    So your just getting the gears for $300 with old gear exchange Don? I have an additional rear pig that I purchased for the swap I have planned for mine. Looks like I'll have to check this site out and see about getting some shipped here
  2. Squidley
    I had seen that one, pretty ingenious idea, I still like mine a bit more solid and will stick to the ones that I make

    The drawing that Eck put up will not fit a 1st gen, it's just for the G2's. There are other cheap methods of making brackets for the R/K mufflers. I know I saw another post not too long ago with a different clamp system.

    Good to hear it! Progressives are the best cheap handling upgrade that a 1st genner can do. Glad that the site helped you out, now get on and ride!!!
  5. Squidley
    Buy a progressive shock and forget about that Class system

    Ok...I see how you are Craig and did yours turn out PERFECT????....Yes they did
  7. Squidley
    Absolutely, Progressives are the best and easiest fix to tighten up the handling of the 1st gens

    Rick, I will be bringing my Electrical box and a drill, we can put it on there if you want to do that. I'd really like to see how one of these looks as I have been looking into exactly this for the '99
  9. Squidley
    Me thinks I'll be ordering one of these when we get back from Colorado, hope it's on your bike Rick when we get there

    We were riding with 99Sliver (Gary Frase) and a dog did the same thing to him. It went for his fork tube and he nailed it, threw it about 15 feet through the air. He didn't have much time to react, and didn't try to avoid it. Took out his lower left cowling and some other plastic pieces. Amazingly the dog was still alive after being hit at 45 mph, I agree...sometimes they just aren't too bright

    Jim, This is what I use for all the brake fluid needs on all my bikes. Todd....you must have been watching the "The Quick and The Dead"

    Very Nice Zag! From a fabricator standpoint that is truly a work of art. I love to see original ideas and your is definitely original. How does it handle being raked out like it is? Hope to meet up with you soon and see that machine, very nice job
  13. Squidley
    Yeah, I can attest to that

    Jim, I agree with Muffin, my '99 did the sme thing last year on the way to Vogel and I swapped out the fluid down there and it solved the problem

    Just where Redneck mentioned

    It wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the pads, less than $100 and you have the peace of mind of having them on.

    It's pretty fairly invovled, unless a previous owner put in grease fitiings on it, you'll have to pull a lot of it apart. I know it's not the answer you wanted to hear, but unfortunately that it

    Cool...can't wait to hear them in FC

    Bill, When you go into a specific area you'll see a tab up at the top of the page that says new thread. Click it and it will bring up a screen where you can start a new thread and ask whatever questions you have. There are many different areas that you can post questions. I see you have a 1st gen so some of your technical questions will be strated in the 1st gen section. it will take a bit of getting used to but once you get it, it will be like second nature BTW Welcome to the club!
  20. Squidley
    Aren't they fun!!! That is one of the worst jobs to do on a 1st gen...I have done 3 of them to date
  21. Squidley
    I know JT...I just have to yank a few chains every once in a while My '99 will probably need some TLC in 2019 also
  22. Squidley
    I really want to rag on that 1st gen of yours....but I'm WAY above such immature behavior
  23. Squidley
    Carlos, I understand your frustration, but there is a point where one has to outweigh the cons and possibly just look for a Royale with all the bells and whistles It's not bad if your just wanting to tinker, buy trying to upgrade a bike that wasn't designed with all the stuff can make you pull your hair out I'm sure you'll get it going and come to the point you wanted to....go put some wind in your hair and it will all work out
  24. Squidley
    They are the same...your good to go

    I know there have been a lot of folks following this thread since it started. Unfortunately I have some not so good news to add here, take it for what it's worth. Just recently when I got the charging system back I believe I mentioned that my stator wasn't assembled correctly when it was shipped back. I fixed that problem and installed it. Then the system wouldn't charge, to which I found my regulator was bad. Electrosport shipped me out one of theirs next day air, that was nice. Wednesday before last as I was coming home from work my '99 died for no apparent reason. It turned out after some sleuthing that my charging system wasn't working and I bought a new battery thinking this was the problem...it wasn't. The regulator that I recieved from Electrosport had died, it's only about 90 days old and in the process my wires that connect to the unit started to melt. Now I'm no electrical genius, I don't claim to know anything electrical wise besides some simple obvious things. Before I started this deal with Electrosport I had ZERO problems with the bikes charging system. Now I am having nothing but fits. I further find out talking with one of our members here that has a Vstar that on their Delphi forum Electrosport bally hooed about upgraded charging systems on the V*'s. They had nothing but trouble with the parts that they recieved and Electrosport dropped off of their forum. I don't want this to be misconstrewed, this might not be Elecrosports fault, but they are VERY hard to get ahold of and it seems as if all signs are pushing towards a possible inferior product with not much support. I have to say that I personally wont be using any of their products anymore. The upgraded stator that they are supposedly making for me will not go into my bike. I dont have a good feeling for the product or the lack of response that I have not been recieving. You all will have to decide for yourselves, and by no means do I expect anyone to take my advise. I just wanted to give you a heads up on what has happened to me with all of this and you all can decide for yourselves...Just figured you might like to know Here are some pics of what happened with my bike
