    '04 model according to the profile. Likely out of warranty.

    Probably not. First of all, it is a LONG way if he lives in Nebraska. Secondly, we already have a pinstriper did a great job last year and is coming again this year. I think one is enough. It does look great though.

    You will have to change the bases. It's not that the Firestiks are special, it's that the Yamaha antenna mounts are NOT standard. Here is a good link that shows you what is needed. http://bludolphintravel.com/gmg/marshallmod.htm

    Yea...I thought I was going nuts too but then figured it out. He HAD to make us work for it.

    One day this very sensitive, animal loving guy was driving and then he hit a bunny. He got of his car and realized he had hit the Easter bunny, so he starts crying. A couple minutes later a blonde lady drives by and gets out of her car. She asks the man what happened and he told her "I KILLED the Easter bunny!!!" She walked to her car and brought back a can. She sprayed the bunny and a few seconds later the bunny got up, jumped 10 feet and turned back and waved then he did it again and again until he was out of sight. The man asked the woman what the can was. She said "You really wanna know" He said "Yes" Wait for it Wait for it Wait for it Wait for it Hair Spray."Revives Dead hare and gives it a permanent wave"

    I have searched and found absolutely NOTHING on any Michelin Commander II tires except that they are standard on the Indian. I even sent Michelin an email about 4 days ago asking them but have not received a response.

    That magnet just doesn't seem strong enough to me. I tried it and was constantly having to scoot the antenna back into place every few miles. It also has screw holes in the bottom and the mounts are drilled for the holes. What good is the magnet if you need to screw it down also. I'm not sure but I suspect that the magnet is there for if and when you use the unit in your car so that you can stick it to the roof but the screws are there for when you use it on your bike. Although, when I have mine in the car, I just lay it on the dash and it works fine.

    OOPS...I missed that part also. uh....please disregard what I said about the dealer...they DID tell you. Sorry about that. So, I'll just say that it sounds like they did good by you. A lot of shops would have just told you that the bike would not be available until the new parts came in. They went the extra mile and tried to get you riding instead of waiting. Apparently it didn't work out but they made an effort that many would not have.

    Sorry to hear of your problems. In my opinion, it is a dealer problem more than a bike problem. Things can happen. A plug or coil can go bad or many other things. The fact that the dealer just threw a coil on it that is obviously not the correct one and apparently not working shows that they are not very professional. It would be one thing if they told you that they did not have the proper coil and were going to get one ordered and try a different one while waiting but that is not what they did. I would be very suspect of any work they do on it in the future.

    Nice. What year is it? Somebody I'll add something like that to my toy collection.
  12. Freebird
    I don't know of any. The only one that I know of was the one on the head bolts not being torqued properly on the '07 models.

    LMAO

    Well yes....well..I mean no...well...I mean...."trained" is a relative term.

    Geezzzz.....you might want to try staying awake.

    Really sorry to hear it Lewis. You and Charlene have had way to much of this junk on your plate over the past few years. I hope that it turns out not to be as major as it sounds. Lewis, have you considered WHAT might be causing these misfortunes? When I see your avatar, it makes me wonder..hmmmmmmmmmm.......... Is it possible that you are being punished for your support of those Loozianner boys? Maybe change that avatar to a white star on a blue background and just see if things don't get better for you.

    It's been a few years since I installed mine but I remember it being fairly straight forward. I don't think you'll have any problem.
  17. Freebird
    Very good Gary. You should post it as a new thread also so that perhaps more people will see it. Thanks for taking the time to do that.
  18. Freebird
    No, you are correct. I understand now. I didn't realize that you were talking about posting a new message, I was talking about when I look at a thread and the box at the bottom that shows similar threads. You are correct that it does away when you are staring to post a new thread. The only way around it is to right click on the existing thread that you want to look at and choose "view in a new tab" or "open in a new page". Then that leaves your original page there and you can just close the new one that you opened to see the others and repeat.

    Well, I don't know if they have anything that can be made to fit an '83 or not but on my '95 Shadow Ace, I had Leatherlyke bags and I really liked them. http://www.leatherlyke.com/?gclid=CNu34fT2sKgCFYS8KgodR0MVHw Here is a picture of what I had. Actually, I really wish that I still had this bike in addition to my RSV. I really did like it.

    Well the good news is that I offer a life time guarantee on all the mugs that I sell. The bad new? Once it breaks, it's life is OVER so the guarantee would obviously not apply. Now, have you tried putting it back together? They are designed so that they can be taken apart and cleaned. There would have been a little pamphlet somewhere in the bag or in the mug that tells how to do it. If I remember correctly, you just put it back on and press firmly to snap it back together but I'm not sure. And finally, you CAN order replacement tops for them. There may be cheaper places, I really haven't searched, but I know you can order them directly from the manufacturer here: http://highwave.bigcartel.com/product/joemo-xl-replacement-top

    I just tried it on my wife's laptop which is running Vista and it worked fine. Maybe we are talking about two different things. Tell me exactly what you are doing and I'll look again.
  22. Freebird
    hmmm.....I really don't know then. I use Firefox but I just tested it with IE and it worked fine with it also. I just hit the back button and those "similar threads" are still at the bottom of the original thread.
  23. Freebird
    Not picking on you in any manner what so ever...I'm just curious though as to why you have changed your mind? Are you seeing a problem or just being pro-active?
  24. Freebird
    1st and foremost for me. When I do a search or when I post a new topic it gives me a list of threads that have had similar parameters. I love this feature, it is very helpful ..... but..... it only allows me to view one of the listed threads. When I try to go back after reading the thread to view the other threads they are no longer there. Is there a way to make them stay at the bottom of the page so we can peruse all of them before we post? I don't think I'm understanding this correctly. When I go to one of those threads at the bottom, all I have to do is click the "back" button on my browser and they are all still listed. I just click on the next one. 2nd I see where it was mentioned before but is there a way to make a sticky type date for when each post was made, a time date stamp on each individual post? That has always been there. On the left end of the blue bar above every post is the date that it was posted. 3rd. My Valkyrie thread under our user names shows how many threads we have posted or replied to... is there a way to do that too. It is kinda nice to see who has posted . I don't understand what you are asking here. You can click on anybody's username and there is a link in the drop down menu to "find other posts by this user". You can also go to anybody's profile and click on the "Statistics" tab and see all posts and also all threads that they started. If you are talking about a number in the postbit at the top of the thread that simply shows how many posts that user has made, that is a standard feature that the members here voted to have removed. The general thought is that it just causes some people to post for the sole reason of having the most posts. Thanks this is a GREAT SITE you have done a AWESOME job with it and deserve a huge pat on the back... Thank you for the compliment. Please let me know if I have misunderstood what you are asking for in any of these instances.

    Not exactly but it will be off. I have a Speedohealer on my bike also and I love it. Before I added the Speedohealer, I think mine was off about 7 1/2%. The odometers are also off but not by that same amount. If I remember corrected, it read about 4% high. So after corrected the speedo for 7 1/2%, the odometer now reads low about 3 percent. I'm OK with that and much prefer having the speedo read correctly.
