Happy B-Day Patti. Good to know it was one of your best too. We're still on the road heading home. Probably one more night in a hotel bed then the comfort of our own. Larry
-
Me too cause I'm still in Mt. Red Lodge to be exact as we did the Beartooth coming in from West Yellowstone. Sort of doing some catching up with the rides I missed during rally week. Larry

Will keep him in my thoughts & prayers till we know he's recovered from his injuries. Larry -
I may well be in that area either tomorrow or the next day. Currently holed up at the Super 8 west of Madison for the next couple nights. Larry

Like you I wasn't too fond of the gaps between the bikes framing and the hits framing. What I did was cut sheet metal to follow the curved part on the bike and attached that to the angled bar that runs up to the upper rear frame of the kit, I welded it in place on that angled bar, This blocks out the drive shaft / swing arm parts. Did that on both sides. The next step was doing the same form the area behind the flat support plates of the kit. The sheet metal was welded to the back side of thr plate. It comes up on an angle then bent to a more level spot. I think I left about a 1/4" gap between the support plate sheetmetal and the bikes fender & strut. I'll see about getting pics later. Both side were done up the same with the right side also having the air valve for the air bags there as well. Larry On another note when I cut out the fender and frame requirements for the front of the body I kept a 1/4" gap following the fenders outline. Makes a tight neat fit but for sure more work getting it right.

Currently we're spending night at Sioux Falls, going to Rapid City tomorrow and spending a couple days there. Going to tour the Black Hills area Friday and maybe Saturday too. then on to Cody either Sat or Sun depending on how long we stay at Rapid City. Maybe we'll hook up for that Friday ride. I'll check here tomorrow to see where everyones at. Larry
-
Bubber where you guys staying at for your outing in the black hills. I'm planning on getting to Rapid City tomorrow, staying there a couple days before going to Cody on Sat. Planning on a day long ride around the Black Hills Friday. Larry

On my auxiliary tank set up I added an inline fuel filter, electric fuel pump starting at the tank and then under the seat added a "Y" connector to the line going to the carbs. Also I installed a relay so that when I have the auxilary tank on the power is killed for the main tank. Flip that switch off and power is applies to the main. Killing power to the main fuel pump will keep you from feeding the carbs with both tanks. And no back filling either of them. What I like to do is run the fuel completely out of the auxilary tank and then switch to the main. When the auxilary tank is on the fuel gauge will read whatever is in the main tank. Larry

Thanks for the info guys. Currently we're spending the night at Madison, Wi. Going to sort out the routes from here in a bit. Larry Took 355 instead of 294 today. Illinois sure likes to collect their tolls!
-
Thanks for the heads up there. Gonna check it out. Not much of a detour either. Maybe hit it by way of 14 to 71 and westward ho from there. What 14 like? Larry
-
Leaving in the morning. Looks like my route will be I-94 to I -294 to I-90 all the way to 14 (Cody). Maybe a few side trips between Wi and Wy. We'll be taking our time once we get on 90 heading west. Anyone along that route give a shout out. Larry

Be aware of your debit / credit cards while traveling
Carbon_One replied to Lone Eagle's topic in Watering Hole
We are always getting those credit card offers in the mails and the other day the wife suggested we should have applied for one to only use on our trip out west. Then after getting home pay it off and close the account. Unfortuneately she/we didn't think of that soon enough to be able to put that plan into action before our departure time. The idea of using credit over debit is a good one too and will end up with the same results as a debit providing you pay off the charges on the 1st billing. As Dick noted you build up credits if you card account provides that feature. Larry -
Yea what they said. Give it all ya got & then some. We'll talk to the man upstairs for ya. Prove the Docs wrong . Good luck to you. Larry

Seeing as I'm caging & trailering to Cody I can bring along some of my products besides what I intend for the raffle. Items would be horn brackets & wiring harnesses, lift adapters- standard & freestanding, crash bar braces, & 1 arm rest set. Prices will be discounted to reflect both savings in shipping and a cash discount for all items. I'll be limited to 4 each of the harnesses and brackets, crash bar braces, adapters, & 1 arm rest set due to what I have available and have room to haul with me. Anyone interested let me know either here of in a pm. We're leaving Tuesday so I have to know by tomorrow evening of any requests. Thanks, Larry

I'll have a older Dell with me as well. Just a basic unit is all thou. Used mainly to track e-mails and VRO posts. Larry PS: Vic the hotel itself may have a desktop in their lobby as well. Most places do have one available for their guests now, along with printers if needed.

Congrats to both of you Gary & Mary. Wishing you a wonderfull day and many happy years to come. Larry & Joyce

flasher control
Carbon_One replied to Carbon_One's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
UPDATE: Today I realized that the turn signals are indeed self cancelling after all. I don't know if they stay on longer or I was impatient on them going off. Whatever now that I know they'll cancel I'll try to see if the flash duration has changed or not next. Larry
