    Some of the pictures on page 2 of this thread are gone now too?

    I hope this isn't some of the things to come, as I got included on PM to Dean (coffee) about

    "servers OS is end of life as of March 2017 (cafehusky will still run normally)"

    and how he's "so I am moving my sites to another provider in Feb."

    don't how that will effect things here? will see I guess

    I see two pics starting with the parabolic heater, then another post with six more pics, all from SnoDrtRider. Don't seem to be having any issues. We're there other pics?

    Well, I just check all of my links to the photos and they are good... Just in case something wonky happens here is a direct link to my album on Google Photos.

    Let me know if you can view the photos please. It is a shared album so you should be able to. I have turned off comments and collaboration.

    My 390cr had a brand new older trellborg tenmasters on the rear, a mikuni 38mm carb replaced the tired bing. Plus my 290lb body was n the seat. Instead of the rear tire losing traction I wicked it in sixth gear and the front wheel came up.

    We rode the dam week nights and weekend mornings before the crowd showed up. I pushed that 390cr.

    Scored these last night on E-bay...

    16.5 eye to eye the shocks that were on the bike are 15" hope they work.

    The Ohlins need to be rebuilt but they are period.

    Might be another change in plans... The forecast "late afternoon" rain has now spread to most of the day... May show up in York if the weather is bad for riding...

    I live in an area where there is plenty of farm equipment any NAPA or Equipment repair shop can make hoses that far exceed what is required for shocks.

    Every once in a while I really stick my foot in my mouth. That said, I have to admit when I saw the hoses and the comments about hard to find, I was thinking the same thing. Might not find perfect stock/vintage look, but pressure rating, length, diameter and fitting size. Unless one of those is really odd, someone makes something suitable.

    The average farm tractor hydraulic system operates at 5,000-6,000 psi, heavy equipment at higher pressures than that. I have a local shop that used to make up hoses for Alfa Romeo, Mercedes and Citroen ride height leveling systems for us. I'm pretty sure they can make hoses that handle 185 PSI.
    I have just the hose in mind should I need them... had a NAPA store make a hose up for a UNI bucket lift a few years ago... black nylon outer sheath... slide the old springs over and you wouldn't know the difference.
