Rain X causes warts on frogs !! It should only be used when riding in the desert, you don't want to harm our amphibian friends do you?

You can lighten it but nothing you can do once the stain has penetrated the rubber. Paint or replace.

Like the 2 above said. When in a group ride the lead bike with the help of a tailgunner,has the responsibility to lead the group safely to their destination, depending on the road/traffic conditions he may have felt it unsafe to pull over. I have seen the situation you described even during some of our VRO group rides. Often it's a mix of experienced and novice riders that can create the rubber band effect putting large holes in the group,, that's a rider problem, NOT a Harley problem. Courtesy is optional and often an unknown trait on the roads of America. Like Puc said, all those bikes paid their road tax and have every right to be there.

It's good to have friends Lot's done, now maybe you'll ride it finally Here it's been non-stop wrenching for weeks both mowers down, needed new wiper motor in the Buick. New fork springs, repack head & swingarm bearings, new Commander II tire on front & BF Goodrich TA Radial 155/80-15 on rear. Now 1 rear cylinder is not firing . I think the tractor is now done, coil, points& condenser, fuel pump, valves adjusted. Wiper motor on Buick done. Waiting on parts for push mower

2 lane road? Paved shoulders, city or rural?

Which ds tire did you use? I just mounted a BFG 155-80-15 and I love it.

Oh man, why'd ya have to pick those days I'm leaving for Montana on the 8th Beartooth, Chief Joseph and Glacier are calling for me . I would have liked the opportunity to repay you for your generosity. I hope those other varmits are able to show you some Michigan hospitality. Safe ride Jeff

It's really the only explanation for the symptoms. Most likely is either at the fairing mount bracket or steering stop. Did you add any screws that may have pierced a wire?

Pinched wire somewhere?

Damn!!! I was at one today on the bike, forgot all about the target 😕

Of course you can, don't matter what you ride .

I never really liked them till after Carbon One got T-boned on the trike several years ago, when I saw the way all his belongings were spread out all over the field where his bike came to rest, I changed my mind on using the Star tour pack liner. I now keep my electronic and other items I don't want lost in there. I also use 1 saddle bag liner to keep all my foul weather gear in.

The extended swing arm is to help keep the front wheel down on hard acceleration.

The lightest model is 1080 pounds empty.

Glad you're still here, where else could I have gone for dem awesome rum balls?!

I took my first ride on my darkside tire today, I must say I'm pleasantly surprised, I like the way the bike rides with it, corners & brakes well. Rode home from work in the rain and it stuck like glue. Tried a little hard braking in the rain , you'd need to be deliberate to lock it up! For the most part I couldn't tell anything was different other than it slightly following a few imperfections in the road surface, nothing scary though. Where it really shined was in wet road braking and grip, 5 stars on that! BF Goodrich 155\80-15 TA Radial I think I'm gonna be another convert to the darkside.. PS Jeff the bottle is on it's way back to you.

So sorry to hear this. Jeannie & I offer our sincere condolences.

Not to worry Jeff, the doc's have done this many times before and to them it's no different than doing an oil change on the bike. Will they be installing nitrous system while in there?

Bummer,,, Randy, the damage is already done to the car. Jacking the tree off of it would be a risky job unless you have a front end loader or crane, TREES ARE HEAVY!!! Cut most of the weight off before trying to get the car out. We just had a tree come down in the neighborhood and cut the attached garage in half, taking out 2 cars with it. Took two cranes to lift the tree! Be safe dealing with this.

Head south and east, the farther you go the better the roads get. Trips, taking unknown back roads are the most fun. Stop along the way and talk to local riders, you'll find good routes this way.

Beaded, installed, 40 psi for break in period. first ride in the morning .

Mounted up & ready to install. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/18698fb760f466f90c26549a9492b13d.jpg

Me too, easy as pie. Socket was $7 at AutoZone

I had put off doing the swing arm service fearing it was a big involved job, turned out to not be such a big deal once the tire is removed. Glad I checked it as there was barely any grease left on the bearings. The worst part of the job was having to drive to the parts store for a 30mm / 1 3/16" socket.

My thoughts exactly till I saw those triple cut fins
