  1. A while back a lot of people were saying that Dexi-Cool antifreeze would turn dark brown and gum up the works. So I changed it to Honda stuff in both my Bird and Wing (did the Wing tonight). The Dexi-Cool still looked like it did when I put it in over three years ago. I will keep using the Honda stuff but just thought I would put this out there for people that are still using it.

  2. In my Wal-Mart, the price of Mobil 1 5-quart jug went down to $19.88 from $22.something. I guess I will be stocking up on it.

    Man, after thinking about it, that $9.00 I will be saving on 3 jugs will buy me a meal at McDonalds. :roll:

  3. I have the Erion slip ons on there now and was wondering if they would take away to much of the backpressure thereby not allowing the seals to seat.

    Yes, do not use the Erions. Send them to me and I will send you the stock cans. Anything to help you out. :grin: :lol:

  4. I never liked just using a floor jack when taking the front wheel off because it doesn't seem too stable when shaking the bike around. I have a steel beam running across the center of my garage ceiling (but you could put in large eye hooks) and I used my Canyon Dancer (used for trailering) plus two ratchet straps to tie the bike to the ceiling. Put the bike ahead of the beam, put your Canyon Dancer on, use your straps from the dancer to the beam and crank them up. I still put the jack under it. You can shake the bike as much as you want and it is really stable. I used it tonight for changing the fork oil. BTW-the right fork oil looked about like the new oil (red), the left leg oil looked like motor oil (dark, not red). The bike has never been to the dealer so Honda must have did this. Odd.
