Don't waste money on lights and stereo! Yes, more jets is better up to a point. Getting one with the lounge is a must if you want to score points with wife...

Now THIS is am snow blower!!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvR-eaKUVqU]V8 snowblower 126 feet. - YouTube[/ame]

How about an RC snowblower???

The fix was for the production year 1985, NOT 1984!! If you have an '83 or '84 it was not fixed at the factory. Some bikes were fixed under warranty after the factory change and are usually identified by a marking on the frame done by the dealer...

Carl, did you let the cat play with the keyboard again?????

You mentioned inexpensive, so how about Kawasaki's touring bike? You get a lot of features for the price. My vote would be for the Victory CCT myself...

No, that is the last four for 1985 that was fixed...

Now only 2 left... PS sure would have been easier if there was a phone number posted 1-440-775-1111

It's snowing here today...

Hey Eck make sure you stop in and say hi on your way through!!

Eyesight issues?? sawed off 12 ga shotgun for close up, hand grenade for further away. For them close enough counts...

Yup! My bad...

As mentioned the quick and easy way to get Pandora is to just hook up your phone to the aux jack but you can buy a bluetooth box for under $100 and go that route. Many of us go with a Garmin Zumo GPS that has bluetooth in it but be warned the Garmin which is specifically designed for motorcycle use is not cheap. Myself I use XM but I still make up mix tapes to hear specifically what I want to hear. Downside of cassettes is they have to be switched every hour and a half...

Right number, wrong year. The fix was after 1141 for production year 1985...

You could try buffing the shield with plastic polish, I did once. Other wise a new shield should last a long time...

Watch out where the Huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow...;

Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, Hoover Dam, Sedona AZ, painted desert, Route 66, and maybe a bizillion other things...

White! Yah! I watched the 11:00 snooze...

Hello????? I'm bored...

I foresee a new windshield in your future...

Jeff, as long as you can afford it, retirement is a good gig!! Just be prepared to now be REALLY busy! It's a good life! Yes, keep strong in the faith my friend, God is still on the throne and Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow! We are praying for you!!

Part of a ratcheting tie down also makes sense...

The '83 carbs are different from all other years as far as ignition timing goes, so if you switch to different year carbs you will also have to change out the TCI so the timing is right I believe. I forgot where they monitor the vacuum from but it is 180 degrees out of phase with the other years...

Oh great! Now Harley parts will be falling from the sky...

Why are you yodeling Scott, WHY???
