As mentioned, Thank you for your service. If you are creative in packing and realistic on what to put in the rummage sale, you would be surprised what will all fit into a trailer. I moved my sisters whole house of stuff in one trip with a big u-haul trailer and my pickup.

I think Orlin hit it it. We all know the warden has been on his case to thin the herd. Maybe Monday will be the first time Dan listens to the boss......

I guess I was assuming that the op was refering to color changing RGB LEDs.

I remember someone taking off the forks and polishing them. It looked pretty shiny to me. You might not need the chrome plate. You still have to do the polishing even if you do go with the chrome.

If you sand blast the colored plexi and then paint the backside white, then edge light it it will have a nice even glow with no points of light.

Then I should be good, I am still adding more lights. I have 1500 LEDs that I am trying to figure out where to put..... It will be red on the back half and amber on the front half so should be perfectly legal.

Thats not sayin much.......

Well that's different, even a 2nd gen could get there on time now.

Even a 1st gen is gonna be hard pressed to travel fast enough to get there on time.

Why do you event think that Freebird is even folling this nonsense?

What is this "sunshine" that you speak of??? Its still cloudy and getting ready to SNOW AGAIN!

Yup, blue anywhere is a no no. Red shining to the front is also a no no. Even red on the side of the vehicle must only be on the back half, front half must be amber or white. Around here they are even pulling over the ones that drill out the center of the tail light to install a blue crystal, from a distance you really can not see the blue but it does give the whole tail light a purple hue. They are also nabbing all of the cars that went with the blue HID headlights. It seems that about a 6000K color is as blue as you can get away with. If you have color changing LEDs, they are for show only and can not be visible while in motion because the will go red and blue.

Does that Ford dealer sell Chevys? I would never hear the end of it if I ever downgraded to a Ford.....

He was there, saw it first hand ........

Go Darwin......

Since you are doing this to convert to modern LEDs, it is obvious that you must also have modern synthetic blinker fluid. DUH!!!!!:doh:

Around here we have been using full size vans for fill in the pot holes. The vans have a nice flat roof to help level the road some...... I'm sure glad that I have a big 4x4 truck and a winch, it helps to climb out of the smaller holes..... There is no escaping the big ones. Milwaukee style pot hole.

It would take forever to get all of the chrome off that is spoiling the looks .......

What I have gathered from reading about the whine for many years is that some oils will help some bikes. BUT the oil that helps bike A may not help bike B, and the oil that helps bike B may not help bike A. The only thing I have been able to gather is to keep trying different oils till you find the one that YOUR bike likes. There are a lot of oil threads out there, I do not think there is a "bad" name brand oil available. Regardless of oil used, we just do not hear of oil related issues on these engines.

Have you checked the aiming of the headlight? I have never been able to replace a headlight bulb without having to at least tweak the aiming. some bulbs required very large adjustments.

Oh sure, grab the same date (March 15) that the Milwaukee M & E is scheduled for.......

Did you install the restriction tubes. The restrictors do help to calm down the bouncing, but do not eliminate it.

When you say "clicking", are you referring to a single click when the brake ia applied or a series of clicks while holding the brake on? A single click should be the Brake Light Relay doing its thing and would be completely normal. A series of clicks would be something to track down as a possible problem.

In front of a crowd of ice cream eaters no less...... ....Oh the indignity.......

You are close Don. They do get tighter with age. But it is not from shim or cam wear, that would open them up more. The reason they get tighter is that the valve to head surfaces wear causing the valve to seat deeper into the head. As this surface wears you can get to the point of zero clearance where the valve will no longer close completely. This can burn up the valve. So bigger clearance is better.
