    I think they are both beautiful bikes. Goldwing will win hands down in regards to performance and they are a beautiful bike. I just love the classic Harley look and the sound. For me, it would be the Ultra Classic but that's just because I love the style and I even like the offbeat shake of the engine.

    I agree...if this is going to turn into a nasty confrontation, take it elsewhere please.

    That was my question too. I could just ride over to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Of course, that would mean going into downtown Cleveland so I think I'll pass on that idea.

    Say what you want but I got plenty of tickets when I was younger and a few lectures instead of tickets. I prefer the lecture thank you and some of them DID sink into my thick skull.

    Beautiful bike Eck and one of my favorite colors. WOW...now not only do we have a Wing rider organizing our '09 VentureRider Rally but also one of our MODERATORS riding a Wing. What has the world come to.

    I have the Hopnel bib on mine but I too removed the rubber strip. Just didn't seem that the new one would lay down nice and smooth over the top of it.

    Nice...

    I've always liked them. Unless something has changed, they are made in India now.

    HEY....I had a '67 Tempest also. Blue with a 326 in it. Fenton aluminum wheels.

    What bike do you ride? On my RSV, I spliced it into the wires inside the fairing that go to the power outlet.

    OK folks...please don't make this political..I just thought it was an interesting concept and since I'm 54 years old, it WORKS for me. Now I'm just offering it up in the spirit of fun. I didn't take the time to check out the numbers and all that mess. Don't know if it all adds up or not but I doubt it. This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?" I thought this was the BEST idea. I think this guy nailed it! Dear Mr. President, Patriotic retirement: There's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1 million apiece severance with three stipulations: 1. They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed. 2. They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed. 3. They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage- Housing Crisis fixed. All National financial problems fixed!!!

    I thought a long ago about making some of the pods. Before Robert passed away, he was selling a few of them. He was having them vacuum formed and selling them complete with gauges. When I looked into it after he passed away, I learned that his wife had sold the patent to somebody but they apparently never brought them back to market. I don't know what the legal ramifications would be at this point, that was several years ago. The company that I work for does vacuum forming of logos, letters, etc. I'm sure that I could get them made if I just had a mold.

    Thanks Eck....I am still reading every post right now. That will end on Saturday though. Lobo Hurfiano...I went ahead and corrected the spelling for you.

    I already have an altimeter. It's build into the Zumo 550.

    Here's a thread that should help. You don't have to split the fairing so you can ignore the first part....just read through it ... starting about the third picture down. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=494

    There are too screws that you remove from the top of the inner part of the fairing. They are the only two that hold the chrome strip on. There are some tabs on the chrome strip that break very easily so be careful as you work it off. If you break one, don't panic, there is an easy fix posted in the tech library. Once you get the chrome strip off, you will see the screws that hold the windshield on. Very easy to do.

    Actually, I think THIS ONE is true.

    Very nice. This mod gets better all the time. I may have to take a closer look at mine the next time I have things apart.

    Beautiful bike. I know that we have another member with a triked MM also. Looks pretty much the same as yours. Can't remember now who it was dang it. I'm sure you will be very happy with it though. Hope to see it in person one of these days.

    Very nice. There used to be a pod like that on the market. The company was owned by an MTA member and he was a great guy. Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. That is the route I would have taken had it still been available. You did a great job.

    Here's a decent article on K&N Filters. I use them in my bike. Can't really say that I ever noticed any increase in power though. I would still buy them again though because it does save on replacement filter costs. http://www.webbikeworld.com/t2/k-n-air-filter/

    I've never had a problem with the cooler. I just plan for it and load some of the heavier things at the rear of the trailer to compensate.

    Let them know that we are thinking of them Brad. It's a long drive and only made worse when you are under such stress from worry. Make sure they stop and get the rest that they will need.

    I think you did a great job on it but I agree with the others about the tongue weight, I think that is WAY too much.

    I also read on a Zumo forum that the unit will initialize the song list quicker if you create multiple folders and not dump all the songs into one. I created a number of folders and just named them M1, M2, M3, etc. Put maybe 100 or so songs in a folder? Maybe somebody else can elaborate on this. It works fine for me and seems to initialize quicker when I turn the unit on. The 1000 song limit is my only complaint with the unit. It took me a while to decide which songs I wanted to have with me all the time. I think I ended up with 997 songs on the SD card. Of course it would be easy enough to carry an extra SD card with another 1000 songs but I finally decided I was being silly...1000 songs is plenty.
