Man, you guys are depressing me. In less than 6 years, I am cashing out!

That is the same trailer I am waiting on here, except I am getting mine at 15% off the sale price of $139.00..... Hopefully it will be here soon. I have my rain-check in hand!
-
Thanks Eck, I'll keep that page. I hope to get started soon if I can get my trailer. I still got to wire the lights and maybe go ahead and get new wheel bearings so I'll have everything ready to go soon. Does anyone know the part number for the replacement wheel bearings? I plan to replace them and add buddy bearings too.

I'm getting ready to start my Harbor Freight trailer project. I have one on order. The store didn't have what I needed so I got a rain check for 15% off the sale price. I was wondering how much longer should I make the tongue than it is now? And is it customary to remove any of the leaf springs? I was thinking there were multiple leafs. Also what other flooring options is there besides going with the diamond plate metal? I'm just looking for ideas, and gathering parts now and should be ready to build as soon as the trailer arrives.....

Glad you're home safe Bob. Good to meet you and your wife. Hope to see you again on the road.....

I had to resolder all the joints inside to fix the E4 error code, but since I went with the progressive springs I never added ANY air to the front shocks. The ride is excellent and you will not get a better ride.

Great news Lowell, if you make West Virginia I'll buy at the DQ..... and I can do that for any VentureRider.org member passing through the area at least one time a year. (sorry but that offer not valid for or includes local members and / or Skid-Ins events)

Check out this thread. It also has some pics of my antenna change. I got a FireStick FireFly FL3. Its only 3 foot tall, but works excellent. Cost was about $25.00 total including shipping. I purchased an antenna and the mount. It fit the hole on the bike perfectly. Even the FM radio seems to work good with it. Hope this helps.... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24485

I'm glad I haven't posted the pics of you doing wheelies at Ashevlle then, she really would be mad.....
-
When was you running 70-75 mph? I was above 75 most of the time just trying to keep up. My fuel mileage was down to around 40 mpg which is unusual for me, but at near 80 mph that is expected....... I mostly get near 48 mpg.

Glad you're OK Craig, but I'm sure it still hurts. Hope everything gets worked out with the insurance company.... Good seeing you agian.
-
No pics of your findings ? ......
-
It doesn't matter how good your radio is or how much power you are putting out, if your antenna isn't tuned properly you are not going to get the signal out...... make sure the SWR is correct.....
-
Just can't stay away from there can you Lewis? Good seeing you again, and the Ms & I are looking forward to next August back at Vogel.....
-
Thank you Rooster....

Only 925 miles round trip and we both had an excellent time. Thanks to all who put things together.........

Yes, a couple years ago they dropped the code requirement.
