    I just had to replace my speedo sensor. No cruise and didn't check the other features. Needle was dead in it's track. A used sensor from Pinwall cycle did the trick. The plug/connector in the fairing for the spdeeo has 2 connectors under the fairing. A smaller one sits on top of the radio unit and the other can be found following that part of the harness. It'll be on the right side next to the big rubber connectors for the radio. It'll also be the smaller connector of the two there that look alike. Larry BTW I was getting a flash code later with 8 flashes after replacing the sensor. During that time I had an erratic needle which wouldn't give a steady speed indication. I found the small connector on top of the radio had a loose connection. Cleaned it up and was good to go.

    I have a new 130 /MT90HB series front tire in the classifieds for sale. I haven't even taken it out of the shipping wrapper. I don't plan on using it now since I decided to go with a rear designed tire up front on the trike. I can bring it to Don's MD for anyone wanting to do the tire change there, change it out for local buyers, or work out shipping arrangements. Larry

    So what's being said? Larry

    Pretty much what all have said so far. You'll find taking either tire off easier by just taking some weight off the axles, pulling the axle and then raising the bike high enough to easly remove the wheel from under the fender. As noted that point will be near or at the top of the jacks lifting ability. Then you can install the legs if you have a Freestanding model and set her back on solid ground. If you have a Standard model you can still lower it for peace of mind as long as the jack is resting on it's locking bars. Yea the bike will rock a bit when either wheel is removed but the jack should still handle the job safely. Larry

    Joyce & I also want to add in our thanks to Don & Patti for hosting this Meet & Eat. They did a great job making sure all were welcome and had plenty to eat. After most everyone left we headed for a DQ that evening. A nice cool ride after all the heat of the day. I think the temp was around 90*. We just kept moving deeper into the shade. Sunday Don & Monty lead us on a nice country side ride. Sweet. Larry

    Here's a link about just how dangerous a routine traffic stop can be in todays mad world -- http://portal.wowway.net/news/read.php?rip_id=%3CD9FQQ3QG5%40news.ap.org%3E&ps=1011&_LT=HOME_LARSDCCL1_UNEWS Larry

    Not for me but sure can appreciate the worksmanship that went into the build. Larry

    Best wishes for her surgery and for the docs doing the work. Hoping all is a 100% successful outcome. Larry

    It'll work with my adapters. Even if the lift arms arm the short versions I add a safety bar to allow them to be used. I don't think I've ever seen any atv/mc jack this cheap before. Is the quality there or is it a cheap knock-off? You're trusting these things on lifting and keeping the bike up while in the upraided position. 850-900 lbs of bike is no laughing matter when it falls from a couple of feet. Larry

    Sorry didn't see this post earlier. Anyhow I used the following master cylinder kit ( http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/260-5920/10002/-1 ) as the stock master cylinder didn't move enough fluid volume to properly expand the large calipers from the Ford Crown Victoria I used. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/21651/345.jpg There isn't any covers available for that area you speak of. I welded in sheet metal to the angled 1" support bar. It was cut out to follow the curved frame. I also welded in sheet metal to the kits side mounting plate to close off that area too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/21651/100_2007.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/21651/100_1234.jpg

    Best of luck with the docs Don. We took a 2011 Sorento for a test drive recently as well. Was thinking of trading in the 07 Sportage we now have but will hold off another year to let finances get into better shape. We were very impressed with that 2011 Sorento so it may well be at the top of the list once we decide to do a car replacement again. Larry

    Sorry Wes it's an either/or selection there, as the dimensions on the two types are totally different. Mainly due to the shocks location/position, also the width. You'll have to buy one for each of the bikes. Larry

    Yes I do make a lift adapter for these year model Royal Stars. However it's strickly on a prepaid order as the demand is too low to stock them. I offer both the Standard and Freestanding models with removable legs. Check my ad here at VR for what they look like. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=1585&title=carbon-one-lift-standard-model-adapters&cat=7 http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2673&title=carbon-one-freestanding-lift-adapter&cat=7 Also pricing is the same as for the RSTD's & Ventures. Use my e-mail address -- lskeels@wowway.com -- to transfer the funds into my account at PayPal. Note in the comment section of Paypal what it's for. Larry

    Title says it all. So just which bolt is it? Larry

    I think the reason for the fitment problem has more to do with the Wolo not coming with the spacer that Stebel adds to their horn package. Even a few folks have gotten shorted on the spacer with the Stebel too thou. If I recall that black plastic spacer is about 1'2" thick . Larry

    Ain't that the truth. Whether we're getting the whole story or not it sadens me that the girl was treated this way. Larry
  22. Carbon_One
    Good luck Annie Larry

    Wishing nothing but the best to you Doc & Jean. As all have said do what needs done to get well first and foremost. You'll heal much quicker that way. Larry

    Yep they're ever so slowly converting to the 2nd gens. Riding the bikes is much better then working and repairing those antiques all the time hey? Seriously we have some members here who have some really nice 1 st gens. Ok Back to the subject on hand. Your order will go out 1st thing in the morning Condor. Thanks, Larry
  25. Carbon_One
