  1. the splitter box or multiplex box (proper term) will already be part of your bike and take care of al that for you, you need not worry about, as i said cut off the original mount and install the one shown in the picture and everything will fit and work just fine no need to get complicated
  2. Dumb question maybe but does your bike have a mute button and is it switched on to mute:think:
  3. nearby truck stop is the easiest and good selection of antenna's as well as hardware such as mounts ( tip down and quick connect adaptors for the antenna should you wish to use them) as well as repair ends. the repair end I used simply required cutting the cable at the oem mount (remove and discard the mount), this mount serves as repair end and mount combined and takes all types of antennas with a 3/8 " mount which makes it pretty univesal and simple to do. once you mount the antenna check your swr. if your bike originally used one antenna for both radio and CB you don't need to do anything else because it will have a multiplex box that does it for you.http://truckcitycbgps.com/Images/image_antenna_mounts/203EZ%20Lift%20and%20lay%20mount.JPGhttp://truckcitycbgps.com/Images/image_antenna_mounts/SM31%20Through%20up%20to%201%20inch%20hole%20mount.JPG
  4. I run dunlop E2's and they seem to be very good in the rain
  5. They just never say at who's loss they are operating at:mo money:
  6. bought my venture in 2005 met a couple in london who told me about the site and joined up, that i believe was before the crash. I did not realy get involved until a bit later though. just shy I guess
  7. Thanks for the update Don as always best wishes and prayers sent and hoping this will all be behind you soon with as little side effects as possible.
  8. without getting into a lot of details I too looked at every car like it was out to get me, But I soon got feeling comfortable in the saddle again and feel I have become a better and more alert rider because of it. Beside's short of sucide you don't get too decide how you leave this world but to a certian extent you do get to decide how you want to enjoy what it has to offer.
  9. goes for me too
  10. Yeh what he said:dancefool::dancefool:
  11. You can also buy the fold over mounts ( bayonet type if you prefer) and most other cb parts and mounts from most any major truck stop like Pilot along most major highways
  12. My mom used to make a similiar gravy but added butter milk to it

  15. oops that was supposed to be corn bread and gravy
  16. Just so happens I had corn bread gravy bacon fat and grits 3 times in the past seven days while visiting my inlaws in IL down near st louis. at home bacon fat never gets saved because i fry/toast my bread in it, mmmmmm
  17. That would have to be some where between the 1st week and 3rd week in August. And hopefully that would be the same week you have daylight up there Charlie:rotfl:
  18. Theres a South Central British Columbia ?????:think:
  19. Get some Harley emblems stick em on each side of the fuel tank and no one will ever notice:rotfl::rotfl:
  20. Hey Dano Wrong answer I am in Highland Illinois right now which means I have to go through Indianapolis on the way Home. Think about it.Oh and my wife is with me and she gets mean.
  21. Just for those who may not totally understand amps . think of it as a 5 gal pail compared to a 4 gal pail if all you need to carry is 3 gallons due to low demad (eg Fewer lights) both pails will do the job but if you need to carry 4 and 1/2 gallons due to high demad (eg more lghts) at a time only the 5 gallon pail will do the job, because the smaller pail would overflow.
  22. ! did that and I found my signals definitly flash much smoother:rotfl::rotfl:
  23. I see this all the time working on transport trucks . the cause is almost always bad ground and so the light trys to get ground through the other lights. this cause a sort of feed back which in affect cancels out the other light. check and clean all your ground connections to the signal lights. a simple quick test to verify it is run a wire form bat neg to the ground side of the signal light. If it starts working normal you know for sure there is a ground issue in your signal light circuit
  24. check out this discussion forum on the kawasaki site about the venture http://www.kawasakimotorcycle.org/forum/kawasaki-cruisers/92825-yamaha-royal-star-venture.html
