    Yes, I don't want to leave the better half waiting at the airport We'll it hasn't taken any more flips into the ditch. The air shocks have finally gave up and I have try to lower trailer tire pressure as it is starting to act up a bit. I am not in any place long enough to order and swap out the shocks. I should have bought the ones you had in storage. And by the way, thanks for everything. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. See you in NY. Tom

Still lots of fun! Tom

    So... I'm in a KOA in kopeke NY. It's karaoke night. Hmm. I left Winnipeg last Monday and have had my share of issues and have gained a large respect for the power of this site. Our members are awesome! Thank you Jay and Craig and families! I am on my way to Nova Scotia in 2 days to meet my better half. We are going to ride through the Canadian Maritimes and then to the international Maybe the tail of the dragon after. Depending on the weather. I left Craig this morning, became hypnotized by a winding road! And this is where it dropped me off Hey, I come from the land of right angles. It happens. I now have to push to Halifax. Now it's an Eagles duet at karaoke. Hmmm. That's it for now, I can't keep arguing with my playbook. It's winning.... Tom

    My version, I am having problem with my fairing plastic. Mostly my fault. Craig offers his garage space and tools. He spends most of Saturday and Sundays morning with me and “we“ were able to fair the problem... All far so good. He and his family welcome me awesome!! Thank you Craig And family. Your hospitality and welcome mean a ton to me! Which brings me to ragtop69gs. He found out that I was traveling through his area and did the same thing! Jay and family, wow, you have to understand how much I appreciate the welcome and hospitality! Now is someone can tell me how to stop my playbook from trying to correct my spelling mistakes into something completely different... Ahhhhh! Please read what you think I am saying. Craig, good idea I am going to try to start a post on my progress. Tom:canada:

    Hi Craig and I fixed the problem... We think. Check out the pictures. We sunk screen on the plastic with abs welding rods. It seems to work. We made braces and everything seems solid now

    Thanks Brian but this is for my 2000 venture.

    Actually it's not the tab replacement I am concerned with. I have to repair the actual plastic in the outer fairing

    Here is a lot picture of the problem if it correctly uploads. Tom

    Thanks but is sinking aluminum screen and plastic welding the right way to go?
  13. tomephil
    Will do, thanks
  14. tomephil
    That would be great. I do want to see if sinking aluminum. In the plastic is the best answer.

    High Don, As far as I know the lock tight didn't touch the plastic. I put a drop on the threads to keep the bolt from loosening up. I now have to figure out a road fix.

    Hi, I'm on the, Ong way to the international and now have a problem ihave to deal with in regards to my front fairing windshield holes cracking. A few were cracked when I left but they seemed ok. I received a clearview windshield just before I left. I needed to retighen a few bolts 2 days ago and iused blue lock tight but the windshield started making noise again today. Whdni check ked I found other middle left inside hole badly spidered. I am on the road in Towanda Pennsylvania so I don't have a workshop to deal with this. As of now my plan is to find some aluminum screen material and a solderinggun,during iron and see if I can melt some sport into. Where the plastic is badly spidered. Does anyone have any better (workable) ideas?

    Yes,you guys are a friendly bunch. We found that out at the international a few years ago. I am not planning on heading to your area before the rally but if I do, I'll let you know. I think I'm going to do the opposite of storm chasers, I'm going to be a clear sky chaser this trip!! Tom
