  1. How much play does it have? It's supposed to have some to keep it from possibly sticking. About 1/32" or so.-Jack
  2. I used the install kit from TSS and the Roadyholder mount from Hoon Hardware to mount mine on top of the front brake resevoir.-Jack http://www.hoonhardware.com/RoadyHolder/roadyholder.htm
  3. It's actually supposed to help "dynamically balance" the tires. I get mine on ebay.-Jack
  4. Ken, give a hollar and let me know when you expect to be in town and maybe we can meet up at the DQ for an ice cream!-Jack
  5. After suffering from the "ice pick between the shoulders" feeling on long rides I installed the Barons risers. They helped somewhat but didn't fully solve the problem. I just finished installing the Flanders bars, ss brake lines and throttle cables from Buckeye Performance. I also installed Kuryakyn Iso grips and put in a Sirius Sportster 4 satellite radio while I had the fairing split. I havent had a chance to go on a ride yet so I'll keep yall posted as far as the comfort level is concerned. The install went well and though it was a good bit of work, anyone with a reasonable level of mechanical ability should be able to do it without a problem. I will say that Rick at Buckeye performance is a pleasure to do business with and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to do this upgrade.-Jack
  6. I get mine at a Motorcycle dealer/shop near here. Here's an online source. It's not cheap but a little goes a LONG way. I use about 1 can a year on my 2 bikes combined and I clean my windshields almost everytime I ride which is year round.-Jack http://www.superiorcarcare.net/plexplasclea.html
  7. RainX is not compatable with plexiglass or lexan. Don't use it. I use Plexus. Some people use Pledge furniture polish.-Jack
  8. Great news! -Jack:cool10:
  9. We might as well use the resources as we see fit as long as we can. If we don't use em the Chinese and Indians will. Does anyone think they're going to cut back?-Jack
  10. Does it snap back when you let go of it? Have you had the cables lubed lately?-Jack
  11. Thanks for the update and the pics! Keep em comin for us desk bound zombies!-Jack
  12. I just put on a set of Flanders G2 bars. Does that count?-Jack
  13. You might be able to move them if you can see somthing blocking them from stretching far enough, a wire bundle for example. As far as disassembly goes it's six of one half a dozen of the other IMO.-Jack
  14. I did not need new cables when I added the risers. You may need to rerout your cables to give them more slack. Take the neck cover off of the left side. That will give you access to the throttle box and you might be able to see what the problem is. Are your handelbars stock? Stock handelbars with barons risers should not require longer cables.-Jack
  15. There's a cheap and easy fix on the Venturers web site. http://www.venturers.org/ You have to pay if you want to post but it's free to read if you register. Go to the 2nd gen tech section and search for PTT.-Jack
  16. It's great to hear she's improving! We'll still be praying!-Jack
  17. Have a great (safe) trip! Let us know when you expect to be in the Atlanta, N Ga area. I'm sure some of the members here would like to get together for a meet n eat if possible!-Jack:080402gudl_prv:
  18. Next time it might pay to try to get some local VR members to check it out for you. We have some members in macon. They might have saved you the trip.-Jack
  19. Hi DoubleD, what is that phone # you called? I haven't been able to find it in my manual or other paper work.-Jack
  20. Extended patrols can be and are re-supplied by air drop.
  21. One thing I do know is that spec ops troops are given a fair degree of leeway in equipment and uniform selection. I would not discard this pic out of hand because the subject doesn't conform to standard.-Jack
  22. Well, I'm no authority on the subject. Here's a link to the thread from the other forum. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=340502
  23. Found this pic on another forum. It's a Long Range Recon Patrol biker ready for a week long mission in Iraq. Awesome! God Bless our Troops!-Jack
  24. I don't think the catalyst has any effect, soundwise. You can drill them out like the non catalyst mufflers if you choose. I could be wrong though. The ones I got were non catalyst.-Jack
  25. 31 1/2. Not bad considering we're only 50! I know there were a bunch of people saying "it'll never last!". Boy were they wrong!-Jack:crackup:
