Thoughts and prayers for you and your family during this time Puc.

Glad you are okay. I know the first scratch on a new vehicle is rough but this is a little much! Hope you and the bike are back on the road soon.

All right! I'll start with the front go to the back. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I wanted to change the rear brake fluid and wanted to know if I should hook up the mityvac to the rear caliper, the front caliper or somewhere in between to do the best job of removing all of the old fluid while filling at the master cylinder. Hoping I don't destroy it trying to remove the plug.

You had me guessing so I went out to see. I would say at least 10 or more for my fuel pump. I couldn't keep up.

Has anyone tried this balancer? https://www.harborfreight.com/motorcycle-wheel-balancing-stand-98488.html I was looking at mounting and balancing my own tires this winter and am trying to see if its worth doing it myself or having the dealer do it. I'm also looking at these tire tools. [h=1]Motion Pro 08-0536 BeadPro Forged Steel Tire Tool[/h]Thanks in advance for your comments and advise.

You either have done it or will if you ride long enough. Pride always heals faster than road rash!

Wonderful! Who cares what you said, I know you will enjoy it and that's what matters!

The wife and I passed through there last week and looked over the place. You are right Puc, it is a treasure house of old photos and stories. I wish I knew some of the tales behind those pictures. We did pick up some post cards there and had the ice water. It was a nice break from the road then we continued to Rapid City for a couple days of sightseeing.

I need help too. I put mine on yesterday for a ride to the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall here in Kansas and only got 7 miles from the house before I developed a fuel leak and had to return home. Apparently I placed it too high on the fairing

Wow, Looks like it is jet ski weather, not riding weather. Stay safe and I hope it stops soon.

Now I have a windshield available that is 5.5 inches shorter than stock. Fairly good shape, just too short for me. Ready for its new home!

Well, Summer is coming and longer days with more sun than we care for. Keep the bikes and soon it will be great fishing weather and riding weather!

Well, now I guess I will have to be there. Never been in that part of the country anyway.

I would love to go but I am having some work done on me the first week of May so no riding for six weeks

Exactly! Sorry, I looked but missed it.

Hey these suggestions and plans are fantastic but in order to keep members from recreating the wheel each time one of us discovers a great route or place to explore how about we make a place here to save routes or trips so others can use them. There is a wide variety of experiences out there and regional experts who know the best routes and time of year to travel them. Of course the rider will use due diligence before leaving home to check all the information but it might prompt others to see something new or find it in their own back yard.

Basic liability is all I can get on my 89 Venture and 80 Honda Twinstar. I wish I could get more but I guess the insurance company doesn't want to deal with fixing older bikes. Still, I guess I can't complain about 75 a year. Sorry to hear about the prices in Canada, I hope everyone moving there brings their checkbook!

I got the windshield today and I am grateful to get it. Thanks Snyper316. I was surprised it was in one piece, the box looked like it got hit by a Mack truck! I will have it swapped out for this weekend so now I need the weather to cooperate. If anyone is looking for a shorter than stock windshield, I will have one available soon.

I am usually pretty good at knocking things loose without intending to. I had just finished installing valve cover gaskets and was putting those air baffles back in when it popped out on the left side. I was like where did that come from? I jarred it loose jamming the baffle in and as is said in this forum Mama Yama put it in there for a reason so I guess I get to explore putting it back in. Yay Thanks for the tips on reinstalling, I will start with the easier options then see where we go.

That is it, no doubt about it. All I have to do now is figure out how to get it back in there without taking the bike apart!

Hello everyone, I need help figuring out where this part came from. I knocked it loose replacing the front air baffle on the valve cover. [ATTACH=CONFIG]108712
