    Eeek Guns!

    Is that a modified Saiga 12? I have one in 7.62 X 39 with modifications.

    No Start, No electrical power

    I don't know how different your 06 is to my 02, but mine has (2) relays under the left side cover. Over the years I've replaced both of them at least twice due to electrical / starting issues. One of the relays ties into the starter system and the replacement is a GP Sorensen # MR78 which can be...

    Rennetec Engine Guards (opinions)

    I have a set of these on my "02" and there's a couple of negatives in my opinion. Yes they look clunky but I think they still look better than the Hepco & Becker. The bars make it a tad more difficult changing the oil because it gets in the way of the filler opening. The bar is also in the way...

    Eeek Guns!

    Dandy...they use an air reservoir usually in the stock. On some like the Sheridan and Crossman one pumps the forearm on the stock which is attached to a piston of the reservoir. On others (especially European Mfg) the barrell pivots on the stock like a lever to pump up a reservoir. Those are...

    Eeek Guns!

    I have an old Sheridan in .20 Cal with a rifled brass barrell that's bad-ass. I think they can still be bought for around $100 - $125. Also check out Benjamin's which I believe are identical (I think both companies merged a while back). One pump is sufficient in most cases. At the max 7 pumps...

    A question for the Texas riders

    I can't add more to what's been said already. The Hill Country around Austin is consistently rated some of the best Bike riding area in Texas. However, as someone already stated you won't be too far from the Big Bend Area (Davis Mountains and Alpine). See if you can rustle up a copy of "Ride...

    Eeek Guns!

    If you want an original AK and don't mind spending a couple of hours doing some minor (legal) modifications check on a SAIGA 7.62. They are manufactured at the Izhmash factory where all the Russian AK's are manufactured for the Military. They're about $300 and are made of original AK parts and...

    Thermos Cup Gauge Pod Mod Update

    Try Walmart for their "Ozark Trail" thermos bottle stock number TC-0010 at around $11 (if they still carry it). I did my mod over 5 years ago using those.

    BellaCorse teardrops

    I have them on my Bonnie (I believe they are actually EMGO replacements for late 60's Bonnies). JC Whitney sells inline baffles that fit for about $5. I did mine years ago so the price has probably changed. They sell 2 diameter sizes and I bought the small one. It fits perfectly into the header...

    Need advice on British Customs

    I haven't dealt with them in a couple of years, but here's the numbers that I have for either Sean or Jason...(310) 225-2570 or FAX (310) 225-2580. E-Mail was [email protected] for checking on orders, or [email protected] which got a response from either Sean or Jason. Shorty

    Eeek Guns!

    When the family and I used to go camping alot, I favored my .357 Mag with a 4" barrel (I carry it still at times on my bike in a cross-draw holster). As for wildlife...don't know what you intend to get into, but here in Texas we might run into cougars, bobcats or coyotes for which a .357 should...

    Paint

    I believe the "scarlet red" factory paint of the 01's and 02's is Dupont RF 2509. I never did figure out the silver, but I think it's called "warm silver" and it is IVC L2244 according to my notes. Shorty

    I need a small, economical car for work

    Sweat, have you considered the Sonata? I know it's a little bit more than the Accent, but with the discounts and rebates now you could probably get one in the 16K range or possibly even better. I took the plunge last year and bought one with a standard (never even considering a Korean car in...

    avon roadriders

    I don't quite understand the term "universal tire". The people I purchased mine from show the 100/90V-19 as a Front or Rear option in their catalog and maybe that's what is meant by "universal". I've had mine now for about 2 years I guess and haven't had any issues. They grip, and the front and...

    Won't start...battery?

    I've had a similar issue on my "02" (not an EFI therefore this might not apply to your bike) which included the bike starting sometimes, but no headlights and then not starting at all. I replaced one of the relays under the left side cover and it fixed the problem (I think it was the one...

    Oil

    Can't tell you about the "racing" part but I've been using Mobile 1 15-50 for years now. Just bought some yesterday at Walmart for $22 (I think it's 5 quarts). Shorty

    Eeek Guns!

    Just took my 2nd renewal CHL course last month here in Texas. According to the instructor it's taking about 3 months instead of the 45 days for renewal applications for the Dept of Public Safety to do the paperwork. Reason...about 10,000 applications per month in this state. Shorty

    EMGO's

    I feel fortunate. I've installed the NewBonneville Sprint (EMGO) burgess style silencers about 5 years ago on my Bonnie and have been very pleased with them. Even though they are mfg'd in China as replacements for the 60's Bonnies (says so on the box), the chrome plating is great in my opinion...
