  1. Oh??? Biker Becky terrifies you???
  2. Nice find! I found one at a trailer place, and also did the homemade bracket routine!
  3. Gwashorn, your problem could be your front fairing subframe may be bent preventing the mirror's normal adjustment to go far out enough. ***EDIT*** Oops, just reread your thread and you say you had another 1st gen with the same issue... 'Medic, sorry, had a lot of things going on this weekend and forgot aboutr you. I'll check this morning. You just need the aluminum base piece??
  4. Yah! That's my wife's biggest complaint too! She keeps having it cut shorter and shorter!!!
  5. Darn Brian, you beat me to it!!! Option 2, video camera on fairing with a 7" LCD strapped to your helmet... A really thick pillow???
  6. Yes, as a matter of fact the unofficial official Venturerider motto is we are an eating group with a riding disorder! Well onenut you already know where I am, so let me/us know the next time you are in Olean! Yes, Watkins Glen would be a great meeting place!

  10. Awww, man, somebody has to say it... Nice HARLEY dude!!! Sorry, couldn't resist! It does look great though...
  11. If that is real, that's nucking futs!!! Pure adreniline rush!!!
  12. What Mike says!!! I bought a spare setup like that and kept it in the bike along with a spare set of plugs! There also was a spark plug socket that worked pretty well included in the stock tool kit...
  13. The unfortunate truth is the MK1 brakes were not the greatest! This is why they changed them on the MK2. To do the job right to include the rear caliper as well it gets a little tricky. Just doing the front brakes is pretty much straight forward, just get MK2 forks and switch them over, direct bolt on. Then you can install the 4 piston calipers from a MK2 or better yet, from an R1. You have to change the rotors to MK2 rotors as well. Adding SS lines finishes the job, asnd if you do, get the MK2 set of lines as you will no longer need the short ones for the brake robbing hydraulic anti dive solenoids as the MK2 anti dive is electric. Also with the MK2 lines you will then have the bleeder on the line at the high point near the battery. As mentioned, speed bleeders and a vacuum pump are our friends!! The last thing to do if you convert is to wire up the anti dive solenoids. Eassy job, get a relay and use the yellow brake line to trigger the primary of the relay to ground. Tie the white wires together to the secondary of the relay and bring 12 volts to the other secondary contact. Ground the black wires from the solenoids and you're done!!!
  14. What Earl said!! It does make a significant difference!! To keep the antidive function, just add a relay and use the brake wire (yellow) on the primary of the relay and ground. The secondary is just 12 volts on one contact and both white wires on the other. Ground the black wires and you are good to go!
  15. Ya know, for a thread entitled for her eyes only, over 200 people have viewed this post...

  22. Well, seeing how Big Tom isn't on the site at the moment I'll explain him. Big Tom is a fixture around here just like me. Big Tom is from Alden NY and really IS big, but in many ways. He works for the Erie County Sherriff's department and his job is to protect the judge in and out of the courtroom. If you want to attack the Judge you have to get past him and so far nobody's gotten even close. He is a real teddy bear and kind and generous and is adicted to ice cream! We all love to and he is good at it as well!!
  23. Really?!!?
  24. Geez, you guys are ROUGH!! I should have specified "Cleveland AREA" because a stranger would have no idea where Oberlin is, and if you use the term Founder you better include the rest of them that split from the other site to form this site... Let the thread hijacking begin!!
  25. Have you tried State Farm Jay? I switched to them last fall, lots chesper than Nationwide. I dispise Progressive so much I didn't even bother getting a quote...
