  1. Thankful for my family here! Merry Christmas to y'all!
  2. I love this site! Yall are great!
  3. That's the same problem that I have!
  4. CB and Radio. All in one right? Good thinking on that homemade grommet idea! I think I might have to do that
  5. Myself being a millennial-ish. Born in 1993 I look around at a lot of new motorcycles and there are truly some terrific deals on the market. I think the FZ-09 is a great price at what 8,000 brand new? There are midrange bikes that are considered more street and less rocket where you sit up a little straighter so its more casual. I have a 919 Hornet and absolutely love the bike because I can sit up pretty straight on it and ride with my head high. The biggest problem is, is that even with great deals on new bikes most people are going to want a cruiser, and for what you get with a cruiser I believe they're over priced. The 2018 YZF-R3 looks like a hell of a bike and its only 4,999 while the cheapest cruiser is the lousy V-Star 250 at 4,400. Nobody my age could afford to start on a 5,000 dollar motorcycle that they're probably going to outgrow after a season. It makes much more sense to buy used, and most friends I've tried to convert give up after awhile
  6. Anyone have any of these to get rid of? Vanity Mirror for 88 Right side panel Vent Antanna for a Venture Royale The grommet for the faux tank cover
  7. Wow! Impressive!! It even looks like the front fork springs are good!
  8. Well guys, I too the trunk rack off and realized I was definitely overthinking the setup. I was expecting a grommet that went through the width of the plastic and under the washer on the otherside, but its literally just a little piece of rubber! Thanks for the good advice guys! I was kind of confused by your answers but now I get it!
  9. Hey guys! Gonna be tearing the rack off my trunk for a little plastic repair and i was wonderin if anyone knows where to get replacement rubber for it? The old stuff's pretty gnarled up, but so was the trunk lol. Any input would be appreciated!:detective:j
  10. I really like the front wheel setup on your 99 as well

    Ohh Mannnn
  12. Weren't the rubber tubes that hold the carbs on the motor smaller in diameter? So you'd put ones on from a 99 or newer, probably modify that airbox, and maybe jet the carbs? Just my guess
  13. Hate the idea of the lower 1st though! If my tranny ever craps out I'll probably do the 2nd gen swap, but I remember hitting the rev limiter a couple times on my 99
  14. Sorry to hear that brother. Its tough when any member of the family passes. Regardless of species. Keep your head up friend!
  15. Might as well have the Warden install some online poker while she's at it
  16. Thank Ya Cimmer! I'm going to order the kit from Skydoc with the friction discs. I figure its 30 years old, I might as well
  17. Good call! I'm sure I can return it if it wont work
  18. https://www.salvagebikesauction.com/vehicle_detail/Salvage-2012-Harley-Davidson-FLSTC-for-Sale/lot-45186637/Denver-Colorado Jeeze only starting at 500 bucks?? Could have less than 1500 in that one by the time shes good to go!!
  19. Its definitely hard to argue with @cowpuc on these bikes. He has more miles on them than an average person gets in a life time! Like I said, No big deal if I have to, but if I can find it, great!
  20. In human words its the cruise control cable.. If I absolutely cant find one I'll just lube this one up and itll be fine, but I snapped a throttle cable so I figure why not replace everything while I'm in there!
  21. See I thought it was the Starter Cable too. But I actually think that cable goes to the choke. I think that's the part to the choke on the second picture as well
  22. Oh wow! Really love the green!
  23. Oh wow! Really love the green!
