I enjoy reading the articles and etc. but you have to keep it in perspective. I found that one a bit slanted due to the fact that he obviously had some heartburn over some perceived action on Harley's part to turn their back on him. Some of the things that he said were clearly off the wall and easily disproven. The fact is, many (if not most) people will argue the merits of whatever bike they choose to spend their money on. I've seen claims of the Goldwing being best, the Venture being best, the Harley being best, the Victory being best and on and on and on. It is very easy to find supposedly unbiased opinions supporting just about anything you wish to believe. I would say that for every article a person can find that claims Victory is a better bike, I can produce one that claims Harley is the clear winner. That doesn't prove that one is better than the other. In my opinion, none of it matters. The winner is the bike that puts the biggest smile on your face at this particular time in your life.

I have a Yamaha magnetic tank bag that I'll be giving away as a door prize at my MD. All you have to do is show up and you could own it.

Amazing work. Very nice.

There is no reason that you shouldn't be able to. Are you trying to upload a picture with your ad that is too large? That can cause it to fail.

Still a lot of MAYBE's on the calendar. PLEASE go to the calendar and update your status or register if you haven't done so. We have to put the food order in for Saturday pretty soon.

This is the welcome thread and some won't see your technical questions. Great post but it will get more attention if you put it in the First Gen Tech Talk forum.

You set them on the LOW side to hopefully get more mileage? Don't they tighten up as they wear?

There are hundreds of pictures from previous maintenance days and I looked through them but couldn't find one that showed you actually working.

Sorry. Only supporting members can place ads.

Just for a point of reference. I bought my 2013 Road Glide Ultra brand new. I got it for about $22,500 out the door. In addition to that, I got them to throw in a thousand dollar gift card for accessories or whatever and also a riders backrest in addition to the $1,000.00.

Highly technical....highly technical.

I think I have it working now.

Beautiful color combo. Hope you love it.

Good luck. I installed an amp on the '99 and ended up removing it later. It just really didn't help much. The biggest issue with the Venture is those small speakers. The POLKS are better but still a 5" speaker.

I did loan it out and it was mailed back to me. I'm wondering if I threw it away. I was cleaning the garage a while back and threw away a lot of old boxes and etc. That tool ways almost nothing so I wonder if I threw away the box thinking that it was empty. I know that I'm out of places to look.

You know Eck, I just sold my 2007 Avalanche. It was barely adequate for pulling my boat. I plan to just dock the boat this year BUT.....I just found a pristine 2002 3/4 ton Avalanche and am giving it some serious thought. Loaded with moon roof, leather interior, 4X4, etc. Being a 3/4 ton it has the 8.1 big block engine. I love that engine but gas mileage is going to be worse than terrible. On the other hand, it won't get driven very often so ....... It only has 54,000 original miles on it which is extremely low for a 2002 model. Likely because they couldn't afford to drive it with that 8.1 big block. Sitting here right now debating on it.

LOL.....I'll bet we can.

I told him that he could borrow mine. The problem is, I can't find it. I've been through my entire garage and it's just vanished. The good news is that from searching for it, my toolbox, shelves, etc. are all organized again.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine's a 2013 so I'm good. I've actually had no recalls on mine at all.

I've been in Livonia, MI all week and it has snowed off and on all day here today. What gives? This is crazy.

No problem. Done.

and a GREAT update it is. So glad to see him up and walking. I know it was a touch battle.

You may be jumping the gun. The fix may be very simple. There are a number of things that could be causing this issue. It could be the pins have fallen out of the drum due to a star washer tab. There are others here who will reply with more detail as I've not actually had to do that job. If you are determined to just sell the bike and not mess with it, you will need to become a supporting member to post it in the classifieds.

Well now I've got to add "take the battery out" to my list of things to get done.

Yes, that is the difference. I'm scared to mention it because somebody will use that as an excuse to post another ad and say "hey...I just wanted to talk about it".
