I have a pair of Shinko's on a 2nd Gen. So far @ 5K they look OK. I had Michelin C2 on before these. They went better than 17K. For the price if you do your own tire changes I'd say they are worth a try. I will also impress upon tire pressures being key.

OK folks. Pulled the light out and tried to turn it on and nothing. Not even a glimmer. Center of bulb is black. Looks like the old time flash bulbs for a camera, al-a Kodak brownie. My best guess bulb fried. Looks like I can find one for about $12-15 on e-bay.

Noticed yesterday when I pulled in front of a store that the headlight was not on. I checked the switch for my HID and it was on. So now have faring apart and looking at grounds etc. All OHM out ok. When the switch is flipped the light makes a light bluish what looks like attempt to start but goe out. So it has power and looks like it wants to start, but dont. Sooo how do I know if its a bulb or the XXXXX,00000 volt out put ballast. I tried to get the wife to hold onto the wires for the bulb while I turned it on, but she wouldn't help me. Seriously though I think on the ballast it says something like 23,000v. Dont know if my volt meter would work or not. I dont want to buy a $35 bulb only to find out the ballast is done. If the ballast is done its almost as cheap to replace the whole works I think. Thanks gus for any info. Guess I will have to find the halogen to go back in to ride until I get some answers.

I thought Eddie payed around $480 for a Hagon. Either shock from what I have read is quality product.

Made one of those out of a file cad box from Office Depot. $3 fair job. What I will say happens though, if I have on a hi vis vest or shirt, the lime green reflection and it makes the screen un-seeable. Im using a garmin 765.

I went on an Indian test ride last Friday. Not really interested in them styling wise. I hopped on a scout. Boy was that way different than the RSV. Did not care for the throttle by wire. And motor seemed to be surging when at steady speed.

As has been mentioned. I think they changed the design. So until stocks have been depleted, it is possible to get the "old" type top longer filter. And if it is the non-dipped top and you got it on and no leaks. your a luckier guy than me.

The ones I got, every time power is applied they change mode. So say are low now and turn key off, next time powered weather by key or switch they go to next mode. But I can tell you I have turned them on to high and then rode, turned bike off when I got somewhere and then restarted and they were still on high beam. So I just fire bike and check before getting on to see where the beams are operating. I built a little switch pad and put a micro toggle switch and a momentary off button in it so it would break circuit to switch beams.

Fords Garage over Ft Myers way has good burgers. And no green skys and barns and stuff blowing around. We were going to try Sarasota once one of the Amaish places. Like I mentioned we are out until May at least as weekends are work weekends until then.

Bert, for me I like the sound around town and short trips of say maybe an hour. I find however when the wife and I go on a longer trip and have to ride say 4 hours or all day. The noise gets to be grating even with ear buds in. But are ez enough to swap on and off, so I just swap around when I want to. Good luck they do sound nice without sounding like a thrashing machine.

Much better "deal" than my buy rotella and get "free filter" My "free filter" has cost me about $18 now. lol

So how many of you guys remember Dave Aldana?

Well here was how I came about the 7313. First off NONE of the filter guys will tell you that it is ok to use a car filter on a bike. See the response above from Purolator. I am in the store and know the 14610 and 14612 fit in the past, so gasket and threads are good to go, rite? So next step is to find the cross refference in the boox to other filters they carry. Did you know that the books they put in WalMart in auto section no longer have filter cross reference in the back? Then remembered someone posting that he has used same filter on his Mitsubshi or something. so went to those sections. Ahh found it. In the listing it shoed this Fram filter, and it was dipped at thread area. I compaired it to the MCspecific filter and threads etc were same. Filter a tad longer like the 610.

So this is the short filter right? I dont know if it would actually have more filter capacity or not.

If its got the dip in it like shown you will be OK. Other wise be ready for a puddle of oil the next day. I found it odd that it did not leak under pressure. But sitting static over night I had leakage, Beats me 2 similarly built filters both short so I thought would snug up. They sure felt that way. So I gave up today and looked for 15 min at filters in Wally World. Settled on a FRAM Not my first choice for sure. As far as the ML purolator filters I dont think I have seen one.

Well thought I had this thing fixed, but using the short filter. Today had a very small amount of oil on ground after sitting all night. Say a spot 2 quarters big. So must be something to not being able to draw it down far enough. Went by Wally World on my to run some errands. Did you know they dont handle the super tech oil filters anymore? So I ended up with a FRAM PH7317 It does have to concave threadded part and measures .254 to the top of where the thread starts.

From what the sales fellow told me today they sell them in the 32-37k range if I remember right. He said a little higher than a Can Am but hey you get 1800cc of probably one of the most reliable optioned out scoots on the market. I thought it was pretty dang nice looking. I like it a lot better then the other way around trikes.

OK I have had this bluetooth cable GPS connection thing for probably 2yr or more now and have yet to figure out what the heck is keeping it from working correctly. It is a bluetooth cable similar to Buddy's only this is from ed sets I think. So I have a Garmin 765t, set it to link bluetooth to my phone. All is good I am cruising along and call the house, I can hear phone ring and then the recording comes on. Was a little low on volume so turned up the volume on controller. So a few minutes later I called the wife on her cell phone. Once again could hear her fine, but all she said she could hear on my end was like static. I tried to turn up the IC volume (dont know if that controls the phone mic volume) but still she said cant hear me. So am I missing something that needs to be set up in the GPS?? Does the IC volume control the mic for the phone? I'm about ready to just chunk this whole bluetooth cable thing.

Will be May at least before can even think about it. Have a relay For Life event every weekend unit May that I have to help the wife with. Well I dont have to​ but it makes life easier if you know what I mean.

I dunno, I kind of like this better.

I had thoughts of taking a large socket, placing it over the center part there and giving it a whack. See if it would concave it. By the time I had made the 3rd trip to the parts store yesterday I was all out of fun and just bought one I was pretty dang sure would go on no fuss.

I walked by one of these today. Had to take a double take. I thought at first it was a modified CanAm. NO way For about the same price this thing would be more pleasurable I would think. Any guesses?

Cant even get them up in the space now. They hit and want to start cross threading. I put the short one on in gold one on. Ran about 180 miles today all seems OK. It tightened up fine for me. Contact and about 1/2 or 3/4 turn. I will probably cough up the coin for the Mobil 1 next time.

OK sports fans. I dug thru the trash con for only you guys so I could take these. Old style 14610. Notice "dip" where threads on. new style more flat. Thus you dont have enough clearance to get straight shot to thread on. Side by side. Maybe this helps clear it up a little.

I will have to see if I can dig all the old filters out of the trash can. The reason I had the Bosch to start with is when I bought the Rotella Autozone had a special on the oils was lower prices, had a rebate and I think the filter was free or something.
