    New lighting

    They are run/turn/brake lights made by Electrical Connection. This is their website. http://www.electricalconnection.com/other-lighting/tsk-star&sport.htm

    New lighting

    I added the Electrical Connection LED lights to my rear turn signals. The video isn't great but you get the idea. Sorry working on video Ok, I think I got it figured out. http://s46.photobucket.com/user/oldodge/media/2014-01-01_10-50-10_87_zps416db0b8.mp4.html
  3. Congrats!
  4. I recently traded a 2005 Vulcan Classic 1500FI on my 2013 RSV. My first impression was how much better the carbs worked than the EFI at low speed. The Vulcan had a on/off feel just above idle that made it clumsy at parking lot speeds. I loved my Vulcan and debated replacing it at all, but I don't want to go back now. More comfort, more wind protection and much better two up. Try a Venture, you won't regret it.
  5. I got a Trunk Rack, a set of led's that turn my rear turnsignals into "running, turn and brake lights", an air pump, a battery tender, a drivers backrest and a cover for the new RSV from Santa. My sister got me a cool "Motorcyclist Guardian Angel" that attaches to the handlebars with velcro.
  6. Merry Christmas everyone!
  7. Congratulations!
  8. My condolences to you and your family.

    Any trips?

    Just one "trip" on the new Venture. It was a day trip, left home, returned home same day. Met a riding friend and his son on their Harleys and we rode to Gettysburg, PA. We toured the battlefield on our bikes and stopped at the visitors center. We ate a couple times and had a great day. It was 33 degrees when I left and 34 when I got home but it got to almost sixty during the sunlight hours. The last day trip on my Vulcan was with a group of six bikes. We rode to the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, PA, then to the Quecreek Mine rescue site. We stopped for lunch at a favorite haunt and a couple convenience store stops for water. It was a hot day. These are the only two times I rode with other bikes all summer. I ride solo and in a group of one 99% of the time. Since I got the Venture my wife has started riding with me again and that is a big reason why I bought it, comfort!
  10. No I wouldn't.
  11. This is me when I brought the Venture home the first time. One of me and my wife. Same day.
  12. Like I said before, the $10 isn't a big deal but it is the principal of customer service and respect for a customer that I feel is missing here. When your website states "in stock" and it isn't, you owe that customer a notice. I did receive another email that apologized for the lack of a signature on their reply as well as a lack of communication on the back-ordered part. Both were blamed on failure of automated systems. matters not to me if it was automation or not, they as the vendor are responsible for the actions, or lack thereof, of their systems. I would rather not reveal the vendors name as my experience may not be the norm. I am not about destroying someones reputation over something like this. I see it as a learning experience, and I learned this particular vendor does not meet my personal requirements. I will be more diligent with all my online purchases from now on and will try to seek out face to face transactions whenever possible. I won't stop buying online, I will just question more and take less for granted.
  13. I ordered about $300 worth of stuff from an online company I have dealt with before. I ordered on 11/23 and was notified immediately that one item would not be available until 12/2 and all items would ship then. I was ok with that even though the items were listed as in stock when I placed them in my cart. I received my order, minus one item, on 12/7 with no explanation other than an invoice with " Not In Stock - On Order" marked in place of the missing item. I went to their website to inquire as to a delivery date and there was an add for one of the other items I just received at a $10 off price. I sent the following email: My question is about: Other Additional Info: When I placed my order I received a confirmation that all items were estimated to ship 12/2/13. I now receive the order with no rack Part# XXXXXXXX. When I look at the rack on the website it now says estimated ship date is 12/24/13. My second issue is that I ordered a cover as well and between the time I ordered it and received it the price dropped $10.00. I would have expected to be charged the lower price. The cover is Part# XXX. As a returning customer I expect better from XXXXXXXXXX. I am disappointed. I received the following: Good day, The estimated ship out date for the rack part number XXXXXXXXX is 12/24/2013. As far as the cover is concerned, I would be unable to do anything about the price as the item was placed on clearance after you had placed your order. With that being said we have no way of knowing when or which items will go on clearance. If you have any other questions feel free to contact us back by email or call us directly at XXXXXXXXX. I replied: Hello, I would address you by name but the email is not signed. I am disappointed. I understand about the rack, although an email to inform me of the delay would have been appreciated. As for the cover, had it shipped when ordered I would understand your position. But it did not ship when ordered and I do not agree with your decision. I will however stand behind my commitment to purchase these items as I feel it is a case of "buyer beware" and I will certainly be "aware" when I shop online in the future. Regards, Tim Thomas Am I being petty or am I out of line here? I feel I got very poor customer service and a very disinterested reply. I am not that concerned about the $10 price change but as a returning customer I expected better. Ok, rant over now. :225:
  14. Merry Christmas!
  15. Nice job keeping after it and thanks for sharing.
  16. Maybe not an issue but I always see the police bikes around here sitting and idling a lot, or being ridden in-town stop and go traffic all the time. Not as easy on the machine as highway cruising so a bike with more miles may have less hours of wear. As for the Road King, I like them. I also had a 1500 Vulcan Classic I bought new that I traded on my RSV (2005 with 40,000 miles when traded) , I loved it, but I don't miss it now.
  17. Sweet! Congratulations to Wes and his proud Papa!
  18. I am so sorry for your loss. You were there, it probably mattered little what was actually said. You were there and that speaks volumes for your character and of your love for your friend.
  19. Ewwwww! :no-no-no:
  20. What a beautiful dog. Sorry for your loss.
  21. Congrats! Here's to fifty more!
