Randy, I have a set of turn downs with the rubber with them. I can make a template and cut it out on some rubber and sent them to you if you would like. I am trying to sell the tips and want to keep the rubber inserts with them for their sale. I also noticed in the pic that there wasn't a tank cover on the bike. Do you need one of them or did y'all just take it off for the trip, I have 3 in the garage that I could send you one for the shipping...

The V&H do sound really nice from the video, probably better in person. I will say 1 thing, I noticed electrosport charging items. You may or may not want to hear this, but I have dealt with them and I will never do so again. Had multiple issues with a R/R I installed on one of my '99's and the customer service was terrible. I hope your experience is better than mine was, but keep your receipt handy in case there are issues....

Thanks for the pics Tom, good to see you Florida area folks getting together regularly

Have you shared your experience with the Dyna folks?

LMAO! Point taken Marine

I can't say for sure for the early Royal Stars, but I positively know that any starter from the '99 to present RSV will work. I have a starter that came off a '99 RSV on my bike....

Just been sitting Bob, not long after we got it back here to Texas it dropped #6 intake valve. Needless to say I have the motor out and will be taking the head in to have it reworked. The way money has been flying out of this household with both the kids and everything else, it's been VERY tight around here. I'll get it going again, too much invested in it now to just junk it. Just taking a lot of time

Lonna had mentioned to me that they have released Debbie from the hospital with nothing seriously wrong. Great news and I appreciate all of your help with the knee mail

My Deka battery just came in today, and I installed it. One thing I am certain of, the starter makes all the difference in the world. I have a 2nd gen starter on the '86 with the upgrade wires and it spins it around REALLY fast hot or cold. If you can find a 2nd gen starter on ebay it's a direct swap, fit right in.

Just picked up a new to me truck on Tuesday and now it's 38 and raining here in Houston Texas. Just got that one in time so I didn't have to ride the bike in the cold rain

I just purchased this one for my '83 4 days ago [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004D8K58C/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]Amazon.com: Deka Sports Power ETX-18L: Sports & Outdoors@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41tHis56eCL.@@AMEPARAM@@41tHis56eCL[/ame] I have one in my '86 and love it!

I read the title of the thread and said to myself, I was one of those in a younger life. Heated the house when I was a teen with a wood stove, so I got very familiar with axes and splitting mauls FWIW....I would just go with an engine powered hydraulic one, buy it once and be done with it

I know just how you feel, I met my biological father when I was 34 for the 1st time. That was an interesting meeting and I'm glad that I decided to take the gamble and do it. I wish you all the best building a relationship with your mother

Knowing both of you and spending time the same, it's great to hear this Walt! I know how proud you are of him and you have every reason to be ....and Wes, nice job there buddy, great looking car, were proud of you here in Texas!

There are some of you folks that have been here a while that remember Tom Hendry from over in Blanco Texas. He doesn't post here anymore, but Lonna had told me tonight, she read via facebook, that his wife, Debbie, was in a bad car wreck which the car turned over 2 times. I dont know the extent of her injuries, but if you could drop a little prayer to the man upstairs, I'm sure Tom wouldn't mind. If I can get some info to pass on I will....

Sgt. Woods.... Atleast your consistent brother, and may the joy of the Christmas season be with you and your family

I hope the news gets better for y'all, we'll say a prayer for his recovery.

NGK's

If you can, post up a pic or a schematic and that may help out a bit. I might have one, but I need to know exactly what I'm looking for....

Your alright for a misplaced Texan, and I couldn't agree with you more. This place and it's people are the best Christmas gift I could ask for

Sorry as well to hear about it Heather, but what a brave warrior Bella was. You have a lot to be proud of with her

Awesome news Grandpa!

Which one....

Brian, I appreciate the majority of my North Texas brothers and sisters, but you can keep that CRAP up there! I moved just about as far south as I could to get away from it. So enjoy it UP there ok!

As long as they are screwing with you Tweetie, they're leaving some poor innocent guy alone!
