Just installed a Hellwig anti-sway bar. It really improves the handling characteristics. Also pic of propane tank.

ed thats a sexy battery compartment!!!!

Ed, what material did you use for the hose from the air box to the air cleaner? Would you take a pic of the air cleaner installation?

Looks like dryer duct...

I just replaced the front brake hoses, along with the master cylinder, 2 hard brakes, left front caliper, and added Speed Bleeders on all 4 calipers. I pulled the Hydroboost unit and replaced the power steering hoses and greased the joints. The master cylinder rear-aft bowl has a metric fitting and the distribution block/manifold has a standard fitting-Napa has the metric conversion for this hard line. O'Reilly and Autozone carry the hard lines, but can't help you a lot-with fittings. It takes a while to bleed all the air out of the power steering pump. The bolts that hold the master cylinder to the Hydroboost pump have 2 way threads-remove the nuts by turning to the left; the bolts themselves have reverse threads and both must be removed to pull master cylinder. It takes about 2.5 quarts of brake fluid to bleed all 4 wheels.

I'm having a little trouble visualizing this.

How deep is the Hughes pan inside?

Could a little welding or cutting make it work?

Ed, do you tow your Yamaha four wheels down?

Whoops, just found out that a YSR is a motorcycle. Guess it doesn't have four wheels.

Ed, how deep is your steel pan?

Somewhere, I have a pan similar to the Hughes.

It looks like cutting the round protuberance off the back end of the pan behind the drain plug and then welding a flat plate to cover the opening would avoid removing much material from the cross member. I am reluctant to cut the cross member too much because there is a gear vendors hanging on the back, which adds more stress than the OEM designers were looking at.

Ed, I think Tere wants to rent you for a month or two. Everytime you do one of these neat things to your Barth, she wants to do the same thing. I think I have to go rob a bank.

I'm looking to purchase my first motorhome, preferably a Barth, is this unit still available.

Yes, it is.

And probably one of the best, if not the best anywhere.

Hello Ed,

How many miles on your Barth?(tranny and engine). Like to give you a call to with you about your Barth.
