  1. This one is a 99. Maybe two of them, depends on how ambitious I get.
  2. Probably don't, cuz most of this has set outside, but I will check tomorrow when there is daylight. 😋
  3. Again for sale. $3000. Accumulated parts include Ohlins front springs, Ohlins rear shock, fancy exhaust can, aftermarket seat, and probably stuff I've stashed someplace in a corner.
  4. I was scolded the last time I broke down an XX for not putting it out there. Most of you know to get in touch with me if they need bits and pieces, but not all. Cleaning up around here I found another XX to dismantle, so message me for odds, ends, and bits you need. I may, but probably don't have pristine fairing pieces. I can at least check for what you need. Thanks!
  5. That would only work with the electric supercharger and 48 volt battery array.
  6. 17254-MAT-000 sub filter for the vent from the valve cover.
  7. I looked at HF, they have their big 60 gallon in their August flyer, but oddly, not on the website, and there's no information about it on the website at all, which is strange. Many discontinued items I've been able to access manuals for in the past. Hmmm. Anyway, I've been looking around trying to decipher all the apples to oranges comparisons. In my wanderings, I came across a Husky C810 with a 3 cylinder head for $900 with an 80 gallon tank. Seemed pretty good. I was searching a while for some specs and a review when I came across aircompressorsdirect.com. They didn't list the Husky, but they did list the Quincy QT54, which I had looked at before because it was listed on Lowe's website. I really liked that, but $1300 was a little stretch. That actually seemed like a really good price for a Quincy 60 gallon 2 stage pump, and I considered it , and spent more time checking it out on that website. I was kinda leery of the reviews, with 96% super and 4% (verified owners) reporting the thing blew up in 40 minutes and that they thought Quincy support was shite. Reading about that, I noticed the Quincy 60 gallon 3.5 horse single stage compressor for $800. That had even better reviews, but still the absolutely horrid few. As I read the reviews, I became aware of yet another concern with getting a big compressor --- weight. I can unload something that size from a truck readily with my tractor, but moving it into a corner of my garage would be a real labor for something that weighs 450 pounds and is bigger than I am. Perhaps a smaller unit more my own weight might be a wiser choice. I'm not getting any younger, and I don't have help with stuff like this. Also, I now realize that the cost of accessories for a compressor that makes 175 psi is significantly greater than your standard air pressures, and that's important as well. So I'm leaning toward the smaller Quincy, but to quote someone........... "I don't knooww"
  8. I've accepted this one's capacity for a long time. I'm pretty sure I bought it in '96 from Walmart for $120 as a closeout. It's a good little compressor. Been drained at least 10 times in its life, been underwater once, and has pretty much zero maintenance ever. 20 gallon tank and 1 cylinder means I can take car wheels off but not truck wheels, and changing a tire means waiting through 4 compressor cycles and I often have to use my blast bottle to seat a bead, which takes another cycle, and those cycles are slooow. It's been a great compressor for what it is, but I move slower and am not as strong as I used to be. I'd much rather use my impact wrench to take off CV axle nuts than a 6 foot cheater bar. So I don't need commercial grade necessarily, but I would like higher capacity and output. It's interesting to read the different specs. How does one unit have 15 cfm at 90, 125, and 175 psi, and the next unit have such different numbers? I had a beautiful Quincy that Cal rewired and set up all nice for me that got all wet in 2011 and I didn't have time to attend to it. 😒
  9. I decided I need an upgrade. My old Campbell-Hausefield keeps clankin' along, bless its heart, but it's 25 years old and had a hard life. I want to start looking for a replacement before it goes drain plug up. Most know I'm not opposed to Harbor Freight products given the right circumstance, so I went looking online....WTF? They don't have bigger compressors anymore. When did that happen? And now what do I do? Tractor Supply has IR and Dewalt compressors, but I'm surprised at the poor reviews the IR compressors have.
  10. More than an inch. It's certainly noticeable.
  11. Lower the rear by rotating the shock link triangle forward.
  12. Too bad they are rare as hen's teeth. Same bearings, so potentially an easy swap.
  13. Green, white, and blue wire? Just guessing....
  14. I wouldn't.....those are MAZ, not MAT designated.
  15. I suspect the black box is for HID headlight(s) as it is not stock. The two plugs for the dash panel are at the bottom of the back of the cluster housing midway to either side.
  16. At the arrow is a 10mm bolt. take it out, and pull the clutch line up to get some slack. That's what many people do when they put on VFR bars or such. Mines been loose like that for 50,000 miles and I haven't seen a problem yet.
  17. I believe it is 12x1.25 and you should be able to buy a regular bung rather than using a nut. Search lambda sensor bung.
  18. We used to get along, eh. I remember a third gear wheelie up the entrance ramp with her on the back of my Yamaha turbo. She seemed to enjoy that, as I was rewarded enthusiastically later that day. Lots of water over that dam....
  19. When I was getting rid of my motorcycles because I was told to, I took my V65 Sabre to the dealer to sell it. They inspected it, and offered $1000 because the cams were bad. Funny they went bad in two months, as I had checked the valves that March. I sold it to a different dealer who offered me $1500 without checking the valves.
