    I am hoping to be leaving Milwaukee, WI at around 6am on Friday Morning and riding straight thru with just food and gas stops. Since I am a marshmallow but rider, I will use the excuse that my trailer is causing very bad gas mileage and I will need to stop often. Yup that's my story and I am sticking to it. The plan at the moment is to take I294 "around" Chicago, I80-90 most of the way there. I am shooting for the fastest way there since I am unsure about my endurance ability. Yes I am old and the wolves are after me.....

    Yup, nuttin but trouble with him. First he comes of with these great ideas that I just have to have, then he goes and prices them reasonably, and then to make it worse he supports the hell out of it. How am I ever gonna be able to quit upgrading stuff. Yup, nuttin but trouble with that one............

    I seem to remember some discussion on this topic on this site a long time ago. I seem to remember that the 4 inlets are part of a tuned exhaust and that changing that tuned length will reduce torque, horsepower, or both, depending on what you change. In many of the threads where people have installed aftermarket mufflers that reduced back pressure, they had to mess with the carbs. This is all from memory and I do have CRS.

    Not only that but the front pipes have a LOT more cooling air available than the rear pipes, I would expect the fronts to be cooler.

    You can always run the ad now with the available date of the first and offer the first month free or discounted if the new tenants clean up the mess from the last. A tenent that would be willing to clean it up will be more likely to keep it that way. Back in the days when I was renting I did that deal a few times.

    Ez-pass

    Flyinfool replied to BEER30's topic in Watering Hole

    I don't know about your state but for EZ-Pass in Illinois, my MC pulling a trailer will pay exactly the same as my P/U pulling the big RV. I called and asked about the same things and was told it strictly goes by number of axles and the number of wheels on the axle has no bearing on the toll. They said there is no special toll or transponder or discount for a MC with or without trailer.

    Not bad if you are one of the strange ones that actually like chrome.

    Dang!! I missed all of the fun again......

    This sounds like it would be a great MD job. Quick and easy with a good smile factor. At most any MD there will be someone that can help you thru it.

    Since you need to run the power wire back to the battery anyhow it is not hard to add in a switch to turn the light on after the engine is started. If you do not add the switch, what can happen is that as soon as you turn on the ignition switch, the light turns on. Then when you hit the starter, iv the system voltage drops below 9V the HID safety circuit will shut off the HID due to low voltage. Once the protection circuit shuts it off you have to cycle power to reset it. It is not real uncommon to hit the low voltage cutoff during starting which would mean that you would have to shut off the engine and restart and hope the voltage holds this time. This is NOT a problem with the HID systems, it is them working as designed. Low voltage would damage the internal electronics. They are just protecting themselves. Besides, having a switch to kill the headlight does come in handy when working on the bike.

    If the clutch upgrade is the same for both a 1st and 2nd gen then it is about a half hour job, the second time you do it. It takes an hour the first time. You need to be sure there is a small torque wrench there. I wont know till the last minute whether I can sneak out of the house for 3 weekend trips in a row....

    Of course they lowered production. A surplus was starting to develop and the price started to come down......

    I don't even know what is available for 1st gen grips. The ones that are on the bike now are all foam with chrome caps at each end of the foam. I like the way they feel, their just worn almost thru in places. I hate chrome so if you stock something with foam grip and no chrome, you're in my ballpark. I'm not supper fussy, function comes long before beauty.

    Hmmmm. The kids are all long past High school, the last of the grand kids just finished high school last year and the great grand kids still have a ways to go. In today's world anything with kids and cameras scares me.

    There's gonna be Jeff's crawling out of the woodwork.

    I don't think the flavor matters to Big Tom. It's still ice cream.

    There is snow in the horrorcast for the next 3 days. I know, I know, it's all MY fault. Over the weekend I got my bike all back together and ready to ride, then I packed away all of the snow shovels for the summer, then I even put away the snow brush and ice scrapers from the truck.

    Well then it is a spotting scope mount for the rear-view mirror so that you can keep tabs on the 2nd gens following you.

    There are a lot of mascot costumes that will not fit on the bike. These are getting hard.
  20. Flyinfool
    Not even close. I was thinking of a cat eating a tangerine in the Dominican Republic But then I have always been a little different.
  21. Flyinfool
    Universal fit.
  22. Flyinfool
    It is so obvious. I can't believe no one got it yet. . . . . . . . It is a thingamabob, for the doohickey.
  23. Flyinfool
    Or you can send the pics to me. I don't have one of those temperamental Macs, just a good old Intel job that does what its told.

    The wheel is a great Idea. I suppose I could add a metal caster and I would double as a wheelie bar......

    I'm certain it is repairable. I spent the day getting other parts done. I will let you know once I figure out how big the patches should be.
