Fred, If I remember correctly from your story, there was a picnic table under a shelter. Since the weather was nice, you should have slept on the table....
I'll second the motion for Por-15. This stuff is great. If the tank doesn't drain completely you may have to let it dry alot longer because the Por-15 will be...
Ripper, I haven't had to play with any of the other tanks, but the issue with the CB450T tank is _drying_ it before putting the POR-15 coating in. The CB450T...
When I did my tank , I stuck a garden hose in it and let it flush for a few hours, to remove ANY traces of fuel. Then I treated it with the rust melting acid,...
Agreed. When camping, I only use a tent if it's raining (or likely to rain) or if there is an abundance of biting insects, or if it's really cold. Other than...
Great story. I like how you pack, and as I am of below-average weight, I don't expect I would have your tent woes. One thing, though- as I recall, the Salton...
From Columbia Univ. press encyclopedia: Salton Sea (sôl't?n) , saline lake, 370 sq mi (958 sq km), northern part of the Imperial Valley, SE Calif.; 232 ft (71...
Yup, I thought of that too. That's a drag racing trick to lower the front end, all you do is raise the fork tubes in the triple-trees, that's the cheap and...
There are some really nice websites about the Salton Sea. It is a very mis-understood and misaligned place with lots of mis-conceptions about it such as...
Does it lurch when you put it in gear? (You're starting it in neutral, right? And using the clutch?) If so, it's the clutch failing to disengage. I'd...
Hey Fred, Sorry your trip didn't go so well. Thanks for the report though. I'm going to try and do some camping there later this spring when I find some...
Actually I consider the trip a success. It's just that I don't have the desire anymore to "rough it". If the tent I took was bigger it would of been much more...
So I went to change the brake lines tonight and while taking the lines off I see a lot of gunk on the screws and inside the old lines. The right side caliper...
Eesh, yeah, not exactly what you'd call "good brakes". You should be able to (maybe just barely) shove the piston in with thumb pressure, with them drained and...
It could be electrical also. My daughter had a bike that the kickstand switch was bad, and did the same thing. ... From: honda_nighthawk@yahoogroups.com ...
Does your model have the neutral safety switch on the side stand? Some models have a switch where the side stand pivots attaches to the frame, this switch cuts...
Hi, I have been with you guys/gals for about 2 years now and you have helped me out with a lot of things - thank you. I'm getting ready to buy tires for my...
My exhaust system is about done. Scottish winters have taken their toll. What replacement systems are available and are they road legal for the UK?. I prefer...
Thank You for the advise. David ... for a few hours, to remove ANY traces of fuel. Then I treated it with the rust melting acid, and made a dryer out of a hair...
The '84 does not have a sidestand switch. That's not to say the problem couldn't be electrical. We have to wait for an answer to the lurching question. -Reid...
Best all-in prices on a pair of tires are almost always at swmototires.com. The date of manufacture of a tire is a 3-digit number molded into the sidewall....
I'll ask the obvious: (may have been asked already, get the digest version, have an off-line viewer that truncates after the first 100 lines, too lazy & too ...
A two or three man tent would help a lot, also they have air mattresses that ar like that seat pad you had, that just inflate from the atmosphere and roll up...
I do have a Therm-a-rest pad Tom, like the one you described. It is invaluable for such occassions. And it rolls up small; nice for packing! A bigger tent is...
When I got my Nighthawk ('84 750) the previous owner had used cbody filler to patch the holes in the tank and it eventually soaked through and started to leak....
