Thanks OC. MC didn't have one, neither does HitchDoc for that matter. Wikco has one for 339 delivered, but their part number looks like one I saw somewhere else (???) The price on the Uni-Go is sweet, but they hit you up for $50 in freight. I saw that custom one in my search, also, and have...

CRAP! Oh well, it's a fair market afterall. I snoozed, so I losed. Thanks. Anyone else want to help me spend less than $350 for a decent hitch?

I guess I'm out. I was going to offer $250 OTD. Thanks anyway. ::EDIT:: Having a tough time passing this up. $250 it is and shipping to OC. Will use my work UPS account and see if that helps. Will send PM also.

Seems to me the inertia of a mass of liquid would be harder to move around quickly than the mass of a small ceramic bead. Also, depending on the liquid, you'd have to consider the possibility of deteriorating the rubber of the tire and/or the wheel hub. That's part of the explanation of how...

Yes, but going to use it for shotgun transport as well. For those unfamiliar, see www.drivelikeapro.com

Have had a set for a few thousand miles with good results, but here in So Cal, the ozone in the air seems to have caused them to deteriorate? Anyway, they're sticky and compressed now and will be coming off this weekend. The replacement will be neoprene grip covers purchased through Parts...

Hmmm...thinking it over...

That would have been the thinking man's way, Carver. I should have run the Shinkos without any weight and then added the beads for a more direct before/after comparison. As it was, I was so ready to get off those RoadFarts that any tire set was going to feel better, so I just wanted to get it...

I know...really. I'm not proud, believe me.

So the place where I work now recently announced that we're now selling Dyna Beads. I thought, "oh great, now we're into adult novelties?", but deided to look into it. It's a wheel balancing product consisting of various sized bags of ceramic beads. No wheel weights, just add the beads either...

Am currently looking at the Uni-Go hitch, but would love to spend less if anyone has one they're ready to part with at a reasonable (read cheap) price. I don't plan on pulling a trailer, but need somewhere to mount my Auto Linx case. Thanks.

Thanks Carver. Where's his shop going to be?

Thanks all for the support. Rsvl - I really wouldn't mind being behind the counter again. Sure the $$ would be disproportionate, but it would beat the unemployment checks (maybe?). Far West - Might just have to fid the time to ride up there and at least check it out. I haven't seen the...

My how quickly and severely things can change. I find my self among the other 10% of California residents who are out of work. I would appreciate any leads any of you could offer. A little about me: Went to MMI in Phoenix in '94~'95 and did all of the metric programs they had there at the...

Well, Dunlop has said that the tire hasn't changed at all since its inception. By reading the posts here, I can deduse that the wear phenomenon is not abnormal. And if the tire hasn't changed, it's reasonable to assume that they'll wear the same way again. Net result is I'll ride these until...

Have you run the old stuff through a hydrometer to compare SG to a new 50/50 mix?

I still really want a locking option. Has no one but Corbin made up a seatbase-based locking container to replace the passenger seat?

"And since nobody's died (yet), no harm, no foul right?" That's not really the case. It doesn't take someone's death to make them pay attention, but they will listen to $$$. Dealer price on that part times warranty claims = money spent. Unfortunately, with the relatively low volume of FJRs...

I have the same phenomenon with mine. An e-mail exchange with Dunlop and some conversation with the local dealer might get me some new skins, but I won't put them back on if they haven't changed the tire any.

Hate to be so late to join this, but things have been rough. Clearly my troubles pale in comparison to his family's. Celebrate his memory and he'll live on in all of us. No more words, just a reminder that nothing is permanent, and that we should all enjoy each day as if it were the last...
