Thank you Kiki, it's good folks all over the planet like yourself that will help this become a reality I also want to thank everbody else that has contributed to this. It's always good when we can make a difference in a life, especially with the bad ass image than many folks give bikers. I am so proud to be part of this group....you folks never cease to amaze me

Buddy is right, a lot of electronics are in the lowers and you wouldn't get any airflow through them so to speak. Peg I dont know if you have these deflecters, but I know many have them on the G2 and are very happy with both their cooling and heat retention respectively. http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/4/83/408/all/1/4607/0/detail.aspx

All depends D I like to change them out every year, that is more than the mfgr says which I think is about 30K. I like to have the assurace of the bike performing at it's best and the price of a set of plugs and an hour's time is negligeable in my book

I put a leather bag on the front of my '99 and had these tools in it Dual side wrenches (meaning 2 sizes on 1 wrench) in 8, 10 12 13 14 and 15mm 4 in one screwdriver (4 bits in the handle) 8" Cresent wrench (which doubles as a hammer ) Small slip joint pliers 3/8" Ratchet w/small ext. and the same size sockets as the above wrenches plus a 17 and 18 mm This little kit from Canadian tire (this is an awsome little kit ) http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524443279726&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396672892&bmUID=1200670870963&deptid=1408474396672839&ctgrid=1408474396672844&subctgrid=1408474396672892 Metric allenheads Electrical tape and lengths of electrical wire Thats about it, it may seem like overkill, but when you end up 2K away from home, sometimes you just need a warm fuzzy about your ability to fix a problem Oh yeah the cell phone and CC are there too

Good to see you on again Thumper We do miss you folks here and I have stopped by Mags site from time to time. When we get down that way we'll work on catching up with you folks. Be safe and could you PLEASE send some damn heat up here!

Do you have one of the new thin notebooks Lynn?
-
In our day and age it is awsome to see that folks will step up to the plate. Thank you Kevin (KR1) for your time and effort, this place is what it is because of folks like you
-
I just heard yesterday that the battery in it is sealed in and YOU cannot remove it. It has to be sent back to apple for them to replace it. Mind you this is just hear say but that wouldn't surprise me at all
-
We have a winner!!! You can't take out the front plugs without the Tank off and the dogbones removed. I'll rewrite that....I dont know any other way to get the plugs out besides the previous statement
-
Hey Don....just wanted to say Hi Oh yeah...I got my ding a lings too, good job POP's
-
Lets wait and see what comes of it, we weren't there and dont have all the info about it. I know where Yammer is coming from, but he's in a whole different world inside with them. This thread is going ok right now, but let us not take it down a dark path
-
Fred, What you could do, if it doesn't already have one, is install a trans cooler. This helps keep the temp down and will assist in making the trans last as long as possible seeing your pulling stuff with it
-
I agree with Dale on this one also, my friend did GM trannys for many years and has said the same thing. I did exactly the opposite on a Ford van and changed the fluid out less than 3K later the trans was slipping. Let it be until it pukes and then worry about if it's worth it to rebuild it.
-
I'll refrain on saying anything smart alec and just say....good luck and an easy time to you
-
Good one POP!
-
Really?? I would have to see one in person, I really like my G2's...specially when they aren't in pieces
-
One without no wheels...yeah you bet
-
Ummmmmm NO!

LOL:confused24:
-
Welcome to our world...now multiply by 120
-
It would seem weird to see him on one of them
-
If you can wait you'll get more money for the parts in another month there Bud.

The biggest thing to remember is that you have to have the power to push to the speakers or they will distort the louder you go. The stock amp on the bike doesn't push much, this is why some folks have gone with the EQ amp combo and matched up the speakers to the power output of what they purchased. My next G2 will have a sterio upgrade, more than likely with some Boston acoustic speakers front and rear
