  1. Make sure the CB is turned off also. Check the ground bolt on left side of the radio.
  2. Really hate this. I'm so glad we got to eat breakfast with Bob Sunday after MD. Prayers up.
  3. Trying like hell to get this last show set done to make it. Y'all may see a crazy Kentuckian yet.
  4. Sorry to hear this Don. Prayers up they find it along with an easy fix.
  5. Sorry, I somehow read into this it was a 2nd gen. I had a DUH moment.
  6. With a 34 inseam (same here) you might like the leveling links to raise the rear, it helped mine.
  7. Prayers up.
  8. Some lower the front, some raise the rear, some use a 130 front tire or a combination of these to help. I raised the rear and went to a car tire and couldn't be happier. I often set at a stop lights with only one foot down with no problem. That being said I have long arms and legs so I have extra leverage, that helps more than most realize. One of my firefighter's was behind me recently and his wife told him my RSV looks too small for me.
  9. Have you tried a lowering kit? I have one I took off my bike.
  10. Thanks Don, you've definitely earned the $12 this year
  11. Good to hear that. Thanks Tom.
  12. I agree with all that, it's more the government and politics that scare me. The future of the next generations is what I worry about. That being said congrats on where your kids are, it starts at home. I hope the future of mine stays on path, I have one in med school to be a surgeon. and a senior in high school looking at aerospace engineering schools.
  13. Right next to the flux capacitor.
  14. Happy Birthday you old fart.
  15. I made a bracket off the rear bolt of the passenger footrest and put it there for another option. After that I built passenger foot pegs and built the wolo mount into that.
  16. No argument with that. Scares me what happening with this one.
  17. Boy, y'all are showing your age. I wasn't born until 8 months after this.
  18. Has it been painted or plastic from an older bike installed?
  19. You do realize that you Canadians sound fast because you measure speed by measly little kilometers while we measure miles right? 100 to you is only back road speeds to us. I'm guessing spellcheck got you changing Opal to Apollo.
  20. Ya gotta speak 2nd gen to understand. I don't know if they make one for them there three wheelers, or if they even go fast enough to need an accurate speedo. I was using the GPS for a speedo and phone call integration but I want it gone. Do you know what that big word "integration" means or do you need an interpreter for that too?
  21. There's just something about the feel of those burners. Guess that's why I never got over about 33 mpg on my 86. Not to mention short rear tire life.
  22. I just received my DRD from Amazon, they've changed the design so the online instructions don't work correctly. The included instructions aren't as clear as they should be so it took awhile to program it. If you order one read the book front to back (4 pages) and be prepared to jump back and forth to do the steps. The orange LED for resetting it referred to in the book didn't exist. Once I figured it out it is dead on now. My next step is to order a Bluestreak from Edsets that will integrate the phone into the bike's audio and I can then get the Garmin off the bars. It's only there for the phone anyway.
  23. There are multiple synch gauge set ups out there for sale for diy jobs, I use a simple two bottle homemade rig. Read in the tech library for instructions, it's not hard to do. You can buy the tools cheaper than 4-6 hrs of stealer labor and do it yourself. I check mine a couple times a year, once you do it once it's quick and easy.
