    I used to have a copy of that pic for years, but lost it in the HD crash. It looks like someone has photohyped the height big time.

    On our 25th the kids sent us on an all expences paid trip to the Carribian. We're dropping hints about Hawaii for our 50th....

    It looks cool, if that's what you like, but removal of the antennas when putting on a cover is what I'm dealing with now. I know they do fold down but it's just as much trouble to unscrew the keeper as remove the antenna. I want to put the cover on without having to take the antennas off, and I also like the all metal spring loaded base sleeves of the upgrade OEM antennas. If I can install them using the original cables, it would be a plus.

    Mine isn't a Bush but I can open up my lid with out a key, but is lockable when needed. Maybe this style will help

    It's the cable conection to the mount that's the big problem. The antenna base is swedged onto the cable end. It's all one piece and an SOB to remove. I'm wondering if anyone has redone the connection when they've replaced the older plastic based antennae with the newer metal based type, or did they have to go out and pick up new cables?? And how'd it work afterwards. I finally cleaned out the cable tip and parts from the base, and wished I had a diagram of the components and how they built the Dang thing in the first place. I know enough about CB antennae to understand the function of the connector, just want to get it right using the original cable off the older antennas.... Buying new cables is out of the question. I just don't want to end up with a glob of PL259's and fold down or spring loaded adapters on the bracket...

    Yep, producing a good mold is the hard part. That's where all your imperfections are going to show up. Try it on a 40' boat mold sometime..... Not fun...

    Has anyone on the board ever upgraded their '99 CB and Radio antennas to the newer style. The pics and diagrams in the service pdf aren't all that great and leave a lot of questions. Just wondering what you had to do to get'r done.... I have the complete setup including the brackets. I'm not all that interested in doing the Marshall Antenna Mod, so those suggestions are gonna fall on deaf ears... Any insight would be appreciated....

    Ditto on that. I've tried others but keep coming back to Advanced.... I did upgrade and then my HD crashed during a lightening storm and I lost the program. I just went ahead and downloaded the Free version and it's doing fine. I suppose I could contact them to see if they still have a record of the upgrade, but I can't see much gain. http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html

    It all depends on how much preload you'd like. My new Progressives came with two 6" spacers. I tried the whole spacer, but for me at least it was a PITA compressing the spring enough to get the caps started. So I cut one spacer in half and ending up with each two 3" spacers.. If you compress the spring too much you'll defeat the progressive action only leaving the stiffer section and a harder ride. I still had the Class to adjust air load. Worked great.

    You can run them in any position except upside down.

    I just picked up a couple of bike covers off Ebay from China. Got'm in about 10 days. So I guess Homeland Security only applies to certain countries.... Maybe it's "He who has the gold, makes the rule".... What get's me is why the H they're opening up packages in the first place. They have drug dogs, where are the bomb dogs??

    Gout's a b-itch. I've never had it that bad, but from what I have had, I can only imagine what kind of pain you're in. Prayer's sent.

    Just about every Y part is keystoned.... In other words doubled from wholesale price. So at 40% they're still making 10% on Internet sales. Not great, but a lot better than 50% of nothing. My local Y deal just had a parts sale where everything was $1 buck over cost. One interprising individual walked in and ordered a set of Billet Wheels to the tune of $1200. Saved big bucks....

    And Bob's gonna slap me too.... The Odyssey is an AGM not a Lithium.... If it were a lithium it would weigh practically nothing when compared to a wet cell,, or AGM.... Here's a link to the new Lith's. http://www.shoraipower.com/s-46429-XVZ13-Royal-StarVenture-All.aspx

    We had a member from the Carson City/Reno area do his in Canary Yellow. I haven't seen anything from him in a while so he's probably moved on. I didn't find him listed in the member list either. Did a great job bringing an old girl back to life....

    Cheap GPS

    Condor replied to Condor's topic in Watering Hole

    Overstock, discontinued, refurb. Who knows?? For the price with text to voice it's a nice entry level GPS. If it croaks... toss it. If you plan on using it for a guidence system on an ICBM I'd look elsewhere..... If you want one with a lot of features do a search on Ebay for the [ame=http://cgi.ebay.com/GARMIN-GPS-STREETPILOT-C550-MP3-BLUETOOTH-GPSMAP-NUVI-/330522582551?pt=GPS_Devices&hash=item4cf4ae5e17]Garmin c550[/ame]. Youi can buy them used fairly reasonable. Bluetooth, MP3, GPS all rolled into one. I own two of them. Great for hands free cell phone while driving in the car. Just look for one that's still in the box, unlocked, and unregistered.

    I just ran across this while browsing Ben's Outlet. Looks like a real deal. http://bensoutlet.com/products/nextar-m3

    I could be wrong, but I don't think so. If you settle for the offending party's limits in essence what your saying is the policy limits are agreeable. If you do have under insured coverage this might negate it. If you've maxed out the guys coverage then the under insured will kick in from your policy. I think you'd still need to take the guy to court and let them put a total value of your loss. Once it's on record you can go after your insurance co to cough up the difference... I'm also surprised that a lawyer would turn down a possible deep pockets case. When the policy's out of coverage, you can go after the Bar for letting the guy get that drunk, the Sheriff for not doing his job... heck, the maker of the guy's truck because they didn't install a breatalizer.... You may not win anything but I bet you could get a lot of nuisance settlement offers....

    That's amazing. And the quality of the production on my monitor looked like BluRay. Thanks for sharing. Maybe we can put on the woolen undies and do a Polar Bear ride in late March or early April?? Wonder what the roads are like?? I wonder if the term Frazel Ice comes from the word Frazeled... being confused..?? Aptly named...
