    No engine noise with my Mic Mutes either. I did have engine noise a few years ago but that was before the Mic Mutes install. I don't think it will cause engine noise but if you have it already, you will continue to do so. A slight moving/rerouting of my cables under the left side of the gas tank got rid of it back when I had it.

    The funeral was yesterday and went just fine. We kept it very small, family only and everybody ended up back at our house when it was over. I think it was a day that would have pleased her. Internet is back up for now. We are supposed to get about 12" of snow starting later this afternoon. Unless it's ice again, hopefully my service will stay on. Ordered the Verizon DSL but the self-install kit will not be here until Monday.

    Just a note here. If the Oberlin Inn runs out of rooms. I have never been inside the Sunset but from the outside, it is pretty rough. Don't think I would recommend it. Plenty of room to camp at my place for those so inclined. If the Oberlin is full, several members have stayed at the Days Inn in Amherst. Only about 17 miles up the road.

    VR Caps

    Freebird replied to Double D's topic in Watering Hole

    Soon. Our very own Gray Ghost is taking them over. I am sending him the artwork and he has the caps ordered. I'll post more soon.

    I use the standard "Battery Tender" on my Odyssey battery. I keep it plugged in all the time when the bike is in the garage. Been using it now on this battery for about 4 years. No problems at all.

    I'm back in town again. I did find out today that DSL is now available to my house and it is ordered. It will take about 4 or 5 days before the equipment arrives though. I will install it and try it for a while. I'll keep both services until I see if the DSL is reliable. My service is still down. They said it's just a matter of how fast the ice melts.

    I don't know how often I'll be able to check in today. We got slammed with an ice storm and it took my internet out. I have a wireless service at home and apparently the transmitter on top of the tower somewhere is encased in ice and has my service shut down. They couldn't tell me how long. They can't get up the towner to clear the ice. So...I'm sitting in the car now in town where I could get a WIFI signal to check my messages. I'll check in when I can but if you have a problem, please understand that I may not reply as quick as I usually do. My mother in law's funeral is tomorrow so I'll be pretty much tied up tomorrow also. Step father's funeral was yesterday in Texas. I didn't make it but my brother has reported that all went as well as can be expected. Thanks to all of you for the condolences.

    I've got the Diamond R passenger pegs on mine. I did change out the actual pegs with some KuryAkyn's that I had. They work pretty good.

    Really sorry to hear this news. I sure wish that they would find a cure for that horrid disease. We lost my sister in law and now my mother in law to it over the past couple of years and this weekend. Now we found out yesterday that my wife's aunt only has a day or two to live due to cancer also. Way too much of it in this world. If anybody has a good picture of Greg, please email it to me at dnelson@axcesswave.com so that I can use it in on our memorials page.

    It may go high when you pump it but should drop back off as you retract the plunger for the next stroke. You want to read it while you are not pumping.

    Eck, Your procedure on this is posted in the Tech Library. Very well done I might add.
  12. Freebird
    I don't think that's your problem. I'm running a 1.86 GHz processor on the notebook with only 1 GB of RAM and they all open and play fine for me. Unless you are running a LOT of stuff in the background, memory shouldn't be the issue. OH...and I'm running Windows XP and Firefox but IE works fine also.

    I honestly don't know how it COULD have happened unless you just created a new profile.

    I've merged the new name you created with your old one. If you do not remember the password for fixit, email me and let me know what it should be and I'll re-set it for you.

    stock seat?

    Freebird replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    You'll get a lot of different opinions on this one. Pads are much like seats, what works for one person doesn't always work for another. Some here really like the AirHawk cushion. It really didn't work for me at all. I had a seat with one installed in it and also tried one on top of a stock seat and neither helped much. I also tried a gel pad from AirRider. It was no better. I've just never found a pad that worked for me. Others have had good luck though. I also tried several seats. Stock, stock modified, stock with various pads, pillow top seat off later RSV, TravelCade Road Sofa.....none of them satisfied me. I finally ended up with a Corbin seat and it's the best I've found for me. I've done a number of 600+ mile days and some closer to 800 miles with it. That doesn't mean it would work for you though. Some folks just HATE the Corbin seats. Same is true of pads and other seats. There...that should confuse you enough for now.

    OHhhhh....that reminds me of another one.... "Yellow Ducky"..... terrible song. Don't remember who sang it either.
  20. Freebird
    Nothing special at all. Just put gas in it and have a ball. After you get it and put a few miles on it, we will start giving you suggestions on how to spend a LOT more money on it. Backrest, highway pegs, etc. Don't worry, we like helping new owners spend their money...that's what we are here for.

    Looks fast just sitting there. I like it.

    #1 Song ...

    Freebird replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    hmmmm...."Sincerely" by The McGuire Sisters. Had never even heard it, had to go listen.

    Is it also possible that he has installed the leveling links on the rear? They raise it about an inch also.

    You folks have named a LOT of them that I would agree with but for me, Tiny Tim would certainly be at the top of my all time worse list. I think that is one that most everybody would agree with. I have to admit though that I actually do like American Pie and also didn't think that Season's in the Sun was so bad.

    I need to pay more attention to what bikes we are talking about. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what you meant. Then I just realized that we are talking first gen. Second gen has a plastic reservoir with markings.
