    I PLAN to bring them...if I just don't FORGET.

    I agree with Mr. Goose. Bad battery was my first thought also.

    I have NEVER heard so much WHINING. Listen folks, you have no idea how many requests I get to "stick" threads. If I stuck, and left stuck, every thread requested then the first couple of pages would be nothing but stickies and the new posts would be buried at the end. I know that this thread is fun and important to some but some of the others have probably been just as important to those who requested them. How about this. I move this thread to the "Fun and Frivolous" topic area and I can stick it there. Would that help?

    Yes, got them both. Will get them out as soon as they arrive. I'm being told the week of the 23rd now. Thanks all.

    I agree with the tires. Very common. Some brands are worse than others.

    OK folks, I have decided to "unstick" this thread. It has been at the top for almost 2 years and we just get too many threads stuck to the top. If you want to keep it active and up high, you will just need to POST to it. :

    OK....thanks for the orders so far. Everybody has included their address to that is good. At this point, about 65 have been sold so there are plenty left at this time.

    They are bad. The antennas on the '99 models were total junk. There is no set screw, they are a press fit and many have gotten loose just as yours have. It may seem OK right now but you will eventually start getting a squeal when you key the mic. That is because now that they are lose, you will start getting some corrosion where it is slipping off. You could clean it off but then it will get even more lose. Yamaha upgraded the antennas starting with the 2000 models. Many of us have replace those on the '99 with Firestiks or some other aftermarket brand.

    It is a bit sad for me and for all here that know him to think about him being so far away. I do respect and admire him for what he is doing though and will pray for his success and safety. I can't even imagine how Mini must feel but I hope that the fact that she has such a HUGE family HERE....will help in some way. We will miss you while you are gone Jeff, you are one of the best.

    That would be tuff for me...having no idea what they are doing. I hope you don't end up with a Mary Kay bike....but if you do, you would probably sell it to Muffin Man. I know you must be getting excited and we are looking forward to seeing the pictures.

    The only one I've seen that could be removed easily would be the Corbin seat with backrest. It has a screw that can be removed so that the backrest will just slide out. Just leave that screw out and it would work great. Corbins are expensive though and many people just don't like them because they are so hard. I LOVE mine.

    There are none made for the stock RSV mufflers. I have seen some folks use the RSTD tips on them but it requires some drilling and tapping as the stock RSV mufflers are not designed to use them. Some of us have bought RSTD mufflers off Ebay and other places and use those. They are the same as the RSV mufflers except they have tips that can be turned out, down, etc. If you don't mind LOUD...Khromewerks does make a very nice set of mufflers with different tips available.

    OH...I do but it's not anything except my artwork that they reworked and sent back. It is not like a representation of the actual decal, just my artwork which is basically our logo as used on the small patch.

    The CB antenna is SUPPOSED to be on the left side. If it's not, you SHOULD care. If they are not right, you have been lucky so far but it truly can destroy your CB radio and you will not like the repair bill. It takes about 3 minutes to unscrew them and swap sides. Why would anybody take the chance?

    Sorry, can't post a picture until they arrive. Will do that when they get here if there are any unsold.

    I had absolutely no problems with power, overheating or anything else while riding the highest peaks in Colorado. The bike did great.

    Brad and Lonna, I'm really sorry to hear the news but I think you should look at it as an opportunity. An opportunity to follow your dreams and find a place that makes you happy. Life is too short to settle for anything less. Good luck and let me know if there is anything I can do.

    Here is their web page. You can find more info and pictures there also. Sure hope to see a LOT of you there. http://www.hubinfo.com/

    I sent you a PM.

    Very nice Art and it really is good to have you back.
  21. Freebird
    Yes, please let us know. I just went into shock.
  22. Freebird
    If I hear banjos, I will NOT be "backing up".

    I haven't had a problem with mine and have had to do nothing other than let it connect. All the contacts transferred automatically. I agree that it probably depends on the phone.
  24. Freebird
    Yes, but that's the same thing as the Racing 4T, Mobil just renamed it.

    It is hit and miss at Walmarts near me. A few have it but many don't. Some have a little section dedicated to motorcycle items and that is usually where you find it, not with the other oils. Some Walmarts around here don't even have a motorcycle section though.
