aren't those the parts yer s'posta have left over after yer all done? Actually, that looks like the clips that the bottom edge of the chrome trim hooks onto... I think? What are the part names? EDIT: I checked the parts screen and yes, those are the clips and the whole assembly screws into the front lower windshield mounting holes (if I'm recalling correctly) The clips face downwards I believe.

so is this one of those "I'll show you mine if you show me your's" deals? :rotf: OK, ok ... I'll post some pics...jeeez the things a guy has to do to appease folks... But it won't be until this evening when I get home so you'll just have to wait...

The pics were in the ad but I'll post em all once I've finished re-doing the trailer.

Looks like we're "Venturing" to the "dark side"...

The bars are stock 1" and since I bought the bike, I've added 1.5" risers. Stock bar height was just too uncomfortable. Not sure if these bars would fit on your scoot. -
Personally, I can't imagine what it would be like to have whiskers so bad to have to have a major shave every day or even more than once a day. When I did have hair, it was fine and sparse on my face and a quick run with an electric razor every day was all I needed. Now, since I got the alopecia about 10+ years ago, I can go almost a week without shaving (heh sorry guys). I do use the Gilette Mach 3 tho and do agree that the blade cartridge quality is dropping while the price is climbing.

yep, got the whole thing disassembled / stripped and already prepped the cracked areas for fiberglassing. Box is off the frame...checked / measured the frame over half a dozen times .... nothing is bent or twisted; however, I did find where whoever built the thing messed up in measuring/mounting the bar that holds the outer sides of the chrome bottom light bar. Not critical and can't be seen so no biggie. As for Nina filling it with shopping stuff ... ain't gonna happen ... I mean, it will be too full of beer and ice!!! Yep, no doubt I'll have it finished by the time we come to Nelson but that's too quick of a run for bringing the trailer ... thought we'd go to Venture West 2010 in Durango but that has changed due to some other expenses I have to deal with. But, we will be taking a holiday in Sep and we will be towing the trailer / camping ... plans now are to make our way towards Biggar, SK where Nina's mom lives so if you're not gone to Durango, we may hook up then too.

Thanks for the suggestion ... been there, done that LOL As for the "Fix it in a can" .... will that work instead of Cialis? :sign20:
-
thanks ... was my intent to do all of that ... yes, 8 inch although appearances can be deceiving, I haven't found anything worse than what was visible and I think this thing just flipped and skidded down the road as opposed to rolling several times. But I will be measuring and checking/packing the bearings. I've already got all the crap liner out, lights removed, chrome top rails removed, am and working on removing the piano hinge. Next will be unbolting the box from the frame so I can check it and clean it all up. Lotsa fun!!! as Nina said... I needed a project LOL

Thanks buddy ... I think??

well just in case it doesn't, I bought a new tube of Shoe-Goo ...

You boys in the good old US of A seem to either forget or just don't know that ya'll can get stuff that we can't, and do a whole lot more for a whole lot less "down south" than us Canucks can. I've looked all over and nobody I could find sells a similar frame and a similar car top carrier (less capacity and not a snice) alone is $200 plus taxes of 12% up here. I think I will have as much of a trailer in this one than the one in the link above. Heck, it doesn't weigh more than 150 lbs or so...maybe less coz the wife and I unloaded it from the truck. As for it's size... the pics are very deceiving... Overall length = 90" Width (tire to tire) = 40" Width of box = 30" Length of box = 48" Depth of box (to lid seam) = 18" Overall height = 39" Capacity = appx 18 cu ft (inclusive of lid) a little less that the one you show but this one has space (and a rack) for a cooler. Not so... it wasn't his rig originally, it was an insurance writeoff that he bought. He is a VW bug builder (hobby) and he'd planned on re-doing the 3 wheeler. The trailer just came with it as a package deal. The guy is an RCMP member and very nice family man. I checked the trailer out and it's not all that bad ... $200 max to repair I figgure. The thing even has 2 spares that mount underneath...all in good shape. Anyhoo, it's now sitting in my garage. I'll keep a log of costs and take some progress pics and post an update when completed. In any event, I'm happy (at least at this point LOL). Thanks guys for the advice tho... I do appreciate it and ya'll.

Guy got back to me ... he'll "let it go" for $350 so I think I'll make the trip and check it out. Crap, just realized it'll cost me $100 just for gas LOL
-
I heard back from the owner and according to him, the frame is not bent. I believe that to be true considering the kind of damage sustained. I've offered him $200 due to the fact that visible damage can be concealing and may actually be much worse once a person gets into the repair process ... so we'll see what his response is.

I don't know if it's "stupidity" or a false sense of security. People get into a vehicle and think they're invincible and the bigger the vehicle, the more invincible and protected they think they are and with seat belts, and a dozen air bags... "nothing can happen to me" attitude... they don't give a chit about anyone else. Normally meek people become aggressive monsters once inside their cage. It's a sad, sad state and it's not getting any better. Was chatting with a couple of co-workers who were born and raised in other countries, one being India and we were talking about the drivers and traffic there. You think it's bad here??? HA! ... but one of the problems I see is that these people immigrate to our country and bring their crazy driving habits with them. No wonder it's getting worse around here. Anybody can read a book, answer a few questions, and pass a simple road test but that doesn't correct those bad driving habits one iota. And then they teach their young...

Certain models of DVD burners have this problem. I would return it to the store where you bought it and get a different brand.

Lots of folks swear by Amsoil. I tried it last year (before the I basket when I had the whine) ... made the whole engine sound noisier...not sure if the whine was worse or not. I'm now using Rotella T 15w40. The engine is the quietest that it's ever been and I'm quite happy with it now... to me it sound like it should sound.

yep, I used to use Zonealarm years ago and about 6 month's ago I decided to install it on my son's computer after rebuilding it due to a bad virus. Zonealarm caused lots of problems...dumped it real quick.

Same law came into effect here in BC, Canada Jan 1st. I finish work about 15 minutes ahead of my wife so I sit in my truck and wait for her. To amuse myself, I watch the drivers passing by and count the one's using a cell phone. Surprisingly, there aren't that many...anymore. I never did this before the law passed but it sure seemed to me that there were a lot more back then.
