Is the new catalog out yet? I haven't seen one yet if it is. One would think they would send me another after what I spent last year. Alan Henderson A13 Iowa

...Is the new Aerostitch catalog out yet? I haven't seen one yet if it is. I spoke to them today, "They" should get the catalog early next week. "We" should get them in about 3 weeks. The bags are the same as the "old" drybags BUT hav a clip and are $99.00 EACH vs $167/both. Ouch. "You can't order them till you get the catalog," so the salesmen said. I figure wait a week and try to order them. Ken A13 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send online invitations with Yahoo! Invites. http://invites.yahoo.com

That sounds way expensive to me. My dealer did my 600 mile service which included an oil change, valve adjustment, vc gasket, and the remainder of the check list in the manual. I recall it as being about 80 or 90 bucks. Elden just walked me through my first valve adjustment at home. It is pretty simple if you can follow directions. My dealer is real cool they swap shims out one for one at no charge so it didn't cost anything. I have far more confidence in my own ability than any shop tech I have met so far. Of course having Mr. Wizard looking over your shoulder is is a real reassurance. Morgan
