Is B18C5-EH2 you?  I thought I sent a reply, but I guess I didn't...

The one on the right (ROSIE) is a welch-corgi.  She was my fav.
The one on the left (JACKIE) is a Chihuahua (sp?).  He was very mischievous.

I haven't seen them since March 2005. :cry:  My parents didn't want them around, and gave them away.  I miss them. :cry:

Nope. We got cheapied out in that sense. None of the US-spec bikes got any form of front fork adjustment whatsoever.

Rosie was the best dog I've ever had.  She always listened (except when around strange dogs.  She'd go berzerk and try to attack.)

If I didn't want her in the living room, I'd just point to the kitchen, and she would drop her tail, but she'd go like I wanted.  Then she'd be sitting in the doorway looking at me, as if to ask if it was OK to come in the room again. :cry:

Is there a point beyond the redline where it's no longer redline???
Title: Re: Pic of my Weird Gauges
Post by: baco99 on July 19, 2006, 08:39:24 AM
yes.  it's the "black-line" at which point you go back to 1985.

Oh I know those to. They were the same as my gauges on my 80 CB650 Custom. And with all the noise and everything else you were hearing that high up in the rev range. You weren't about to go dancing passed 9k

And its probably more likely that its one gauge to cover the entire range of CB's from 350-900. Each with different redlines. So just make a block to cover the entire lot of them
