  1. I'd check eBay - a CB750 wiring harness shouldn't be terrible - they have new and cafe style, if I remember correctly. I've torn down numerous old Hondas and the wiring is usually pretty brittle. Add the heat of a fire, and you won't be soldering into the best material. That said, there isn't a lot to them and a lot of times there are multiple junctions in the harness. You may be able to replace sections, junction to junction, with no soldering at all.
  2. Flooded? I know (and this is completely different, I realize that) our small displacement Nissans had trouble flooding, especially when the temperature was cold. I hate to take the wrath of the more knowledgeable MC techs here, but have you tried starting it with the throttle open?
  3. Nice truck! And kudos for listening to folks on this site and not buying a junk-ass Colorado...
  4. About like that ex-girlfriend from high school. Everything's sagging and at least a dozen guys have ridden her since you said goodbye. Cherish the memories, if you saw her now, you'd be sick.
  5. TireRack has some good setups on their website. If your car is already equipped with TPMS, you can get another set of monitors and just program them when you swap your wheels out. If not, you have to get a complete system with a monitor that looks kind of like a GPS you mount in the car somewhere. I looked into this on my wife's car before we got her new one that came with TPMS installed.
  6. I've used Buckeye Muffler and thought their prices were fair. I used the one on Karl - kind of in the ghetto, but oh well.
  7. Payne's Pizza is good - almost everything is on 95. The Shovel downtown is a good greasy spoon.
  8. Welcome to OR! I always apologize to everyone I meet from Fostoria. I work for the railroad and probably make your life pretty miserable fairly frequently...
  9. So... when you died, everything transferred?
  10. This. Go over there with a wad of money, come back with a wad of AR15. Don't try to understand it.
  11. When I was at Nissan, we used Ziebart to do our tint work - the one on Henderson maybe? Always did good work.
  12. I don't need your help with temptation, Ben.
  13. Man... this is one of the more tempting bikes I've seen in a long time. After taxes come back, I may not be able to resist.
  14. I recently loaded Ubuntu on my netbook I carry with me for the hotels. It boots three times faster than Windows, runs faster, and is a fully functional computer. Everything that worked in in Windows, works in Ubuntu. It was absolutely free and runs Chromium (Chrome on Linux). I'd recommend spending $50 on a Craigslist netbook or even laptop and Ubuntuing it up. My netbook is over two years old and wan't particularly fast when I bought it.
  15. Yeah, the one above had clearly been in a fender bender - good work getting a better one. Great little trucks!
  16. Probably - I had this issue with my 98 VTR.
  17. Kind of a follow up to this picture - here's the story: http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/world-s-worst-tattoo-is-fixed-182335990.html We've all seen this tattoo - I'm sure it's posted at least five times in this very thread. I guess this guy lives in Ohio, had the original tattoo done in BG, then the cover up done in Akron. Cover up looks spectacular and the artist gave it to him for free. I say anyone in AK wanting ink work, this artist deserves a nod for being a stand-up dude. And the last anecdote here... I don't remember the name of the place for sure, but I think the place in BG is where I got my first tattoo back in '98 (Googled the address and it is in the same strip). Wow. Just glad they did a better job on mine than on his...
  18. I would recommend looking further - $8k is a lot of money and that sounds like a shitty deal. Even if you insist on a Canyon/Colorado (which I recommend against), $8k should go a heck of a lot farther than that. I'm biased of course, but the Frontier is a great truck - the early 2000s models are pretty bulletproof, just have a timing belt to keep track of maintaining. Stay away from supercharged without good maintenance history. Those trucks were the last VG engine in production (the first introduced in the 80s) so they had the bugs pretty well worked out. The newer ones with the 4.0l engine are absolute hosses. If I was to buy a truck with $8k, I'd track one down. If you do get one, PM me and I'll go over the modifications you need to do to make it last forever. If I didn't have my Nissan bias, I'd be on a Tacoma like white on rice. I think they look better, I just know the Nissan inside and out.
