    I rode a screaming eagle road glide last summer with my bride on the back. Within a half hour of back road 25 mph cruising, she couldn't take the heat on her right leg to the point she had to put her leg up on mine. Other than that I liked it just fine.

    The Mustang seat has been great for me. It moved me forward about an inch and got rid of the stabbing pain between m shoulder blades, and took the pressure off my tailbone.

    Yes NYC is about an hour and a half away. I'm right in Stroudsburg and my number's in the member directory, if I can be of any help.

    There is regular bus service to NYC from Delaware Water Gap. That is only 5 or 10 minutes from Shawnee on the Delaware. If you like casinos, Mt. Airy is about 15 minutes from where you're staying.

    You can wire in a flasher through a single throw two circuit toggle switch and feed it to the wires for the two rear turn signals. Everything will fit under the seat, and you can mount the toggle switch through one of the side covers. I hope this helps.

    NC is a reference to USS thread, NF refers to SAE thread.

    The Dragon is a fun ride, but you won't catch me going down there between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

    I've ridden all the roads you mentioned and they're all great in their own ways. Iron Mountain and Needles are much more scenic, but for all out riding and testing your ability and your bike's capability few places rival the Dragon. That boils it down to simplest terms.

    I used to have severe pain between shoulder blades after any extended riding period. I installed a Mustang seat to relieve the pressure on my tail bone, and the riding position is a little closer. The pain between my shoulder blades is also gone. I just did a 720 mile day and no pain.

    I survived!

    We spent a week down there in May. If anyone is looking for a nice private place to stay in that area, check out www.dunksplace.com . Jim was great to deal with and it's like having a home away from home.

    Just a suggestion for anyone drilling out the cap. If you slip a piece of vacuum hose over the bit with just about 1/8" of the bit exposed you won't do any damage.

    S100 makes some amazing products.

    Highway pegs mounted on the engine guards did the trick for me. When it's cold you're protected. When it's hot hang your feet out and let the wind blow up your pantlegs.

    Stuff him full of apples and keep him smeared with jelly and he'll be juicy and sweet!!!!

    if you synch with the idle too slow and follow the factory manual, the screw they tell you to turn to synch # 1 and 2 is actually the one for 3 to 2 and the screw they show for 3 to 2 is acually the one for 1 to 2. This will cause exactly the condition you are describing. I literally pulled my hair out for 2 days until some kind soul on this site clued me in on Yamahas misprint.

    I ran into the same problem a couple years ago. If you synched it using the factory shop manual, it shows the wrong screws for the carbs you are trying to synch. It sounds like you have the left front throttle plate completely closed. There is a post on here someplace on which screws to adjust in the proper sequence.

    If you turn the mixture screws all the way in you will have no fuel in the idle position. If you open the throttle it will run, poorly.

    You will get it quieter if you wrap it loosely.

    I use a Tom Tom One. At less than $200.00 it's a great deal. Suction cup mount to the windshield. Hasn't fell off yet.

    I switched out to a mustang seat last year. It made a huge difference, and my wife loves it. The origional seat is like riding a brick.

    I only did the rear.

    I installed the Barons kit on my 2005 RSTD a couple years and 25000 miles ago and have been very happy with it. Others on here don't like it.

    It's very important to place the bell as low as possible on the bike so gremlins have less chance of regaining their grip as they fall off.

    For anyone who may be interested, Next Sunday November 4 is the CHOP toy run. It is one of the greatest events of the year. For the last few years, it has drawn in excess of 100,000 bikes and provides enough toys to supply the hospital and local childrens charities for the entire year. The meet point is on Columbus Blvd by Penn's Landing right off RT 95. the gathering starts at about 9:00 am and the parade kicks off at 12:00 noon and proceeds through the city with all roads being blocked off for the event and ends at the hospital where you drop off your toy and are greeted by hundreds of smiling children who don't often have much to cheer them up. Come one come all, then go home and give your kids a big hug and be glad you have your problems and not theirs. I hope you'll excuse me now as I get off my soap box, but this event is very close to my heart as I have first hand experience with the care provided at this facility to some of the sickest children in the world.
