    My wife don't want a TV in the bedroom ... I don't understand why...it's the best place to view certain video's.....

    That's not what I read... I read the linked brakes are standard and ABS with linked brakes are the option... ???? EDIT: correction ... one site says the linked braking comes with ABS as an available option and another site says the linked brakes are standard and the ABS is an option... and neither are from the Kaw site...still trying to find that info on the Kaw site... EDIT again: I found it on the Kaw site... they have the "standard" model without ABS and Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology and then they have the upscaled model with ABS and Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology... (from their site) K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS enables riders to execute controlled, balanced braking. Designed to complement riders’ applied brake force, K-ACT ABS ensures ideal brake force distribution to maximise braking efficiency. http://www.kawasaki.ca/model/vulcan-1700-voyager:1148 http://www.kawasaki.ca/model/vulcan-1700-voyager-abs/technology:1172

    all I can say is...if I stopped buying products NOT made in my country, I wouldn't have much of anything! ... and I wouldn't cause anything to change either...except my own lifestyle.

    We bought an LG 37" HDTV 1080p a year ago... it was the best deal for that size at the time. Got it at Futureshop (essentially Best Buy). We're very happy with it although with my eyes, we should have gone to maybe a 60 inch LOL ... seriously tho, it's great for us and we got HDTV thru SAT and the picture is unbelievable! Take a look at the different connectivity capabilities ... some models will have certain capabilities while others won't and it depends on what you might want to hook up to it such as a computer. We have a smaller, wall-mounted one at work in the boardroom which has a direct connection to the laptop....great for presentations and it also has a USB port that we can plug in a stick and run a powerpoint presentation. Not all models will have that. When we were deciding, the store was able to connect to standard cable service or HDTV on any of the display units...it was good to view the different sets and how good or not good the standard cable feed was .... most channels still come in that way and not a lot are in HD yet...although that's slowly changing. Another thing to consider is your tv feed (cable, satellite, etc) and the device used to bring in the HDTV. When the standard channels (non HD) come through that device, depending on the quality of that unit and the TV itself, that feed's quality can be diminished making the picture not look as good as it would without the HDTV device. (hope that all makes sense LOL) If I recall corectly, it has something to do with converting anolog feed to digital. I've also heard that plasma is better when you get up into the 50 inch and over size.

    I recall reading that ABS is an option so maybe that's where the difference is....

    His car definately has a '39 grille but from the angle and the size of the pic, it's hard to tell if they are '39 headlight bezels...I believe they are... Me too about the AMT kits... from about 8 yrs old right thru to my early 40's I've been a car model builder ... no idea how many of those 39/40 Ford kits I've done but lots! I only have 2 models left now tho... I got a 1/8 scale Monogram '32 Ford and a 1/25 scale IH cabover tractor. The cabover was bought/built during my days managing a heavy truck lease/rental operation for IH called Idealease in Calgary, Alberta. The '32 is my second one... the first I built when I was around 18 and won 1st place in a car model contest. My current one is in pieces waiting for me to rebuild it. Had it now for about 20 yrs. oooops... here I go hijacking again..... :eek:

    Kevin, I'm curious to know what kind of paint you used? Did you clear coat and if so, how many coats?
  17. SilvrT
    What's interesting is that the calipers are there... hmmmmm mebbe some new teknology... AIR BRAKES!!
  18. SilvrT
    WOW!!!! nice job!! ... looks really great...really stands out! I like the color scheme...yellow is not a color that suits everything...some things look great in yellow, others don't... looks really good the way you did it with the black!

    Mine has that annoying whine/chirp too. I notice it most at lower rpm's when I'm driving around the city but once out on the open road, I don't notice it at all. I'll eventually change out my mufflers but for me, those pipes you got are a bit too loud...think I'll be going with the Kromewerks (sp?). Seeing as my mileage is still pretty low (2800 km's), I think I'll hold off until maybe next fall before I decide if I will go to the dealer and get the I-basket ... maybe by then, the whine will have subsided -OR- I will be deaf! LOL

    I agree; however, at times I felt he seemed a bit "larger than life" ...but that's not necessarilly a bad thing. I feel he has some "issues" going on tho (don't we all to some degree?). Regardless, I always enjoyed his postings and he's one guy I'd like to meet in person.

    I stumbled onto that site a few days ago and found that kit had deleted most, if not all, his previous posts where he had been talking about the RSV he had. What's the link to that site again?
  23. SilvrT
    HUH????????????????? :think: :rasberry:

    It sure does...and thanks a bunch... from this thread and your info I've just finished installing my Auxilliary Fuse box. It was a "piece of cake"! BTW, I used 10 gauge wire from the battery to the fuse box. (damn those short screws they put into the battery terminals eh) (good thing I've had LOTS of experience with those and have a specially made (by me) hooked screwdriver to hold the nut up)

    In the above diagram, do you connect the "to switched power" to a live positive that is only live when you turn the ignition on?... or?? And that way, the accessory connected only has power when the ignition is turned on?
