    Thanks for the clarification, I saw his '84 in '06 at the Eureka Springs rally when we had to go pick E-Fishin-C and our bike up. I noticed the squared off tire and didn't know it was from a hack

    Thanks Buddy.. was going to ask you if you could be overflow....but I've been a bit busy

    I know that Fred Vogt has a car tire on the front of his '84 Venture trike. Perhaps you could look himup and chat a bit with him?

    It's looking to be one hell of a party! everyone is welcome, we'll make space for any and all that want to make the journey

    I dont disagree with you Terry, I would have just mentioned to him to bring to one of the members houses and he'd get it done for near free, but it sounded like he was set on having a dealer do it. Perhaps he'll make a MD in his area and then the fun really begins

    $100 is a screaming deal for them to take off both front and rear wheels dismount and mount/balance new tires and put it all back together. I say this because it's about a 1 1/2 to 2 hour deal for me to do it if you think about it. Saddlebags come off, atleast the right side muffler comes off to remove the shaft and all back together again. He is being charged shop labor which is probably about $70 and the shop is going to charge him what the book says it's worth. He's also making a bit over due to not getting the tire sale. As long as it's done right and all the greasing is done, it's still not a terrible price.

    As long as he will be putting back together correctly and greasing the splines (have him grease the hub fingers too) thats not a bad price. He hitting you a bit harder as you didn't get the tires from him I'm assuming, so he's making a bit more on the labor.

    Hey Yammer...

    Yeah Dan Why....Why!

    Is he going to remove both the wheels off the bike, reinstall them and balance them?

    Good luck with it Deb, hope you can get it for a song

    I'm with you, cheapened it right up in my opinion.

    If I'm not mistaken Mark, the posts are threaded instead of a connecting nut and bolt, the bolt screws right into the post which is pretty beefy and I think has 2 threaded points on each terminal.

    Brad (nice name) You have hit upon the 2 questions I would quickly ask, full of lube and tire pressure. My next question is what kind of tires are on the bike? Some are just known for being loud. There were some issues with early G2's where the rearends had issues, I haven't heard anything with the later models. If it was me I would take the rearend out and make sure the splines are greased properly (I have seen some make it out of the factory with no grease) and insure the fingers in the hub are properly greased. I know it's a new bike, but this is why were here, I have seen "New" bikes need lots of work....I know others will chime in also.

    Yeah...it is, especially if it's got only 17K onit for miles. Looks can be decieving, lots of folks look at the '89 I sold Cliff and tell me how nice it looks. Let me tell you that it didn't look anywhere near that good when I got it. Lots of elbow grease has been put into it, I could make that MM shine like a new penny. It's not a terrible price and he is accepting offer on it. If that could be got for about the $4K mark, that would be a very good deal I think.

    No sweat...thats why were here

    Dont laugh, I dont want to keep putting miles on Cliff's '89 that I have here. I am most likely going to be riding the Shovelhead up to Potato creek. I will probably fly Lonna up there as she wont be very comfortable on the H/D. We can ride around while were there and I'll fly her home. I have to get busy with it and make her so she's dependable enough to make the 2500 mile round trip. Besides....we had an Ultra at the 1st meet 5 years ago that belonged to PhoneDoc's inlaws, might as well be me that make sure another H/D is there for this one

    I'm here for you Brudder! I have a Deka battery in my '92 Chevy Wagon, probably about 4 or 5 years old right now. That battery doesn't hesitate a second to spin right over, and spin fast. Like mentioned thats what I'll be putting in my bikes from now on
  20. Squidley
    Welcome to the H/D side brother! Beautiful machine and I know we have talked about this before. Just enjoy the hell out of it and get down here to Texas so I can see it...or take it to the International in Potato Creek

    This place is pretty cool

    I got your back Chief! I ain't skeered of Mini or Diane

    Fred, What your describing to me sounds just like the oil is too full. If you put much over half full in the sight glass it can go right into the airbox. What does your sight glass say?
  24. Squidley
    Mark, I know many here will not like what I am about to say, but Interstate batteries are junk! I have used them in the past and had 2 of them puke out within a couple of years. The Deka batteries have been around a long time and I have heard very good things about them. I will be buying 2 of them 1 for the Shovelhead and 1 for the '99. I would replace the battery and see what happens, doesn't sound like yours in worth a crap

    Don & Patti, Your son if a fine man and I am glad that I was fortunate enough to meet him on the St. Judes ride 2 years ago. He is a professional and the best at what he does, his training will keep him safe and we will keep him, and all the other warriors that protect us, in our thoughts...all the best to all 3 of you
