    Get'n through Denver

    If you are coming from the south after 6 PM or so, it shouldn't be too bad. Saturday or Sunday would be no problem and quicker than a weekday. If you really want to get through the city in a hurry and don't mind paying tolls, you can use E-470. It starts on the south end and dumps you out...

    Tire Repair

    Sticky strings it is! And I just ordered the Slime compressor. That is a sweet looking piece of equipment and has all the accessories with it! A bit pricey, but I tend to go with the good stuff. Thanks to everybody for their input. Quite a thread going here. Again, thanks to all! Steve

    Tire Repair

    National Parks

    If you are on the north side of Yellowstone, you can check out Livingston or Bozeman Montana. On the East side there is Cody, but it may be a little pricey. But there are lots of motels there and you might find a mom and pop that is reasonable. Jackson is an alternative, but it is going to be...

    Nylon Washers

    I will have five available when I receive them. You are welcome to have them. If you need more, PM snikr. I think you need 8 to do all the bolts that go into the painted pieces. PM me with your address if you want my 5. Thanks, Steve

    Nylon Washers

    I got the prototypes that snikr fabricated and they are perfect! Thanks much to him. And also to Garauld for the milk carton idea. They look and fit just like the ones the Stealer gouged me for. Due to a glitch in the USPS, didn't get them right away so Snikr was kind enought to send me ten...

    Nylon Washers

    Just got a PM from snikr and he is sending me some samples of his handiwork. I really appreciate him going out of his way to come up with this solution. I will let everyone know how they work as soon as they arrive. I think they will be just the ticket, Steve

    Nylon Washers

    Hi all, Took off the black plastic pieces to install some FZ-1 mirrors on Saturday. Used the removal instructions from the other forum and they indicated that there should be the thin, nylon washers under the bolts that hold on the painted pieces. There were none under any of those bolts...

    Hey, I'm a true "redneck"...

    I had a couple of "pre cancerous spots on my forehead. Went into the Dr. and she froze them and they have not returned. Painless and quick. Not sure if this applies to your situation.
