I use a natural gas heater made by Modine called Hot Dawg. Set the thermostat and forget it if I want. Most times I'll turn it on in the morning, eat breakfast, and go to work in comfort. I used to use a wood stove for years and while it warmed up the garage good it was a royal pain dealing with wood , ashes, and waiting to heat up the garage. One big plus was it's a cheap heat thou labor intensive. Now that I have the gas heater I'll never look back. Larry

Saw set up similar to that at a trikers rally but they didn't use a donor car. It was a Honda VTX with dual wheels up front. It was still driven by the rear wheel and mc engine thou. Got a pic of it somewhere in the files so will post it up later. Larry

Several items on the bike shout out H-D imo, so have to agree with Bubber. Crash bars and lower cowlings Fairing looks to be a Road Glide . (frame mounted) Tank and instruments tank badge trunk & back rest Bag are different then current styles. Larry

Looking for Headsets - Shorty helmets
Carbon_One replied to thecount's topic in GPS, Audio, Electronics
Wife just ordered a set of these headsets. We like the idea of the way they can be taken on/off easly if we don't want to use them. Here's a link to the web site. http://www.twowheelsound.com/id127.html You'll also need to order the lower hook up cord. Called them yesterday. Shipped today so should have it in hand soon. If I can hear with them well enough then I'll order a set for myself. Hoping I can anyhow. Larry -
It don't show up if you're on home page. But does under any of the fourms. Larry

Tri-Wings Ford axle is inverted and then shortened. Standard gearing is 3.43 as opposed to the factory gearing on a 2nd gen at 3.03. They will also supply a 3.73 gearing if requested. Which is the same as a VMax gearing if I recall correctly. Anyhow I've found that the 3.43 is just about perfect . Not to high on the revs but low enough to compensate for the extra weight of the trike. At a true 70 mph the tach on my bike is reading 3600 rpm. Hope this helped. Larry

I have the Clearview shield w/vent and love it. As a former Suzuki Volusia owner congratulations on moving up to these great bikes. Yea the Vol/C-50's are a good bike but these RSV's can't be beat on the highways or for rider comfort. Have fun accessorizing the bike. Larry

Yep too good to be true. Now I wonder what'll happen to the dudes who pulled off this scam. They were paid some serious money by a BigFoot orginazation. Looks like they could be facing some fraud charges. Oh and now they can't be found either. Took the money and run. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,406101,00.html Oh well. Fun while it lasted.

Another solution would be to polish the edges. Eddie took that option one step further and had them diamond cut. It looks awesome done up like that too. Larry

Driving Light Relay?

Or come to the Michigan Maintanence Day & BBQ this coming Saturday, I'll rewire it for you if you want. Larry -
Considering that you only have a single flag and pole and that you are a Canadian I say fly your countrys flag as is and be proud of it. Is it proper to fly it in the US? I think so. I seriously doubt it will cause you any grief. In fact I have done just the opposite in the past and have visited Canada with a US flag mounted on the bike. Never had any problems there. Enjoy your trip here in the US. Larry

Was wondering when you'd drop in on this topic Bigfoot. Certainly glad it isn't you for sure. My thoughts on this is they'll compare the dna with known samples to rule out matches. What they'll do if all come back negative is a guess thou. Should be ineresting to see what the conclusions are. Larry

http://www.ktvu.com/news/17174989/detail.html?taf=fran How about it? What's our Georgia residents have to say here? Real deal or fake? Larry

Both will fit fine. I will disagree with Squidley thou. Sorry Bud. My reason is if both are to be installed then you can use the rack as a centering point. I suggest covering the lid with wide painters tape. Take measurements and find the center of the lid. Mark a line front to back. Place the rack on and after getting either front or rear mounting tabs centered mark the legs positions on the tape. I prefered mounting the rack forward enough that there's just enough room between the backrest abd rack to slide your hand between them. This will keep weight more forward and not stress the rear of the lid as much. Now when mounting the spoiler it's easy to position it due to the marked center line and knowing just how much room you have between the rack and top of the spoiler. Get it too close and it's a bear cleaning. To far back and the lights end up pointing downward, making it harder for drivers behind you to see the lights. Especialy in day times. Mind you this is just one persons opinion and we all know what opinions are. Larry

Sorry to hear this of your friends or anyone else for that matter. Hate to read these posts when there is nothing one can do. If people would only pay attention to what they're doing while driving the world would be much safer for everyone else on the road. Prayers and wishing a speedy recovery for all involved. Larry
