I cant get them either when on my iPhone. They work on my laptop, problem is I use the phone usually.

Hey Skid are you coming to Don's? I have a set with P clamps. Not sure what they are but I went back with originals when I bought the bike, I like mine quiet.

I talked to a friend today here in KY whose parents live just off this road. I just mentioned the area and he immediately said "you have to ride 19 on your way thru". He doesn't ride but knows the area well. Thanks again.

A trick I use in spots like that is to thread a long stud or a bolt with the head cut off into one side to help line things up. Then just back it out once I get a few bolts started. Lined up many car transmissions that way in my younger days.

I'm sure you know but I'll mention it anyway, when you set the cases together they should meet up flush without forcing them. Had a friend to try to pull case halves together with the bolts when it didn't seat correctly, it's a sick feeling to hear when that aluminum cracks. He didn't have something aligned correctly and broke the case bad enough to have to buy a new one.

If I'm running on schedule for the SS that looks like a great detour. Thanks. Will definitely try to make the time.

Thanks. We're are also thinking we may come back through there a little slower and ride WV on the way back from Freebird's next month.

I had tentatively set aside some time to head out and do a loop through Mobile AL Friday and knock out an SS ride. Weatherman says high 80s and sunny there, not ideal conditions. My second route is to go through Nashville and Knoxville to Wytheville VA, up to Charleston WV, and back across KY to the house. Looking at 2 weather maps, one says great weather that way with sunny skies and temps in the 70s and the other says rain. This week is my best chance to do this before the dr cuts me loose to go back to work, with 5 months of being off the catch up will keep me hopping for a while. Ill be running the slabs the whole way, anybody have any input on I81,77, and 64 in the Virginias?

T-5weeks and counting so a shameless bump.

Glad to hear it went well. It's never an easy thing to do. Been thinking of your family a lot today.

In my limited thinking the clutch switch should be out of the picture in neutral. I haven't studied the schematic but I would start checking electrical connections through the start circuit starting with the neutral switch. Some of the electrical gurus will have better ideas than me. What year and model is it?

Will it start with side stand up and clutch pulled? The only time I start in neutral is when I'm backing out of the shop, I always park in 1st, clutch it, crank, n go.

Both issues are normal for these bikes. To correct the speedometer I know of two items available, the speedohealer and SpeedoDRD. Both have good reviews but the DRD is cheaper. Try this on the cruise: hit the set button and immediately rock the switch up in the resume position. That seems to work for most and is a habit I don't even notice anymore. I use the cruise a lot and it works for me.

Saw this near Wickliffe KY n remembered the challenge. How bout for Memorial Day your bike and a military monument.

Hannigan has a 2000 with a new conversion on it with less than 40k on it for $14,575. Being local it pops up on all my feeds.

There's a 2000 with matching trailer that keeps popping up on marketplace in Biggars AR with only 17800 miles for $12000. Been on there a while I'm not in the market but it keeps catching my eye. I don't know if it's a Hannigan or not though.

My stable has a good mix, the business has the F250 and a Z71, I have another Z71, wife's Jeep Cherokee, daughters have a Nissan Sentra, and a Dodge Avenger. It's the second F250, is used the least, and costs the most to keep on the road. I do have to say the 1st 2000 F250 had plugs changed at a fairly low mileage and never spit one. That #%\ concrete truck that rear ended me didn't do it any good though.

Sold within hours of listing.

Unfortunately I know all about the fix, it's the 3rd on in this truck and I've fixed a few for friends. I really think the PO of this truck waited way to long to change them the first time and maybe damaged threads. The plugs in it now were well torqued and still an issue. Ford screwed the pooch on this design not putting enough threads in an aluminum head making it too easy for this to happen. I've owned a few Fords over the years and this will be the last, I've had too many problems with their designs. I'll deal with Chevy rust anytime, rust won't leave me stranded unless it's in a gas tank.

Got out yesterday to go to dr appt in the Old F250 since the Chevy was hooked to a trailer loaded with my tractor and equipment, blew a spark plug. Have I ever mentioned how I dislike Ford? Short on time meant jumping on the RSV and heading out in light rain. Not liking what doc said (not serious but still not liking it) I took off out of town headed for nowhere. A few hours, three storm cells, and 175 miles later I made it home with a dirty water spotted Venture.

Found a 5500 mile 06 Midnight for sale near me $4000. Garage kept with a passing light bar, spoiler, and trunk rack. Maybe more but that's all I see in pics. Looks dusty in pics but supposed to be mint. I'm not in the market but had to pass it along. Pic shows it with lights on so I ASSUME running. Oh the antennas are backwards. Be glad to look at it for somebody interested.

No more miles than you're showing I'd run the stickiest I could get. Wear doesn't look like it'll be an issue so much as age. I changed to the darkside because I was buying 2 tires a year, mostly because I can't seem to control the throttle on launch as I should not due to super high mileage.

First suggestion is that bike needs ridden more. I have the HF bike jack that works well for me with the adapter Carbon One makes. I built my own but everybody brags on his.

Love that blue bike. My 2nd gen is blue/black and my 86 says blue on the title but was painted black before I got it.
