So actually he has only lost what 35lb? Dan found the other 50.

You upset the gremlins by taking away thier music machine. Flashing fuel gauge in my experience is the gauge not getting either power or sending unit info. I kind of think maybe something got bumped disconnected etc.

I'm surprised the car filming didnt hit the bike. Awesome the guy had enough moxy to keep balance.

so I am kind of thinking maybe tossing the wired headsets. it all started when I was in Cycle Gear yesterday and the sales fellow showed me this pre installed BILT helmet with bluetooth. I forget now which manufacture he said it had in it maybe U-clear. I know it wasnt a Scala, Sena or big name I remember. Then this AM I have a sales flyer e-mail from another motorcycle supply company and they have the Bell Mag 9 that is set up for the Sena smh10 on sale. We like our mag 8 and the the 9 has the drop down inside shield. So I get to looking. $$$$$ then researching and you tube etc. To me it looks as though the Sena has good features, and not really much more than if you upgrade wired headsets. I had to wire in additional plug so I can run ear buds just so the sound quality is good enough on Ic and radio I dont have to ask the wife 'huh" about every 4 words with the J&M headsets. also we had alot of background woosh, so installed the button type mic mute things. So how are the Sena bluetooth headsets? How is sound quality from factory speakers? I am thinking I will get the mount that you can use earbuds for me and just by-bass the whole speaker route. How is the background noise from mic? How is the sound and volume from the units?

I thought mountian home afb was in Idaho. Thers another one.

Guess it depends on what YOU think its worth. Where it is from you and cost to get. Check your local craigslist and news papers and see where prices are at. Last week I saw an 02 with 50k for under 4000 about 100 or so miles from me.

I believe as long as there is enough gas to cover the pick up it will idle. Dont know as you can actually ride it as there wont be enough fuel supplied. If the fuel pump is ka-put heres an easy fix. OK well semi-easy. not much more than replacing the going to fail again points

So pretty much this thing is like the old "smog" pumps were back in the late 60's. just an added on piece to make the emissions read what they wanted them to.

++ on Tx idea there. Possibly the item your trying to remove, give a outward pull once all other hardware is out. Something to pull screw out so it starts to grip. I was thinking the head was gone.

Jackets? WOW must have a little coolness. I'm envious. We will get to go up that way in Oct.

I have several different types of e-z outs. But I ran across a job a month or so back I could not get any of mine to work on. So I was in Home Depot and ran across these called speed out. they work pretty good. Has the required size drill bit on one end and the extractor on the other. Go easy on the reverse part so as to not strip it out

Check out this thread. This guy is the LED Guru in my book.

I mean heck if you wanted a shorter glass of cocktail, just pour less. Or was that meant for guests?

I would say the 3 biggest things I have read about are 1: rear shock leaking and dying= replace with a Hagon aprox $470 See pics for what a bad one looks like. 2: Ignition switch contacts burn up from overloading= By-pass relay available 3: Fuel pump quits= Replace with a Mr Gasket 42s aprox $50 for pump, fittings etc.

Usually the modulator is wired to the high beam. So you have to turn the high beam on via the handlebar before it will even work. also there is sometimes an optical "eye" to automatically turn the modulator on in daylight and off in darkness. I have had one on a couple bike and I just used a toggle switch so I never had to worry about the optical part not working. Switch is pretty easy, when it get dark turn the modulator off (straight thru)

As I found out when I got my 09 the recommendations changed over the years. My 900 Kawasaki was 7500 miles. So when I got my 09 I opened the book and it says 4500. Others have told me their say 02 says 8k. So for some reason it varies from year to year. Now that mine isn't under warranty anymore and I run the T6 and the longer purolator filter I'm going 6k give or take.

On the RSV (probably the TD also) the rears go first. I guess partly because there are 2 up front to stop and the weight. What will help you on the rears getting a few more miles out of them is at about 5-6k swap the pads from one side to the other. I do it about everyother oil change so maybe 8K or so. Your milage may vary.

Isnt FlyinFool the one that went hog wild with the LEDs on a 1st gen?

Thats been what I have seen. I have also made that mistake of not pumping the caliper back out. Scary as heck if you have to pump them bad boys when your not expecting it.

Road King or any of the FLH type mufflers will fit. You will need a couple clamps for the muffler. They run about $30-35. Two ways to go on brackets. I use just whats known as a "p" clamp. A couple bucks, or there is a plate type you can make. The P clamp is definatly least expensive. If you look around on craigs list you can find them for 20-30 bucks. Sometimes folks can try the local HD dealer and they have takeoffs they sell cheap.

ECK post the link to the map/route you made. I'll see if I can make it a GPX file. Then I can just shoot you the file.

Glad you got it fixed up. Yu dont happen to have a son named Bob in NC do ya?

Check out Jafrum.com and leather up. Both have a wide variety.

In the tech section is a write up on swap to a Mr Gasket pump. Then you wont have to worry about fuel pump. Cost is almost same as replacing just points. I did it for under $50. The points will run almost $40 if I remember rite.

What color did you use up front?
