I've Done It (I think)
Dick Tym
开云体育As some of you will know recently I have been
considering a more touring style of appliance. Today I rode tested a
ST1300?Pan European. I was offered a really good trade in for my CB1300S
against a brand new Pan complete with a package off accessories worth ?850 for
less than the list price of a standard bike.
Hopefully I will be concluding the deal next
week

write it down in my datebook -- unfortunately, I wrote three different numbers. I think the right one is 35022-0025. I ordered the new and improved model last November and it still hasn't arrived. Last I heard it was backordered to Japan. I'd be anxious to hear how you make out with your order. Cheers, Ray Ford. On 18-Jul-07, at 11:36 PM, bufallobiff wrote:

Thanks for the excellent service, you have just sorted out my birthday present, (69th, thats why my tyres last a long time). Incidentally, I used the other spelling for those over the pond.

Re: NWC - Excelsior Board Track Racer
john gary simpson
When I put my Excelsior on the dyno at Daytona Bike Week's AMI dyno shooout, the crowd started gathering. By the time it whupped every Harley except?a specially prepared tgrailer queen that was built for nothing but dyno shootouts, and?was pushed?pushed from the?trailer onto the dyno, the crowd was screaming.? A year and a set of great cams later, when my Excelsior beat a Hayabusa at Phil Peterson's Miami Harley Davidson Anniversary Dyno shootout, even the dyno guys were aslking me to do additional runs. The Hayabusa had been brought in to embarrass the Harleys. When I beat him, the whole crowd was ready to elect me presidnt.?There's nothing like the sound of a prepared?EH at seven grand. O, I almost forgot, the only thing that will draw a bigger crowd, is four-gear burnouts -? Great way to get rid of old hard rubber when you buy a new tire!
As for board tracking, I didn't even have THAT much nerve when I was a teenager! Jim Hudson wrote:

Yes, the front Venom, or indeed a front Bridgestone BT45 would be fine. There's nothing really wrong with the rear...The BT45 is better, but if you get good mileage, it follows you don't 'ear'ole' it much so the benefits of the rear BT's stick sidewalls would be lost. If the front has developed a 'step' where the centre treads have become raised, you might not want a BT45 on the front as the raised ridge is symptomatic of the dual compound front tyre wearing wrongly due to your riding style ( mine too!). The BT45 might also wear in that way...Although no-one has reported it doing so yet. Jon ----- Original Message -----

Sorry to be tiresome!

I need a new front tyre and have been reading Jon's epistle on the
subject (message no. 126572, 20th April 2007 'Older but not wiser')as well as many others. I have an almost new stock Accolade on the rear, (the way I drive it will last for years), would a stock size Venom go with this? Currently the front is a stock Accolade. Regards Nic A |

Rear Fender redux
I need to replace the rear fender and was wondering if anyone had the
part number for the "new and improved" fender. The bike fell over on the center stand when it sunk in some soft asphalt. It ended up putting a crease on both sides of it. Crash bars saved the tank and everything else. |

front brake. Prepared for the nose dive......not there. Bike just smoothly slowed and into the corner I went. NOW, there will still be some nose dive. But I promise you will not fatague like you are now. I also upped my oil weight to 20 and would possible have gone 30. (I am 6'4" @ 235lbs.) The spacer issue is not that big of a deal. Take the factory spacer and trim it down. Check out my blog at It is about the second or third post from the top. I tried to detail the steps involved. --- In W650riders@..., "spnyi89" <cbh18@...> wrote:
