  1. Are there similar charts for street sport tires? I've always assumed that the rear could be run with less than the front just based on their size, but since all the factory recommendations are for more in the rear I assumed I was ignorant to something. Just about every Jap sport bike I've looked at recommends 36/42. The Ducs I had with the same size tires recommended lower, and from memory the F&R pressures were closer to each other.
  2. Some, maybe all, of them use a pawl that grabs two or more teeth at a time to help spread the load so they could be as strong as a coarse toothed one. Metallurgy and precision will make a bigger strength difference with the fine. I've screwed up a couple of the coarse, but don't remember if I abused them; probably. I have one fine that has a very sticky selector, but don't remember if I abused it. I've used ratcheting wrenches as 'backer' wrenches with an impact gun a few times, quite abusive to them.
  3. I'm not well organized, but it's decent most of the time. The home wrenches are mostly just laid out in order on carpet type drawer liners. They shift a bit when the drawers are shut too hard, but it's not bad. The ambulance wrenches are mostly in slotted trays to try to keep them organized, but big bumps disrupt that.
  4. Excluding the very expensive professional brand wrenches I have (Snap-On, Mac, etc), I really like my "Craftsman Professional" set, don't know if they still make them. The Icon line from Harbor Freight looks pretty good but I haven't used any. The regular Craftsman are satisfactory 99% of the time. I have some 6 point pro-grade I got in a used tool bundle decades ago, I've only used them a couple times, they don't need to exist. I have several brands of modern fine tooth ratcheting wrenches and love them. I also have sets of the really old style with the big teeth from pro names and Craftsman, they're ok but not great due to the large swing needed to jump teeth. The pro grade are a hair better but not worth the $. If I were assembling a set of ratcheting I'd probably choose fine tooth swivel head. I say probably because I don't own any and have only used them a few times, but I think I'd like them the best.
  5. Looks like the gas prices in CA. ...at the cheap stations.
  6. I think that's the first time I've heard someone advocate running the same pressure F&R.
  7. This is assuming it's a normal gauge open to the atmosphere. There are some calibrated gauges that are 'blind' to the atmosphere, that gauge would read 40 anywhere. Also, this is all my theory, I could be totally wrong.
  8. From sea level to 5,000 feet your gauge will read higher by about 2.5 PSI with the same amount of air in the tire, not a huge difference. For clarity; if you were at 40 psi at sea level and rode up to 5,000 that same gauge would read about 42.5. Should one adjust for it? Dunno. If you had decided that 40 was perfect for you my gut says that you should run the indicated 42.5 instead of dropping it to 40, but don't know. Never gave that any thought before.
  9. Depends on the demand. I have welded from a generator but it was an old school non-inverter type around 4000w.
  10. One of these will run a small/medium size A/C. One plus a soft start like Ice posted will run most, maybe all sizes of A/C. It may not leave much for running other things at the same time. Two in parallel should let you do anything you want, unless you have dual large A/C units then you might be a bit limited.
  11. Did you get the troubled ones fixed, sell them, decide to deal with the hard start? Being NIB they'll be easy to sell. They're about 50lbs each with packaging and not very big, shouldn't be very expensive to ship. I wish I needed them enough to justify the $, those are great gennies.
  12. So what's the story here? You bought two that had issues so they sent you free replacements?
  13. Plastic has no salt, oil, or calories so it's ok. It's even gluten free in case you're one of those people.
  14. Tumble polish, pretty cool idea. I occasionally have stuff that won't fit in my tumblers, I'll have to keep in mind that I have the much larger drum polisher by Electrolux also in the garage.
  15. Is that black/grey on the inside and green/camouflage on the outside?

    Since it'll be an off season project without hurry, measure and see if any need adjusting. If so, pull those and buy the just the shims you need.
  17. I'll go 20k. Because I need enough back to cover the dry clutch conversion kit.
  18. How many miles and what weight of rider was the suspension set up for?
  19. I've seen all kinds of parking passes and similar stickers left on cars for years after they were expired/not being used.
  20. I had been thinking about listing it and the F-150 not being able to decide which to sell, figured I'd let the decision happen for me. I just got a call from my buddy's secretary who's interested in the 150. Hmmm.
  21. 😆 I looked just long enough for that to start making sense, hopefully it doesn't stick to my brain.
  22. I walked out the back door and remembered why I learned to ignore them. Up close they kinda piss me off. From the patio lounger they look ok, kinda cool.
  23. If that has happened it implies a charging issue or bad connection.
  24. Grew on me= they stopped being near the top of the 'must do' list and fell onto the ignore list.
