  1. Thats the way the insides of the HD muffs are made. Exhaust comes in like 8 inch or so. Then there is a plate there to block and force exhaust out to sides so it goes,thru multiple slits to baffle and out the back. Now why to 2010 ones (non cat) I have are not made exactly the same I have no idea. The right the diverter plate is say 8 inch back and the left is further maybe 10 inch.
  2. I put shinkos on mine this time. Had a premature failure on the rear, but no fault of tire. I ran over something that put about a 3/4" plus gash in the tire. But if I remember right the weight rating was not as high on the 777 as the 230 and thats why I went the 230 tourmaster route. Everything I read on the HD forums sounded like it was worth a try.
  3. Hmm so If I make a reservation with a Canadian hotel and then cancel it a few days later I would have made $19? Why play the stock market? Actually I think if its on a credit card it shouldn't have cost you anything. It "held" the room but nothing was used. So I dont know what the rules are but I would be asking. And was there an actual charge on the card?
  4. Late at night with a few cocktails it looks fine man.
  5. Bob Meyers is my go to intercom Guru. I have J&M headsets of the less expensive type. I think I have about $180 in a pair. But then you have to add the cost I put together for plugs for ear buds for rider and passenger, parts to make the connectors and the time etc. I think if I was to go for headsets again the SMH 20 would be in the running. Using earbuds makes the music and communications clear and also knocks some of the wind noise out.
  6. I liked that the Michelin groves crossed over center of the tire back and forth. The E3 was OK but I thought it looked more like a sport bike tire than a touring tire. You will have to kind of relearn corners now as it turns in just slightly different.
  7. Hmm what happens if the training wheels dont deploy? you look like the guy on Laugh In
  8. I find it a chuckle to me at least. These economy cars that didn't sell for squat back in the 60's get reborn and now the .commers think they are "cool" to have. the mini, the FIAT next they will bring back the 3 wheeled thingy the the front flips open.
  9. My guess would be the waves are caused by engine electronics.
  10. There is a section of road down south of me here just south of Lake Placid Fl. There is 12-15 miles where it is posted as a "bear crossing". I have driven that road at all times of day and night and have yet to see a bear. So how does the DOT know where the bears want to cross? Do they go survey them? Take a census?
  11. what the E 4 going to be?
  12. here is the listing. If you want to DIY, here is a wire diagram of relay in general.
  13. Are they a sleved cyl? Could be a cracked sleve, sucks water after it warms up a bit.
  14. Motorcycle superstore. I just looked up the front only and its under $140
  15. Hmm may have to call mine Arnold. Its not as nimble as the 900 Vulcan was thats for sure. But you learn to adjust.
  16. I took a memphis shades shield I had around and cut it to fit the RSV. I thought I got it measured rite, but if it was an inch or 2 taller it wouldnt be bad. My fault with the short one is if I get caught in rain its a tick to short to send the rain over you. And it has a tendancy to dry my eyes out on long rides.
  17. Bottomfeeder, Trumbo is where you check in if I remember. Is it off to the right like right after you get on the key? Truman was kind of nice, but is still quite a walk to the square or whatever and down to duvall. Shoot its probably a 30 min walk atleast to the square. And thats before cocktails.
  18. Ill send a plug out for carbon one I think it is. He makes a plug in harness for horns I think.
  19. I dont know the specifics on "regular" handicap tags here in Fla. But for a disabled vet you have to be 100% disabled. Well Im not that far gone but had called and asked. To me it would make sense if they cost of the tag was rated on your disability. IE you are 20% you pay 20% of tag fee. So I asked the gal on the phone if Im 100% disabled how in the heck can I drive? Then a few days later I pull into the Wally World park lot. Here is a Jeep cj type with purple heart tags. Then some girl like18 or 20 hops in and drives away. No way she is a Viet Nam purple heart vet. So how in the heck does she rate one os those? GRR just burns me.
  20. Yup pretty much everything mentioned here. My very first thought was "what kind of air pressures" were in the tires. Sounds like the front could be soft. I am running Shinkos Tourmaster 230 and run 40 at both ends, my Michelins (which was a 130 in front) was about the same. Steering head bearings may need a bit of tightening, they do seem to back off for some reason. I lowered the front forks about 3/4"in on mine to help with slow speed stuff. I have heard that doing the lowering links help in the rear for seat height, but on the other side of that actually raises the front height and thus steering goes to pot at slower speeds. At that mileage I can even consider the swing arm bearings or front forks being bad. Rear shock, you bet. Take a peak under it, if the shock bolt is oily the shock is bad and is just south of $500 for parts and about an hour to change.
  21. You silly people. Thats why there is that red button on the key thingy ma bob. You start it up from inside the house, let'er warm up. It melts the snow around it some and then you push the panic button so you can fine tune you location skills.
  22. There are several. Air rider.com Air rider, Ed sets. J&M & IMC
  23. Shoot I have no idea what it had over 9 weeks ago. I can tell you I have ran over 12 tanks of fuel thru.
  24. I keep seeing this thread and get more ideas. Being I am retired military I could hop scotch around to different bases and stay on base or abase camp ground for less than some motels. Hmm Being I am out of work right now it is wayyy to ez to think about going riding instead of looking for a job this summer.
  25. Well I improver my passing lights to some decent LED bulbs and am happy with thier output for the price. So I think the aux lights I want are low now. So back to your idea. Do you have the 4.5" passing lights on the bar? I just went out with a quick idea. The clamps for the lights I have will fit arounf the stalk of,the turn signal. So you could munt the lights to the outside of the turn signal between the passing light and top ot the turn signal. Right now my passing lights are laying on top of the fender as I have the fairing apart, so dont know what all the clearences are. Tomorrow I should be able to put it back together as I have my power wires and stuff all run.I'll get a couple pics of what Im talking about so you can get an idea and visual.
