I've bought my last two Garmins from PCNation and they have always been great to deal with.

Open carry has been legal in Arizona for a LONG time I think. I was out there often on business about 10 and more years ago and it was not unusual to see a sidearm strapped to the side of a motorcycle in the Phoenix area. I have no use for a rig like that but it sure looks good.
-
Heck George, I can't imagine that anybody within this group would do something like that. Besides, I get the feeling that SOME folks around here have already been bopped on the head a few times too many.

I'm sorry that I don't have any specific recommendations for you but the auto parts stores have a number of products that are specifically designed to remove scratches. I've not used them so am not much help. Any good detail shop should be able to help also.

Saddlebag Trim End Caps

Good luck. I needed one a couple of years ago and ended up finally finding a single rail on Ebay off a wrecked bike that I was able to buy CHEAP just to get that part. -
Yes, I knew you were but I was just afraid that SOMEBODY might not have known you were. No problem.

First the disclaimer...I have never done this. That being said, I wouldn't think that 150 degrees F would hurt anything at all. I would bet that the internal temps on these thing reach that high often on some of the hot 100-110 F days in the South.

I just felt that I needed to respond to this. For those who have never been to one of my Maintenance Days. It is NOT a drunken festival. Yea, there are some folks who will sit around and have a few drinks in the late evening but I've NEVER seen anybody really staggering around drunk and there are no problems with folks over doing it. This is a family oriented event and such behavior would not be tolerated by me or most of the other members present.

That appears to be a good number. Here is one link for it. http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/Y-4XY-88157-00-00.html By the way, this thread reminded me that I needed to order one. Mine has been missing for at least a couple of years. My wife doesn't often use it but she has never even mentioned that it was gone. Apparently she just pushes on the threaded rod and thinks nothing of it. I just ordered one though.

Glad you found the wiring diagrams. Don't hesitate to ask if you run into anything you need help with. These folks have seen pretty much everything when it comes to these biikes.
-
HEY...if I tell everything I know all at once...you folks wouldn't need me any more. Actually...if I told everything I know...it would only take about 30 seconds.

Folks, this thread IS in the "Jokes and Humor" forum. I see nothing at all wrong with it. Just as a reminder to anybody who doesn't like seeing it though, all you have to do is click on "thread tools" and then select "Ignore this thread". That goes for all threads in any area. If you see something that you would rather not have popping up, you can always "ignore" it. You can also go to your UserCP and the "Edit Options" and hide entire forums to your ignore list.

I understand that the button is now available from the dealer. There are also other solutions. See this thread for several ideas. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24840

You will find the part numbers here for the lights: http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/4/83/408/all/1/241/0/detail.aspx and here for the visors: http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/4/83/408/all/1/107/0/detail.aspx http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/4/83/408/all/1/117/0/detail.aspx Once you get the part numbers, you can enter them in Google to find the best deals. Also check Ebay, you can often find them new on Ebay at decent savings.

Interesting. I guess mine was pretty much true but a couple of the others would have been also.
-
We need to see pictures of course. If it is in decent shape, that is probably a good price. The alternator would be something to check though. I know that Honda had some issues with the alternators on some of the Wings and the main thing was that I think the engine had to be pulled to repair them. I'm not sure what year models were affected though. I'm sure somebody else will chime in with the answer.

Your daughter will certainly be in our prayers. There is nothing in this world that is worse than seeing one of your children suffer.
-
Well heck...only you can really know the answer to that but the way you describe the situation, I would say that yes, you probably made a mistake. Now I LOVE my Bushtec though.

hmmm.....Mustang?

OK...I'm going to give this to MRAF. He is off on a couple but there seems to be little interest in this little game so I'm going to end it. The S90 is actually a '65 model. The maroon Venture is an '89 with VMAX conversion. The Harley is an '86 FXRD. So...all in all...he was pretty dang close. The others are all correct within a couple of years. PM me your address and I'll get the pin in the mail.

They pretty much ALWAYS break. They should be covered under warranty if you bike is still under warranty. There is a rubber bumper that goes into that bottom hole. They should be adjusted so that the rubber bumper just touches the forks, that prevents them from vibrating too much in the wind and cracking so easily. I wish you had posted about this before ordering the new ones. If you paid for them out of pocket, Diamond R makes a much nicer set in Stainless Steel with Stainless Steel brackets that hold up and look much better.

LOL...you don't HAVE any pygmies? I mean....look in the mirr......er....never mind.

hmmm...........weather has been bad...my invitation was probably lost in the mail.

I was sitting here doing my income taxes when I got a call from PayPal. They said that somebody in Germany had tried to use my PayPal debit card this morning for about $75.00 worth of Netflix movies. They caught it and declined the charge. So, now I have canceled that card and ordered a new one. What a world it is that we live in today. I DID finally get my taxes finished and filed. That could have gone better also.

Very nice. Good job. I am copying it to the tech library. Don
