laser sight.... that's the last year for normal aspiration, yes?

Yes - one more reason I bought it. TO get the carburator.

Both my bikes are the last of their breed - my '98 is the last of the Evo powered ones.

yes, i thought i remembered you telling me that was a reason you wanted it., er, both, i mean, evo and carb. i have nothing againts fuel injection or computers or any of that modern kludge. but not on my bikes. i gues i will always be a strait up rider. if harleys could just corner and lay down well, i would have one. otherwise, disregarding the chuckleheads they attract, i think they are fine. over priced, but you big money guys can deal. (g) even if the 03 tubes were bent, they can be hydralically aligned fairly easily. they even have laser site systems to get them to aerospace tolerances. anyway, when you coming to visit? i can show you some real progress on both sr's and the triumph.

Actually, they said that if the tubes were bent they would just give me a complete new front end because even the ones with chromed sliders come as a full assembly and it would be less labor for them. I've known of folks tha have had forks straightened (lots of dirt riders) but if I can get brand new I'll take it...seeing as it's not my money.

Recovering from the crunch, and the trip south right now...got a be-atch of a head cold at present...that seems to always happen to me on long flights. One of our pilots got the same and couldn't fly for three days down there. I lucked out until I got home.

oh yeah, new on someone else's nickel anytime. ok, get better and think of a visit.

I reccommend Cold-eze; the gluconated zinc suppresses virus reproduction. hth

The Keeper (of too much crap!)

Yeah great stuff...and I even have some.
