  1. under the fairing there is 3 or 4 round connectors that have various audio functions. I would clean and check those before I went searching new parts.
  2. Yup everything tastes better of the grill. Mine is a Big Green Egg. But whatever you have it just tastes great.
  3. I would bet the starter/charging system on the "new" motor is 12v. I know when I was a kid my brother had a 62 bug I think it was. It was a 6v car. We had to change a couple things like bulbs. Actually I think the wiring is larger on the 6v stuff. Puc probably knows best.
  4. Most of those reasons. Add not everyone can do it. Now a ride to work is only like 6 miles. A few years back I traveled for work every week and flew out of an airport 90 miles away. I always enjoyed the trip back and forth. It just was relaxing being able to put things out of your head. You have to concentrate on the task at hand, not all the confusion going on around you.
  5. Wonder what the axle weight is with trailer on. 1000# for bike then add the trailer and gear. Hope thats at least a 2500.
  6. Thats just horrible!! Your parents made you work so you could have transportation? Ugh Didnt they owe that to you? LOL just pickin. Kids today just dont get it.
  7. LED headlights in CAN bus systems can have a slight flicker. I have not heard of anyone saying anything about the LED on a "regular" system. I have some in a car and I dont notice it. It may just be a start up deal. The bolts for the light bar if I remember right are a 6mm x maybe 1.25? I replaced mine with some hardware I had left over from something else. If you have one good one, any hardware or big box should have bolts to fit. I used allen heads, you may opt for regular head type bolts.
  8. I use both the Mobil 1 oils mentioned. I also used and still use the Rotella T-6 full syn oil. The mobil 1 is a bit pricey, but if you catch it on sale it aint to bad. As for filters I used Purolator (before they changed the design) and Wix. Oriely filters are made by Wix so a few peso's cheaper cost. K&N filters are nice with that nut deal on the end, but it sure aint worth the extra 6 or more bucks over a regular filter cost to me.
  9. So hows come the dips cant my packages to customers or to me when they say they are there? I get a message when I buy something with tracking number and when I check on it says shipped. 3 or 4 days later it still says in transit but no location. LOL

    On my lap top I have a key it shares with F6. It mutes sound, you might have hit that and everything is muted. I do it so when I'm on lap top and watching TV messing around if I run across something it dont start making all kinds of racket.

    new laptop

    Open office is very good. I have used it for quite a few years. Has programs the mimic Word, Excell, Page Maker I think and a couple others.
  12. Think he talking about a valve or something in line. Not necessarily a tank.
  13. I ran XP rite up until I couldnt get on the net with it. Chrome and Firefox just simply quit supporting it. So that was the final straw. I am in an online race league and our server access made upgrades and you just couldnt get on it with XP anymore. I would guess I have a year or more before there just is no way to do anything with 7. Dont know as I really want to go to 10 even if its free. My wifes lap top has 10 and I cant find my way around it worth crap. If I must upgrade, I would rather stick it out until the next best mouse trap windows makes than upgrade now and then in a year they say "Oh windows 10 is done you have to go to..."
  14. Check with Steve (M61A1MECH) The bike is a CAN buss system and like my Victory just splicing in lights MAY cause some strange things to go on. On my 2009 RSV I added lights where the reflectors were on the back and along side rails. I use LED marker lights for a trailer. I used some resistors in the line for the taillights to the side lights and also diodes on the line from the brake lights and wired that in. Side lights acted like marker lights and also brake/turn signals.
  15. Yea our college starts in mid August. So anything after that is a bust for me. We usually take the like second/third week in October and go up that way. We go to North Ga South NC boarder area.
  16. I put the Mr Gasket pump in and shut off valve all the time too. If your handy doing the points might be the way to go for you. While your in there, might as well relocate the fuel filter and change it. As it is now its a PIA to service.
  17. Sorry to hear this. Its hard to loose someone close anytime. But at this time of year as has been mentioned now kind of stains the holiday.
  18. Hmm I seem to remember a discussion way back about the "warning" sticker. Something about they were clear coated over and trying to peel it could screw the rest of the paint up. But the comm cord for sure will come off.
  19. Sorry to hear that Randy. Hope recovery goes well. Post therapy will be key. Work hard and push it will be better when done.
  20. Pretty amazing.
  21. That poor Honda trail 70. uggg

    What the

    Not to steal your storey, but more to add on to no self accountability. There is a family sueing a major cruise line because the grandfather dropped a yound child out an open window on the ship to their death in Puerto Rico. Its the cruise ships fault for having an open window, not the family member for lifting the child, putting them on the window ledge allowing him/her to fall. The grandfathers excuse "I didnt know the window was open and it wasnt marked as open"
  23. I had surgery on l5 s1 once, and currently have a couple up in the c range messed up. The neck ones were just like one day woke up like I slept wrong. Some days are better than others. Been to the VA several times,physical theropy, heat treat, massage, exercises etc. They have me use a home traction unit. It helps some days. My back was so bad I couldnt walk upright. 4 or 5 muscle relaxer shots at the ER and finally the muscles ez'd up. My Ciro got me an appointment with a surgeon and he did a dichotomy. In a couple weeks it was great. Un fortunately for the neck it was sounding like fusion which for now I want no part of.
  24. I have 4 that are trained very well. I rattle the "treats can" and they come running from everywhere.
  25. Sure I bet your just hangin out to see where we go eat next time.
