    New bike: my first airhead, classic R80 G/S

    Not sure what vintage means to you, but this tank bag showed up today on CL up here in Seattle. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/2385500292.html P.S., Roseann, you inspired me too. My new 81 R80G/S I picked up last month. :bike_rider: [/IMG]

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    They are built off the existing tailgate trunnions using a ~1.5" piece of round pipe that slips over and rides on the trunnion. Everything else is built off that so the weight is on the trunnion.

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    If you are talking about my swing-arm setup, the fuel/water carrier and ammo box can be removed from the swing-arms. They have a small length of 1-1/2" square tube welded to their bottoms and then slide on a 1-1/4" square tube welded to the swing-arm and then are locked on with a common hitch...

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    I removed the tailgate after my first trip. It is too hard to exit, you really need to step down out of the door to exit comfortably. I fab'd up a dual-swing gate in place of the tailgate....it holds extra gas, water, hi-jack, and tools in an ammo can.

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    I'll chime in, I have a Finch shell with factory heater, in fact, the silver taco pics in the original post is mine from the day I brought it home. After nearly 3 years use, I have never used the heater, but I do run an extension hose from propane tank to my stove outside the camper. If I...

    Pants...

    For a syn cargo, there is nothing tougher and more versatile than the VersaTac's from Railriders. Light and mid weight versions available but they don't have a great color selection. http://www.railriders.com/men-versatac-mid-pant-p-955.html?cPath=104_110

    FWC Finch on a +05 Tacoma

    I was never quite satisfied with the overhang the Eagle would have made in the 6' bed. The Finch is 6-8" shorter so there is no overhang to worry about on the more technical trails and allowed me to put up the tailgate. But while the tailgate provided and nice table/platform, it was very...

    Four Wheel Camper - A Review

    Yep, he got me too and his new Finch post made me beg FWC to change my already placed order from the Eagle to Finch. No complaints though. Starting my return leg from last weeks Elk City Wagon/Magruder/Lolo loop trip [/IMG]

    FWC Finch on a +05 Tacoma

    thanks for the welcomes, The camper is tagged at 525 lbs. with furnace and full bottle of LP. The truck suspension has DR coilovers and OME leafs & shocks and swaybar removed. You do notice it a bit but I usually carry 350-400 lbs of sand in the winter time so I'm used to it and drive...

    FWC Finch on a +05 Tacoma

    Long time lurking member, first time posting. Thought I'd share the new Finch model I picked up last weekend since it was first posted on this site a couple weeks ago. As soon as I saw the first pics, I called FWC and changed my order from the Eagle to the Finch. The great customer service at...
