    Congratulations Hope and wishing you a very successful career. You'll find many challenges and rewards. Oh and Charlie I can see that from here. Larry

    I've had Progressive insurance from day 1. Prior to me triking the bike I had 3k worth covered in accessories. They'll give you the 1st k, the rest is up to you. Last winter after converting the bike into a trike I upped that to 10k. I think it costs me about $50 more per year for the extra 7k. Otherwise if in an accident they'd only give you 1k in accessories and whatever the going rate for value of the bike is. I also had to provide the company with photos showing the finished bike as well. We all hate to pay more then neccassary but when you lay out the kind of money these bikes cost why not protect your investment ? And don't forget the medical end of the equation too. Ok that's my nickles worth, Larry

    Angus I just rechecked my e-mails from the last 3 days. Nothing there regarding this topic. Try again? @ lskeels@wowway.com Larry Dave I had a senior moment here getting you mixed up with Angus.

    Hi Dave Sorry about missing this post earlier. Just plain didn't see it till I got your e-mail. As for adding legs to a non-legged model it can be easily done. I would have to remove the paint from at least the ends to be able to weld on the receivers. Then refinish the assembly. A cheaper and I think easier solution (due to shipping costs) would be to just buy a freestanding model and either use the standard model for those times you don't plan on using the legs or offer it here in the classified section. I'll pursue this further with you thru e-mails. Larry PS: After thinking on this I'd probably just exchange it rather than redo it for the difference in costs.

    I have installed the AudioVox CCS 100 cruise controls on several different brands of bikes. Both carbed and fuel injection types. You will in most cases need to frabricate mounts, brackets , etc. Also it may take some effort to get the servo, controler, and vacuum box tucked away on a bike. Being a fairing model of bike this should be easly done. While Auto Zone don't carry the unit there are other sources to buy them. J C Whitney out of Chicago or E-Bay, which is where I usualy get mine from. Here's a link showing 5 available now. http://motors.shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=Audiovox+CCS+100&_nd1=&_fromfsb=&_trksid=m270.l1313&_odkw=AudioVox+ccs+-100&_osacat=0 Instructions are pretty straight forward but if anyone needs help drop me a line. I also agree that for the bike in question the after market unit would be easier to install than a 2nd gen assembly. Larry

    Sorry to hear this as well Joe. And not because you are selling the bike but because you're out of work. Sure hope you get called back soon. Larry

    I'd also recommend a RTV type of sealer. Preferably a high temperature one. A thin bead is better than using an excessive amount as well. You don't want that excessive sealant getting into the bikes inards and clogging an oil passage. You could coat both sides of the gasket with just enough sealant to make it tacky, then install the gasket and part. My guess is no one will be changing gaskets every couple of years. Larry

    So yours will be nothing but a clean slate Eck?? At least it appeared that way to me as nothing was on the page. Oh wait this way we can write on it whatever we want about you. Hmmm this'll take some thought and help from the VR family here. What say everyone? Larry

    I've got two of the Kruzer Kaddies. One up front for me and one on back for the Mrs. Top quality with a price to match as well but glad I splurged on them just the same. Larry

    I joined up here within a week of getting my bike Memorial Day weekend '05'. Can't really recall just how many folks were already here, several hundred for sure. As to numbers they're really meaningless anyhow as we're all on the same level new or old except for Don. Him being the head honcho he's #1 in more ways than one. Without Don's vision of what this site should be about and his dedication to keep it going we wouldn't be here now. THANKS Don. And moderators. Larry

    I agree with Carl here too. As long as the scoot and trailer are secured well there shouldn't be any problems. Will the Beercart still be attached or will you be securing it seperately from the bike? Either way I don't see a problem as long as both are well secured with tie downs. I say go for it since it's a good deal for you. Larry

    I bought a half cover last year for the bike when traveling. Mine is from Nelson Rig and is waterproof. This the one I bought as where and who from. http://www.newenoughhp.com/accessories/covers/nelson_rigg/uv_2000_motorcycle_half_cover.html Don't forget that New Enough gives us a discount. Get the X-Large as well. Larry

    One of the biggest problems is getting gauges some enough at a resonable price. As some of you have noted. I mounted a volt meter on the left handle bar and a tach on the right handle bar using a Arlen Ness bullet cup and a Kuryakyn "P" clamp. Had a oil gauge on the right side once but took it off as the tach to me is more useful. Larry

    Define normal? Are you? Who says so?

    One can never have too many friends. Count me in as well. Wait I thought everyone here on the site was my friend? Oh never mind put me done anyhow. Then it's in stone. Larry
  17. Carbon_One
    Done. Happy New year Don.

    Had the one from Signal dynmanics as well. You won't find a better tail light. I too used it with the red lens. It's a HUGE improvment over the stock bulb for sure. Larry

    Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it was an oversite on the other guys part and maybe seeing this post will jog him into making things square with you. Larry

    Yep Brad it's still on for Saturday. Don't have the addy now but it's easy to find. Take I-94 to Telegraph, north on Telegraph to Michigan Ave, then head east on Mich. Ave. Leon's is about 1/4 mile up the road on north side of street. If you remember where the Bob Evans restraunt is it's just across the street from it. See you there, Larry

    Ok folks Maineac had me do a head count at here at chat tonight. Drum roll please -- New record for number of folks on at one time 26. The previous number was 18. Thruout the evening there were people coming and going from about 8:45pm to 12:30am with 44 people stopping by for a few minutes to the whole evening. Some were even 1st timers in chat too. Larry
  22. Carbon_One
    Where's the door? Larry:stirthepot:

    After much consideration I'll be having breakfast at Leon's Family Restaurant in Dearborn. It's on Michigan Ave. (north side) just east of Telegraph rd. at 9 am. We'll go straight to the show from there. For those who can make it there good, others we'll see you at the show. One reason I switched from Big Boy was that it was super busy there the last couple of times we did this. So ended up getting into the show later than excepted. Larry

    For those who consider doing one yourself using Tri-Wings kit I probably put in just under $9,000 for my conversion. That included body work & paint done at a shop (I'm not a good painter), ez steer conversion to the fork trees, wheels & tires, etc. I did all the work myself thou and also did some things a bit different that what instructions called for as to fitment of the body. So depending on ones wrenching abilities, painting , etc you could spend more or less then what I did. Larry Note: As far as I know at this point only 3 companies offer a trike conversion for the Ventures. Tri-Wing is the only company selling to individuale customers. Hannigan and Chanpion are strickly a dealer installed option.

    Glad ya got the EZsteer. I didn't have a chance to test drive anything but knew it was for the best to have one. So ordered it when I built my trike. That sticker sure can put ya into shock thou. Larry
