    ARB Compressor Install With Remote Air Inlet

    Well, that's my issue...every fitting is leaking. Got some of 'em taken care of with Teflon tape...others with RTV!

    ARB Compressor Install With Remote Air Inlet

    I'm resurrecting this thread, as I'm chasing a leak on my ARBs; also with the Quick Disconnect (QD) fitting. Could one of you gents who've solved this with a different QD post a link to the type that doesn't leak? My compressor cycles for about a second every 30 seconds or so...and doesn't...

    What do you look for in an Expo Bike?

    The R is a great bike; however, I've found when loaded for a trip of any distance the extra performance is somewhat negated. I'm a big fan of the XR650L...simple, cheap, reliable and parts are easy to find in most places, as are tires. -H-

    Where to shop for new 80 or 100

    I'd suggest checking out the for sale section (classifieds) at www.ih8mud.com There are tons of well-equipped and taken care of 80s there. Review the "newbie's guides" on www.sleeoffroad.com for potential maintenance items for the various years. The nice thing about 80s is that most, if not...

    Expedition Shovels

    Great links and ideas. I carry a simple, old round nosed shovel with the handle cut short (3 feet or so), strapped firmly to the front bumper. I prefer a full sized shovel, rather than a folding trenching tool, as if I have to use it, I likely need to move a large amount of material. In the...

    Crossroads..mod or upgrade?

    I ran OME 850/863 springs with heavy shocks on my 92 80 series, and really liked it. I kept the stock gearing with 31x10.5R15s. While in the states, and in Flagstaff, my DD mileage was 10-12mpg. In Mexico, fully loaded, I'd routinely see 15mpg, given the lower speeds. The OME springs gave me...

    What do you look for in an Expo Bike?

    My number 1 rule for a motorcycle: It has to "do it" for you when you look at it and ride it. ...once you have that, any bike will go around the world. It's what motorcycles are for! -H-

    Paria Closure Protest Ride 5/9/09

    That just about sums it up. Although in order to have standing to challenge a law...many times one must break that law and face the consequences. We'll see how it pans out. -H-

    Adopt-A-Trout

    Ok, so.... We're not "saving" trout from anglers, but assisting in the legal fight to reopen OHV trails, which have been closed by the USFS in response to indications of riparian/watershed degredation from OHV activity; whether or not said degredation has been proven. The original post lead me...

    Adopt-A-Trout

    Is there any other background? I couldn't find any other information regarding the "why" on the website. E.g. Is there a problem with overfishing? Illegal fishing? Riparian degradation from anglers? -H-
