    You will find out soon enough that a gallon is TOO much oil. I even use a longer filter than stock and a gallon would still overfill it by a good bit. When the bike in the perfect upright position, you should see the oil level about half way up in the site glass. If you fill it more than that, you are going to end up with oil in your air boxes. It's not a matter of if...only how soon.

    I do like it but I don't wear that type belt. I would like to have one for my chaps but not sure about the brown buckle on my black chaps....hmmmmmmm

    HEY...is that ME? OUCH...I'm getting death threats.

    I figured you would. That's why I changed it.

    I would love to be able to help but just haven't run into that problem before. You said you checked all the fuses but are you sure? You do know that the Venture has two fuse boxes, one under the left side cover and one inside the right front lower cowling. I'm not sure where the CD gets it's power from. To be honest, most of us did away with the CD changers long ago and went with MP3 players and/or Satellite radio.

    OH....I made the bighug smiley smaller too.
  7. Freebird
    I replace the big head smiley with a small version. Unfortunately, it doesn't look so good after I made it so small. Oh well. If you are still seeing the HUGE one, you need to clear your browser cache.

    hmmm....works fine from here. Maybe something to do with your browser settings? Try switching to Mellow Yellow and then hold the Ctl key while clicking "refresh" on your browser.

    For what it's worth, I hate that huge one with the waving hands also. I'm thinking that it may go away very soon.

    You can get studded or non-studded from: Diamond R Accessories http://www.diamondraccessories.com or Utopia Products http://www.utpr.com Diamond R is a great friend to our club.

    hmmm....I can't explain that one. I have it hard coded into the program so it should be there all the time. UNLESS you are talking about on the home page or pages other than the forum. I only have it coded into the search drop down here at the forum. Hadn't thought about that before. I'll try to add it to the home page also.

    I like them. Will be ordering a couple soon. Thanks for doing this.

    Not only is it possible, it's been there for YEARS. When you look at the listing of posts, on the far left are envelope icons. If the envelope has an arrow on it, that indicates a thread that you have posted in.

    It may be an expensive solution to what you are trying to achieve but my Edset headsets can be used that way. The module has a 1/8" stereo jack that you can plug earbuds into. Then you can even unplug and remove the regular speakers if you want to. You can even order the Edsets without the speakers and use your earbuds. I have not yet tried them with earbuds but do plan to.

    There are a couple of ways you can do it. Let's say, for example, that you are seaching for a guy named James. You know though that his last name is not Smith. You would search for: James NOT Smith or James -Smith Here is a pretty good and easy to understand tutorial on Boolean search terms. http://www.learnwebskills.com/search/engines.html

    OK folks, I've heard a lot of complaints here about the search function on this forum. I have made a change that we can try out. The option to use the "Google" search in the drop down menu actually works very well. Just use that field and select "www.venturerider" and you will usually get good results. HOWEVER, I have also added Boolean search capabilities to the regular search. Some won't know what that is so let me give a simple example. If you enter 1999 RSV in the search box, it will search the site for every instance of 1999 and every instance of RSV. With Boolean enabled, you can use quotation marks around the term to better isolate the results. In other words, you would type "1999 RSV" in the box and now it will search for that exact term instead of any instance of either word. For those of you who are more advanced with this stuff: This permission allows Boolean searches, which includes the usage of AND, OR, and NOT to limit results. This option can be server intensive for very large forums so its usage is cautioned.

    By the way....it was YOU who gave me those dates. What a pain in the butt you are. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showpost.php?p=265067&postcount=18

    Hope the humor here has helped some but I also know how much pain you are in. I didn't break mine but severely bruised it a few years ago and it was NOT a pleasant experience and took a couple of months to heal. I know that Eddie bruised his a couple of years ago. I remember him showing up for maintenance day and some of the members were kind enough to buy him an inflatable "donut" and wrap it with aluminum foil so it would match the rest of the chrome on his bike.

    It was 2.39 here on Friday. May have dropped a bit more since then. That was at the nearest station where I normally buy gas. May be cheaper at some other stations.

    LOL....that's not likely to happen. The Harley site hasn't exactly taken off and I almost killed it after the first year. I decided to give it one more year but it's just not doing much. Mostly my fault probably as since I don't have a Harley, I don't put as much time into it as I should. All riders are welcome here and I hope we make folks feel welcome regardless of what they ride.

    Beautiful bike. I looked at one just like it last spring but just couldn't do it. Harley has added some nice features over the past few years, I'm sure you will love it.
  22. Freebird
    You are right about that one. I'll see if I can figure out the problem in a day or so. Thanks.
  23. Freebird
    Sorry...wish I could help but I'm seeing absolutely no problems from here. I'm going to say that it's not the software here that is causing your problems. All the enhanced features are working great as far as I can tell and there is no deleting of paragraphs and etc.
  24. Freebird
    I agree. I would expect that a dealer will charge at LEAST $250.00 and possibly a bit more. Sorry, I've never had a dealer do it so can't tell you for sure.

    I actually did get a message back from him. He told me that he would send the rest of the money next week. We'll see...I'm not going to lose any sleep over it either way. Yes, I did choose delivery confirmation on this one.
