  1. Where did you find a dampened 18? For a vfr?
  2. 18 front (1 up) corrects the speedometer but predictably, the odometer will then be off. I rode with an 18 for years, has no problem two up with luggage in the moun to ain switchbacks of TN and NC. A little slower off the line reflected by 1/8 mile times, but 1/4 mile times the same as you can pull 4th gear through the traps as opposed to running out of gear or short shifting. Personally, I enjoyed both the slightly broader usable speed range of the lower gears and felt I needed to shift less frequently. I also liked the cruising rpm a little more relaxed. Fuel usage improved by 1-2 mpg overall. Your mileage in all these aspects will vary, of course, depending on how aggressive you wish to be with the load handle.
  3. Sure. I'll make sure I don't throw any of that out until you know what you want.
  4. I still have piles of stuff. Breaks my heart to discard what has been an important part of my life for the last 25 years.
  5. Don't know how long it lasts, but as of 7/22/24 Versacarry.com has blem products on sale for up to 65% off with code "blemish". They make leather goods including holsters, mag pouches, and belts.
  6. If TOXXIC doesn't want it, I'll take it. i have two of that brand, so it will find use.
  7. And I agree with you as well. Clear is cool til it has some use on it and turns yellow.
  8. Clear seems to discolor and look grungy much sooner than black.
  9. I would say folks are getting confused, possibly they are using SER cable which is almost always aluminum. But yeah, copper 6AWG works within your 125% of constant load. Yeah, tape one of the hots. But the neutral should be white or grey, and ground green.
  10. That's a pretty good price for a full rebuild, depending on what was replaced. You lose the "I did it" factor and bonding with your ride, but life is short, and I already know more about carbs than I want to.
  11. Lowes is weird. But convenient for short pieces of wire. I assume your connectors only support #6 conductors. With Cu THHN it will be fine if the only thing on the line is the charging port. Start running lights or something on it and you'll be undersupplied.
