  1. Since it's after 1:00 am, maybe I can get you a shot tomorrow. It uses the upper caliper bolts IIRC. A strap really don't fit great on the Bird because of all the linked brake hoses but it will work.
  2. Thanks David. Very informative. I will have to try that this summer.
  3. I have one of those and almost never use it. It puts out so much heat, it's unbearable. I put up Flourescent lights (about $10 each) all over my garage and used with drop lights, don't need much else.
  4. Joe, would this also apply if the rear was dropped the same amount?
  5. Put a strap on it but leave it loose, when you get to your biker hangout, pull the strap tight. Loosen before you leave. Oh, don't forget to shorten your kickstand.
  6. Wow, I always wanted to ride a bike with bars. I think it would take a while to rap my mind around holding the throttle wide open and dropping the clutch. How do I wire my shift light to trip my air shifter? Thanks.
  7. I think mine are at 2-1/2, some people go 3. It's been awhile. They are kind of hard to get to when on the bike.
  8. Highjack: So, what all is done to your bike to get high nines?
  9. Since you are selling your bike this fall, I could take those lines off your hands.
  10. +1, I never get any of those silly lights.
  11. Not always. I have K&N, Dyno Jet and Yosh slip-ons and I did mine one time and it seems perfect. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
  12. I have scraped my fairing before hitting the feelers! I don't like that much.
  13. I am one down in front and one up in the rear (46). I wanted to try 47 rear in the last group buy but it didn't work out. With a stock front and one up in the rear, I don't think that you would be able to tell the difference. It is hard to get steel rear sprockets. If you want to go more than one tooth, I think it would be better to just do the front and it is cheaper also. If I rode long trips, I would leave it stock, I don't.
  14. Has anyone here ran a 15 tooth front?
  15. This shoud be put into a file to save because you know in a couple of weeks or so, someone will be asking about it. I know they can do a search, but it would be nice to have a "Here is how it is done" file.
  16. Back in the early 80's, we had gasahol. I ran it in my car. It ran OK but I did seem to have some carb troubles.
  17. Up until about a year ago, there was no stores anywhere near me (still not close). I didn't know they even had stores, only mailorder.
  18. If you jacked up your bike so the front tire just touched the ground, couldn't you just slide the axle out without removing the wheel?
  19. Harbor Freight always had free shipping on anything over $50. The last catalog that I looked at, it didn't seem to be this way anymore. I have gotten a good bit of stuff from them over the years, even a 4x8 trailer which had free shipping.
  20. Let us know how that goes. NOS Yea baby.
  21. If you don't mind Herb, what do you weigh in pounds?
