    Blair, Some of the batteries that you can use to replace the one in your bike will have the hole for the sensor. Many of them will not as they are sealed types. There is a mod should you get one of the batteries that doesn't have the hole so it will not show up on your computer screen. No worries either way, the biggest thing is to get the correct battery for your application. Here is the write up in the tech library [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=489]http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=489[/ame]

You be careful tomorrow on the sisters and we'll help you spend your millions on accessories for that bike. let me know if you'd like to join up on the site, we'd love to have you

    I know there are a few folks that want to hear a bit more of the weekend trip of our Texas brothers and sisters, I'll try to fill in some blanks. Let me 1st say Thank you again to all that put this together, as it really was a mini rally. GuthDaddy17 (Larry and his wife Keeley, son Ryan and Anna) Larry procured the lodging for us at the Ramada and it was a great choice. Tom (You know Tom from Blanco) who's wild idea it was to head over to Big Bend. Herb (Master Guns) who is a behind the scenes guy and hates being put in the limelight, for making some killer Marguaritas on Saturday night and is a great guy to be around. Then there were all the nut cases that showed up Dave (Dave 77459) James (Jburrell) Don (Gunboat) Perry and Molly (pktexas) Buddy and Jude (BuddyRich) and then there were a few "New Members" that made the trip with us. Let me tell you about a woman, actually 2 of them Lillian (Tom's Mother) and Kerry (Tom's Sister) for whom this trip was greatly enhanced by them being there. Kerry is a new rider and has recently bought herself a nice Suzuki C50 Boulevard. She only had 600 miles on this bike prior to the trip, but I'll tell you what, she's got the "Stuff" to be serious biker chick material. We have named her hardcore as she never complained about the riding (she put on probably 1200 miles on this trip) and she has grown as a rider in just 4 days with us. Tom is very proud of her as we all were, she did a fantastic job and I hope she will ride with this group more. Tom's Mother (Lillian) is 81 years old and let me tell you something, she is sharp as a tack for her age. Gunboat Chauffered Miss Lillian around this trip in HER '07 Dodge 3500 Dually diesel truck, you gotta love a gal that has a truck like that! She was an absolute pleasure to be around and that lady had us laughing so hard through out the weekend that my guts still hurt! She is one of the coolest women I know and she added so, so much to the experience this weekend it should have been illegal. I look forward to having her with us on another outing that I'll leave the bike behind and be the chauffer. We also had the opportunity to ride with one of Tom's walmart driving friends that owns a newer goldwing (nice bike too) Billy and Caroline. I'll tell Y'all something to those that didn't get the chance to ride back east with the group on Sunday....you missed an excellent ride and the conversations and ribbing that went on the CB's between Tom, Billy and myself had us damn near peeing ourselves. Y'all make sure and ask Tom what happens at 117 mph Of course there was the typical mayhem that always is associated with any of VR.org getting together. What a great time we had with everyone and this trip really helped Lonna and I with being homesick and missing all out brothers and sisters up north and obviously our families. It was great to get away from Houston (love the members here, the city...not so much) and for the 1st time in probably about 3 or 4 months I was able to put on some serious miles on a scoot and help to start clearing my head. I can't thank enough of the folks that helped make this happen for Lonna and myself as we were not going to go due to me not working. They finally needled me enough that I caved in and threw caution into the wind and we went...I am so glad we did. Tom, Can't thank you enough my friend, I look forward to many more rides with you. Gunboat...well you know how we feel and to all the others, thanks for one of the best times and best get togethers that I can remember. I'll get some more of the pics edited and posted up here tomorrow at some point. BTW if any of the members are on the fence about coming to a M&E or a rally, your really shortchanging yourselves out of some of the best time you will EVER have in your life....SHOW UP!

    You'll just have to wait a while Oh and BTW, you can sing all you want, we'll just turn the volume on the computer down

    Well there is a story about Tom being too lazy to run away from home with his sister.....

    Carbon One's idea works great, I have sat on his bike and they really solidify the crash bars.

    He's busting my chops on the '79 FLH that I was given Harold

    Always good to hear stories from Dan..... "Can you hear them screaming Clarice?"
  13. Squidley
    How about you just replace it with a 35 watt H3 bulb made by Hella, I still have originals in my driving lights with a couple of thousand miles on them
  14. Squidley
    We'll get some pics on here in the next day or so. For those that were on the fence about coming, you missed one of the best times! We had a blast and I really didn't want this weekend to end. We laughed so hard at some of the schenanigans (especially coming home over the CB's) that my guts still hurt. A HUGE thank you to all that made this possible, Herb for making a killer Marguarita, Larry for the accomodations and all that attended for the stories and laughs. This is one weekend I will not soon forget, Thanks all again and we'll post more tomorrow once were back in Houston

    You Nutjob!

    It has been a great time, about 200 miles today, now it's time for the marathon run back to Houston tomorrow
  17. Squidley
    Looks pretty good there Barend, you'll get the bugs worked out of it.
  18. Squidley
    Looking good Buddy

    We had a great day too, we were 100 yards away from Mexico and rode about 200 miles today...life is good. Love the pics!

    Man you are all about busting my chops here lately aren't you Kreg. It's tough to have friends like y'all, I hope my enemies show me more mercy
  21. Squidley
    Yeah...but you know I have to bust your chops every once in a while
  22. Squidley
    I saw that too and if I had the extra cash I would buy it for my '89...I doubt you will have it much longer now
  23. Squidley
    Lets put it like this, the redline on a 1st gen, with the same basic engine, is 8K. The Dyna will take the RPM's up to 7500 if I'm not mistaken and you also can advance the timing a bit with it.
  24. Squidley
    You know what we say here Barend...iffin there ain't pics...it didn't happen
  25. Squidley
    Thanks for thinking of us My Friend, and the silent member with the thought.
