    I hear ya Herb, but I just don't want to be standing on the top of a mountain in a lightening storm, with my sword held high, and trust it's not my time.... I'm not going to hide under a rock, but there's no replacing common sense and situation awareness....

    Other than putting it on a rougher surface you might check the pivot bolt to see if it might have tightened up on you. You might also put a little lube on the yoke. The feet are smooth so they don't 'bite' like some of the others and have a tendency to slide if there's any sort of mechanical resistance.

    While sitting here in the office I have the local news network on in the background. What used to be an occassional report has been getting very common. Motorcycle vs. what ever they can hit..... Not just once a day, but several times a day... basically during commuter hours. This morning's was a fatality. I tell ya it's getting so I don't want to go around the block on two wheels... Even while riding around in the truck or 'Burb watching the crazies, I look around and I'm thankful I'm in a cage..... It's ridiculous.

    On the bike I just leave the power cord plugged in and stow the GPS. In the truck, and Suburban, I don't even bother unplugging them...just turn them off.... and sometimes I forget to do that too... I hear ya on the hard wire. When I get around to saving up enough $, I think I'm going to try the Bluetooth route....

    Yep, I swiped it.....

    I just picked up my second Garmin Streetpilot c550 off Ebay, for $70 bucks total, because I liked the first one so much, and the Omnitech in the truck was getting confused a lot lately. Anti-glare screen, bluetooth, and MP3. What more do you need? It even looks like a Zumo 550.... It just isn't water proof, but I don't ride in the rain anyway.....

    Congrats on the new GK.... 15 huh? I think I have around that amount. Maybe more but I've lost count... only have 10 fingers. I did have another GGK hit the deck about 2 weeks ago. Makes number 6 with two more in the oven. Geeze that's depressing.....

    Yeah, I called Bub and they said they're going back to the polished aluminum because of the flaking. They quoted me $110 for new replacement polished tips. The buff cost me $40 bucks. I think I won one???

    Just a little update... The chrome that was starting to flake came off easily, but the stuff that wasn't flaking was a PITA. So I took the tips down to my local polishing shop to see they could do. The attached pics are the result. Still searching for some stainless wire. The packing's easy to find, but the screen is proving to be a challenge. Anyone know of a source?? Thought I'd check with a local food service equipment supplier.

    Take them to a shop that does car show chrome.. Locally we have one called sherm's, no job is too small. If you don't want to mess with them and want to get rid of those ugly old covers, give me a shout....

    You might be better off getting an AGM instead of the gel. Even the slightest charge over 13.4 volts will really mess up a gel, and our bikes generally are putting out 14 to 14.2vdc. AGM's can take the voltage, just watch the amps and keep them between 2 and 6, which isn't that big of a problem with our stator output...

    Not to rub salt in a wound, but wouldn't it have been easier to take the peelers you have now and have them rechromed?? That's what I plan on doing with the chromed passenger boards I have on my '99... It'll be a while since they look great when up, and I ride solo mostly... the peeling is on the tread side, and it's minor.. so far.. BTW what are you going to do with your old set??

    Not sure I understand the K&N vs. OEM filter statement??? Since the OEM filter won't work with the billet cover, does that mean the K&N's will not work with an OEM cover??? Why would there be a difference, if any?? Would just like to know....??

    I think the post might have been in jest......

    MKII manuals come up for auction on Ebay from time to time. They usually go for $25-$30 bucks.

    When I bought the '99 came with a very recent, but just out of warantee, AGM battery. When I'd let it sit for a couple of weeks the battery would croak. Really unusual for an AGM, so I figured it might have a short somewhere in the system. Because I couldn't find my smart battery charger I used the grandson's old school charger the first time it went dead. Charged it up, started it, and the bike ran fine. Let it sit for another 2 weeks. Tried again yesterday and dead again. I finally located my charger and hooked it up, and after an hour or so it started throwing a bad cell error code. So it wasn't any kind of short in the system. Just a bad AGM. Calling Bohanan this morning. It's DEKA Time.....

    I got into geneology about 15 years ago using the web, but haven't done much with it for years. I lucked into a bunch of info by just searching the web with some of the old search engines. Of course my surname isn't that common so it was a little easier than Smith.... Here's a place that might be of help when trying to trace the tree.... http://www.cyndislist.com/ I also use Brother's Keeper software to keep everything straight. http://www.bkwin.org/ So far I go back to 1642 and haven't spent a dime....

    Tough discision, and I can sympathise. When younger we're going to ride forever, but as time waits for no man we must make the wise choice eventually. Don't loose the desire or forget this place, where you can still dream....

    Ya know, after blowing the pic up to 400% Don's right. It is a reflection. Still a crazy price....
  21. Condor
    Yeah, I've seen them for that price. Crazy... If you do end up with them I'd kinda like to hear about their condition?? K&N's would be a plus. I just picked up a new set off Ebay for $55 bucks. I wonder what it would cost to chrome the OEM covers??? I seem to remember a member posting that he had a source for chroming plastic. Might not be the same style, but it would be bling....
  22. Condor
    Yeah, maybe it is a reflection, but I can't see it either way. It's just that they come off a wrecked bike. I guess that influences what I'm looking at.... I'm so easily swayed.....
  23. Condor
    I'm not intirely sure, but is the one on the left busted??? Anyway it looks like it is to me....
  24. Condor
    Time to put on those studded tires and ride......

    Ran acrossed this one while surfing the Ebay wave.... I can't believe there are two fools... yes I can... that have more money than brains. I haven't seen a good ebay pissing contest in quite a while....
