Nice crown cover.
I went for indicator mount over thingummyjig. Crown cover definitely has a better ring to it though. :biglaugh:
Nice crown cover.
I just arrived home from a somewhat zany (mostly weather driven...mostly!) trip around the U.P. over the last 3 days.
As promised, not a lot of pictures, since I really dislike stopping just to take picture!
Miles, you may remember the dirt road section of our ride (in the SUV) back from Pictured Rocks on that rainy day when you were here. The road was dry but the chatter bumps treated poor Redbone to a bolt loosening ride for 12 miles! Pictures 5/6 is of National Mine near Negaunee, MI., the scope of the mining operations are mind boggling!
I remember the dirt section , as well as the whole trip (thanks again for the great hospitality). The U.P. has lots to offer for scenery. Those southern Michiganders should plan one of their "hooligan" rides in your territory! Are they afraid to cross that big-ass bridge?:biglaugh:
Cheers!
Swapped out a nasty looking (annoyed me since getting the bike how pitted and bad the lacquer was) indicator mount for something nicer.
R.E. post #9528: Yes to the year, what's the model designation? I bought a 360 Enduro the same year from a MI Yamaha dealer (I still have it). My older brother had a year prior R5 that was a lot of fun to ride, a real wheelie machine! I also had a H1 Kawasaki triple when he had the R5, another wheelie machine.
Well I can't read the size on the side cover but it's either a RD350 or RD250.

Had to put the big window on today, starting to get chilly
I wish i had done a before and after of todays little job. Since buying the bike the downpipes have looked tired, pitted and not good. General washing didnt do a thing to improve the looks. I had figured the exhausts life hanging down there and getting battered by crap off the wheel had seen off their best days.
But today, after deciding to spend some time on cleaning the exhaust up a bit with something more aggressive than soapy water, I found that the pipes are still good. Shining pretty close to a new look. I have no idea what the grimy crud was that was making them look so bad, but it took very little time to get them looking good. I am kind of annoyed at myself that I left it so long before doing it now, but I had convinced myself it would have been a waste of time. Good to be wrong occasionally.
My pool's still 88* F.
I dunno if 'Manchester' is in NH or the UK, or? The pipes cleaned up well.
If you're in the USA, go to HFT (Harbor Freight Tools) and buy a soda blaster, not expensive, and they will make chrome parts look great w/very little work. A bit messy, but the soda does a great job of getting dirt or corrosion in any pitting, out. A compressor is required of course. If you have no pitting, the chrome will emerge looking like you had it on the Baldor machine.

With a 20% off coupon, it should be ~$112 w/tax extra. This is the 40 lb unit, they have a 15 lb. unit for $100 before any discount.
