    Holy Hell! That is awesome news Shaun! I can relate as I didn't meet my biological father until I was 34 years old. Enjoy the time with Pop!

    Very good insight Steve, I too marvel at how well the Japanese are handling this monumental catastrophy. Like mentioned it's not over yet, and coming from working in the power generation industry I cringe at what those mechanics and operators are going through with a more than likely core meltdown. I have nothing but respect for all the people affected by the quake and sunami, I hope that we here in this country learn something from the Japanese....God Bless all of them.

    Gunboat just had issues with the new '99 trike he bought as #3 Cylinder wasn't firing. Turned out to be the ignitor box was bad on that cylinder, might want to check into that. Also too did you check the caps to make sure there was no corrosion in them? It's possible that 2 coils went out, but that is kinda unlikely. You can do a resistance test on the coils to verify they are good.

    Couple of major crossing points are in Michigan. The Ambassador bridge in Detroit to Windsor, or the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron about 70 miles further north which crosses into Sombra. There are a couple of ferries that cross the St. Clair River also 1 in Algonac, and 1 in Marine City. There is also the crossing in New York in Buffalo, some of the NY crew will surely chime in about that. If a ride is what your looking for you could go around the great lakes and come back south through the Chicago area. There is a lot of beautiful country in Ontario and some of those troublemakers will chime in too.

    You have roughly a gallon of gas left when it hits reserve and the "F" starts counting up, I'd be looking for a gas station in less than 25 miles.

    Tom, That is excellent new my friend, I know it will be difficult, but you can do it. Keep the gym thing going, I have been going for almost 2 months now. Up at 3am to do my workout before I have to be at work at 6am. I was ready for the gym, and have dedicated myself to getting in better shape. We want you around for a long time bud....keep it up

    Those pics just looked like LOTS of troublemakers, glad they got out and about.

    Chris, This is RTV, it's a silicone gasket sealer http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=219327385&listingid=126169059 and you dont necessarily need to replace the crush washer, just make sure you install it back in the spot it was taken off from. I have reused the ones on all my bikes and haven't had to replace one as of yet.

    Chris, Yes you do have to drain the oil to start. It also would be a good idea to take off the floorboard for better access and drop the front exhaust pipe down to get at the lower case bolts. You have to remove the middle gear cover, the bottom center retaining bolt is the one with the crush washer on it, that needs to go back in that spot. Make sure you mark the positions where the bolts came out of, there are different lengths. When you pull the stator cover off keep in mind the position that the starter gears are in, they can go in backwards. I want to mention this also, this isn't a slam to Buckeye, but I had 2 stators start to leak where the 3 wires come through the sealing block. The easy fix for that is to apply some RTV on both the inside of the block where the wires go through and the outside. This will help prevent future seepage. Take your time and dont be in a hurry, make sure that you can eat off both surfaces where the gasket will go. Apply some RTV around the wire block and where the gasket will cover it. This will help insure that you wont get leaks there. If you have any issues my # is in my profile.

    My Electra Glide is like that, as the tire sizes are the same. 1 direction for back and the other for the front.
