I get a blank black screen with the "no longer available" citation across the top of the screen. autopilot

MARCARL------Pledge? For real? ........thinking...........You know, I vaguely remember hearing about that once before, several years ago, it seems. I typically use Meguiar's products, although on one of the cars I used a very expensive patented teflon product that the Navy uses. Works great, it's the slickest stuff I've ever seen, but it's about $100 for a kit to do one car. I would like to see/hear more discussion about using Pledge, though, if it is in fact for real! autopilot

I'm happy you weren't hurt any worse; you'll be in my prayers..as will all of our riders. I had a buddy just 3 weeks ago, going for his daily cup-o-joe & meet the friends; a routine he performed on his Valkyrie many, many times before. This day a woman turned left in front of him; he tried to haul it down, but he just didn't have time. He evidently also tried to put the bike down, but again there was no time to do anything but hit her; he caught the front fender of her car and went airborne. He sufferred severe internal injuries and passed later in the day. I think he was pushing 70 years old, but a hell of a nice guy and he loved riding. It's getting bad everywhere. Maybe I'm more attuned to it living near Myrtle Beach. With 2 or 3 sometimes more bike rallys around here, every year, there are ALWAYS bikers getting hurt or worse and of the bike fatalities this year, according to the cops, only one was the fault of the biker! If you have a heart beating in your chest, that has to just hurt your soul. There's a guy that does courier service for some of the lawyers in the area whose wife works with mine. He has been run into the rear 4 times now and had to change over to a trike cause his knees got so banged up. (and no he doesn't use the bikes for work) We even had a Marine home on leave, on his bike, chased and bumped/run off the road/crashed by some jerk with a hard place for bikers! He was P.O.'d at somebody, but they found the Marine blameless. They put the guy away for awhile for that one. I apologize for getting carried away, but riding is such a special, unique experience. The openness, the smells and temperature changes and the sights and sounds; it's just you and the environment. Then there are the people you meet, the friends you make, the tales told--the experiences shared over a cup of coffee....or over the net. I've not met anyone here personally yet, but the comradery that's evident, the responses of one to the other....this is not just what motorcycling is supposed to be, this is what LIFE is supposed to be. So forgive me if I appreciate this place and you people a bit more than normal today; and share cowpuc's frustration, but because they are intruding on a very personal activity by their actions and they do not have that right. So today/tonight, I'm a basket of different emotions and you guys caught the result. I so look forward to meeting some of you (those who might still want to after today's ourburst) I guess the Harley folks said it first, but I think they got it right: "Live to ride & ride to live". Y'all be careful out there! Steve the autopilot

Everette, You don't mention what year or model bike we're talking about, so I have to assume you are referring to the V-Star mentioned in your profile. The Baron's site only shows 2 dogbone links for that bike and a one page instruction in pdf format (BA-7540-00) which you can view and/or download. If all else fails, call Barons tech support. (I did relating to a lowering kit for my 98 RSTD and they saved me having to spring for a new kickstand) It sounds like a brake pad may be getting cocked in the caliper. I'm working under the assumption still, that it's the V-Star and that's what confuses me. Once the dogbones are changed, I wouldn't think they would even be touched again to change a tire; therefore, whatever else they're doing wouldn't even appear on the Baron's instructions!??????. If by chance you've got a 2nd Gen RSV or a late model RSTD, that kit does have lots of parts and Baron's doesn't show a pdf instruction for it. I think in any event, if it's the instructions you want or need, give their tech support a call. (888) 278-2819 (24/7) That's all I got! stick a fork in me, I'm done Steve
