I like the drain in floor. Easy cleanup.

A 5th gen with givi bags, 53k miles in good condition came on the market in craigslist Portland for $3,200 this morning and it is gone already. Just checked for it a few minutes ago and in its place is a 1986. https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/mcy/d/vancouver-1986-honda-interceptor-500/7288934882.html

I was on that very same ride mid September 2019. Only made it halfway before the weather made it no fun and I headed back home. Planned on it this last summer but the Covid put a slammer on it. This summer maybe? Anyway, Cogswells path is a awesome ride experience.

Why do people want to remove the pair valve? What advantage is there?

Seems like a good price and maybe a little low. Good luck with getting it sold. What are you replacing it with?

The collar you are dealing with spaces the splined damper drive #6 away from the bearing block. It fits in the dust seal #9 and contacts the radial bearing #28. Picture #s refer to the first page lower diagram. I just finished doing some maintenance on my rear axle a few weeks back, so this is still fresh in my mind.

Yay! I hope you are serious about that.

I have been wearing the LS2 strobe helmet for a month now. Great value but the clearance at the chin bar is on the tight side. My chin touches it slightly when it is in riding position. Could use another quarter inch clearance. The drop down visor works very well. I blocked off the lower 1/3 of the visor area for a sunblock. It has a stop for that position and has come in handy for the blinding winter, low in the sky sun. It is also smaller and lighter than my old nolan helmet. And, I am a huge fan of the ratcheted chin strap connectors. Way better

My friends press was a harbor freight at around $140. It however, came with a ram that was not perpendicular to the platform. He easily fixed the issue but you could take it back. Could probably find used ones cheaper.

When I purchased my 5th gen a few years back, it had a random FI light coming on issue. The seller had taken to a local local reputable shop to determine the issue, but to no avail. I bought it anyway since it didn't cause any real issues with starting or running. After riding it for some time after purchase, I would know when it came on by a very short blurp in power. I would look at the light and it would be on. Turn it off and restart, the light would be off. Experts couldn't figure it out until one day, browsing through the forum here, I came across a possible remedy. It

I feel that inspection of the rear axle and related bearings is an important but commonly overlooked practice. I wanted to do this earlier, but getting into this kind complicated assembly was a little daunting for me, so I put it off. I was in need of a new rear brake rotor install that would require the rear axle to be removed from the bearing block. While everything was out in the open, this was the time to closely inspect the axle/bearings for wear. Bearing removal from block for cleaning and repack also was on the agenda. Examining the cleaned axle, I see that t

how long does it take to do a valve adjustment with that set of tools? 🙂

And the other problem with a bicycle pump small enough to fit under the seat would need 300+? strokes to get rear up to pressure. Very tedious.

I had been packing a CO2 setup in the event a flat tire during my travels. The main problem with that is @ 6 cartridges your rear tire is only at around 25psi, probably enough to make it to a gas station. It works. but not the optimum solution. Yesterday I came across a 12V dynaplug micro air compressor while browsing around. Looked at a few reviews and for $30 at CW it looked like a pretty good solution for dealing with a flat tire. This thing is really small and ends up taking about the same space as the co2 setup. The pump, hose, and cord easily fit under the s

Are there any hard bags with it?
