Here's a bit more about them. https://www.advrider.com/report-bikebandit-bankruptcy-raises-serious-questions-customers-left-holding-the-bag/

I've bought from them in the past also. The bad thing is that their website is still up and they are still taking peoples money. You can read more on their Facebook page. Hundreds of people have been ripped off. They placed orders, BikeBandit accepted the orders and never sent the parts. No way to reach them by telephone or email. They filed bankruptcy in February but people have been waiting on refunds since mid last year at least. Yet they are STILL taking orders. They should be hung.

I know that many of us have bought from BikeBandit over the years. Just ran across this. The article went on to say that the company has disappeared with about $650,000 of customers money

Never tried it or even thought about it. I've had a couple of RSVs that I put the Corbin backrest made for the RSV on. My wife liked them. Somewhat similar to that one.

Luvmy40 is correct of course. You can't take them apart without destroying them but it is typically just the o-ring and doesn't require disassembly.

They made a great hitch. They were a bit overpriced and we had a member here that started making them. They were just as good and much cheaper. I don't think he makes them any longer though.

Looks good. He definitely made the best looking one.

Copied to tech library.

Never tried them. I actually like my heel hanging over the back of the highway pegs. It's the first thing that drags in aggressive curves.

Well, there was just no easy way to do it. There is a "shelf" sort of thing about 1/4 - 1/2 inch down inside the fill spout. No way to get anything in the tank to suction it out. So the bad news is that I had to take it apart to remove the tank. I think I got all the grass out of it. Then rinsed it very well with water and then put about a half gallon of gas in it and sloshed it around really good to get as much of the water out that could. Then put it all back together. The good news is that it wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined. I still need to pick up a new filter tomorrow. Now I just need to clean this thing up. It's really nasty.

OK...I screwed up. Late last summer I bought a new John Deere X380 mower. Somehow, either I left it off or didn't tighten it, I found that the gas cap was off and the tank apparently got a lot of grass in it. It will run about 10 or 15 minutes and then I have to remove the fuel line and blow through it to get it to run another 10 or 15 minutes. It appears that the only way to get the grass out of it is to remove the tank which is a major ordeal. I think that is what I will have to do but thought I would ask here to see if any of you have another solution.

Very nice. Great handling, low center of gravity, tons of torque.
