I’ll punch out a few sets this weekend and keep some hanging on the wall, already planned to fire the shop up and make some passenger pegs anyway.

https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/929399205145422/ Thinking it probably needs a pin replaced. If it was closer to me I’d be on the way to check it out.

Had X-rays and MRI, doc says the hip is good. No explanation for the pain unless coming from my back. The nerve bundle going to the hip passes between the two vertebrae I crushed in a wreck 36 years ago. Gonna get that checked soon,

Haven’t been riding much, back and hip problems keeping me sidelined. Last week we had a 70* day so I sucked it up and we did almost 200 miles. West TN dragon, crossed the ferry, and back to Ky all on back roads.

Left side behind side cover. Take off passenger foot board.

I run the Shinko front with a darkside rear. Been happy with it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣That sounds like something my wife would do: “But it’s on sale and a really good price “. Never mind I’m spending $200 to save $50.

First step, open the front fairing. On the right side of the radio(as sitting on bike) you’ll see a bundle of large round plugs, unplug and clean them and add some dielectric grease. That fixes the majority of similar issues. Welcome to our circus by the way. You can find information for about anything on the bike here and even more that’s not bike related 🤣. We have a good time here.

Looks like a great deal to me. As far as the pipes go I’m an OEM fan, I like my bike quiet. The first thing I did to mine was to change the pipes back to original, luckily the PO still had them.

Hope y’all make it thru without further sickness.

I haven’t messed with an Eluder but I used a clamp made for pontoon Bimini tops on the grab bars of my 2nd Gen and built the arm rests from there. Maybe you can do something similar or build up from the grab bar mounts.

You’re right the weather was great, we made the mistake of taking the boat out instead of the bike. Fishing was a bust.

I’m a Season’s Inn people too.

Found ya. 🤣🤣🤣

I use the community map, enlarge the area you want to look at.

Working with a dr for a few more weeks to see what my spring looks like, hoping to start planning a get together here again soon. Looking maybe early June. Loose plans to take a trip up the Blue Ridge in July with the marm before school fires up. It’ll be her last summer vacation before retiring in 2024. Hoping to make Vogel in August, a lot depends on the next few weeks dealing with the doc on my back and hip.

We had an HR manager that liked to use that line. I invited her to ride a fire truck for a few days to see if she still believed it. She declined. Many accidents are caused by complacency or carelessness but some can’t be foreseen.

We each put 1 present under the tree and draw numbers, when your number is up you can choose to open a present or steal one that somebody else already has. With that many people it can get lively. We have a lot of fun whether you’re stealing something you want or just doing it to mess with somebody else.

You can keep this crap up there. We’ll get some ice tonight and a little snow, gone in a few days. Bike weather again.

Good new is it won’t stick around long. Back to fishing or motorcycles next week.

I come from a very large family so it was always a nightmare getting everybody in one place at any given time, let alone getting to two or three places in a day. Several years ago we moved our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to the Saturday after the holiday making it much easier to manage, this year we had Christmas a week early because of New Years. Nobody is in a rush to get to the next place and we have plenty of time to visit. With around 40 people at dinner it works for us. Instead of the usual truck load of gifts we do a Chinese auction with a $20-$30 gift which is fun with so many people stealing your present. Christmas morning we’ll go to her sister’s house for lunch then back to normal.

Prayers for continued recovery.

Wishing all y’all a Merry Christmas. Be careful of the cold weather coming, we’ll be seeing temps not seen in years here. The bikes are covered and warm for the next few weeks.

We’re in the same boat. We’re looking to downsize and have a single story house. I have appointments soon to look at a hip replacement and maybe some work on my back. Stairs are not my friend, and since the kids are grown we have way too much house.
