I looked it up, Derek is Butches nephew not son. Yea, I knew of J.J.'s influence on Clapton and Knopfler but had not heard of his passing.

Isn't Derek Trucks Butch Trucks son? I hear a strong Allman Bros. influance there. Thanks for the link.

Another vote for DiamondR hwy pegs. They greatly extended Shirleys range between breaks.

My first 'big' bike was a Honda 305 scrambler. It started a long love affair with scramblers, dual sport and dirt bikes. I now steer clear of any bike that is capable of fire/off roading. I'm not smart enough to resist the wild urges of raising he!! in the dirt. But the Duc looks sweet. Oh the memories.

I don't remember the one your talking about, but I remember this. http://www.vintagevrroom.com/ I never had one though.

Just think of all the money you could have saved the govt. and the forest you could have saved from those fires if you had only left those tools out sooner.

I never trust a jack/lift to support my bike while I work on it. A rack is easy to build out of 2X4s. There are many plans for them on the net. Jack the bike up, slide the rack under the bike then remove jack. Solid as a rock.

Yep! I could finish most job's in a third of the time but for the go back trips or looking for the tool I layed down just a minut ago. And it's all down hill from here.

Sounds like a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

We just rolled in. Great to meet you Ken. I'm glad you liked the loop but as I said, you have only scratched the surface of all the great roads in that area. I'd be happy to show you or anyone else all I can. cowpuc, one has to be real sneaky to get a pic of Shirley. She suffers from a sevier case of dontpointhatdamncamaratmeatosis. Pointing a camara at her can cause YOU great pain.

Gift certificate for a Clearview windshield and/or a Morgan Carbtune. I like the tablet or GPS suggestions as well.

Don't be trying to spoon me! I'll sic Shirley on ya.

It sounds like I'm doomed. Oh well, I guess I'll make the best of it.

I've been accused of alot of things but never of having a fungus on the brain.

I don't know. It just seems to make it worse.

I acually PAY to hang out with all you degeneriates and wierdos. I've been here 5 years now and just re-up'd for another. I'm afraid to know what that says about me.

Darn nice guitars too.

Thanks Ken, that pulled it down real nice.

Looks like a real trouble maker to me.

Thanks Ken. I assume clockwise pulls it down?

I found the bolt Ken is refering to. I'll try that when I get home. If not I hope your just refering to the outer fairing Bob. Or are you?

At this time I own 1 Yamaha and 1 Honda. Been going back and forth between the two since the begining. Also had a Suzuki a Norton and a few Maico's along the way.

I pulled the trike out of the garage at 04:30 this morning to ride to work. As I'm leaving the neiborhood I realize the only lights hiting the road are my passing lights. The headlight is illuminating the roof tops. No problem I think, I'll just adjust them down with the knob under the fairing. Wrong! Before the light gets anywhere near the road it bottoms out and starts pulling it to the left. No doubt this is caused by rakeing the front end. I'm sure I'm not the first to run into this. What did you do to fix it?

Hmmm, is there a compartment I haven't found it could be hid in? Doesn't really matter anyway. I want one I can use with my torque wrench. Thanks for the info guys!

Thanks Larry. The allen socket is the way I'm wanting to go.
