I have an outline of the adapter in the shop. Will post it this eve. Flat, 1/4” steel

Yes. they used the hangers from the 94-99 1100 Sport, with an extra flat bracket used to get the correct angle. I can give more detail when I get back home this evening. I had a set of those and they were the same as came with the Ti kit.

Small air compressors.

That looks really good E. Your review makes it even better. A brief look over at Thumper Talk shows a lot of fans of the Slime pumps -
Small air compressors.
footgoose replied to activpop's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
Oh Ok. I use air compressors professionally and they have a collecting tank. I've always called those little ones electric air pumps, or tire inflators. I've never owned one. I'll bet the Enduro guys have some trick ones, as they often deflate tires for off road and reinflate for the road home. -

I have two sill in service Emglo portable compressors. Purchased in the late 80's. Seems they are no longer made under that name. Built heavy and work great. I wouldn't fear looking for a used one. I bought a couple of cheap Fini compressors awhile back. The one for my girl to fill her tires still works. The other one failed early. Some additional info, may be helpful. https://www.portlandcompressor.com/compressor/Jenny/ -

there will be classic music.. -
Looks as though the various parts aren't expensive. You might have to be the guy that takes a shot at figuring out a different route. Worse that could happen is you're out a few bucks and a few hours, and then come back and tell Phil he was correct. Honestly. I'd be tempted if my stock petcock didn't work so well.

there are enough to make me swap it out. another unfortunate the pics are gone from this post. I believe this one was the one that blew out the bell housing part of the engine case. If you saw this photo you would be convinced. It may have been reproduced in another thread. Search more, it goes waaay back. Exploding clutch, exploding flywheel, etc another

There are at least 2 cases of flywheel failure documented on this forum. I don't have them archived or I'd link them. They can be found if you dig deep enough. Proof enough to make me swap my clutch and flywheel, as many others have done. If yours didn't fracture, you had good fortune. I hope it lasts. Mine didn't fail in 11,500 mi. from new, nor was it cracked when I removed it. Not everyone's shift selector spring broke either, but my personal preference was to swap it out and not be constantly wondering how much time is left before I'm stranded, or worse. All (or most) 2002 engine cases had the paint problem. The factory offered a fix but I didn't bother. When I swapped the clutch, I stripped and painted the motor.

Sad to hear it. Any shareable info? Obit? He was a wild man on here for a while.

Body Armor, you wear it or wear it not?
footgoose replied to p6x's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
My first 30 years of riding I wore t shirt, jeans, gloves and boots. No helmet. Sometimes no shirt, sometimes shorts. I adjusted for cooler weather of course. Then I started thinking. Now I'm Most of the Gear, Most of the time. Always helmet, boots, gloves, jacket, sometimes armor, better boots, or better armor. I adjust for heat of course. I don't think I'd ever wear the heavy duty stuff that guy says he always wears.. And yes- a bit of cheap armor is better than no armor. Would I rather drop & slide wearing shorts, or jeans? He does make some interesting points, but in the end he is a monetized you-tuber and must create content to make it rain. -
I didn't know of this one but just watched it. It's a lot of Steve, but also Bud. The development of the Metisse is at the core.
