  1. Don. The only problem with camping in your yard is the open air, cold water "shower" that Mini runs.... That is way too rough on a man early in the morning...
  2. Mobile homes and modular homes have vastly different wiring codes than "stick built" houses and buildings have. (Some of these even vary from state to state.) I would bet, that somewhere, there is an explaination for the grounding method that is used in your home. (Whatever it may be.) I would love to see alumium wiring outlawed and the same standard of wiring code used for prebuilt homes as for constructed buildings. With the amount of aluminum wiring that is used, it is no wonder that mobile homes catch fire so often from electrical problems. But I guess the expense of copper wiring outweighs the safety concerns that arise from using cheap materials. :bang head:
  3. There may be a ground lead coming in to the top of the ground bar. I couldn't see the whole bar to tell.
  4. Mine is the Corbin seat and backrest. And the road pegs run a close second.
  5. My 2004 Midnight uses an 1157 base bulb for the front and an 1156 base bulb for the rear. I've purchased the LED clusters from Custom Dynamics for mine, but I need to get the flasher stabilizer so they will flash at the proper rate. :mo money:
  6. My vote is for South Dakota, but that is just cause it is on the way to Washington State. I am going out there next year if it hairlips the devil!!! . I vote for anywhere it can be held. If I can I will make it. If not, then I will try again the next year.
  7. I don't have near as much problem with the sweating issue since I switched to a Corbin seat, so the leather may help. Although, sometimes I do still have some sweating issues caused by the backrest, but then, the Warden is a hot bloded woman... :crackup:
  8. I'm wondering if he really knew just what he was in for when he started this site????
  9. Welcome aboard Alan. It's a pleasure to finally hear form you. We just love that Awesome Aussie that you are married to. She is one more fine woman, so you must be a mighty good man. Looking forward to actually getting to meet the two of you. (As soon as I can talk the Warden into letting me ride Australia:mo money:)
  10. Baron's www.baronscustom.com , has a couple of different water pump covers. I didn't see a ball milled listed, but it might be worth checking out.
  11. I ran a new ground wire, 10ga, from my battery to one of the mounting bolts for the electrical box under the fairing. That is what I use for all of my ground connections.
  12. Hey Steve W. I found those LED/Reflectors like the ones you have on your new ride that you stole. I found them in J&P Cycles and J.C. Whitney. J&P has the best price that I have found so far. Here is the link if you want to take a look. http://www.jpcycles.com/Search/ProductDetail?sku=ZZ33350&N=28004851%20275060&Ne=755118&Ntk=All&Ntt=&Ns=DefaultSort&results=25&No= If that doesn't work the part number is ZZ33350. I like the looks of them, but they are a little pricey. I may have to wait until the Warden starts getting a paycheck from her new job.
  13. That bear was checking to see if Yammer Dan was after his gloves... :rotfl: :stirthepot:
  14. I have had some similar problems with the front bulbs not staying grounded. It seems that water can get in them and start the rust process. I have started using a dab of di-electric grease on the bulbs to try to keep the corosion down. I don't know if it helps with the corrosion issue, but it sure makes it eawier to get the bulbs in and out...

    HEY SteveS!!

    Hey TOM. Ya'll don't want to see it hooked to the bike any more than I do.. I got home with the trailer late on Wednesday night and left the following Friday afternoon for work. Since I am gone a month working, I had to take care of some "honey do" stuff before I left. I plan on getting off work around the 25th of Sept and heading out on a short trip shortly afterward. :banana: I promise to take some pics and get them posted as soon as possible.. :bowdown:
  16. Boomer. You should add "SAWED OFF" to that sentence. It sounds much more menancing...
  17. At my age a vivid imagination is much better than a camera... :crying: :banana: :stirthepot:
  18. Just what do you wear under a toga anyway?? :confused24:
  19. Hey Gunboat. Are you still working on the boats? I've made that salt mine trip a few times myself back in my younger days. Now I work primaryly on the Mississipi River. In fact I am in Davenport IA now, heading for St Paul where it is getting REAL cool... :bang head: I would like to come down and make that tour with you. I've seen the pepper fields, but never the production plant. :banana:
  20. I am so glad to hear that others are helping to take care of the deployed one's family. It shows the "mark" of a man to do that. :bowdown: Boomer, you are selling yourself too cheap. I would have held out for cherry pie...
  21. Nope, that's not it. Dan's bear was black, wearing gloves and his helmet... :stirthepot:
  22. Beautiful animal there Don. I bet it won't be long before she is ruling the roost..LOL Maybe she can do something about the pond monsters...
  23. Well my favorite is actually cherry, wellll, maybe chocolate or is it chess??? And I do LOVE apple and blackberry and coconut. And of course a sawdust, or peach cobbler... just too many decisions. Hey, we are Ventureriders, BAKE IT AND THEY WILL COME.. :banana: Did I mention banana creme??? :stirthepot:
  24. You must tell us what kind of pie it was. It is so important to include ALL of the critical details. :rotfl: Pie at a maintance day?? I'm mapping out my ride to Sleeperhawk's right now. :bowdown: :innocent:
  25. This is going to be crazy, but the wheel looks like it is too far to the left. Isn't there a a spacer that goes in the differental itself??? I would pull the wheel, remove and inspect every piece, then put it back together. The brake rotor should be in the center of the caliper unless the rotor has been removed and put back wrong somehow. Just my worthless opinion.
