  1. Hey Stan, did you notice there is a coyote in your workshop?

    That's a wolf!

    And yeah kinda....But, he is gone now. Had to put him down. Was 10 years old so about time. One of my 13 year old labs went a month ago, just lad down and went the long sleep. His brother is still going and may have knocked up the 1 1/2 year old girl lab this last week. Proud ain't good enough a word.

    Zxxx is the search word for where to look for the instructions on how to do this conversion.

    We need to have "Benham Suspension" stickers printed.

    Here are the specs except this one has 4GB of RAM, the 20" monitor's native resolution is 1920x1200, there's an extra battery (which you'll need), and a legal licensed installation of Windows 7.

    It's in excellent condition. The video card was having issues, so I hunted down the replacement and installed it and everything is back to glorious -- other than the fact that I don't play games.

    $1200 + shipping

    It's a beast. Seriously. It's completely ridiculous. You know you want it.

  3. I want a Danmoto slipon to replace the Micron can on my turbobird. The input is a different diameter. I guess I'll need to go measure it and see if they can make me one.

    Need a home for that Micron?

    It's rashed up. Would you still want it?

  4. Avon got the worst reputation of them all.

    They're a shitload better than anything by Dunlop or Metzeler. Not that that's saying much.

    Disagree. I went from Avon to Metzelers a long time ago and it was a huge step up in everything but wear, which was about the same. The Z6/M1 Metzeler combo was one of my favorites way back when.

    I'm not going defend Dunlops.

    I had Dunlops and Metzelers both delaminate on my Valkryie. I'll never have either brand on any vehicle I own ever again.

    Right now, I'm all about the Pirelli.

  5. The 97-98 kit comes with a clutch line too according to Scott at Speigler. Does anybody know how much longer it is vs stock? I think I'm going to go with these and the kit I'm buying used doesn't have it included.

    Give it a test fit first before you buy an extended clutch or brake line. When I put my LSL bars on, I also installed +2" lines, but there's a lot of slack.

    Damn, if I practiced that kind of logic I would have saved myself a bundle of cash over the years!

    Good suggestion, I think I'll follow that advice.

    I'm great at handing out advice that I should have followed.

  7. meant to say self start with dead battery. that feature is the only good thing I see in the existing shunt regulator scheme.

    Yeah, I'm not sure how to get around that. Giving up the bum-start option wouldn't bother me greatly.

    And in case you're interested, the thought of using a synchronous rectifier instead of diodes comes to mind here with the switcher scheme. Might not be worth the bother, but I think it has merit.

    If we were trying to source starting current through it, maybe, but I'd need to do some math before I was ready to sign up for the added complexity.
