  1. Yep, Dim would be a bad ground. Start at the rear and work your way up looking for the Green Dust, oh my! Clean and reconnect everything.
  2. I just saw a car cream a deer on I 79 n at the 123. It lookes like chillie when she got done with it @ 75 mph. Nothing was left. Imagine what that would do to a biker. A few killed by deer earlier in ohio this year. Bikers that is.
  3. They sell a double USB outlet that directly plus into the cig lighter one outlet is 2amp and the other 1 amp. Will charge a note and a cell phone or even run a gps. It is pretty much flush when in the cig lighter. That's what I use. And I made a female cig outlet that plugs where you hook in your battery tender gives me an extra heavy duty high amp outlet and when I put the usb adapter in my passenger can use cellphone charging and I can also power and charge gi pro camera stuff. Yes 4 USB outlets!
  4. Yea its all in fun. Busting on freebird. We all wish we had a water cooled shaft drive Roadglide!
  5. What he said will work as an equilizer and be much cheaper and cooler. Just have a spare. I am returning the custom dynamics turn signals is not Truly FOR the venture but a generic metric kit you must make work with hocus pocus and an equilizer and at the end you can't really use your flashers. But I did install a double bar LED license plate frame with run turn brake and plate light. 100% satisfied!!!! Also did the 100 LED tail light 100% on that too.
  6. Wow. Sorry for his Loss but it seems that day takes some of the sting out of it for him knowing she had a great time. Yay for maintence day and including the women.
  7. Like nails on a chalkboard, And Im thinking of riding into work tonight after 10 pm, Past the Revenna Arsenal. Seem a buck out there today about NOON, imagine tonight. Everyone did a good job not reacting too much. But hole e Deer!
  8. Yea Either do the 1500 or do the 1000 by going 550, log the turn around and mark it with a receipt and even better a witness but not needed. And come back. That way if you have to work you won't be a zombie. Im with ya on the break down thing, thats the way its got to be. I did mine solo and a few two up but never in a group. I think that would certainly chew at your odds. I would be up to doing it, What bike you doing it on so I know if I should bring some SAE tools.
  9. Yea Stuck relay guess here too, Open it up and I am almost positive there are some same size relays elsewhere on the bike you can trade out to diagnose, if it fixes it with the different relay, THEN go buy one. And relays are pretty easy to test.
  10. Hey Don on my RS I have an HD tour pak and they make a chrome slider By kuryakyn. Gives you four inches of slide, but seems like once you get out where you like it, it never moves. But on a solo trip you can load it up and move it fwd for better handling. And I may have mine for sale as now that I have the venture I'm going to take the Roadstar back to a Midnight Silverado. Might make a scooter trailer out of the tour PAC. Oh and the tour PAC has led lights if your interested.
  11. Can't be nearly as hard as changing the fuel filter.
  12. No flame suit needed . I did mention I used the hh pads and I toasted a rear rotor in one set and the fronts only took two sets to be trashed. Dealer warned me. Now I am sure it depends on how you ride. I went to the Dragon area two up and loaded three times a year . but with the normal pads I have never had such a problem. Only did the hh one year. Learned my lesson.
  13. Makes sense, they been sued for the heat issue. http://cyrilhuzeblog.com/2011/07/29/california-court-sides-with-bikers-burned-by-their-twin-cam-harleys/ And lost. And anyone who wants to know, this is a great read on the motor and HDs attitude. Contains info that could help avert a costly catastrophe. http://www.jamesrussellpublishing.biz/beforeyoubuyharley.html
  14. Here is link to my How to on the clinic same procedure for venture http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,187/func,view/id,185299/catid,58/
  15. I take the reservoir cap off, take some fluid out with a turkey baster.... With the area covered against spill by as fender mat...then I take door shims and wedge them in from both sides and as you tap on them the pistons go back in. BUT. Before you do that clean the pistons with a tooth brush and WD 40. Make them shine. THEN push em back in. I have also used two chisels and scrap wood, an old RR tie nail, and as of late, the plastic shims work fantastic. On the pads, I used the hh once and it cost me a pile of money as they do wear the rotors, had to buy new. Now I just run factory type pads, I buy mine from shadetree motorsports. Just a short drive down the road but they ship for free.
  16. And closely inspect the pins the pads slide on. Roll them on glass and make sure they are not worn where the pads slide on them. If they are ......replace the pins. Use a brake parts lube on the pins so the pads will glide in and out with the piston movement. I also always use disc brake quiet, spray that helps the PaD stick to the piston. It also helps prevent corrosion. Note than normal grease will not replace brake parts lube. Its non wash out, dry, and high temp. Getting it all clean and bright before you put it back on makes it a good job, better than a dealer will ever do. Never replace both front and rear at the same time. Do one, complete it. Pump em and test ride then come back and do the other set. Good idea to bleed em each change also. Over on the rodstarclinic I did a thread with pictures that walks you though it. Search front brake maint. By ms1700
  17. I just would need one, not the two for special. That is kind of steep. But if you're going cross country you'll need it.
  18. How top secret is the price? I hate to have cadiac arrest while on the phone.
  19. Whew. Thought maybe I git had as that was a wierd transaction. Ok see ny jack stand soon. More orders to come. Im putting stuff on as fast as I can.
  20. I read some threads and it seemes edsets were what people liked most. The g3 with the thunderclap option is what I ordered. They have a youtube that expkains the system. Seems to be the best out there but at about $250 each to the front door they should be.
  21. Yea I found some more friendly lights yo install that don't require an equalizer. And no hacking into the wire harness. Big thanks to hubbsfd for tunning me in on what all was needed to make it work. Its a bit of smoke and mirrors on the custom dynamics web site. I even calles them and they said it was a plug and play sort of install besides the low cost flashee you wire yourself. No mention of hacking wire harness or equalizers. Its basically a generic kit they lead you to believe it's custom. The lights look great though. But I didnt want to cut or tap wires nor run an equalizer. I don't have the room for one .... Don't want the heat. And want to have the option of using the flashers if needed. So they need to go back to the drawing board on this one.
  22. Id like to hide one under the lowers of fairing. I heard someone did that. But I lost the thread. Well he said he did it no how to or anything he just did it was as loud as open mount. I want mine hidden. Anyone? And a few days ago I ordered a jack stand from carbon one snd haven't heard anything. No answers to e mail. Wonder if is on the way or he don't know I ordered it. Funds transfered. Pay pal.
  23. They can't mess with the warrant anyways. Just keep making records and receipts'. That first service is a rip off. The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.' Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ' I want to hang out with God.' St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God. God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle? ' Arthur said, 'Yeah, that's me...' God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?' Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?' God said, 'Ah, yes.' 'Well,' said Arthur , professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention ! 1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension 2. It chatters constantly at high speeds 3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much 4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust 5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!! 'Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,' replied God, 'hold on.' God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it. 'Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,' God said to Arthur, 'but according to these numbers, more men are ridding my invention than yours!"
  24. I went to a chrome shop for trucks and found a chrome round but cover that fits the but perfectly. It was like two bucks. No pic I'm on the road. Maybe later.
  25. Now that was hilarious! Got me! LOL.
