashley and her sister, all Airborne. It seems it was a family deployment. Sgt. Brian Walker was a great guy, husband and friend to anybody who knew him. They just returned from mid-deployment leave and he was on a mission when his vehicle hit an IED. Sgt Walker; you served our country proudly. You will be missed. RIP my friend. We will keep you and your beautiful Hero wife and family in our prayers.

    I agree...it would be a good idea if he took a parts list to the mechanic and had him "ID" the exact bushing he is talking about.

    My 89 forks had a "bushing type" end cap that didn't show up on the first parts diagram I had. Look on the right side of the diagram below and see if they are talking about part # 30.62 and I posted a picture of the "cap". Just a thought.

    Public photos?

    KIC replied to bilko1's topic in Watering Hole

    I would voice your concern with the HR Dept. Then if that doesn't work, a black magic marker will draw a nice mustache and beard over the picture...

    I looked at both my 87 and 89 and neither one has any threads available to use if the nut is on the bolt. So..... do you use a longer bolt or a thinner nut ? Inquiring minds want to know...
  15. KIC
    So...getting back on track.... are these in all bikes or are they an aftermarket type accessory ? Do they actually add anything to the riding comfort of the bike ?

    These are common lights. I think this link will direct you to the lights/lens: http://www.aftermarketcyclepartsnation.com/Drag-Specialties-RECTANGULAR-TWIN-MARKER-LIGHTS-detail.htm?productId=7724779&catalogId=&searchProducts=2040-0299

    It's an $189.00 option alongside the trailer hitch option and the 12-volt cigarette lighter.
  18. KIC
    Do these replace the nut on the end of the bolt ?

    The Flying Hovercraft. This is the hovercraft that glides over land and water yet also soars in the air up to 70 mph with the aid of integrated wings. A 130-hp twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline engine -- turbocharged and fuel-injected -- drives its 60" wood/carbon composite thrust propeller while a 1,100-rpm 34" lift fan inflates its durable vinyl-coated nylon skirt for hovering above the ground. Operating in fresh- or saltwater and up to 30% inclines over sand, mud, grass, swamp, desert, ice, and snow, its wings and horizontal elevator enable pilots to simply hop over water- or land-based obstacles up to 20'-high unsurmountable to a typical hovercraft. A joystick controls three vertical rudders and the elevator, a twist friction-lock throttle controls forward speed, and a variable drive system controls the lift fan for hovering. Braking is provided by lowering the lift fan's rpms; comes to rest on Kevlar composite landing skids. Its low center of gravity and composite fiberglass/PVC hull enable it to operate in winds up to 25 mph and waves up to 6' when in flight. Two nine-gallon gasoline tanks provide a 160-mile range. Supports pilot/passenger payloads up to 600 lbs. for flight. Requires registration as a boat. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply. Please call 1-800-227-3528 for details. 19' L x 7'8" W x 6'6". (1,100 lbs.) http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=11933 Price: $190,000

    Well actually by the time I was done unloading them I smelled more like a sweaty grease pile, but thanks anyways .
  21. KIC
    Yea..both bikes only have the left side chrome. Too bad one didn't have a right side one.

    superhypatubanatorrelay Yepper..you sure can...
  23. KIC
    Yepper ..that is what they are. Your link listing was removed but I saw some other ones. Thanks. Have never seen these types before, just the ones that screw onto the end of the bars. Do they really have a benefit ? Do all the bikes come with them or are they an after market type item ? I have not checked either of my bikes to see if they have them. Found these on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/86-XVZ1300-XVZ-1300-13-Venture-handle-bar-end-weights-/220842536501?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item336b3dae35&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/83-XVZ1200-XVZ-1200-Venture-handle-bar-handlebar-weight-/220823712007?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item336a1e7107&vxp=mtr

    If we are counting numbers... i would say I am only 2 behind you and closing fast ..:rotf:I might try to pick up that last carcass if I can find it in the junk yard. I know i need to get a chrome radiator frame off of it for another member..
  25. KIC
    Well....not going to try to make one out of two. Figured it was worth having the parts available for others. Just be nice having the right screws, bolts etc available. All the rotors on the brunette bike seem pretty good. The blonde one's has some grooves. The rear tire on one is really nice, but I need to check the age from the code to see how old it is. Both have coils, but no TCI. Both forks appear to be in good condition, not leaking or anything. I'll take my camera next time and take a bunch of pictures of each one in case anybody sees something they need. Just glad that they aren't just rotting in the junk yard and might keep others on the road.
