Very very good point Marcarl...!!!!!!!! ... thanks for reminding me of this one... (tire should be even by the ridge all the way around and even side to side)

....I dont think you have any photos in your album... either that or you didnt have much of a turn out at your M&E....

My suggestions are: Jack the front wheel off the ground. Place a small 2x4 block in front of your tire and as close as you can to the front of the tire but not touching the tire, just very very close to the tire. Then by hand, you slowly (very slowly) turn the tire and carefully watch to see if the tire touches the 2x4. Make sure the 2x4 is as close to the tire as you can get it with out it touching before you start. If the tire does rub or touch the 2x4 you could have a bent, (or out of round), rim. Another test: Again with the front wheel off the floor. Squeeze the front brake lever. Pump it up good and squeeze it about 4 or five times. Now again slowly turn your front wheel and dilligently listen & feel if the rotor is "dragging" on the front brake pads..itmay touch just a tiny bit, but Im saying you are checking for a "drag" where it becomes harder to turn the tire... If it does become harder to turn, you could have a warped rotor, or your front caliper may be sticking and not releasing properly. Another test: Check the oil level in the front forks. I would never ever think that the dealer may have forgotten to install fork oil now ... but hey, you never know and you could be running on air pressure only... you cant tell with out checking.. I would also check the air pressure in each fork and I personally run 3 to 5 lbs in each fork.. Caution Note: Do not use an air compressor to put air into the front fork fittings..I suggest using a small hand pump where you can control the amount you are putting in so you dont blow out the fork seals.. You can also do the tire check, the brake caliper check and air pressure check to your rear tire to make sure it is ok too..

You can tap into a hot power line, but I personally ran mine straight to the battery, since it comes with an inline fuse. The fuse is placed under my seat where I can easily get to it if need be.. If you need any help,once you get into the fairing, just give me a call.. phone number is in my profile, and I would be happy to walk you through it.

Well I personally think it is a GOOD thing that your GPS didnt arrive sooner boss.... I mean going on a four day anniversary trip and all...I really don't think you wife would really appreciate you playing with an electronic gismo more that paying attention to her for the next four days... Count it as a blessing that it didn't arrive sooner my friend.

Your wife is just too damn good to you... nice!!

Mine does the same thing...road grime, rain water, all that junk getting in it. All I do is spray it with a spray type silicone and work the kick stand back and forth and it frees up instantly.. I place the bike on a floor jack to do this of course..... I spray the kickstand on my 05 RSV about every other month to keep it free.... While your lubing things up, make sure you remove the toe heal shifter and lube the shaft it is on...then use loc-tight when reinstalling the bolt.. use grease on the shifter shaft. A lot of folks forget to apply grease at this spot...

Brad, Im sure happy to hear you and your family are OK except for a few bumps here and there. It sure could have been worse by the looks of your car. I hope all of you heal quickly and this ordeal gets behind you. (I'm very happy you weren't on your bike) I see when you do something ........you do a niff"T" job....but not very pret "T" I wish you all a "safe" Happy New Year........

Craig, Here is what a lot of us have used. This GPS mount bolts right to your stock brake reservoir clamp on the handlebar. It comes with longer metric bolts and you can get it in chrome or black finish. You just need to make sure your GPS style unit has a "ball" mounting plate... http://products.ram-mount.com/rammount/productdetail.aspx?partnumber=RAM-B-309-1CHU

No gift or anything purchased could have been better than just having everyone in our family coming over and being together for the first time in fourteen years was the best ever. We are all planning to do it again next year already..

Better you..than me....my man I have been having a ball today at my place... been in a T shirt, with garage door open, cleaning the garage out, emptying the wet dry vac bucket and cleaning it's filter..Tinkering around outside having a good time and enjoying my days off. You can have all that snow... It sure looks beautiful in a photo or on TV, but I dont want no part of it anymore.. I shoveled enough snow in my life for 23 years..no more for me..
