If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

T-Nation Thread (My 2nd Thread) 3rd Overall (I think)

Hey Derek,

I'm very easy going. I pretty much gave away my luggage rack to a member on here who never even offered to pay for shipping. I thought I was doing a good thing but they never even bothered to offer anything for my time. I'll forgive but won't forget. Just be honest with me and I'll help.

I understand 100%. I have done some buying and trading with other GSR members, but so far so good. I would trade my


box for yours, though I would like to keep the chrome pieces and clamps. Here is my box. You are in Jacksonville?




 
Hey Derek,

I got your PM and replied. That's cool if you're gonna keep the clamps and chrome side covers. I don't believe these have them so its an even exchange.

Thanks for being understanding of my previous transaction. We'll get this done within the month of December. I'm in Jacksonville, FL but I can have you send them to my Delaware address.

Ed
 
Derek,

Almost one week later and the AirBox is finally mailed to you! Let me know when you receive it.


Ed
 
Wonderful Ed! Thank you. And yours is in the mail as well.

Have not had much time to work on my bike with the holidays and the 12 plus inches of snow we have on the ground! Been busy snowblowing!!!

D,
I've got extra chrome as noted in post 16 and 19 and points of discussion in between. Might they work for you?

Picture of the T and my boys as follows. Not much riding of the T this year but we did add a few more ways to play in dirt.
Time to update my signature list.

 
Hey yasser, that's quite the collection!

I'm up late too. Thanks for posting.


Ed
 
If it just looks like a blur of bikes then Mom can't keep count.

Kidding. In fact, here is a fun shot with a few from a weekend with her riding. Some have since been added, some are gone as kids grow. As long as one functions for the Mrs to ride then she's great with our Asian Bike Flu symptoms.

 
^^Dang!

What a tight squeeze!!!

Taking care of the Mrs is the priority. "Well done, get you a case of beer for that one."

Yasser,
Love the bikes. I have always liked the XL line. My Dad had an XLR 500 back in the day and man it was an awesome bike, kick starting it was always fun! LOL
Appreciate the offer on the chrome pieces, but I kept mine....Ed may be interested in them though.


Derek
 
I have the chromes yasser...when I bought my airbox I needed the secondary portion where the air filter goes and it was purchased as a set. But I'll be in contact if I need something...how bout a Master Cylinder and some "T" handlebars?


Ed

No master cylinder. I thought the first thing to get modified on a T was the the handle bars. I always go through a clutch hand strain in the start of the season, due to the angle of the stock bar. Not so bad as to want to change the bar out, just have to ride more to get used to it.

For now all is polished and neatly tucked away.
 
Derek,

Did you pick up your airbox?

I got mine and it is almost like new!

Thanks again and Happy New Year!

Hey yasser,

From the pics I've seen in old mags, the handle bars don't look much different than the ones I have on mine. But they are different from the ones on my second "T". I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

I gave my MC to Tank a couple of years ago...and he was happy with it. I need to replace it eventually.

Ed,
Yes I got the airbox and it looks great! Thanks.
Did not realize it did not come originally with the chrome pieces, so will have to mock-up something when I do the install to make sure the chrome fits good.
But it is perfect and I appreciate ya!

Yeah, the 750 airbox had the chrome covers, the 1100 did not. That's why I wasn't bothered when you mentioned not including them. They look about the same size anyway...

Anyhow, glad I could help!


Ed
 
Just giving this thread a bump. Come on Ed your slipping! I don't have a Tee, never will. Lol But the neighbor kid has a 750T... I've kind of know the kid since he was about 10 years old. I've always waved to him, he'd wave back. I'm not sure if I had any influence on his motorcycle purchase or not. But anyway another GS is in the neighborhood. The motorcycle looks very clean and it seems to run good. I'll have to make my over to chat with him... The T nation thread was on page 5!!! Ed you are really slipping!
 
Hey Norm,

Been very busy at work and lately just browsing. I'm getting ready to leave JAX and head home.
