Had a great ride with Sleeperhawk Mechanic and their riding companions, sorry guys on the name block Split off just on I85 and 20 miles out of Charlotte it poured, got soaked...such is life. It's a small pennace to pay for being with the folks you love We'll be here till Wednesday more than likely. Thank you to all who put such an effort into making Vogel happen again this year. Lonna and I have an awsome time and were happy to surprise the majority of the folks. Lewis as always, you did a fantastic job, as well as your entorage.

    Clutch slipping, common, PCW racing, get the upgrade kit and never worry about it again. John Gayne is the owner and it's in Schenectady NY less than $100 and I believe he will ship to Canada

    Larry, Your stands are still the best thing around, well worth the money. It's a fact of life these days of rising costs, buy one and you'll never need another one I say

    Probably paying more attention, I never noticed that there were so many Caprice and Roadmaster wagons until I owned one

    I had a '90 626 GT turbo, that was a FUN car. Didn't care for the automatic trans as I had it rebuilt once, but the car was a rocket when the turbo kicked in. It was comfortable for me and I'm not on the petite side. I would more than likely own another one if the opportunity came along.

    Best bet is to go take one for a ride, I still like the G2 as far as long distance comfort. BMW's are very technology oriented, and are a maintenance nightmare from what I have heard...but thats just hearsay....it's all good

    Thanks for being there for the family, words are definitely hard to come by right now.

    Don't know how much you weigh, but have you tried more pressure in the rear? I ran 40 most the time solo and all the way up to 55 when 2 up and loaded. Still thuink that your shock needs some attention.

    Ain't they cute

    Chris, Another thought is that you need to let the swingarm spring back into it's neutral position. There is a 12mm bolt that tightens the axle shaft on the right side of the bike. Make sure that after you tighten the axle nut and put the cotter key in, you loosen that 12 mm bolt and let the swing arm relieve tension. My #'s in my profile, call if you need to.

    Your rear shock could be the culprit, vibrations and noises have a way of travelling around the bike. If you found some oil under the rear shock I think I would address that 1st seeing your bike is 9 years old. The rear shocks are notorious for going bad.

    Frank, I can only speak personally, but the 1st gens can be a bit uncomfortable depending upon your leg length. I'm not really tall, about 5' 11" with a 32" inseam, but I find my knees dont apprewciate the foot position on the 1st gens, even though I now own an '89. Best piece of advise I can give you is to get a good set of highway pegs that you can stretch you legs out with. The floorboards are hard to come by and really dont change your footing position that much. You might want to think about having Rick Butler redo your seat and I dont know if you have a backrest, but to me that is a must for long times in the saddle. The highway pegs will GREATLY improve your comfort, thats what I would address 1st.

    I fully agree with David here, this seems to be a hot button issue, so please refrain from public bashing here on the site.

    It scares me that a professional dealer can't get a tire on a rim. I have never not been able to mount a tire on a rim, there are lots of trick to make that happen. Atleast you got a tire and are going to Vogel, that will be fun

    I should have read that a bit better, the noise is gone after the lube....my bad, your fine, keep riding. guess I should read a little slower
  24. Squidley
    That doesn't sound like anything I have ever heard....take it into the dealer.
