    OK folks I recieved a couple of e-mails concerning the departure time. Kickstand up (departure time) will be at 8:30. Anyone wanting breakfast should arrive early enough to have breakfast and be ready to go. Matter of fact if it appears everyone who have said they're coming is there we may even leave before 8:30. We'll see on that at the time. See ya all in the morning. Larry.

    I bought one off e-bay that's rubber on inside and leather on outside. I'll have to look up the info later as well as post a pic. Mine has conchos and red piping on the edges. Larry

    I've only seen one out so far and it was parked with some other rocket riders. A dealer near by is carring them as well. Don't know if they've any/many yet thou. Larry

    quote: Larry I was thinking about taking 75-south to 420-south to 20-south/east to 303-east to Hawley road. This way it's 135 miles. This way cuts out most of the freeway. What do you think. Al Sounds good to me. Never been on that route before so no idea what road is like. Let's wait and see what weather will be. If we get a late start then might be best to hit the e-way to make up time. Looked at the route on my MS map program. It's almost a straight shot to Don's once you get off 2-80 Larry

    JT just remember one thing here. The folks on this site are & will be pulling for you and your wife.I pray you'll soon be seeing more highs than low on the roller coaster of a ride you're on. May the Lord in Heaven see fit to bless you all in these trying times. Larry

    Posted a few pics of the new Ion trailer I bought last week. Been looking for a while at various makes, models & styles. Loved this teardrop style from the get-go but wasn't sure about pricing. While checking around I found a local dealer who just happened to have a demo available at a price I couldn't refuse. Here's a couple of links to web sites for those who may be interested. --- http://www.jemanufacturing.com/ http://www.golittleguy.com/cms/component/option,com_zoom/Itemid,77/catid,31/ Larry

    OK Folks I'll say we meet at the Leon's restaurant on Telegraph road in Taylor. I'll suggest kickstand time up at 8:30 as we're looking at about 2 1/2 hr drive to Freebirds place. Time may or may not change as I'll be looking at weather reports since as of now there's supposed to be a slight chance of morning rain. As we head south the weather should clear up. Time will tell on this. Larry

    I used Kurykyn 's Pilot Pegs with offset mounts & magnum clamps #4438. I didn't want big footrests thus going with these. And the offsets are plenty long enough as well. As others here say just adjust them them to clear the vents when they're open all the way. Here's a link to them -- http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp?bn=Harley&ci=3216 Larry

    Ok folks let's get a heads up here on who's going to Freebirds on Saturday? 1. Who's going to go in the morning and come back that evening? 2. Time & place to meet up for the ride down? I think this will depend on who's going where we meet so I'll hold off on suggesting a location till we see who signs on here. Larry Posted time & location on post #11

    What'd you except from Beer30 after a few too many brews.??? Forget that fine print stuff. Larry
  14. Carbon_One
    Yep those kind of mistakes sure get ones attention in a hury. Not only older & wiser but a few more gray hairs too I bet. Even seeing that axle about to fall off will get your heart pumping. Be careful folks, lifes short enough as it is. Larry

    Congratulations for Jeff. As all have said you're a proud Papa too. Mom is smiling from Heaven for sure. Larry

    Yep and I hope they throw the book at him & give the maximum sentence allowed by local law. Larry

    Wider then stock but not tinted. Supposed to be 1" higher than the stock shield but due to my front end being raked it falls either short or even with stock height. My passenger says she's getting too much wind so....... Larry

    I'll have a new (1 month old) Clearview XL shield w/vent (clear) for sale once it's replacement arrives. Just ordered that this week so looking at the 4-6 week delivery time here. If no one in this post puts dibs on it I'll be putting it in the Classifieds here. Larry

    I bought mine diect from the company and used our discount for reduced pricing. Used the stuff for two years but never had a flat or anything to cause loss of air. In fact I just added some to the trikes rear tires for as Floyd says-- peace of mind. Larry

    Scotty I like the way you think. Love your web site too. Good job on it. Larry

    We'll be at Skid's meet so going to Mark's memorial ceremony shouldn't be a problem as it's on the way home. A great way to honor him. Larry

    Many of us here have bought the air deflectors that Yamaha sells for these lowers. Here's a link from Yamaha's site -- http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/433/1812/11878/all/1/4607/0/detail.aspx Check some of the on-line vendors for better prices. http://www.mrcycles.com/ http://www.dgy.com/ http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/ http://www.zanottimotor.com/ You could also remove the fork deflectors by the forks and the clear deflectors that attach to the fairing for more air too.

    Joe you can stop overr here and measure mine if you wish. And no mine aren't for sale as I'm using them. Larry

    I'll second Charlie here. While I knew some of the attendees there's always others who are new to me. As Charlie says you're no stranger to anyone once you sit down and start up a chat. Never been to a meet & eat or rally yet that wasn't overwhelmingly friendly yet. Don't think there ever will be one either as folks just seem to accept any and all. Larry

    Don is correct when he says the bearings have little grease from the factory. I pulled the trees out of my bike when I was converting it to the trike so they could be raked by Steer-Rite. Anyhow seeing as how little grease there was on the bearings I'm supprised that they'll even last 50k and I can see now why some folks have had to keep re-adjusting the bearings. Larry
