NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I have noticed a few prewired pigtails behind the blanks to the left of my steering wheel but I have no idea what they are for.

I didn't see downhill assist in mine either (2008). It shouldn't really matter the location of the switch since you can change the position of the switches.

 

I am sure there are more knowledgeable people then myself that would know that kind of stuff. Everybody seems to be recommending different things and it really depends on the type of bike. (cruiser/street, mode, year, etc.)

Mine is an old water cooled shaft drive v-twin. They only made this model for 1 year so it makes it difficult to get info on. (V-twin shops tell me to go to a street shop since its a Honda, street shops tell me to go to a v-twin shop). I lowered my rear, which some people disagree with on shaft drives but mechanics say they are made to work at different angles.

As of right now I just wanted to get the bike running and cleaned up a bit. The frame has a bit of rust on it and the engine could probably use a rebuild. I have been considering tearing into it this winter.

In the end I have so much want and much less time/money.

 

True, I just don't have a switch for it and he does, same '12+ tacos.

 

2005-2008 didn't have DAC, ATRAC or a few other things. 2009 started offering some of those features. We also have switches below the radio.

 

that's in 2wd with an open rear diff.

 

Downhill assist I would think wouldn't be so useful in a manual. Not 100% sure! but I think the way it operates is by keeping the transmission in gear so you end up getting compression braking from the motor. In a manual, it is the same thing as putting it in gear and letting the clutch pedal out.

rctoy, too bad for that truck sucks ford exhaust

 

sucks ford exhaust

 

Drove out to Lake Cle Elum with my girl and our dogs to meet AWilson013, his wife and dog for a one night camping trip. Weather was perfect and the company was good. No wheeling, just a day at the lake with some beer, food and relaxation. Saw JDAM on the side of 90 with his friend on our wait out, game him a honk! Sounds like you guys had a good time.

On the beach:



At Camp:



Dogs tuckered from swimming for 3 hours straight:

 

Looks awesome Joe! Are you not allowed to camp on the beach?

 

We were on the side of the freeway because my friends soft top on his 4-Runner ripped off and came flying right at me! I heard that honking and knew it was you right away. My friends soft top can be repaired, it just ripped down one of the seams.

 

Nah its day use only. We stayed in a campground just a mile or so away.

 

I'm still trying to come to grips with my scratches that run the length of the truck, about 20-25 of them, 4 of them being into the base coat

 

buff and wax my friend

Wish someone made something like this for our trucks

Welcome to offroad in the pnw

 

scratches are the last thing on my mind now.

 

you can probably just drive over the bushes haha

 

It's the trees that do the scratching, I won't take the truck anywhere that will cause dents or undercarriage damage, I depend on this truck to get me around, and I like her to still look good.

 

Same with me. Come up to Gallagher Head lake next month with me and you will have to try to put a scratch on your truck. Pretty easy but good trail
