    Monty let me know if you find any or not. If you don't I should be able to snag a couple locally & bring em with me. Larry

    GPS ?

    Carbon_One replied to Carbon_One's topic in Watering Hole

    I should note here that I'm not interested in all the extras that generally come with them. ipod, music hook ups, etc. since my hearing is shot so really all I need is visual stuff thou the wife does here the spoken turns etc so lets me know where to turn if I don't catch it. As to water proofing the Mio I'm currently using, it has been in serious downpours without any problems I do have a good sized aluminum sun shade for it that protectes it pretty good in rain. Gonna try to hit more stores in the next few days to see what's out there. Larry

    GPS ?

    Carbon_One replied to Carbon_One's topic in Watering Hole

    Well being able to see the screen in sunlight is priority #1,. If there were features that would allow trips being downloaded like you showed me on yours then that would be a plus too. Probably asking to much to get good stuff on one without paying the piper, LOL Larry

    GPS ?

    Carbon_One posted a topic in Watering Hole

    Is it just me or what? I've been looking to upgrade from my current GPS unit, a Mio c520 I've had for about 3 years now. My only real complaint with it is that it washes out in sunlight, so it gets hard to see. Anyhow I just can't justify $500-$950 for a mc unit. After looking at several brands it sort of gets confusing after a while. Personally I don't care for the Gamin's series. To me they don't have the features that my current Mio unit has and also ,to me anyhow, seems awkward to use. Anyone care to recommend alternate models, brands? Something with one of the larger screens is prefered & easly seen in bright sunlight. Larry

    Prior to triking my bike I consistantly was getting 38-42 mpg. Now that I've added 400lbs more weight and more frontal area I get 30-33mpg with a speedohealer unit set for actual speed. I have also upped the pilot jets 1 size in their respective carbs, fine tuned the mix screws and syn. the carbs. I did this before converting to the trike so triking had no effect there. I find a much better low end acceleration, cold engine starting now. So ya comparing my beast to yours I'd say something is way off. Larry

    Neat video. I think that was filmed in the US. But I think Honda has pulled the plug on US production for the Wings and returned it back to Japan. Still an interesting clip. Larry

    Been eyeing cooling vests for a while now and after reading the posts here decided it was time to order one. Here's my choice --- http://www.silvereagleoutfitters.com/shop/vest/MCV.html from http://www.silvereagleoutfitters.com/ I also ordered one of their do-rags --- http://www.silvereagleoutfitters.com/shop/head/CDR.htm Going to the Hub next week with low to mid 90* temps I'm sure it'll come handy. I'll report on this once I have a chance to use it. Larry

    Looking forward to another great weekend get-away. I will either be riding straight thru to the Hub or may take a detour and hook up with Monty & B2Dad. Larry

    Excellent rebuild there and congratulations on a job well done. Much pride in knowing you did it yourself too. Larry

    Glad to hear you had some quality time for your family Don. Life goes by fast enough as it is without keeping in contact. As for the International rally it went well and was in good hands. Also don't feel too bad about not making it as I was in the same boat 2 years ago for the Canada rally. My family decicided that same week was a good time for a family reunion. Needless to say you can't be two places at once. Next years rally will be even sweeter when you go. Larry

    I've had a Sterns suit 2005 with no problems. They've kept both me & the wife dry in some really heavy downpours. It's too bad that the new ones may or are having quality problems as they are light weight, fold up into a small package, and were priced right. Larry

    And I won the Kroo shirt. Nice one too. Thanks Larry

    I've got one electric Magnum horn under the fairing and another under the lower left cowling where the other stock horn mounted. All I did was tie in with the Stebel air horn with new 14 gauge wire from the Stebel horn relay. You do lose a bit of volume being under cover but they're still plenty loud. Larry

    It's getting shipped out in the am so hopefully you'll be on the road soon Larry

    Yep trailer ticket was drawn. No I didn't win and didn't catch the winners name but I'm sure Kevin will post here soon who it was. Larry

    Well another great International Rally is in the history books now. Kevin and Sue did a excellent job, as well as those who helped doing whatever they did to make this event another successful rally. We missed seeing some of those familiar folks we usually see but meet others new to us too. We rolled in about 2:30 this afternoon, beating those black clouds chasing me so stayed dry. Other than that it was a uneventful ride. Here's hoping the rest of those that were at the Int. rally do the same. Gonna go cool off for now . Will post pics later after getting settled back in. Larry

    Gerry if you haven't lubed those drive splines yet I'd suggest you do that before doing anything else. I'm betting that once that is done you'll be riding a quite bike again. Larry

    Alan what the guys say. Don't think there'll be any issuses getting a room and if by chance this place gets booked up there's a couple more hotels nearby. Larry

    Nice job there Dave. I'm looking to do something similar for the trike. I do have a landscaper trailer with a steel mesh ramp but with the trike on it it's nudging the towing limit per manufacture of the Kia Sportage. Going with something of this nature would take away at least 600 lbs weight. Oh yea I checked boxes A,B, & C. Probably should add box D as well since that antique you ride is getting too worn out. Larry

    I've got the one I took out of my bike when I triked it. It had about 20k miles on it when I pulled it. Pm me an offer for it. Larry
  24. Carbon_One
    Bob I'll show you the aftermarket set up at Potato Creek I have on my trike. I ran into somewhat the same problem when I added the Crown Vic rotators & calipers to the bike. No where near enough volume from the stock RSV master so. adapting I went. LOL Larry
  25. Carbon_One
    Ok that brass fitting just screws in. I listed the part number in my earlier post. Larry
