AND THE WINNER IS.................. Thanks to looking on Craigslist someone had these and no longer the bike they fit $180 for BOTH woo hoo.

And a far better tree swing for your yard when you do wear it out. I feel the same on the later and will have $ recouped by then. Is the p3 at least slightly sticky? I really should get a set for best confidence in the twistys huh? cool I am aware and planed to buy the match in short time, but as mentioned to Krypt I think I better just shell for the pair now

Thank you Yes she rides great and the feeling of knowing there are no pending problems that could do damageto the bike is priceless. I can fully enjoy the ride now. Do Avons come in different colors? kidding. Wow I'm glad to hear some of the members have owned and like them for the bird. They are in stock at fair internet like price at my local shop so I can have one tomorrow. I wish I could get a set but for now just the rear. I can believe that. At this point I dropped more cash than I can in a time frame by buying the bike having recent repairs then fixing my Intruder for sale. I really needed to sell the Intruder to buy the XX, but it was a time thing. They prob run $200 each here. they sell the ones I mentioned so I assume they would say those. TY I think I will go with the P# one now and the front is good but I may get a matching one just so it's fresher. The frt tire may be very old.

Great news! Thanks to the honest pros at Bromley's in Trevose, PA I now (at a fair price) have a new chain, front sprocket better clutch feel and some answers. On the head race bearing, as luck has: The mechanic ( a Bromley himself) tells me it's ok and does not need replacement right away. You gotta love finding a mechanic with the dealer's last name (has to be a good thing for quality repairs) & honesty like that. The handle bar wobble is due to the rear tire being worn AND The mechanic made my day by saying that the bike is in really good shape and looks to have been treated well. :-) :-) :-) TIRES TIRES TIRES That makes the bad new not bad at all I picked up a screw in the back tire and need a new one only one day with the bike back. I intend to ride as far into winter as heated gear will allow. Even though I would love to say "What is the tire for racing guys that want to stick like glue with one knee down" I would rather say "Hey I'm not in the hospital because I was tooling down the road in the rain. What do you guys THINK OF MICHELIN POWER 3S? THANK YOU TO E V E R Y O N E WHO LENDED THEIR ADVICE, COMIC RELIEF AND FRIENDSHIP IN RESPONSE TO MY FIRST POST.

There should be a button for LOVE THIS. That would make it grab early, not late in the release. The clutches save lives things was a bit on comic relief TY looking for the love this button again TY I will try this after the bikereturns from chain sprocket job. At that point I will also have ifno as to what the repair shop said.

First of all THANK YOU to EVERYONE THAT PITCHED IN TO HELP!!!!!!!! This is by far the coolest group of ANY kind I have ever joined. I was BLOWN AWAY by how many of you took the time to help me especially being the FNG (f.....ng new guy) around here. I did have to break down and take the bike to a shop BUT at least I (with everyones help) was able to weigh the options. If we were going into winter a bit sooner I would have done the chain myself. I dont have a rivet press (or time). I DID at least know what I was talking about thanks again and asked to have a front sprocket installed. It looks like it will be $110 for the chain $45 for a steel front sprocket and $90 hr labor (they said less than an hour. If you are still reading in bad news my clutch seems to only start to grab on the last inch when I release it. I will look this up before asking anyone but I fear there is little I can do to adjust it. The head race bearing will have to wait and on the bright side they have paved most the roads just recently around here after the awful winter damage that probably was what killed it.

What type of jacks or stands do you guys like for the bird? I'm sure I'll add all that stuff. $ is a bit tight now. I guess what I'm saying is since I need to keep the bike on the road Id rather have the chain installed w/ the few bucks I can max my card out than buy tools. I'll add them soon. I figure if I can get six points drop forged brand is not too important except for things like ratchets ( have those in Craftsman in all sizes) I have a good collection of S-K, MAC and Craftsman tools but for the large size metric stuff.

It's a VS 1400 Intruder. I'm trying to sell it to pay for the stuff my XXneeds. It needs a tire and studs pressed in the cylinder. The original ones vibrated out.. The V-twin tends to loosen bolts due to the shaking. I tried putting bolts in it, but they only hold for one ride.

If anyone that has successfully replaced a headrace bearing (or whatever it is called) lives near Bucks County PA or Philly and wants to hang out and make a fair side job buck.. I would like to know. I have done tons of work on cars I just never have done this before, the bike is scratchless black and I don't have large tools in metric or bike stands/jacks. Most my big stuff is standard for my GTO and other muscle cars that I have repaired or hot rodded in the past years. Also, due to a debated car accident the insurance company keeps stalling payment on, my car is not drive-able so I need the bike back on the road quickly.

YES A 48 YEAR OLD ONE!

I Live in Bucks County just north of Phila. PA.

I have found that double cluching works well to get her in first or net when she is being stubborn.

I'm kinda lost now on Delusions is saying are you helping me tighten the head bearing or speaking about the chain? Tomorrow I am TAKING THE BIKE TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR A NEW CHAIN $129 PLUS $65 TO INSTALL. ( sorry caps lock) I have to look down to type. I hope the sprockets are good or at least cheap to have done while there.

Yes a 48 year old one.
