Dont really matter, Kenny. I'll go with the flow.
TP, GSP, we may as well flip a coin

You guys forgot the tunnels! they are the most fun.

Youse Joisey Guys figure it out.
I just got off the phone with with Fast Eddy, after a nice
20 min call. I'm getting the Progressive 412's from him.
Does anyone else want a pair while I'm ordering?
Or anything else?

I don't know why some bash these vendors?
Brent E- mailed my right back, and when I just called Eddy,
he answered the phone. But, he made fun of my accent!

Anyhoo, I think I'll get an extra set in case somebody wants 'em.

Uncle Charlie

I'm good on springie things. Fork oil tho...

Fork oil, that's on my list.

Heavier weight too. Kinda interested in that 50/50 blend. Maybe some sort of bucket/beaker to mix it in? I dunno... We'll figure it out! I'm certainly not opposed to an autoparts store run at some point if need be.

charlie
Thanks for the pm, I'll try to make it. Right now I have that weekend off. I need to check in with the missus. If I can come I can bring my tool box and my bike lift. Ill drop it off with the truck and then come back on the bike.
Pm me the cost for the 412s. I might be interested. I had 418s and the fork springs on my intruder it helped some. If the fork springs are still available I might be interested in that too.
capn

Matt's gonna take the fork springs, I ordered an extra set of
the 412's, so you're 1st in line for them.
Uncle Charlie

The 412's are $260/pair

Yeah hands off those springs capn!

Kenny, Willingboro is around TP exit 5. I could meet you anywhere north of that
G

matt
howbout we split them. you take 1 spring and 1 412 and ill take the other. maybe the bike would have amazing handling when turnin one way.. just an idea, not a good idea but an idea none the less. cheers

Charlie,

I will take the extra set of 412's.

Line 6 on the divorse decree.

Question: What caused this marriage to fail ??

Answer: Uncle Charlie

John

he's mean to widows and orphans too

But Daaaaaaddddyyyyyyyyyy Uncle Charlie said I could have them Why is it the kids are the ones who get hurt when the parental figures split up.
No worries, I was actually thinking about lowering the bike an inch or so... Now if the 412 are shorties ...

capn you can have the front springs as I don't think I will use them. So you have at least 1 thing to do to your bike!

Matt

Thanks. Its alright, I need to work on my carbs. I haven't done that yet, so it might be a little slower than normal.

I do have an extra chrome cam cover if anyone wants it (brand new, still in the box, cheap)

I'm about to go pay way too much money for someone to change the oil in it (600mile tune up, gotta keep the waranty valid)

Ill take the chrome valve cover.

Swapping cam covers will be a good time to give people a tour of the valves, don;t need to mess with em, but it;ll be a good orientation.

Sooo anybody got an extra set of 132 jets?
I just looked on Dinqua's carb calculator and with my thundermaster pipes, uni airfilter it says I should run with 132 jets. The carbs are still stock. I get significant backfire decelerating. Any suggestions? I'm going to post this in the carb section too.

Probly needs the screws adjusted...

The 'D' screws?

yup, I got the tool too if you need it.

capn,

I have a set you can have for being a good sport on the 412's, I will be changing my 160's to 155's along with my needles I picked up a set of TBS needles.

John

capn,

Do not feel bad I got boned on the 500 mile oil change to, still p**** me off even after a year when I think of it.

John

Thakns I'll take you up on that. I just got back from Branchvile, $135 to change the oil and for them tell me 'ride it like you stole it.' $60 for the oil and filter and $60 for 45 min of labor... I gotta switch jobs.
I was a little frustrated they told me to come in around 10, when I got there they said come back at 2. So I just had to ride around on some nice back roads up there Granted I didn't have make an appointment until yesterday. The wrench was cool, bs'ed with him for a few minutes, told him about this site and Pat's Carb calculator. Preachin the good word.

Capn, I may have 135's or 130's if needed. why dont you just change your oil at UC's? I'll change it for you
G

Capn,

My boning was for $275.00 oil and filter (Libby's)

Capn, I've also got some jets, have to check the sizes.
You also may want to get bigger pilots, and shims.

Poppy, I found the axle nut cover, It's yours.

Work'n my butt off to get ready for this event,
Uncle Charlie

I already have a list of chores to perform on John's bike

Charlie,

I'm excited as h*** about next week, Benny's right I have him doing the shocks and springs now if I can find someone to do the needles and jets I can sit around and drink and eat all day.

Well, I guess that means you're gonna be the cook and bartender.

You're a good man Charlie.

Thanks

Looks like the weekend is free for us at this point looking for good weather too. Gonna try to make this one since we missed the last one.Meaning the MA get together.

UC,

Looks like we are going to get a break on Sat. partly sunny 75 to 80 chance of shower in the late afternnon.

What time are we starting ?

6 AM SHARP!

He said 8am earlier in the thread... There are ferries on the hour. So I can tell you all I'll be on a 7am boat, but most likely an 8am boat is more realistic. That gets me to CT at 9:15, Mom's place by 10. Sound about right?

I won't be there too early. I doubt I'll make it before 10:30 or 11:00 AM but we will see. Depends on weather I can light a fire under Wendys butt or not.

Guys. Dont forget to take plenty of pics or video of what you do for those of us that cant make it. The ferry I need to get there takes about 6 weeks so I should have left a while ago.
Have fun and learn plenty from each other.
Derek
