The Brickstones were so loud on my 2006 Midnight that I actually thought I was regaining some of my hearing. Man them puppy are LOUD!!!!!!!!!!

 

Tried Dunlop 404s they seem to be alot more quite and do the job.

 

I vote No for Brickstone ... sorry Margret.

Is that what that noise is?? Mine is bald as a babies butt now just haven't had time to swap it. Got a Kendra already mounted waiting for it. I did not like the feel of the Brickstone always felt like I was on Ice!! Didn't trust it.:confused24:

If I was buying it would be AVONS!!

 

Sorrry Margret!!!

I went and got her inspected the other day, she passed . But the mech said "your only running on 3 cylinders" I kind of thought I was, but I didn't know how much getup and go one of these had. I also cut off a little on the ends of the wires and re-sat the caps, checked all four for spark. I also tryed to clean the fuse holders in the fuse box. It broke as soon as I touched it...lol replaced it with a new type fuse,[need to rebuild the whole unit] And she fired right up Had to readjust the idle and man she flys now. I had no idea how fast these bikes are. I ran her up to 6 grand 1st,2nd and when I got to 3rd I was doing 85mph In like 7 secs, needle was climbing at a alarming rate...lol I eased of and looked for the exit. Man what a machine. I now need to tune the carbs, I will be reading up on it, to see if I can get it close until I can have one of you carb gurus take a look at her. I think I saw a Maryland Maint day....if so I will be in attendance. :thumbsup:

OHHHHH....MARGARET...just when I went and put you on top of my "know's her stuff" list...you had to go and ruin it. :) NO BRICKSTONES...NO NO NO.

 

You are right about the others though. :thumbsup2:

There have been a some Members (maybe 10 or so) which have had the Tire come apart or the Tire Thread loosing more or less big Chunks out of it.

 

 

I ride them by myself, because our stupid Law more or Less forces my to. I have had no Problems since.
