Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 14:28:50 -0500 Emile; Yes your brain is Millenium Proof, just not English or Cultural Proof! Sorry about that! It's one of those jokes that we take for granted in North America that probably makes no sense outside where you would not have heard the childhood song growing up. I assume you grew up primarily in the Netherlands and would not have been singing traditional English songs from North America at school. As young children in North America, most of us came to know a traditional song that had lines something like this: Knick Knack, Patty wack! Give the Dog a Bone! This old man came Rolling Home! Having heard the song so often as children in Canada and the US, the Kermit joke's punch line rhymes of course and immediately triggers our childhood memories, evoking a laugh from all, except those who have become too jaded or old. I train hundreds of students per year, many of whom have immigrated from all over the world, particularly Europe. We take many expressions for granted that often make no sense to a different culture or someone whose mother tongue is not English. For example we use a little humor in our school's on-screen computer enrolment form: We ask how well they want to learn AutoCAD. One of the answers: "Walk on AutoCAD water!" is never understood by certain ethnic or cultural backgrounds as it is a play on the traditional Christian belief that Jesus was perfect and walked on water. It is always quickly understood with a brief clarification by those who usually are still learning English. The reverse is also true, I do not have the good fortune of speaking any other language fluently, but have often listened with great interest while other common language expressions are "translated" back into English, usually unsuccessfully, sometimes because of the word play that can not translate.

The tower that went down yesterday, causing a one second delay in power transmission (DC) to California, was 30 miles from here; probably a prank. A visitor last night, who works at a credit union, said there would be some minor problem with ATMs here, but possibly no one would be saying anything in advance. The city employees had an all nighter--I think an excuse for a party--and I'll know next week if anything untoward happened.

Hi Emile and others. A good friend of mine is in the airline industry, and she heard that there were all of 10 people at the airport in Los Angeles....

If my PC800's battery gets > down during this winter, would it hurt it to use the SecureStart? > Ron-- It has been done, but I have read authoritative things that say do not use a car battery to jump start a bike. There is some fragile stuff in the Black Box that could get toasted. Per Steve's Battery Tender comment: Secondo came with one screwed to the bottom of the right side cargo bay. Must have been a dealer or very astute owner installation; there are little rubber grommets in the holes the wires pass through and everything is very tidy. When there is a sit time ahead, I just lift the lid, plug in the Tender (It has a very short 110v pigtail on it) and close the lid on a small block (so I don't pinch the cord) and leave the key in the filler hatch. That reminds me to not ride away looking like I own the first really graceful black electric motorcycle with an orange umbilical.

Fenwick" To: Subject: Re: PC800: Portable battery for jump starts / Battery Tender Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 21:05:06 -0600 According to the salesman at my favorite local independent shop, the battery maker Yuasa claims that a battery in excellent condition can still lose up to 3% of its charge every day, especially if there is a continuous draw on the battery (a clock or a radio with memory presets). Hence the need for a Battery Tender or the like. To help me justify the $34.95 that I paid for my Battery Tender, I will sneak it away from my PC and put it on my "show" car to keep its battery in tip top shape. I have noticed that putting the Battery Tender on the car just one day a week (for a full 24 hours) is enough to keep it at a full charge also. I keep one of the battery cables off when it sits to keep any source of drain away. R.

The huge (compared to the PC's) charging output of most automobiles does have the capability to do some damage, but as long as it is just straight off the battery, and you start cranking your motorcycle soon as you hook up, you wont hurt anything.

I am wondering if its possible to play the changer through the tuner on a personal walkman type radio. Anyone have ideas on the feasibility of this endeavor? Also, here in the Chicago area it was an unseasonably warm day, 63. Unfortunately I had already put the PC up for the winter. I could barely contain myself from putting it back on the road. I did have the scoot out yesterday though (elite 150) for a few hours. Is there a real benefit to draining the carbs for seasonal storage. Additionally, how important is it to pour the oil into the carburetor via the spark plug holes. I took the covers off and realized this was more than I was inclined to do at the time. I also realized that low maintenance ( a definite plus for this bike) does not equate to ease of maintenance. This realization was reinforced as I returned the bike and an unused oil filter to the local Honda shop for an oil change. I had reread the owners manual and found out that a special fuel filter wrench was needed. So much for saving a few bucks and getting my hands dirty. Have not shared this with any family members (my wife especially, she is one who truly would not understand), but this list has given me the courage to do so. I too, have dropped my bike with less than a couple of hundred miles on her. I was out on a rural road and going to fast to anticipate a sharp right turn. My attention was focused on the path where I was headed and the gravel I was rapidly approaching. My mind said turn, but straight ahead I went. In the next moment I was straddling a road side ditch and just managed to keep the bike upright. Trying to get the bike out of the ditch proved to be the problem. As I attempted to extricate the bike, she politely fell over. I nervously looked to the right at a farm house (any movement behind the curtains?) and back at the road (certain that the driver who passed was laughing his ass off). Anyway I managed to get the bike upright, twisted the throttle and let her power her way out. Damage was minimal. Scrapes on the lower front guard, the brake pedal was bent in slightly and their were some minor scratches on the mirror. Pretty minor damage for a lesson well learned. Thanks and good night.

Went in the house to answer the phone, the topic of conversation was a long one, too long as a matter of fact. 25 minutes later I remembered that the PC was running, went out to check, and there was a big puddle of antifreeze under the bike, the temperature gauge way in the red,and the tach at 4500 RPM. It was still running and I shut it off. Well the thought that went through my mind was, I JUST MURDERED MY BEST FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!! I walked back in the house, slumped down in my chair, and stared at the wall, thinking WHAT HAVE I DONE?? Well today I had the courage to go to the tool shed to give my best friend the last rights. Touched a few of the controls gently, and thought I would touch the starter button for the last time----and low and behold it STARTED, ran nice and smooth, rev the throtle a few times and it sounded good.

I've used the Alpine and Clarion version of these from years past, and they both have a module which plugs in-line with the FM antenna on your car stereo. This module is basically a low power FM transceiver that can be set to one of two frequencies. You tune your car stereo to whatever frequency you chose, and voila....CD music broadcast to your car stereo at sound quality equal to FM. Since the CD Walkman's don't have external antennas, I don't know how you could get this box to work for a reasonable cost. > >Is there a real benefit to draining the carbs for seasonal storage. Personal opinions are varied on this topic. I feel it's best to keep fuel, conditioned with stabilizer, in the carbs all winter, so the seals and gaskets don't dry out. In the spring I add a can of gum-out to the fuel supply for the first couple of tankfuls to get rid of any fuel varnish in the carbs. >Additionally, how important is it to pour the oil into the carburetor >via the spark plug holes.

The special oil filter wrench is a wrench that fits around the Honda sized oil filter to allow you to get a good grip on it to remove it. Many backyard mechanics simply ram a large flat blade screwdriver through the filter, then twist the filter loose. >Have not shared this with any family members (my wife especially, she is >one who truly would not understand), but this list has given me the >courage to do so.

Given that you were probably panicked, you might not have noticed, but... was the cooling fan running? If not, that would explain the overheating. Even if it was, 4500 rpm standing still just may have been generating more heat than the cooling system could dissipate, even with fan assistance.

No varnish build-up! I believe in squirting oil in the cylinders if the bike won't be run for six months or so. The easiest way to do it on the PC is to remove the two maintenance covers, remove the two side covers (one screw each), remove the back spark plugs on each side using the sparkplug wrench in the tool kit. Remember the PC uses two plugs per cylinder so you don't have to remove both. An easier solution is to simply start the bike once in awhile to coat the cylinder walls with engine oil. To preserve your battery; remember to put a trickle charger (1/2 amp) on it once a week or buy a "Battery Tender" to automatically keep it at full charge. A fully charged battery is less prone to freeze than a discharged one. I bought my oil filter wrench at WalMart for $1.97. It's a black plastic "dish" type that fits perfectly! Changing oil and plugs on the PC takes less than an hour and you can easily do it yourself. I would be more than happy to show you how. You can either ride to my place in Heber Springs, Arkansas or I would be more than willing to take a putt to your place. Don't feel bad about dropping the bike, we all have at one time or another. Thank goodness you are O.K. and the bike damage was minimal. I would recommend that you attend the one of Motorcycle Safety Foundation's classes to reenforce good riding practices.

It seems that the brainiacs that run our network system's efforts to avoid major Y2K related problems have bred a real problem. They cleaned up our servers over the weekend by deleting files and backing up to tape. They were going to save them on tape off line. Most of the non-critical files were reloaded this morning. Now they can't find the tape backup of the files we really need! This was after they told us to use the network as the main data file server and that anything on the network would be sure to be there today. No kidding, what a joke. Only its not a joke. I do hope they find the tape. Otherwise our office will have a day or two of updating 1 week old backup files.

The archives revealed the following directions: From: "Waldo E. Meeks" Date: Wed, 29 Nov 1995 06:46:06 -0600 "I was not satisfied with the gauge reading empty when I had plenty of gas left. I adjusted (bent) the fuel gauge sending unit arm so that when it reaches empty I know I have about ½ gallon left. Anyone wanting details of the process I will be glad to supply. Process is really very simple." Fuel gauge sender adjustment (My Way). 1. Bike on center stand with block under front wheel to make bike as level as possible. 2. Remove left and right side covers. 3. Drain all gasoline out of the tank. Put back in exactly ½ gallon. 4. Remove sending unit from tank (right side). It has an O-ring seal so will reseal with no problem. (The gasoline will be below the level of the hole) 5. Bend sending unit float arm downward (curve) quiet a bit actually. (This will be trial and error.(You may also have to have a slight backward bent to avoid float hitting slope of tank. You will see this when you look inside the tank. 6. Put sending unit back in and turn on the ignition key. Wait until gauge stops moving. It should read right at the beginning of the empty mark (red square)(to the right side of this mark) 7. If it reads too low bend the rod some more. If it read too high bent the rod back some. I have tested this several times by trying to refill the tank as close to the indicated mark on the gauge as possible (touching the empty mark) and each time I have put in 3.7 -3.8 gallons which gives me approximately ½ gallon reserve. I usually fill up when the gauge reads around 1/8 just to be safe. At least I know about how much fuel I have left. I hope this helps. Ride safe. Waldo I modified the above as follows: 1. Ride the bike until the fuel gauge measures as low as you can stand. 2. Place the bike on the side stand. 3. Remove only the right side cover to reveal the fuel sending unit located on the right side of the fuel tank. 4. Remove the four 10mm nuts holding the sending unit on and slide the sending unit out 1". No fuel spilled out because the bike was leaning on the side stand. Since the sending unit is only moved 1", there is no need to disconnect from the wiring harness. 5. Siphon all the fuel out of the tank via the sending unit hole. Easy because the remaining fuel is sloshed to the "low side". 6. Inspect inside bottom of tank for rust and foreign objects. Insure the fuel screen is intact. 7. Place bike on center stand and level bike by placing blocks under the front tire. I used a carpenter's level on the seat to make sure but a glass of water or beverage of your choice, would work just as well. 8. Turn the ignition ON and bend the fuel float rod on the sending unit down until the gauge reads just to the left of the red zone (or wherever you prefer) with the sending unit reinstalled. Mark the rod at your "bend point" so you will adjust it at the same place every time (saves lots of readjustment time). 9. IMPORTANT STEP! Before bolting the plastic back on, start the bike and rev it to 4,000 rpm for 3 minutes to ensure the gauge reading is where you want it on EMPTY. On my bike, there was a slight difference due to the increased voltage (My summation). Readjust float rod as necessary. There's enough fuel in the lines to accomplish this step without adding more gas to the tank. 10. Bolt everything back together and put ½ gallon of fuel in tank. 11. Start the bike and rev it to 4,000 rpm for 3 minutes and make a mental note of where the gauge reads when you have ½ gallon in tank. Mine read one needle width in the red zone. 12. Now confirm your adjustments. Place your spare fuel can in trunk and go for a ride until you run out of gas. Mine sputtered to a stop one needle width to the left of the red zone. NOTE: WalMart sells a 1 gallon plastic fuel can for $1.92 that fits great in the trunk. RESULTS: The bike now will run out of gas at the end of the red zone (like it should) and instead of "being in the red" and nervous at 150 miles, the gauge now reads a comforting 1/4 tank. It's only a mental thing, but the bike "seems" to have a longer range now. To double check my work, I just had to go on a short 300 mile putt through the Ozarks following Arkansas Scenic Highway 7 from Hot Springs Northward. Couldn't believe it was 68 degrees in January! Only got wet for a few hours but the mink oil applied to my leathers kept me dry and warm. Nah-nah de nah- na to all you folks in the "frosty country". I must have had a great time in the twisties because I blew a front fork seal. Alright! Back to wrenching! Ride like your life depends on it!

An easier solution is to simply start the bike once in awhile >to coat the cylinder walls with engine oil. I agree with all that Chuck said except this. By merely starting the bike once in a while (and not riding it) you will actually hurt it more than help it. This technique, in fact, achieves the opposite effect that Chuck wants. When an engine is cold there are two things to be considered in this scenario: You need a rich mixture (lots of fuel) and the piston rings are contracted, not sealing the bores as well as they should. So, in essence, you are washing fuel down the cylinders, cleaning any residual oil that might have been there, and also diluting the oil in the crankcase with raw fuel. You are also forcing moisture (from the combustion process) which will also contaminate the oil and corrode any parts that are not coated with oil. The easiest way that I have found to oil the cylinders is with a small oil can that has a trigger pump and a long nozzle. The PC might require that you also attach a small length of oil resistant tubing to the tip of the nozzle. Maybe 5 bucks at your local hardware store. I fill it with two-stroke oil (since it is designed to burn in a combustion chamber) and shoot three squirts in each cylinder and "crank" the engine a few times by spinning the rear wheel with the transmission in gear. It is easy to do when you have the spark plugs out. This technique _will_ coat the cylinders and piston rings. Oh, and careful when you remove the spark plugs. The PC is well protected, but you might have some dirt/debris that could fall into the plug hole if you do not blow it/vacuum it out before removing the plugs. Here is where a sho vac or an air compressor comes in handy. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- Visit the PC800 web page at To unsubscribe from the list, send "unsubscribe pc800" in the body of a message to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu.

My heart goes out to you. Alas, it seems that your once wonderful machine is indeed ruined. Yes, I see no reason to "beat around the bush" as they say. Your bike has had the worst possible thing happen to it: the dreaded Outrageously High Super Heated Internal Temperature malady (O.H.S.H.I.T.). When this happens, the bike is but a few hours away from a catastrophic total engine explosion. Despite the fact that the machine started and ran well later, irreversible damage has been done. I urge you not to ride the motorcycle again. This is especially important if you are happily married and you and your mate are considering having children. You see, when the engine suddenly "lets go" it sends out the largest pieces of shrapnel in the area between the first six inches of the drivers seat. An associate of mine, an aspiring actor in the adult film community, had this very thing happen to him. It seems that he was enjoying a quiet and serene ride when suddenly without warning, the engine suddenly and violently blew up. A huge and ragged piece of aluminum and steel ripped through the Pacific Coast's seat and tore between his legs. Although his thighs were ripped, his femoral arteries were missed. Grimly however, other parts of him were not. His career as the next John Holmes was at that gruesome moment, cut short. Very short. After several agonizing months in the hospital he was finally discharged. He did manage to get a few parts in a couple of low budget western movies as the bowlegged cowboy, but because his voice had became somewhat falsetto, he never had a speaking role. The last that I heard of him he had gone to Vienna to try out for the Boy's Choir. I beseech you Verlis, do not ride the bike ever again. I say this only for your own well being. And of course, you must not sell the bike to anyone else lest the same thing that happened to "Shorty" would happen to them as well. But all is not lost! No indeed! I also happen to have a 95 PC800, and would be most happy to take your ruined bike off your hands. I could possibly make use of some of the parts off the bike in the future, and will even be kind enough to give you say, $500 for your trouble. Please respond as soon as is convenient.

Rocky from Fairfax, Jim from Fredericksburg, and I met at the Sign of the Whale restaurant, among about 220 other bikes who showed up for the incredibly warm January 1 we had (50-55 deg. F). We also saw Janet from Dumfries, and met another rider named Ed, but I don't think he's on the list. Jim showed his new radio installation - an ordinary Sony radio in the trunk, and the Sony control head mounted to the left fairing. VERY nice. Rocky had his new Givi bag - holds 2 full-face helmets! Ed had added a number of red, white & blue reflective stripes to his bike, a red flashing bicyclist's light to the left handlebar, a headlight modulator, and Saeng windshield edging to the windshield 'handlebar cutouts' to take some wind off his hands. By the time we got sorted out, it was just Jim and I, so we rode with some other friends. Jim cut out early, having a 40-mile ride home and planning only a morning ride anyway. I continued on, but the ride got a lot worse after Jim left - for some reason the the route organizers took us down mile after mile of 4 & 5 lane industrial and shopping mall roads. I can understand not heading way off into the country for a Polar Bear ride, but these are not the kind of roads I ride voluntarily! Oh well, the company was good.

Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 10:14:13 -0800 Gordon, Didn't see that you got a reply to this on the list, so ...... The accessory connector is under the seat on the right side of the bike, by the starter relay (above the battery). It is a white 4 pin shell with only 3 wires, Red which is continuous +12v, Blu/Blk which is switched +12v and Grn which is ground. It usually has a transparent dust cover on it. The connector on the left side of the bike, with the black plug in it, is the diode module that is used in the kickstand/bike runs logic. Several people on the list have reported that when using the red wire, they get a lot of electrical whine in their radio's when the cooling fan is on. Since you have the original Honda radio, you should not have the problem. Did you also get the mounting brackets and the external 20W amplifier for the speakers? The last time I looked at the wiring harness diagram for the factory radio, it indicated that there was a connector to use for helmet speakers, but I don't know if anyone had this connected.

This sounds like it could develop into a Pacific Coast Progressive Road Tour where you pick up fellow Coasters to travel with you as you make your way from AL to NS and back again. These Coaster encounters along the way can promote serious friendships that can endure for years if you are not careful. Just ask the Coasters who went to the Honda HomeComing last year (http://www.ekho.com/elton/images/HONDA_HOMECOMING1.html) about the life altering affect it had on them. By the way, if you would like a waystation in the Central New York area I have two bedrooms with double beds. WARNING... I may mooch some shared road time with you if the timing is right.

In Ron's defense, I'll say that yes, the online maintenance and repair database is great. However, there are still many places that do not have web access, or charge enough money for it to make the portable log a good choice. In fact, once a trip is over you can "download" the log info into the database, making the PC Dbase much more valuable.

Hi Mike. Along with all the great info you have already received, make sure to plan a stop in Lake George, NY during the Americade week from June 5-10. I'll be there, with at least another half dozen PC riders. It's worth a look, but I would recommend that you book a hotel NOW and then cancel if it turns out you don't need it.

Here is a site in the UK that gives a good picture of all the choices: http://www.calamander.com/luggage/baglux/baglux.htm These are quite pricey in the US and the only time I ever saw them was at last year's New York City motorcycle show (www.toyota.com/events/f_events.html). The local BMW dealer in NYC carries them. I can probably still find his card if you are interested.

An ASSOCIATE! Weeellllll now. You been holden out on us Russ. My
dictionary defines an "associate" as "one who is connected with another,
as in some business, interest, or position; a partner; colleague". So
would we recognize you from any of your, ahem "art" films?

I have used the 26 Expandable with removable side bags on the PC without too much problem. The handlebars do touch it in a full lock, but that does not occur in nomal riding.

This is one option that can be attached by PSA to the stock windshield that will help to deflect wind over your head. You can get them at most cycle shops. I am 6' and this seems to work well.

Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2000 18:59:46 -0000 Last night the temperature must have got down to about -5C. This morning, when I was taking No.1 son (Tomas 8) to school on the PC, all was fine and sunny on the main roads, but when we got outside the city and onto the last stretch down a sheltered and shaded back lane, we found the ice. There is a 90 degree left hand bed at the bottom of a dip. We were going fairly slowly, about 15 - 20 mph around the bend, and the whole plot went sideways. Tomas and I hit the deck and Obelix went sliding up the hill on his left hand side fairing protector, foot peg, side stand, centre stand and trunk protector. The road was so icy that I had trouble standing up. We were not hurt in the crash, but I have a rick in my back (in the normal place for me) from picking the bike back up. (Full leathers and boots for me) (School trousers, shoes and coat for Tomas. I know, I know, no need for a lecture, but this was an emergency, his mother and brother were both off sick). Now comes the (next) crunch. I need a LHS fairing protector tupperware bit. The part number is 64215-MR5-000ZA in (I think Ocean Grey). I can source this part in the UK but it will cost £45 (about$72) inc tax and postage. The same supplier can source the part from the USA with a 25% reduction. Can anybody Stateside get me a price for obtaining and shipping to the UK the above part please? ALSO, as a consequence of the impact, the neg. wire fell of the voltage regulator. I discovered this after reaching college (motorcyle repair course today!). Obelix would not start after the lunchtime pub run. A push got it going and a bit of elementary fault finding found the wire off. BUT the charging system is now only running at 12.6v max and 5 amps. This is well down. However this was also the case after I put in my adapted CX500 stator(see november 99). After a good run all the numbers were OK. I will check it again tomorrow after a 60 mile run out to the Honda Owners Club tonight and a night on the charger. Ride safe.

The road was so icy that I had trouble standing up. Glad you're basically okay. It's amazing how fast those things can happen, and at such slow speeds. My tipover like that was when pulling up to gas pumps in the rain. The path looked fine, I was going all of 5mph, and it had been raining all day so I expected the pavement would be washed clean. However ... this was downhill of the gas tanks' filling ports, and it was incredibly slippery. I went down in a flash, and the bike (non-PC) slid about 10 ft. I could barely stand, and had great trouble righting the bike because my feet kept slipping out from under me. My Aerostich made it a non-event for my body, and the bike suffered only a new scratch on the engine guard and a broken turn signal. I reported it to the station manager, and asked him to beware of spills.

I have never heard of other bag manufacturers (except for Neill) doing that for us. When the bag is removed you have a nice clean look to your bike, especially if you get a color matched model, without straps and buckles hanging off the tank. IMHO- It was well worth the expensive price, but not being a tankbag person I'm not in the market for one. For the home handy person it might be worth investing in just the tank cover rather than trying to custom make a "bra" for the PC800's tank.

WD-40 has no effect on any type of automotive paint, though it will soften and possiblily strip wax from the surface, which is what may have been happening. In fact some detailers have been known to wash a complete car down with WD-40 prior to re-waxing. About the only thing you should stay away from is Clear Polycarbonate (windsheild) and polystyrene as they may stress craze or crack in contact with WD-40.

Honda unfortunately did not clear coat all Pacific Coast model years. The '96 and later were not clear coated. The '90 was, and I am not sure of the '89 or the "black" years. I have a '96 and stopped waxing mine, since a lot of red comes off. I switched to the Honda spray can bike cleaner and use that since it doesn't take any of the red off.

I bought the wax at the first Honda HomeComing I went to that year in Marysville, Ohio. It is a liquid wax that does not remove any paint and it buffs off easily with no white residue or greasy feeling. The pinstripers that did my bike recommended it. I think it's a bit overpriced, but worth it. There is also the added advantage over an aerosol can of being able to pour some into a smaller container for traveling if you want. I just use my Brillianize (just like their #33, but only $3.20 for 8 ozs. instead of $11 for 16 ozs.) instead for cleaning and dust removal when I travel and leave the waxing for home. I bought their full line of products, but #3 & #4 are the only ones I have bought more of again. The #4 is good for the black lowers on my 98 (unpainted) and the sidewalls of my tires (of course not the treads). #4 is kind of like Armor-All but gives a much better finish. I loathe an Armor-All finish on anything and this gives a nice factory new finish to the black plastic.

The tape is made to go between a camper shell and the bed of a truck. I placed a square in each corner. As far as the lid being loose from the overstuffing, you may need to just replace the latch part. There is just one screw holding it in place. You might could try taking that screw out and moving the latch down a hair and drilling a totally new hole for the screw. Check to make sure the hook part of the latch at the top is not broken while you have the screw out. Also check the hook part on the lid to make sure it isn't broken also. Rotsa ruck.

I've been riding for about 1-1/2 years now, and all the features I've learned to want are listed in the Pacific Coast ad brochure: close to "standard" seating position, general versatility (what other motorcycle can you take grocery shopping?), sporty handling, long-distance comfort, and of course the trunk. Also, I'm far enough off the beaten path to actually like how it looks. I'm actively looking for PC riders in the Triangle area (NC), so that I can finally see one close up (or even beg a ride), and sort of looking for a well-maintained late model to buy. The one thing that concerns me is that I might be too short for it. I'm 5'4" and don't quite fit on the CB650, but if the PC turns out to be as perfect for me as I suspect, I'll look into modifications if necessary.

I latched this to my own situation and what I do in the winter with the time I normally devote to all aspects of riding during the warmer seasons. Quite different, of course. And I realized that it would be interesting to know what others do with their similar layup time, exclusive of bike maintenance and repair. Here's my idea: Send me the color and year of your PC, your "day" job, and then the activity that mostly fills your leisure hours during seasons you can't ride. When I get, oh, 15 or 20 contributions I will scramble the lists and post three columns: bike, job, layup activity. Then on any long winter night (Ron Grant may make his entry in six months) you can try to get the three that go together, together. Naturally this information will not leave my control. I trust my cleaning lady, who is a man, who is me. If this sounds like good idleness that's still enough PC related to keep me in the list's good graces, contribute when you get a chance.

I've never made a bike trip that long, and I am a little concerned about it. I haven't noticed this on any of the trips I've made on two wheels, but I tend to get kinda bored and tired on long car drives. Fact is, I've established a three hour duration limit for those, as anything over that leads to a dangerously unaware me, plowing along the road, wheel locked in a death grip. I've been thinking that my portable CD player would be nice, although I tend to enjoy the sounds of the road, and a radio of some sort- although I am not sure how to rig it up best for my own tastes.

I too like a few tunes on solo longer rides. I have a CB radio on my bike, but get tired of the trucker talk quickly. I bought a portable am/fm cassette walkman type radio from Radio Shack a couple of years ago. I then mounted four one inch diameter suction cups to a 6"x8" piece of clear plastic. I mounted this on top of the dummy gas tank. Then I stuck a strip of velcro to that and a corresponding strip to the back of the walkman. The radio that I bought has 5 presets and station search- a nice thing to have while traveling. I mounted a 12v to 3v converter out of sight on the bike and ran the power cord to the walkman so I dont have to carry extra batteries with me just for the radio. I use the "bud" type of earphones under my helmet and it works amazingly well. I never crank the unit to full power, but get a clear full sound all the time with no electrical noise coming from the engine ever. I dont use it all the time, but I sure like to have it along for the longer rides. I also have a 8"x10" zip lock baggie that I keep with me in case of a rain. I simply stuff the radio into the bag, zip it shut with just the cords sticking out, and keep right on going.

Fill it with with gas, get on, hang on, and go. The bike is so reliable that if you have recently changed your oil, and checked your tires, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I'm not sure how far you are from the Hoot, but list members have driven incredible distances on PC800's. Ideas of what to take: tool kit, first aid kit, fresh water, map, Gold Card. On a long trip I like to map out the trip ahead of time, then have the map visible when you drive. I use the Neil Thompson glovebox, and I have a small map pocket on the tankbag of my chatterbox CB. Before I had either one of these, I would write basic info on a piece of duct tape that I would put in my line of sight, with just the highway numbers listed. i.e. 417East-15south-30east-12north. This is much better than pulling over. > >I've been thinking that my portable CD player would be nice, although I tend >to enjoy the sounds of the road, and a radio of some sort- although I am not >sure how to rig it up best for my own tastes. I use the Chatterbox CB, which has an audio in jack for a Walkman, Discman, Cassette player, whatever. As you ride along, the music is heard in your helmet. If you are transmitting or receiving a CB signal, then the music is automatically muted. It's great to have music when travelling, and I like the CB for communicating with other riders. If you are travelling alone, the CB can be a handy resource to speak with truckers who can advise of road conditions, accidents, etc. along your journey. I am going to try to make the Hoot this year as well, and it is 1,000 miles from my place! Take care...and hope to see you there! fsl :-) *** Top 10 Reasons to Procrastinate *** 1.

Just get on the bike, use your body weight to lurch it forward and it comes right off, straight and true. BTW, be sure it is in neutral or the sudden stop can cause unstableness. Thomas > 1.

WD-40 will not effect Factory or Professionally applied automotive paints of any kind. Primers or spray can paints (which I doubt anyone with an ST or PC would use) can be picked up on a rag so shouldn't be used on these. Other then this the only thing we could see is exactly what you guessed, that the WD-40 while stripping the wax picked up anything contained within it. So go ahead and use WD-40 on your bike, I use it on my 99 ST and sure wouldn't recommend it if I didn't feel it was safe. Claude Chris Norloff wrote: > > Hi, Claude.

Be sure to have both sides (legs) of the centerstand rest squarely on the pavement before applying much downward pressure to the centerstand lug. I use my left hand to balance the bike. I use my right to "lift" the bike while strongly pressing down on the lug. With timing and practice the bike will almost spring onto the stand. At least it does when I get It right.

Seasons keep some of us from getting into ruts and routines that we'd do day in and day out if the weather was always the same, day after day after day... Keeps us creative and sharp. It also gives us more reasons (excuses???) to buy MORE toys, such as snowmobiles and 4 wheel drive pickups... I have been riding the last 2 days (in January, in Illinois...) Winter isn't slowing me down too terribly much. I rode all last weekend and then some. Planning on riding to work a couple days this coming week. So far this month, I have ridden 5 of the 9 days. As far as using the center stand - My salesman showed me how to get the PC up on/down off of it the easiest.... He also owns a '90 PC. As far as the Motorcycle show... I'm going to the Chicago "stop" next month. I will be identifiable by my '90 PC shirt or '90 PC sweatshirt and '90 PC hat. Now that alone should be quite unique.

The left hand is good only for keeping the front wheel straight, which is only necessary if you're in a tight spot. Dismounting, on the other hand, should only be done while you're ON the bike. That seems like the only safe way to control it. Otherwise it could tip over with the momentum of coming off the stand, and in the worst case it could fall back onto you (or that new Mercedes parked beside it).

After having had Blue stripped all the way down to metal, and slowly getting her pieced back together, yesterday I put the final touches on her. I installed the passenger backrest I got from Charles Sheets, and the Clearview +5 windscreen and Saeng edging from STA. I had the bike warming up as I was stripping the last shreds of protective polymer film off the new windshield. I donned my brand new Joe Rocket Ballistic pants, jacket, and Rhino boots (Christmas presents!), and helmet and gloves, too. We had relatively mild temperatures in the 40's here with bright blue skies for most of the day, however, we also had south winds registering in the 40's, too. By mid-afternoon, the overnight rainfall had all dried off of the roads. I just wanted to do a little shakedown cruise to make sure that I had all the bolts and plastic fastened tight. I straddle-walked Blue out between the cars parked in my driveway, adjusted the mirrors, checked the gauges and traffic, and with a little trepidation, slipped it into gear and headed out onto the street. Having not ridden for over a month, I was conciously reviewing the lessons I had learned in my MSF course this past Autumn. I motored north a couple of miles until I encountered Washington State Route 509 which runs between Seattle and Tacoma along the edge of the Puget Sound. High on the bluffs above Poverty Bay (an ironic name because the houses overlooking this Bay are each worth many hundreds of thousands of dollars), I headed west. Because I was on the lee side of the hills, the wind was not much of a problem, until I came to a bridge over a north-south draw at Dash Point State Park, and I was suddenly hit with a 40 mph crosswind. Blue wobbled a bit, but she stayed true to course with only a slight elevation of my adrenaline level. As I passed through the hamlet of Dash Point, I caught sight of the main channel of the Puget Sound - whitecaps on 5 foot waves graced the normally quiescent waters and showed the true strength of the wind. The two-lane road was nothing but curves as it followed the shoreline. Turning south, I shortly came up behind a SOFIAH* in a Cadillac traveling at 25 where the speed limit was 40. Approaching the burg of Brown's Point, I came upon a clear, 200-yard long straight stretch in the road. A light twist of the right grip, and I was around the Caddy in a flash - and still not exceeding the speed limit (well, not by much anyway). As I came around the corner by the Cliff House restaurant, I caught sight of the city of Tacoma across Commencement Bay. The steam and smoke from the stacks of the factories on the industrial waterfront were flowing horizontally. Headed east, I was now on the windward side of the hills. There was a fair amount of turbulence from eddy currents, so I kept the speed down. I was beginning to notice that even though my Ballistic coat was very heavy-duty, it wasn't all that warm - I'll have to remember to keep the liner in it in the future and wear something a little heavier than a tee-shirt under it. I cruised along the Hylebos Waterway into the town of Fife. There, I turned north onto US 99 (Pacific Highway - yeah!). As I was now traveling downwind, it was almost like I was sitting still, for there was almost no wind pressure. I could easily have rocketed up the road, because there was hardly any traffic on this rural four-lane highway on this Sunday afternoon, but I kept it to 55 mph. Entering Federal Way, I turned off onto the side streets and headed for home. I put Blue back into the garage and stripped off my riding gear. I had gone 20 miles in about a half an hour - a good test and Blue came back without anything hanging or dripping. About the only problem I noted was that the rear brake needs to be tightened up. I found that the Clearview +5 windscreen is excellent - it is much more clear and it flexes much less than the tall Hondaline windscreen. I think that the CV+5 is a couple of inches shorter than the tall Honda. With the CV+5 and Saeng edging, too, I noticed that my helmet was in far less turbulence than before. Unfortunately, the Saeng edging cuts across my field-of-view and creates a blind spot on the road about fifty feet ahead of me. I don't like that, but maybe I'll get used to it. If I dip my head down below the top of the windscreen, I can then see the whole road, but that is awkward. It wasn't a marathon by any means, but it was a fun ride. Hopefully, I will now be spending time riding on Blue rather than fixing damage inflicted by previous owners. If you made it this far, then thanks for paying attention to my little story.

I also prefer the aircraft heim joint coupler over the automotive ball and shroud setup. The heim joint has no play in it, so you don't get the jerking between trailer and tow vehicle when accelerating and decelerating in stop and go traffic like the ball and shroud coupler can give you.

If it doesn't fit in the back or in the tankbag, it won't be part of my universe while I'm gone. Therefore, trailers have not been of any interest to me. Until now. I have realized that this is all foolish justification. If I didn't want "stuff", I wouldn't collect it. Since it is my "stuff", then I should be free to bring it with me and have it when I need it. The reason I don't use a trailer is that I am afraid of something behind me, following that close. I think this can be resolved, and I am off to the drawing table. I'll need to good back halves of PCs. I'll connect the two back wheels with a single axle, which unfortunately will have to travel through the inside cargo bay. A small cost of development. The taillight assemblies will be replaced with headlights from these new sedan type cars that have long horizontal headlights. The cool blue kind, maybe. This new two wheel setup will face forward. I am putting the trailer in front, don't you see? It will be connected to the front wheel and will ride like bogey wheels on a cement truck. I haven't worked out the steering part yet, but I have a rough idea. If the two wheels can move up and down independently, and the axle has two u-joints in it, they should be able to lean, parallel and independently, into a turn, initiated by the front wheel. Where the PC body is whacked off, about the seat, will nest well with the sides of the fairing. Chuck can help me ease that in. In my mind it seems attractive and functional and it won't tip over ever. "Put the cargo in front." It's a wheelbarrow kind of concept. This is a difficult strain of the flu. There is no real medication for it, but I think I need some anyway.

Well, even the ST models don't have the same diameter. The '96 models have bigger forks. Which indeed makes you mistaken.

It's not too bad. I took more time than I should have, but that's normal. It should be possible to do the entire project in an hour, although 2 hours is more reasonable. Materials (less than $10): 5 feet, 14 gauge stranded copper wire 1 fuse block (I used an automotive unit from Radio Shack, so it takes the same blade fuses as are used on the rest of the bike) 1 automotive relay 5 1/4" spade connectors, 1 ring connector 2 feet 1/8" ID vinyl tubing Misc. heat shrink tubing The right side access panel and the windshield have to be removed. Per instructions, I wired the fuseblock to the hot terminal of the battery, then made a spade connection from the other side of the fuse block to the 14 gauge wire, which runs along the frame and existing wiring harnesses to the headlight area. The vinyl tubing is used to provide chafe protection where the wire runs past metal edges. The high beam lead can be backed out from the headlight connector, and the standard wire can be replaced with a short length of heavier wire. The relay gets 4 connections: * Ground connection to frame * Hot wire from battery * High beam wire from the light switch * High beam wire to the bulb Without a light meter, I can't swear there is a measurable difference, but the high beam now looks significantly whiter to me than the low beam; I rode after dark yesterday, and high beam lighting seems much better than I remember. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Selden Deemer Atlanta, Georgia EMAIL: libssd@emory.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Visit the PC800 web page at To unsubscribe from the list, send "unsubscribe pc800" in the body of a message to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu.

About ten. I began to feel guilty for marking two exclamation marks as an error each time the infraction occurred. But even more interesting to me is the windshield on the PC. Is one required to get this type shield when one is pulling a trailer? Oh, and the idea of the white trailer "enhancing the look" of my black Pacific Coast thrills me. Reminds me of the ol' Pacifico and Vetter fairings that appeared in oddly matched color combinations on the aftermarket stewpot roadbikes of the seventies. Ah, enough criticism.

Get a reading with the stock wiring, then switch the wires and get a reading with the hotshot wiring -- preferably with the engine running. This way only one variable is changed. Measuring the light output of different bulbs might be dicier, because there could be changes in focus/light pattern. AND, the following caveat from Daniel Stern's wonderful lighting site ( http://lighting.mbz.org/faq/ ) re running higher wattage bulbs: What about higher-wattage bulbs for my DOT-spec headlamps? One word: DON'T! If your headlamps have plastic lenses and/or plastic reflector housings, you mustn't use overwattage bulbs, as this can create serious fire hazards and cause extensive (and expensive) damage to the headlamp assemblies and wiring in short order. Even if your headlamps use glass lenses and metal reflector housings, you still can't safely use these bulbs because the wiring in DOT-spec headlamp systems is not capable of handling the level of current these bulbs will draw. If you disregard this and do it anyhow, you create several serious fire hazards in the engine compartment and, more worrisome, in the passenger compartment at the headlamp switch. This problem could be circumvented with the installation of an extra-heavy-duty relay and heavy wiring, but the wiring is only as robust as its highest-resistance section; the 9004/HB1, 9005/HB3, 9006/HB4, and 9007/HB5 bulbs used in DOT-spec headlamp systems all have extremely small electrical contacts. Go ahead and have a look; they're really spindly! These contacts get extremely hot even under normal (45 to 65 watt) loads. They get dangerously hot under higher (80w, 100w, etc.) loads. When you go much above 65 watts, these contacts become the point of maximum resistance. Things start melting and burning, and due to the voltage drop involved with such resistance, you will not achieve any improvement in your headlamps' ability to light-up the night. No reputable bulb manufacturer makes these overwattage DOT bulbs for that reason. So... I think I'll leave things alone, with a Hella Xenon H4 bulb and high capacity wire on a relay.

Name: Irene Frost Location: Portland, Oregon Email: Irene.Frost@hotbot.com PC Model year (if you have one): 94 Bought Used/New: Used Modifications made to bike: I have added a CB radio and wiring for Gerbing electrics. A little more about myself. I have been riding for about a year and a half. My first bike was a Honda CX500. It was too top heavy for me and I dropped it about 3 times in the driveway, etc. Then I bought a 500 Shadow that I loved a whole bunch, but after putting about 11,000 miles on it, I needed something bigger so I bought a 700 Shadow. I rode my 700 Shadow in a parade one day and saw a really beautiful PC. It was two-toned black and gray with blue, purple and teal pinstriping. I told my husband that if I had seen that bike before I bought my 700 I would have purchased it instead. My husband and I decided that our dream bikes were then ST1100s until I saw the size of the engine and decided that the perfect bike for me would have to be a Pacific Coast instead. Then....my husband's Magna lost its transmission so I loaned him my Shadow and he dropped it! I was picking up parts for my Shadow to get it back on the road and saw the very same PC that I had seen in the parade for sale at the dealer's. Well.. what could I do. The two of us were down to one bike, and I was NOT riding on the back of MY bike. There for sale was not only a really cool PC, but the exact one I wanted. Now it is mine :-). The very next day I ran into the previous owner and she told me why she sold it and who owned it before. It was fate. I ride my PC to work almost every day, and tell people it is the "perfect personal transportation device". The last time I went to the dealer, I couldn't find any other bike that I liked as well as mine since mine does every thing as well as I need it to. The only possible exception to that is dirt riding. I used to think I needed 5 bikes - tourer, sport, cruiser, rat and dirt. Now I have the first three in one. The reason I wanted a rat bike was I was tired of how hard it was to clean the cruiser after it rained. PC took care of that! Dirt riding can wait. So I know I am preaching to the choir, but wanted to share about how much I like my bike. I do want to add the handle bar mod, my elbows ache after about 50 miles. I also will be getting one of the handle bar bags. See you out there...

Take a look at: > http://www.hiperform.com/blowout_stock.htm I have no financial interest in this, just passing on some information on a good deal. Last year I bought a pair of Alpinestars "Stars" street boots from this guy. They're not heavy-duty combat boots, but they've proven to be the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever owned. I treated them with waterproofing compounds, and they have held up well in light rain, although they really haven't been subjected to any downpours. With the plastic vent tabs removed, the ventilation in summer is quite good. They are 12" high, and the plastic armor on the front helps prevent shin barks from PC footpegs. They also have some reflective strips on the back to show up at night The only catch is that his existing stock of this boot is limited to White/Gray, with a bright yellow heel piece. If you can stand the colors, or would think of dying them, two pairs of boots for $55 (plus shipping) is an unbeatable deal. I normally wear a size 8.5 shoe, and found size 42 to be a good fit; 41 was too tight. He has other styles for sale, but in very restricted sizes, and I have no first hand experience with them.

Ron, for what it is worth: Joannie Pennick, a former (still?) PC rider had that happen to her. She was lucky and was able to stop in a straight line. Don't want to think what might happen if you are at full tilt in a corner. The removal of all the necessary tupperware is, IMHO, a small price to pay for the peace of mind, if nothing else. On things as critical as that, I do it "by the book". YMMV.

I think I remember finding in the PC800 archives some messages about someone who discovered that the insulation on his wiring harness was toast after runing a 55/100 bulb for some time. Also, if the logic in Daniel Stern's warning is correct: "...due to the voltage drop involved with such resistance, you will not achieve any improvement in your headlamps' ability to light-up the night...." you may not be getting much (or any) extra illumination from the 55/100 bulb you are now using. The interesting question seems to be: if you remove the restriction of the wiring by running a high capacity circuit from the battery through a relay, will the plastic headlight assembly withstand the greater heat output from the 100 watt high beam when it's fed a full dose of current? Given the price of Honda replacement parts, it's a question I'd prefer not to answer experimentally. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Selden Deemer Atlanta, Georgia EMAIL: libssd@emory.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Visit the PC800 web page at To unsubscribe from the list, send "unsubscribe pc800" in the body of a message to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu.

It was a little brighter than original equipment and I was happy. Last night on the way home the low beam died. It died in an the I-95/395/495 Springfield Interchange construction zone, at 65 MPH; the only part of the trip with no streetlights. The high beam was so bright that everyone was "flashing" me. I got angry looks from cars in front of me as well. It was safer to just keep it off and follow the car in front. I got home and reinstalled the original equipment, still working, Honda bulb (fortunatly I am a pack rat). I'm going to go get me an extra, original equipment bulb.

It was a little brighter than original equipment and I was happy. Last night during rush hour on the way home the low beam died. It died in the I-95/395/495 Springfield Interchange construction zone, at 65 MPH; the only part of the trip with no streetlights. The high beam was so bright that everyone was "flashing" me. I got angry looks from cars in front of me as well. It was safer to just keep it off and follow the car in front. I got home and reinstalled the original equipment, still working, Honda bulb (fortunately I am a pack rat). I'm going to go get me an extra, original equipment bulb. Headlight bulbs should last for more than one year. That's enough experimentation for me. One note: I had forgotten that changing this bulb is a real pain in the lower posterior. The Honda service manual is a JOKE! (I didn't have access to the e-mail archives because wife was on the computer type "PC") But I remembered from the archives (and the last time) that taking off the windshield is a complete waste of time. So I was left with Honda's cryptic "remove bulb retainer and remove bulb" (see page 18-8). I started this job by thinking "I remember the wire retainer thingie, it was fairly easy to pop off the last time". But 30 minutes later I'm cursing at it: "STUPID MANUAL, NO KIDDING I GOTTA GET THE WIRE OFF, LIKE HOW DOES THE STUPID ^%$#@ WIRE COME OFF?!!!!! Between swearing and cursing and after 45 minutes of pushing and pulling, the wire retainer popped off when I pushed down and to the side on it. I then repeated this motion several times and wrote down what I did in my manual. Why did Honda make this so difficult? It takes less time to replace all the headlight bulbs on both my cars than this. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- Visit the PC800 web page at To unsubscribe from the list, send "unsubscribe pc800" in the body of a message to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu.

A week after I installed the brighter bulb in my bike, a woman rolled through a stopsign at night, tee-boned me, broke 2000$Cdn worth of plastic and scuffed some skin and cracked a rib. She said she hadn't seen me. When I checked later, the fuse was blown on the headlight bulb. I live in the city and it's possible that I hadn't noticed it was blown out -- it was only a block after leaving my house. Two days after I installed it on my partner's '89, the stator and voltage regulator failed, 330$Cdn. A week after that I noticed that his headlight wasn't on at all, the fuse had blown.

That's one reason I have always ridden during the daytime with my high beam on (makes me more visible too), so hopefully that one would burn out before my low beam and not cause the blinding problem. I do it now also because my modulator only works with the high beam. I also carry a spare bulb in the trunk which I can change even in the dark:-) Tim Davies Seneca Falls, New York 13148 '98 Pacific Coast-"Yankee Smuggler" AMA #688662 HSTA #8387 HRCA #HM100878 "The ride is the objective, the destination is the excuse!" -- Visit the PC800 web page at To unsubscribe from the list, send "unsubscribe pc800" in the body of a message to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu.

If I understand correctly how these things work, fuses or bulbs tend to fail upon initial "startup." That is, when power is first fed to them. If this is correct, and assuming your accident did not cause a power surge, this no-light situation can be avoided by a safety check at the start of every ride. My wife and I try to do it before every ride, at least before the first ride of the day. We start our bikes and with the engine running we check all of the lights, among other things. Food for thought.

It does cause a voltage drop, my case is 0.4 volt after I WD40, brush and then blow dry the bulb holder contacts. The vd varies due to different conductivities but the extra illumination is obvious no matter the contact is cleaned or not. Now the 55/100 bulb had been replaced by a PIAA plasma white 55/60. It is WAY of expensive (approx. US$70, sold in pairs) but it is bright and white. As for the heat generated from the head light bulb, I never had any trouble. BTW, what the lesson I learnt from headlight bulbs is a $5 55/60 H4 does differ from a $20 55/60 H4, they draw the same current doesn't mean they produce the same brightness. The hi beam of my PIAA 55/60 is brighter than my previous Orient 55/100. - Philips Wong Constable, Hong Kong Auxiliary Police (riding officer of course) Colonial Special Constabulary Medal - 1997 GWRRA # 101177, Wing & PC rider 1984 Aspencade, 1995 SE Candy Red, 1990 PC800 Candy Red 1994 CBX750 Police Edition, 1977 CB550 Vice chairman, Safe Rider (HK) Association The lizard guy - breeder and proud owner of 23 Chinese Water Dragons ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- Visit the PC800 web page at To unsubscribe from the list, send "unsubscribe pc800" in the body of a message to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu.

The subject tells, I saw few boxes of such expensive toys last week, tagged US$650 per set of 2. Even they're much cheaper than other brand names existed on retail market, still expensive I considered. The manufacturer is PHILIPS, in OEM packing, I thknk this is why the price is lowered. Each set come with 2 seperated sets of invertor/transformer and HID bulb, plus harness with H4 plug and socket for direct plugging-in. So the cost for upgrading a single headlight bike is $325. And you have to note that all HID lights are single brightness, ie no hi/lo beam. That's why HID equipped autos are having seperated hi/lo headlights. For bikes, you'll need to readjust the headlight aim, and you'll need another driving light in case of foggy.

I have a standard PC800 windshield that goes to the best offer I get in the next four days, ending Midnight on Sunday 16 January. It has one week of use (until the tall windshield I ordered came in.) It is for a 1996 Pacific Coast. It should fit later models as well. The standard windshield is an awkward height. Many (like me) go to the tall, and others cut down the standard. A very few find that the standard windshield fits them. I also have a slightly scuffed top section of trunk (rear upper fenders/trunk). This is NOT new, and is in fact a little scuffed. It is 1996 red. If I get bids too low to cover shipping and my trouble of going to UPS, I will simply go to the dump. But, if any of you are looking for such items, I need to get rid of them prior to moving. Where did I get this stuff? I used to own a 1996 PC800 that I totaled (two years ago in January), and these are parts I had replaced prior to that fateful day. I suffered a small invisible bruise on one of my knuckles but was otherwise unscathed in the totaling of the PC. I now ride a BMW R1100RT. (Because the ST100 was too wide, too heavy, too long a reach to the handlebars, and perhaps even too tall. And I wanted ABS.) I like my RT as much as I liked my PC800. I like the ABS the best of all. PLEASE RESPOND TO ME DIRECTLY I AM NOT ON THE LIST. My address is vierhel@attglobal.net Try to put PC800 in the subject line so I don't miss your bid. (I get quite a bit of e-mail) Thanks.

If you plan to run a heavy gauge wire from the battery to a relay, make sure that you leave plenty of slack at the headlight end, AND mount the relay securely. I didn't, and had a problem last night with a loose contact. The disadvantage of using a relay is that it adds another component that could fail (the relay) and 5 more connection points (4 to the relay itself, plus the connection betweeen fuse block and the high capacity wire). Same goes for running a pair of horns or running lights off a relay. 2. I deliberately wired only the high beam through the relay, because that's where I want the added power, but also so that if either the high beam filament or the relay fails, the low beam has a good chance of still working. That said, a spare bulb (and relay) should be part of anybody's onboard tool kit (although I've never had to replace a headlight bulb in lots of long distance riding since 1964). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Selden Deemer Atlanta, Georgia EMAIL: libssd@emory.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Visit the PC800 web page at To unsubscribe from the list, send "unsubscribe pc800" in the body of a message to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu.

The US system's intelligence was unreadable for 3h and degraded for three days. That was despite the fact that $3.6 billion was poured into the Pentagon's 18-month intensive Y2K compliance programme. A small stretch of the imagination about what might have happened without this effort, given the power of the US war machine, could give rise to some fearsome nightmares.

Yes, I have used my Widder electric gloves in the rain, and you know what? After 30 minutes or so, they got soaked and did not heat anymore. After they dried out a day or two they were as good as new and remain so to this day. To prevent this from ever happening again to me, I bought a xx large pair of rubber gloves from a janitorial supply house. I pull the rubber gloves over the Widders if it looks like its going to rain. The rubber gloves have some sort of "grippy" surface on the palms and fingers so holding on to the grips is no problem.

Check this first. In very cold weather mine is hard to pull up when I've got gloves on. When its really cold (below 15 degrees F) I sometimes have to roll on the throttle as I press the starter. Be careful about flooding the engine. But the starting procedure in very cold weather (below 40) is only slightly different, you have to have some warm up period after it starts -- you let out the choke and blip the throttle for 30 seconds or so after starting. Mine is so reliable (no trouble down to 0 degrees F so far) I'd have to go looking at the owners manual if I had trouble. If you are riding during the winter you may want to go to a hotter spark plug. Look in the service manual, I believe a hotter plug is recomended for very cold winter riding. But why are you bothering? You've got it rigged up for long term cold weather storage and it sounds like your not using it every day like us crazy winter riders. I'd just wait until the weather warms up a bit (above 40) and leave it on the battery tender. >From: "Michael D.

If it's really cold you might wanna try no choke and full throttle while cranking. Don't know if it works but it was a good procedure to start up the Piper Chieftain on cold days. The open carbs will make the cold cylinders turn more easily. I've had the problem of cranking no firing on the PC and ST last year when both batteries where at the end of their lives (charged every day because I ride every day, but still they die..PC batt was around 9 years old, the ST's about 7 years).

I just hate to keep cranking the starter like that. -My first recommendation would be to *not* let the starter turn over for long periods. Stop it after every 10 seconds or so, wait a few seconds, then try again. -Make sure the choke is fully open. - Make sure the Kill switch is in the RUN position. - consider removing the headlight fuse. Not having the headlight on will give you a longer 'trial period' before it gets too low to start successfully. - If you are not riding it, leave it on the Tender and wait till it warms up a bit. - If you really need to get it started, pull out a plug and spray a very small amount of two-stroke oil in the cylinders. In colder weather the engine won't turn over as quick and will be harder to start. If it doesn't start, unburned fuel in the cylinders has rinsed the oil off the piston walls. Spraying a bit of oil in there may 'speed things up'. Good luck.... fsl :-) *** Top 10 Reasons to Procrastinate *** 1.

Just in case, this is how: Henry, To subscribe to the list, send "subscribe pc800" (without " ") in the body (not the subject line) of a message to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu. Then you'll get a confirmation message back which you have to reply to by leaving all the text in there except the authorization code. The PC800 seating position is very upright yet comfortable. For a lot of people (mostly Americans strangely enough) this is very nice. I wanted a more ergonomical position and bought a ST which has the handlebars more forward and lower. The PC's handlebars are relatively high yet for some people (small people) they are not even high enough. I'm 6'3" and I was almost leaning backwards on the PC. It made slouching my back very easy but fortunately did not give me any troubles on my trips to the Vosges and Norway ( http://emile.itgo.com/pc800.html ). If you are small, like an upright seating position and still find the handlebars to low you can get several solutions to rise the bars like for example the GenMar handlebar risers you can see on http://go.to/pc800 If you're a tall guy like me the position is still very comfortable as long as you pay attention to your back posture to prevent back problems. Of course the only way to find out is to try it, right ?

When I took my mate to collect his new ST we went for about 100 miles on A & B roads (non-highway) in the wet, with full kit on. We must have weighed in at at least 440 Lbs. The PC handled superbly, like on rails. Went just as fast as usual, i.e upto 100mph and felt great. In my exp. all jap bikes are given a silly little weight allowance.

My wife and I together weigh in at close to 450 lbs. We have carried a full load in the trunk for hours at high speed and on twisties. Keep the tires fully inflated and the preload at max. Remember that you are in tour bike mode when doing this -- don't expect to stop on a dime and be careful about "over-scraping" the pegs.

I noticed some list traffic about Bob, Jim and Ralph attending the MC show this weekend in St. Louis. I assume that you are all going on Saturday as Sunday will be a real zoo. Why, you ask? Because the Rams messed everyone up by not only getting into the playoffs but doing well enough to play at home in the Dome (which is adjacent to the Convention center where the MC show will be held). If you are planning to attend, my personal recommendation would be to go Saturday as parking will be impossible Sunday. On the flip side, if you choose to go on Sunday after the Rams game starts (11:25 kickoff), you may well be the only one at the show! Hope to see some of you there on Saturday. I'll be easy to spot, I'll be dressed in black :-} Mark Gilb St. Louis, Mo. 95 PC800 -- Visit the PC800 web page at To unsubscribe from the list, send "unsubscribe pc800" in the body of a message to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu.

Just make sure your tire pressure's are correct and the rear shock adjusted properly. I weigh in at about 250 lbs and ride with the shock set one notch down from the stiffest position. With one of my daughters aboard who weighs about 120 lbs. I don't make any changes. With either of my other daughters who weigh about 160 to 170 lbs. after having kids, I set the shock up to the stiffest position and life is beautiful.
