Mariner Fan Posted June 17, 2008 Share #6 Posted June 17, 2008 Steve, Good luck on the surgery. That's a tough one and recovery will be hard. I'm pulling for you. Yea, I wanted one of your grills and still do. If you have a black one already made up I'd be glad to take it off your hands. If not, I'll order one when your are back on your feet. Regards, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share #11 Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks Guys Its something I'm not looking forward to haveing done. But I am tired of hurting all the time when I walk. Sorry I don't have any extra Grills made up Bob but I'll be making more as soon as I can get around better. What I have is now spoken for and not enough time to get anymore made. I'm going to try to get in some riding time this weekend and next weekend. That will pretty much shoot my summer. The only good thing is it hot as H in my shope and its way to hot to paint and make grills. So maybe this is the best time to have everything done and try to get me fixed up. I'll be on more after the surgery and I'll keep you posted. Take a long ride for me everyone and enjoy the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVSoonerFan Posted June 17, 2008 Share #12 Posted June 17, 2008 Best of luck with your surgery and recovery. I have my grill installed but haven't taken any pics with it installed to send to you. Great product Steve!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Highway Posted June 17, 2008 Share #13 Posted June 17, 2008 What a bummer, I thought that as well as you make the grills you might just as well do your own surgery.. Then you can customize it as you see fit... Good luck and heal well. :cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted June 17, 2008 Share #14 Posted June 17, 2008 Steve, good luck with the surgeries. I hope your recovery is rapid and uneventful. And I don't even want a grill. (Already have one and love it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share #15 Posted June 18, 2008 Well I saw the Doc today and he is setting up the surgery time. Looks like the second week in July just in time for my birthday ( what a great way to spend that ) LOL. Well the rt. hip is shot ( full joint replacement with cermic's ) and both knees will need to be done in the future. ( Just what I wanted to be the bionic man ) LOL. I have healed fast in the past with the loss of my kidney so I hope this will go the same way . Thanks everyone for the best wishes and in my recoop time I'll be able to spend more time on here and Bug you all !!!!!!! No OLD falling apart comments or I'll hit you with my cane:backinmyday: and chase you down with my walker. Keep the rubber side down and the sunny side up and miles of smiles to everyone.

John Krom Posted June 18, 2008 Share #16 Posted June 18, 2008 Hey Steve, Take a good rest and heal well and soon from the surgery. My prayers are for your speedy recovery. Everyone in New York State admired the grill on my RSV and we wouldn't know what to do without your skills and talents. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunman Posted April 10, 2009 Share #19 Posted April 10, 2009 I finally installed my Wagner Grill today. I have had it sitting in my garage since last year, but was too cold to be messing with the bike. So it looks great, I did not expect it to be that easy. Steve, on the instructions you reccommend putting air in the front shocks, is this completely neccesary? I have had 0 psi in them since new, and do not want to mess with something that is not broken. If I NEED to add air, then I guess I will have to get the equalizing kit. And also, is the top of the grill just supposed to rest against the Rad tank at the top? It fits great, and looks great, I am just worried about how tight I have it. There is just a bit of play in it still, but the zip ties seem to be fairly tight. Any suggestions?

Cougar Posted April 11, 2009 Share #20 Posted April 11, 2009 Sunman, I had no air in my forks and have had Steve's Grill on there for about 2 years. nothing happened. there was ONE customer that said the rear of his front fender hit the grill one time. (extreme braking in the front) since then Steve has fixed that problem. I now have more of a rake do to my conversion. Also. I just love how it take that HUGE BLACK Void out of the front of the bike.

SteveW Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share #21 Posted April 11, 2009 You can pull the ties tight. The wide ties will only go so far and it should be nice and snug. I have lowered the profile over the last few years so 0 air in the front should be fine. I like having a few lbs in the front it seems to steer better. IMO Glad you all like the grills I try my hardest to make the product the best it can be. My hip and right knee surgery went great its been six mo.s now since both were done and I havent gotten around this good in 15 years. Everyone have a safe Riding Season Keep the rubber side down Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
