I don’t recommend the 404 on rear unless you like changing them. My 86 ate em in a short while.

You’re a long way from KY or I’d help you out on an 86. Got one I parked in the shop 4 or 5 years ago when I went 2nd Gen. I thought I’d still ride it sometimes but didn’t.

Welcome @IMSA GTP FanPost over in the 1st gen tech forum or watering hole to get more info. You’re going to find linked brakes on all 1st gens, talk to @skydoc_17about his de-link kit. 83’s and the early 84’s have a second gear issue that’ll have to be checked on. As far as the engine These things are bulletproof as is, maybe check the valve clearance and run it like you stole it. Only way I’ve ever heard of one going down is from carbs leaking and hydro locking the engine, keep carbs clean and you’re good. They love to rev and are a blast to ride.

Looks suspiciously familiar to me. Maybe a conspiracy going on? Congrats Skid.

Or an 08 Ultra Classic?

Let me guess, it’s a HD.

If you get the Hannigan bring it to the KY rally next year. We’ll do the factory tour again. Or if not come on down anyway. 🤣🤣🤣

Be prepared on the test ride, Hannigan’s RSV reverse has enough torque to launch. Tap the button. Just ask Robin.

Pillion intercom mic quit working, dream come true right??? I Ass-U-MEd it was a cable, replaced both lower and upper with no fix. Headset speakers work just not the mic. It’s equipped with Mic Mutes also. Plan to start with cable under the trunk next, check mute wiring, then plugs in the fairing. Anybody ran into this that can offer up what they found? I have tried multiple helmets since the cable change, it’s in the bike somewhere. It’s been an on again/off again problem recently, I’ve messed with plugs in the fairing without change.

Unread content is what I have bookmarked so it opens to that when I click VR. Opens fine for me.

Same people, same kind of riding, same stories, same bikes, same awesome time 🤣🤣🤣. Vogel State Park, Blairsville GA. Had a blast last year.

Got in an hour ago. Heavy rain and lightning, had to pull off 4 times. Had a blast, thanks y’all.

Best wishes on your ride, hope you both can enjoy it.

Welcome aboard, not many of us Kentuckians here. I’ll be riding thru your neck of the woods tomorrow heading back from Asheville.

It was good to meet you. Hope all is well.

I use a 12v Bluetooth receiver inside the fairing, plugs into the aux wire in there. I stream music from my phone. Many gut the cassette and make a small storage there, I installed charger ports behind the door.

Bike is ready, packing up, pulling out 0600. See y’all tomorrow night.

Good luck on the healing D.J.

Thanks Mike, that was starting to concern me. 🤣

Ha. Mine both did it in my trucks. I turned off traction control and pulled the fuse out of the ABS. Lots of fun. The big thing to me is they both moved away for college and I’m not afraid to let them drive anywhere.

Swapped mine around today and flushed.

Ha. When I took my youngest to get her license there was a man and wife to test. They were from another country here for college. He passed, she left with the examiner, 5 minutes later they were back with the examiner driving. My kids had to pass my test first that was much harder than the state’s. My kids drove in storms, on ice, interstates, and cities while on their permits. I cut too many people out of wrecks to take it easy on em.

Finally got the old girl on the lift. Added load resistors to fix the LED fast flash and another new windshield. Didn’t like the medium Clearview, went XL. New plugs, brakes, fluids, Barnett clutch tomorrow and a carb synch to get ready. See y’all Wednesday evening.

Enjoy the trip. We plan to head west for a big tour when the wife retires.

I’ve got all new pads to install before Asheville, just haven’t had time yet. I got home from Huntsville Monday night to find we were victim to a lightning strike that took out my well pump. Got that replaced yesterday so on to a shop cleaning and bike maintenance.
