  1. That would also be a nice arrangement if you have a pilion that likes to bat you upside the head while riding..........
  2. Are you looking for holders for a small flag or for a full 3'x5' flag?
  3. And if you do not take care of it soon you will be shopping for a replacement. The squealing is a dry bearing in there.
  4. Sounds like a plan coming together. I hope to actually meet you at MD and at the Int rally.
  5. Congratulations Red. Now you something that can make it to WI MD and still fit in.........
  6. I agree with Bob $2K is way to much for a bike that will not even turn over let alone run. The lower fairing are broken, half of it is still hanging there. the side panels are missing. If he will not go for 1K for both bikes and whatever spare parts he has laying around then offer 500 for just the newer one. he is looking for a sucker to over pay, don't be afraid to return the favor and insult him some. There was just a Venture Royal sold on this site in excellent condition with lots of bling for less than 2K.
  7. Well now I went and did it. Just placed another big order for LEDs. Once this batch arrives and gets installed, there will not be a single incandescent bulb left on the bike. This will bring the LED total up to 503 LEDs so far. I still have about 1200 more LEDs in a box looking for a new home. Some of what I am up to. I am going to install a brake light modulator on the brake lights that will flash them at 8 Hz for a half second and then flash at 2 Hz for 1.5 second and then stay on steady. I am also going to install a different type of brake flasher that will flash at 10Hz for 2 seconds and then remain steady on. This one will be hooked up to the horn and will flash all lights except for the HID headlight and HID driving lights, whenever the horn is blowing. I may add a couple of white high intensity strobes to this circuit on the front of the bike just in case the front turn signals are getting lost in all of the HID light. As a "side benefit" this will save about 12 amps of power for other things like more lights or toys. Coupled with the HO stator and RR and loosing the electric anti dive, there should not be anything dimming when I come to a stop. I will do pics, video, writeup, and parts list if this all works out. I also got some more LEDs for the trailer........ More on that when I get that far.
  8. I have BOTH of my Bad Boys mounted on the bag protector frames facing forward. With the 2 of them I have finally achieved the holy grail, I got a cager to throw her phone out the window as she ran a stop sign in front of me. That was so much fun I now have a horn thats significantly louder than 2 Bad Boys, I just have to figure out how to mount it.
  9. It does not look like weight will be an issue. The only issues I see are to remember that monster is back there, and there is a lot of surface area and leverage for the wind while riding in a cross wind. I don't see these as problems, just things to keep in mind. Watch your tongue weight while loading stuff.
  10. First thought is the 16V. That could be a failed RR. The high voltage could have damaged the battery, TCI, and most anything else electric.
  11. If it has the canister then it is most likely a cal model. A lot more hoses. I am trying to figure out how to replumb to stock NON cal.
  12. We need to know which version you have. The plumbing on a California model is very different from the rest. Mine is a Cali model but was bought new and always owned in Wisconsin.
  13. There are some members that will be heading in that direction to get home and will know the better roads to take. If you are thinking of making it a 2 day, the Wisconsin Dells are close to halfway.
  14. $475 is pretty steep for a hitch. If you don't want to do It I'll bet you could get it done for the cost of a pizza and a few drinks.......
  15. Well then we can all be certain that you are full of it........
  16. Jump out of a perfectly good airplane that is airborne. The thought lasted just 1.414 seconds. There is no one capable of getting me out of a perfectly good airplane while it is still airborne. But then I do like the number 3..........a much longer thought.
  17. Found the controller that I was looking at. http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/subpages/tekonsha_brakecontrollers.htm
  18. The flat boxer 4 cylinder Subaru engine is a popular engine for use in home built aircraft.
  19. I have made dealers write in the contract that there is to be no advertising on the vehicle. I made them put in the contract that I get $10 per day for advertising. They are real good at getting those stickers off if it will make or break a sale.
  20. I have to watch this one. I want to put electric brakes onto my HF trailer as well. I can not just mount brakes on to the HF axle, I will have to make a whole new axle from scratch. But that will also give me standard bearings and seals for future maintenance. I do not like the increased stopping distance required. Especially while trying to survive Chicago traffic every time I want to head south or east. I was going to get all of the parts from R and P Carriages just down the road from you. I was looking at several options for the controller. The one that looked the most promising to me was (I forget the brand offhand) one that had a key fob remote control that could adjust the braking force via wireless remote. I was then going to mount the controller onto the trailer to save wiring and mess on the bike. None of the controllers that I have found are even water resistant, they are all designed to mount inside of a cage. You want to be able to control the controller while riding.
  21. Be very careful with both acetone and brake fluid on these bikes. They will both have any plastic or paint they find for lunch.
  22. I was there, no one home.......... Oh, wait, that was last night. I'll try again tonight.
  23. Well as long as you in there anyhow......... Might as well toss in a set of rings and bearings. Maybe some new pistons to bump the compression......
  24. The yard is so purdy. And I'll bet there are no pond monster sightings when the yard looks like that..... HAIL HAIL THE PHIL IS DEAD!!!!!!!
  25. I never did cover letters. I have never been out of work for more than a month. I just tailored the resume to the job I was applying for. HR people do not like to read, managers like it even less. I was always taught that anything more than one page will go to the bottom of the pile if you are lucky. I don't know if that is true or not, just what I was told. Unless this was advertised as a temporary position, do not make it look like you are after a temp job till you can go back to your "real" job. If it is a permanent position that could turn into a full time position. Treat it like you really want the job and plan to stay forever.
