I am not sure about the southern states but we have the enhanced DL in WV. I was told by DMV here that the enhanced DL would be in all states within five years.
You should check with your DNR and see about damage permits. We can get them here for damage to our crops. Maybe you can get them there and take Bambi out before he eats every thing.
I have an 03 midnight and from what I have seen. Yamaha made the Midnight for every year of production until they went to the (S) model. As for the other colors they were changed every year. The only thing with the Midnight is they have more chrome that the others.
I have 14 V Star 1300 and have not had any problems with it. I adjust the belt to where I can press it up or down in the middle about 1/2" to 5/8". The biggest problem is trying to keep my son and his wife off of it when I am not on it. I do get some buzzing in the handle bars at HI way speed. If I road it more I would add some weight to the bars to deaden the buzz.
John do you need the steel plates or the fiber plates? I used the steel plates from mine when I did the Barons clutch. I do have 6 of the fiber plates that are useable.
Puc I know there is a 1,000 uses for that stuff but myself I hate it. I prefer JB 80 or White lithium for that little lube job. For rust penetration I have used a mix of Acetone and transmission fluid mixed 50/50.
I wear Rocky Para boots #2090 they are the most comfortable boot that I have worn yet. I have had two pair in 13 years. They are not insulated or water proof but my feet has stayed dry and worm in cold weather riding and not hot in summer.
I have always had better service from Ford than any other maker. I have a Mustang conv. with 111,208 miles and it has never been touched other than oil changes and one set of tires.
