    You know there are some folks with a lot of cash in their pockets. I didn't watch it but I know they were saying about NY being the underdog. Good for all you New Yorkers

    I too like it, there is a LOT of grille there, I wonder how aerodynamic it is??

    Gene, If you haven't got it ordered yet, go with the PCW. I have done 4 of them both on 1st and 2nd gens and they work great It's an easy and inexspensive job that I can usually have done in 30 minutes and thats having a beer in between

    They will fit all years from '99 to present I'll get a set made that will work just fine

    I had what Blues lover has on my '99. It worked great, but I would get the thicker 3M 2 sided tape as it will need it for the curve of the trunk lid

    I wont go into the size advantage, but I have run the narrow Avon Venom front on my deceast '99. The one thing that I found was in a good cross wind, the bike was pushed all over the place. This was no fun when your touring 2K miles from home as it beats the crap out of you. I went back to the stock size on the Michelin Commanders that installed and put a set of leveling links on. It handles quickly like the narrow front, but gives more patch of tire on the road and was more stable to me. This is all subjective as there are many different riding styles, whats right for me might not be for you. But I will say that I wouldn't go with both leveling links and the narrow front tire unless you plan on playing in the twisties a lot and are solo a lot. Just $.02 worth here $.0186 Canadian

    Big Shell is right on track, I would say that if I were to do 3 they would be Lights in the front/additional rear brake light Backrest Clearview shield (if your running 2 up, momma will love you for it) Lots of stuff you can do, and the tire thing, well we could go on and on with that. But loosing the Bridgestones would be a priority, I like the Avon Venoms. Keep coming with questions and search the 2nd gen tech library and forum...we'll definitely help you spend your money

    Eck is a standup guy, not that his head needs any bigger He's a good friend to both my wife and I, it doesn't surprise me to hear of him doing what he did for you. Always good to hear of a brother that passes info and time on to help folks

    Just wanted to give you 1st genners an update. I found a box with about 70 more blanks for the DLB's as I said this will be until I run out of them, but there are a few more now. Price is still $30 shipped in the US and $5 more if to Canada. ...just though I would share this info

    Hey Folks, I have been wanting to talk with all the 2nd Genners who are interested in the Roadking muffler brackets. I have been out for a while and not able to make any since the accident. I have had a few that needed finishing, but they have been spoken for since the beginning of the year. I want to talk about the brackets themselves for a minute. I went to order some more material to make them. I have been using 10 gauge Stainless steel, but the price of it has jumped 3 fold Now I dont want to raise prices as I believe that $40 for the complete set is about as high as can be reasonable expected. I make these for the purpose of pure convienece, there isn't a lot of money in them when it all is added together with buying materials and shipping and whatnot. I have looked into making them out of Aluminum, it's plenty strong enough in the 3/16" thickness and will give years of trouble free service. To say the price of material is a lot better would be an understatement. Tell me what you folks think, I dont want to buy a sheet of Aluminum to find nobody is interested....I await your responces

    Very Cool Kreg, I wish I had a big craftsman tool box like yours in my garage She does do exceptional work

    You always seem to have a good vibe on the happening's of the site Don. And as usual put it into a nicely wrapped note. I can't agree more as like you, many folks wouldn't be happy with my views either, but I keep my mouth shut (Yeah I know, Hard to belive) We just have to respect that other folks have a right to think like they do, and they have to respect that of me. The funny thing is, people make decisions on topics and have no idea where their thoughts are based. Society will NEVER have all the information on any subject. The media and the governments will never give all the Truthful info. So you can't make an intelligent decision because you will NEVER have all the facts. This is a motorcycle forum, and I like it that way, if you want news....watch TV

    Hey All, I'm starting to get down to the short strokes on the insurance settlement with the bike. I need 2 items for the bike to ship it when the offer is made and the deal is done. I'm sending off the wheel and tire for examination, so if anyone has a spare rim from a trike project that I could buy, that would be a godsend. The other is the black plastic cover that goes over the ignition on the front of the tank. If you have an old crappy one that you replaced or whatnot that would be fine, it's just going to scrap. I sold the leather wrapped one to one of our members and I like to be honest when I give the bike to the insurance co. If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it, and these items dont need to be in great shape...Thanks

    Kreg, Lonna and I are looking at the same camera that you purchased. It has the twist and flip LED screen right? We have it narrowed down to 2 of them and thats the one that Lonna likes. I personally like a similar Kodak as thats what we have had until I dropped the darn thing and now it wont charge I think that you will like it once you get used to it. It has a great Optical zoom and I have read some very good reviews of it

    I had one hell of a shock when I ordered Canadian Bacon over there for the 1st time. God a piece or round meat about the size of sliced salami I know better now

    Thanks for the effort Rick, sorry to hear of your friend. I know Don has your valve on his '99 and seems to like it. I do hope that you get everything you want out of this
