I agree.... OUCH!! Glad he seems to be ok.

Nice looking tanks. Sorry for the bum transaction.

Thank you.

Ron

Congrats, and WELCOME BACK.

They cancelled the Phoenix show 2 or 3 years ago.

In the long run, the bike would be cheaper.....

Resend of the first 2 pix. Hopefully you can click to zoom like the last 2...

Thanks. Ron in AZ

Yes, I have a set. They are recent take-offs, in excellent condition, color matched to a '76 LTD. They come with plumbing, brackets, etc. The PO claimed they hold 1.5 gallons per side, but I can't say for sure. He had transferred the LTD side cover emblems to these, but he secured them with clear si...

Regarding Lombard Street, there was just an item on the news saying that due to complaints from residents, SF is considering imposing a fee to go down it, and possibly a permit process. Seeing as how there are garages and driveways right among those maximum hairpin turns, and the fact that visitor t...

True. I wonder how many "big" bikes have tumbled there.

The street you're thinking of in SF is Lombard St.

Welcome to the asylum from the Phoenix area, and congrats on your new scoot. It looks like you have a stock windshield. I had that same impression when I first bought mine new in '95. It wasn't long before I bought a taller windshield and have never looked back. As you're well aware, these have fant...

Frank Lloyd Wright? ?

I have a '76 LTD with air forks, but would like to go back to stock. I need the 'bolts', washers and rubber caps, and also the stock springs, because the bike had a large fairing with appropriate heavy duty springs, and I am now using a National Cycle windshield when not running 'bare bones'. Thanks...

GaryRatliff (and others): The ride from the Gettysburg area up along PA 34 at least through Newport, PA is a real nice ride. Rode it many times while stationed at Carlisle Barracks back in '69-70.

Sounds like fun. Looks like a lot of you are staying in Room 1. Hope it's plenty big! :twisted: Seriously, though, that whole area in NW Ill, SW WI and Eastern Iowa is beautiful. My Mom's family is from Hanover, Il, just down the road a piece, towards Savanna. I will be back in Michigan around that ...

Using Google Maps, you can see what appears to be the western terminus of Old Hwy 80, just east of where it intersects with CA Hwy 79, west of Guatay, CA. It then goes east from there, although chasing it is like 'following' old Route 66. I think the plank section in that article is closer to Yuma, ...

Back in the 70s in Michigan, my buddy had a home made sidecar on his BMW, and he rode back and forth to work (40 miles each way) year round. He even went so far as to mount a CB so he could listen to the truckers talking about that idiot on the bike in a blizzard. He loved breaking in and saying som...

Wow. Thanks.

I wonder if he/they are willing to share his/their happy pills.

Looks like the Apache Trail..

Just curious; what is the price? I couldn't find it in the ad..

And no lifts were injured in these incidents!

My impression, based on your pics, is that your proposed solution seems reasonable, as long as you don't compromise the lower welds. I would suggest trying to double-up on the upper hose clamps on the effected bracket tabs.

Or find different safety bars.

Rear speakers did not come standard on your bike, so 'missing' wires should not be cause for concern. Honda offered a kit as an option, but I don't know if they're still available. The aftermarket still sells them, and they typically come with speakers, plug and play wiring, and a fader switch. Ron ...
