  1. Thank You!!!! My last ride before I put the bike up last year. I suddenly had a very loud squeal coming from the front end. I immediately broke from our group and pulled over in a parking lot, and could not find any problems with the front end. Drove it the 15 miles the rest of the way home. I figured it was the speedo cable. Have not torn into it over the winter, but it is getting close to the time to ride again. It looks like the speedo needs grease, which this thread helps out considerably.. THANK YOU. Ed
  2. I agree, One GREAT commercial..
  3. I just wanted to add the ST2610 that I have isn't waterproof, I keep a ziplock bag handy in case it rains, but I was caught in the rain last weekend for a really good downpour and didn't have the space to even pull over to put rain gear on or cover the GPS and I had no problems.
  4. Look into the Garmin Nuvi 500 or 550, They are alot cheaper ( around $200) then the motorcycle units and are waterproof. Then get the ram mount. Actually Garmin sells the accessories to mount them on your bike too. I have a Garmin Streetpilot 2610 ( now discontinued ) but it works great. Mounted with a ram mount.

    ABS Glue

    I have only found the black glue for abs plastic..
  6. I finally gutted my cassette player and wired for an mp3 player, as some post have been showing. When I connected everything back up. My radio is stuck on one channel, unfortunately the last channel I was on is Not my favorite. none of the preset channels work now, and they were not able to program them anyway from the previous owner, because the memo button didn't work. I used the scan button all the time because of that. I don't think it is related to the mods I did. BUt I would surely like to use the radio. Any suggestions? As far as the mp3 player connections. the volume is so low I can barely hear it any suggestion on that problem as well?
  7. Cindy, I am fairly new here, and don't know any of ya'all personally. But have been following this post and the other for a couple of days. wondering what this was about. Your statement made it clear. As a father of 2 girls, I could not imagine going through what you and your husband did, I don't know how I would have handled the emotions I would have felt. Your statement brought tears to my eyes as I read it. With your courage I know that your Haylie will have the best care growing up with this nightmare. My prayers are with you and your family. EddyG
  8. Yes, please check them, It caused more damage then just the stand. I would say the bolt is most important, The bolt showed signs that it was cracked before the fresh break from yesterday, Go figure it's holding up 800+ pounds all the time. The sidestand itself was a clean break that didn't show signs of any kind of crack prior to the break. Thank you all, I have a good used one on the burner.
  9. I go to leave work, I unlock the steering and move the handlebars to hook up the GPS. And my bike falls towards me and over on the engine guards. After picking myself and the bike off the ground I found the side kickstand broke. In doing so broke my left highway floorboard in half my driving light but no plastic was damaged. I now am looking for any of you that might have a spare kickstand and bolt. Please I looked it over and the bolt appears to have been cracked for awhile, and probably broke and then one of the kickstand ears couldn't handle the weight and gave out.
  10. That's just dumb. Can't tell me that was his only vehicle. I read the title and thought a goldwing hit a ladder on the highway. I was heading home from a day trip with my wife yesterday, and in the middle of the road was a 10 foot ladder. I started imagining what would happen if a bike would hit it. Like I can imagine if someone clipped this guys ladder while he was riding.
  11. I don't post much either, only when I do have a problem, or trying to figure out something. I am a cheap guy, watch my money. But, I agree that the $12 was the right price, and well worth the knowledge I have received from this site. I would like to meet some of you from the Kansas City area, but have not yet seen a meet & great or even a Bike run. Hopefully soon. THANKS DON!!!! Great site.
  12. So glad your alright, After the deer broad sided us last year we only try to ride an hour after sunrise and home or stopped an hour or more before sunset. That's when they do the most running here. Deer Whistle's do not work, been proven time and time again. I hear Loud pipes help, just haven't got myself to put any on. I like to hear the radio.
  13. Tim. I have a couple of aviation headsets laying around collecting dust, pulled the mic out wired it with stereo headsets into my helmet, since it is an electre mic I am sure it won't work from what you have said, and others I have talked to. What would I need to do to get it to work? Have you gotten that far? Eddy
  14. I am also looking for any pin outs for the 5 pin headset connectors, I know someone out there has them. Please
  15. I found some of what I was looking for here http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21667 but if anyone has something they did since this post that might work better I would be all eyes. and ears still.
