Is anyone using the dauntless sidecar frame? Whether or not: Comments? Observations? http://www.dauntlessmotors.com/Sidecars/sidecar%20frames.htm Thanks, and...
I got my Helix back from the shop today. The clutch nut had come off and the clutch was rubbing on the cover. Apparently, I did not tighten the nut enough...
Don't worry, it's typical since all the hot air from the radiator blows right up the handlebars. You can drill some holes on the back side of the handlebar...
I'm glad you got her back without any major work or damage. Good 'ol Helixes run forever! ~Susan in New Jersey~ "It is not for us to define others, we are...
Yes....in fact both my handlebar tips get hot. It is from the radiator below. The heat follows the handlebars right up to the top. Mike Niles, Mi ... ...
In the winter time I take my handlebar center cover off. I then have a nice place to warm my hands when I stop... .....heh heh heh... Mike Niles, Mi ... ...
... ~~~~~Hi Bill, Mike in Indiana mentioned in an earlier reply to Alan that the heat he was feeling is from the radiator, migrating up through the handlebar...
I remember "someone" on the board had fashioned a hose to attach to the center handlebar cover and he used the warm air as heat in his jacket! Again, my...
I don't remember the name but it was some fella in New Zealand. ( or Zeeland, whatever yer preference) ~Susan in New Jersey~ "It is not for us to define...
Well, the dealer said the engine is blown, NO Compression. Going down the interstate this morning at 70 mph, and it just dies.... At least I got AAA to tow...
That is kind of a kewl idea. But my priority would be my hands. Perhaps a hose divided into two....lol Mike Niles, Mi ... [Non-text portions of this message...
Was this on your long trip? Or have I confused posts? You might have just blown a head gasket out....no big deal. Or broke a connecting rod.....or put a hole...
Yes, this is on my long trip. OK thanks Mike. I may pull the head tonight once I get it back to my daughters place. The Honda dealer said it was real low on...
OK, not hard to fix, I do have most of my tools, including my torque wrench and service manual. I have limited time. I am away from home. Do you really think...
I can undertand your dilemma. Might have to brainstorm on this. If you were closer to me I would haul it home for you for the gas money. Your about 250 miles...
There is a complete engine rebuild gasket set on ebay right now for the Helix. It has a buy it now price of $49.95. Might be worth the investment. Mike Niles,...

thanks Mike, will look at that. Tom designer62@... wrote: There is a complete engine rebuild gasket set on ebay right now for the Helix. It has a buy it...
I think I can get you to Colorado and then get myself back home for $450. Only a little cheaper than u-haul Mike Niles, Mi ... [Non-text portions of this...
Hi Mike, I think I have it figured out. Enterprise rents pick up trucks with unlimited milage for $57 a day. That way I can haul it to PA to see my mom, my...
Seems kinda ridiculous that the dealer couldn't figure out *why* there is no compression. I mean, there's gaskets, valves broken or not closing, drivetrain...
Nothing I know of Tom..... But if you get it to PA....then you are twice as far to get the bike home. And is that enterprize truck rental a "one way" price,...
I went into the shop and put my finger over the hole as they turned it over, there is no compression. I really do not have the time to wait for them to tear...
Well, going to PA was the main reason for the trip, to visit my mom. I will call Enterprise first thing this morning when they are open. Sure hope it is not...
Hands is also my problem Mike. I solved it with a good pair of Gerbing G3's! I love them. They are made so you don't even need a heat controller (I have one...
All true! The HH is very easy to rebuild (I rebuilt my 86 TWICE! Once for the head gasket and once when the case broke). I would rebuild before I sold it...
