    Thanks for the feedback! I see there are more choices than the ones I initially found. I like the looks of the PolarBear and may end up with one of those, but the price of the Wally world one warrants a closer look.

    I'm looking for a cooler to fit in a 2nd gen saddlebag... you know... doesn't leak, keeps beverages cold. Anyone got something that works well?

    You will also have to shorten the kickstand. A road star kick stand will work after it is drilled for the larger bolt.

    There is an intercom volume setting on the control head, we run ours at about 11-12. The passenger volume also needs to be turned up...

    I have seen the burden of getting an injured rider and his equipment home after an accident. The logistics and expense can be overwhelming for family members. I carry a membership with MedJet Assist. They offer a medical repatriation service to get the rider and his bike back home in an expedient manner from anywhere in the world. I can not say enough good things about this service. Check them out. Disclaimer: I have no association with this company other than I have seen them in action and highly recommend them.

    I have found nothing to move the friction zone. As long as your lines are bled, that's about all you can do. If you upgrade the spring you will have plenty of grip. When I had 2 springs in the clutch the friction zone became too narrow for me and the extra pull required on the lever bothered my hand. I have been looking for adjustable levers but have found none.

    2nd gear... 35mph... medium pressure on front brake... 1/2 mile or so... heats them up a little and removes the glaze. I do it often and I lam not wearing out the pads any faster than anyone else...

    I swapped to LEDs which was my intention all along. I had the same results as you with the original incandescents on the trailer when I installed the 5-4 led converter.

    Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana . He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.2 FM in Ft. Wayne , Indiana , who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won. Hi Sue, Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi. Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. With in a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony, I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate. When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt. I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically. Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because my butt was swollen shut. So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt. Now repeat to yourself, 'I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.' Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish bad day? May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day...!

    Good operating Boomer! Glad you're good to go!
