  1. ....should maybe start a "build" thread in The Garage sub-forum. This is good stuff.
  2. ...five if i count "the basket case".
  3. ...actually I need four - one for each old Honda.
  4. I need one of these badly - ten minutes ago I didn't know they existed....
  5. i knew I was getting hosed. I had kidney stones going and it was about -15F last week. I just wanted it done. Then the starter went. .... .... .... .... .... ..last round of folly, I got the lifetime warranty starter. ...at a different dealer - so - better, so I went back to them. They checked the alternator (batteries, lifetime warrany, weren't charging - one of them tested bad the other - good, no lifetime warranty on the alternator). The last time I got batteries I asked this non-branded shop to go and get me Motorcraft with 3 year unlimited warranty. The warranty was going to be over in February. FoMoCo gave me one new battery free. I bought the other one new for peace of mind. I got the new alternator as lifetime warranty. They cleaned all the connections and replaced bolts in the terminals etc. Parts were $500.00 for the stuff not under warranty. LABOR WAS ONLY $100.00 I don't know if I'll own it for another 3 years for the batteries. The charging light that was on on the dash for 6 years (diagnosed as un-diagnose-able) magically went out. It's in the thirties for temp this week - maybe rain on Christmas. I'm thinking it should start well when the -20F stuff comes through.
  6. Just missing the bolts, or are you missing the racks too? I have a line on a set with no hardware whatsoever. I'm trying to figure how to rig them myself.
  7. Simple. My F250 had a fuel leak coming from the engine compartment. I wanted no part of it. Crawling up in the engine at 0 degrees. I took it to the dealership. They diagnosed broken "fuel filter water valve". They charged me over three hundred dollars to replace it. Over $200 was labor. I bet it was half hour job. Simple - and no sense of personal satisfaction and/or being screwed at the dealer.
  8. "This" http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/uploads/monthly_2016_09/image.jpg.deb78290ea513c423074e2031ce42813.jpg
  9. Man, that header is close to the radiator. Sitting in traffic on a decently hot day on the bridge in Sualt Sainte Marie watching my temp peg was no fun. Then having my stator go TI was icing on the cake.... It was probably already weak, but the heat did it in - IMHO. You went to the trouble to put in a manual switch. It will be interesting to see how well it works. That would be easier than mounting a whole 'nother fan.
  10. Did you consider doing the auxiliary fan trick? All this documentation - you should have dropped in some pictures.
  11. I'm back to work... . .catching up on bills, will probably take a reverse one when I get some cash .
  12. 1 does it list ingredients? 2 Google it to see if there are problems with bikes?
  13. I'm interested in the mirror covers. Painted as stock? I won't get a paycheck for a while, but if they're still here I'll probably take them.
  14. I'll get in line... No rush. I may have paychecks coming in - in the near future.
  15. I can't find the thread. One of the asylum-mates rigged an extra fan in front of the radiator. He did really nice job. It's on my to-do list.
