Do you what oils have it? Thanks Topic: just bought a 1984 Nighthawk 650 Kenneth Knight <[email protected]> Apr 20 10:00PM -0400 ^ thanks Allen Topic: Got a quote from the mechanic surfswab <[email protected]> Apr 20 05:49PM -0700 ^ Another way of looking at it is that motorcycles are pretty much money pits. Period. Even new ones. If it's not mechanical issues that get spendy, it's the "farkles" -- accessories, gadgets, this piece of chrome or that. Helmets, riding gear, saddle bags, GPS units, windshields, extra lights...and on and on. If I had all the money I've spent on bikes during my lifetime...well, I'd probly buy another one (!) The only way to NOT spend money on a bike is not to own one. "Allen Thomas" <[email protected]> Apr 21 12:53AM ^ Still way cheaper than boats!

Kurt Nolte <[email protected]> Apr 20 08:53PM -0400 ^ No different than sports cars, trucks or any other vehicle beyond a standard "Beige Camry" vehicle. -Kurt surfswab <[email protected]> Apr 20 06:44PM -0700 ^ So did the shop give you a thorough diagnosis of the problem, or are they just guessing? From what you describe, it sounds like gas got into the crankcase due to the carb problem and diluted the oil. That in itself should not have caused the kind of damage they're describing, unless you rode it like that for awhile. You might want to try an oil/filter change, an air filter change, clean raw gas from the airbox and crankcase breather -- and track down the carb problem, including inspection of the petcock diaphragm yourself -- than see how it runs, before dropping that kind of money. Topic: Clymer/parts fiche difference jimwilliams <[email protected]> Apr 20 06:19PM -0700 ^ I have an 86 CB450SC, and I'm replacing the fork seals. Clymer says there is a "back-up plate" that sits between the oil seal and the circlip, but the parts fiche doesn't. My bike did not have one either, but the oil seal that leaked had the impression of the circlip on it, so I think it probably needs the back up plate, but I'm not sure. Anyone have an idea on this one? Thanks! Jim Topic: Slipstreamer Spitfire mounting tips needed surfswab <[email protected]> Apr 20 06:09PM -0700 ^ National has a new Plexifairing model they just came out with, too. It's called the GT. Looks the same to me, but according to the specs it's an inch narrower and an inch shorter. Haven't seen any reviews of it, so don't know what, if any, advantages it has over the previous design. The ad copy is not very specific about that either. Topic: Gas tank restoration Dan Mtbiker <[email protected]> Apr 20 05:53PM -0700 ^ I had my tank restored for 100. Acid washed, then lined it. It has some dents. A friend in college showed me how to fixed dents in cars and maybe bike tanks for only about $3.50 to $5.00. I am going to try this. I seen it work in person in the hot sun of Florida, no hair drier. He used air in the can (air duster in a can). He watched on you tube. Do a search and see what I mean. Good luck. Warning about lining the tank, if it has a internal vent? make sure it does not get blocked. Topic: On the subject of exhaust Graham Rogers <[email protected]> Apr 20 08:23PM -0400 ^ Red Lion! we got to keep each other in mind Bernie. I see quite a few bikes I'd be interested in looking at. I'll let you know about the 550 I'm looking at. I went and saw it today - in great shape. Graham "Allen Thomas" <[email protected]> Apr 21 12:29AM ^ My brother lives in Red Lion I usually ride up there a couple times a summer and hang out. Graham, I thought you were way up there near Pittsburgh.

Apparently there are some mechanically-inclined guys out there who have devised some forward controls for a Wing, but with the opposed four cylinder orientation your legs end up being spread pretty wide. (I just deal with it when I use my highway pegs since it allows me to recline when on longer rides.) But I would think having controls sticking that far out from the bike would look kind of sketch. I guess it's personal opinion.
