    You can buy that same cable here from one of our members. BuddyRich has been making and selling them here for at least a couple of years now. I have it on my bike and it works great. I used it with my Zumo 550 and now the 665.

    I'll send an email to the chat host today and see if they can figure out what is going on.

    If you are actually replacing the fairing, that means that 90% of the work is done as far as repacking the head bearings. I would absolutely do it. Most do not have enough grease from the factory.

    That's great news Lewis. She has been in our prayers. Hopefully your bionic woman will be finished with the surgeries for a while. Make sure that she knows we are all thinking about and praying for her.

    I didn't understand what you were talking about until you posted the pictures. You did a good job but I think I like mine the way it is. The thing is, yes, it is not straight with the master cylinder but when I take the bike off the side stand and to the riding position, it is level with my eyesight as is. The way you have changed it, it would not be level when I am riding. I think that would drive me crazy. Good job on the modification but it's just not for me.

    My problem was not with the majority of the content and I agree with some of what is said in the video. Some of the so called "facts" can certainly be disputed but the overall message is one of common sense. The worry I had about it turning political was based upon where the video came from. You simply can't post ANYTHING that originates from the Tides Foundation and then say that it's not political. Anybody who knows anything about them knows better.

    This has been discussed here many times and ALWAYS has resulted in the thread being deleted. This thread has been OK so far. Recommendations were asked for and have been given. The thread is NOT about why anybody chooses to carry, have they ever needed to use their firearm, or any other political or moral discussion. This is NOT a thread to debate the right or desire to carry or whether or not it should be allowed. The fact is, in MANY places it is 100% legal to carry and this member asked for suggestions. This is not a gun debate and if it turns into one, the thread will be deleted.

    Looks like a good start to a car Gary....when is the rest of it supposed to arrive?

    Well, I think that after running this site for almost 7 years now, I have a pretty good sense of what will turn nasty fairly quickly. I know also though that I'm not perfect and do make mistakes. I have restored the video in your first post and we'll see how it goes. If it DOES go the way that I expect it will, the entire thread will be deleted. I hope that I am proven wrong.

    I've gotten a few over the years from members here and knew that they were likely infected with a virus or Malware. I usually just come here and send them a PM to let them know. Then you are not sending a confirmation email to a possible spammer and they would likely appreciate being notified.
  11. Freebird
    I hope you took the time to notify those people. Often they don't even know that they have been infected.

    Sorry folks, this is absolutely and blatantly political. As important as it may be, it will go nowhere but down hill here. Video has been deleted.

    Well, they are certainly different and really sort of cool looking. Very cheap also but that's not always a good thing. I know nothing about them but here is my opinion. They are cheap because they are NOT mufflers in any manner. They are simply a straight pipe with a fancy end. They are going to be VERY LOUD. Even the true mufflers made by Samson, Khromewerks, Barons and etc. are too loud for many people These FTRs clearly state that they are straight pipes with no baffles. I think that there are very few people who would like them on a touring bike.

    I've never heard of them. Do you have a picture or a link to the site where they are sold?
  15. Freebird
    Yes, what Joe said.

    You go to this URL to create your map. Then save it and save it as your "signature pic" in your UserCP. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3920&highlight=states

    Yea, I just went back and looked again. You are right and I agree, I wouldn't order that one.

    HEY...it was MEL who drug age into this thing. It is ALL HIS FAULT. I think we should tar and feather him. Besides, I like having you for a friend. I somehow feel so much younger when I'm standing next to you.

    I'm not following that one. What do you mean?
  20. Freebird
    Yea, but each one takes more ink. I added these to the links page long ago but here are some brass plaques that use rhinestones to indicate where you have traveled. http://www.badgemaker2.com/web_store/web_store.cgi?page=mc_plates.html&category=yes&cart_id=

    Hey....I know a LOT of people older than me....well...I mean...I know SOME people older than me....well....not as many as I used to but there are still a few.

    I got an email asking if I knew where to get the "states visited" patches. I did some searching and found a place that has the patches and you color the states in with a marker. Thought I would post it here in case anybody else is interested. http://www.gmanindustries.com/shop/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=49

    Yes, almost 40, it's a '72 model I think. Has the original 8HP iron Kohler engine. It is a real work horse. It's getting a little tired. I mowed with it one time last summer because I was waiting on a part for my regular mower and it used about a pint of oil while mowing about 3 1/2 acres. Not too bad for it's age. I bought it about 3 or 4 years ago from an older gentleman who had bought it brand new and he took good care of it.

    OOPS....sorry about that. I can't believe you guys went an entire day without reminding me. Anyway, the winner has been randomly drawn and that lucky person is? Leadwolf56 Congrats Kevin

    I've got the bearing and the bushing ordered. Should be here by next winter. Hopefully we won't get TOO much this time and can burrow through it with the SUV.
