  1. Anyone tried the Amzoil 20w-50 (V Twin) in their 1st Generation bike?
  2. Did what u said 3 times now, hopefully 3rd time is the charm.
  3. Is it possible to add pics to an existing ad??
  4. Got er done. Just got back from about a 30 mile test run. No light!! Running smoooooth!
  5. I checked the owners manual, the icon showing up is for the brake. Book says it's for the front brake master cylinder.
  6. Think I found it. Behind the right back cylinder jug. Well, at least that one was low so hoping that solves the warning light problem. Time will tell!
  7. I frequently get the warning light for the front master brake cylinder during acceleration or if it's sitting on it's side stand idling. I'm assuming the reservoir above the lever is not the master cylinder. So just exactly where is the front master cylinder?
  8. Well, it's a rainy day so I decided to pull the sender unit off the gas tank to look for cap parts. Found everything. Got it all back together with some blue thread lock, and it's working!
  9. I'm thinking of measuring the distance the rear tire sits off the ground and cut off about 3/4 to a 1/2 inch less than that measurement. The nice thing is we're working with metal and the experiment can be undone if necessary.
  10. One of my riding buddies has a "drive off" center stand on his Harley. I'v been looking at my center stand and thinking that it could be modified to be a drive off type also. These 1st generations have always been a handful getting it up on the center stand anyways so I thinks it is worth a shot. Anybody else tried doing this?
  11. That sounds like a rainy day project. It's worth a shot though. Right now I just don't top it off, seems to be working.
  12. The lower portion of my gas cap fell into my tank. Can't believe I didn't notice it being loose. I tried a magnet to fish it out but I believe that part isn't magnetic as the base it was screwed to isn't magnetic either. I don't plan on pulling off the tank to get it out, so is anybody willing to part with one off their parts bike? Thanks
  13. We'll trailer them to Woodlands. After that it's two weeks of solid motorcycling. So far we'll be visiting San Antonio, Chorpus Christie & Padre Island, Galveston, Houston, Fredericksburg, Austin. Just got dumped on with about 11" of heavy snow here in Chippewa Falls WI so we're more than ready to saddle up.
  14. Our guy trip is set for March 8-18th. We will be staying in Fredericksburg exploring the "Hill Country" for part of our journey. Looking for suggestions for "must see" places and routes from people that have ridden in other parts of Texas. Oh, we are also hitting Corpus Christi and Padre Islands. Also would appreciate hearing of any great local eateries.
  15. Got the ball studs on. Pretty simple fix. They sure hold nice and tight!
