  1. 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....
  2. 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...
  3. 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??
  4. 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....??
  5. I think the post might have been in jest......
  6. MKII manuals come up for auction on Ebay from time to time. They usually go for $25-$30 bucks.
  7. 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.....
  8. Loved the movie.... Less filling...taste's great!!..... :rotf:
  9. 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....
  10. 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....
  11. Ya know, after blowing the pic up to 400% Don's right. It is a reflection. Still a crazy price....
  12. 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....
  13. 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.....
  14. I'm not intirely sure, but is the one on the left busted??? Anyway it looks like it is to me....
  15. Time to put on those studded tires and ride......
  16. 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....
  17. If it has the CLASS it's a Royale......
  18. Rode around for a couple of days on the '99 when I first bought it. Finally got out on the freeway up shifting as needed. Looked down at the dash and there was a light on I hadn't seen before. Thought 'oh cr@p' and started looking for an exit. Started to down shift into 4th and the dang thing went away. Then the lightbulb went on. 5th gear indicator light.... DOH!!!
  19. If it has the CLASS it's a Royale at heart....
  20. There is a small microscopic relief hole in the floor of the reserve. It can get plugged with crystals formed by old DOT 3 causing the clutch to slip when engine gets hot due to expanding fluid.
  21. I've added you to the list Jim. Sorry, I only do braces... But, lemme check and see if I have a CMU floating around in my 'stash'.... If not, entire dashes show up on Ebay. They go for a lot less than a new one from Y....
  22. No problem..... It's nice to win one every once in a while......
  23. If you think you might be interested in a Fork Brace for your 1stGen, add your post to this thread. If I get enough interested folks on the list I'll go ahead and place another order instead of waiting around as planned until next spring. Just a note. I've been doing this fork brace thing for a couple of years now and at last count shipped over 150 braces. I do this for the members of this board, not for the general public. So if you want to be added to the list please be a supporting member. Thanks. Here's a link to the classified ad that has the info for cost and payment. 1. Prairiehammer PD/shipped 2. MikeZ06Allen 3. Jayceesfolly PD/shipped 4. Longrider805 PD/shipped 5. wstuart 6. snow4brains PD/shipped 7. Ottawa PD/shipped 8. LouNY PD/shipped 9. kevin-vic-b.c. PD/shipped
  24. OK folks, the last brace has just been sold. The plan was, and still is, to wait until next spring to put in another order, but I'm now going to start another thread that anyone who's interested can sign up on. Not a commitment, but interested. If I get enough riders interested, I won't wait until spring.
