  1. Hey-a boo boo I think I smell a Pick-a-nick basket.
  2. It is amazing how fast the stone throwing can start.

It does not even have a booster or ground wire. You just peal the adhesive strip backing off, stick it on and plug it into the antenna wire and you are ready to go.
  4. Just wanted to tell everyone what happened to me. That is usually a bad thing but not in this case. I purchased a new drivers backrest and a light bar from Diamond and they sent it like pronto quick it is great and the light bar it excellent. Then out of the blue I got an email from Diamond and they said that the shipping charge was not as much as they had orginally charged and they where going to credit my card with the difference between the two a little over 18 bucks. Now that is a class operation most businesses would have just let it ride and I would have never known the difference. Thanks again to Diamond R.
  5. It will be deliverd on Tuesday.
  6. But lots of cuts and scrapes and bruises I will live to ride again just don't know when.
  7. Since I have totaled my bike I may have a solo cap that I don't need. I had the tour pack on when I crashed.
  8. I went back to the tour pack and it took about 30 minute that danged antenna is a pain in the buttocks. I spent at least 15 minute taking it apart and rerouting the wire and fastening it to the rack. I took me a little longer on the rest of the job because I had taken all of the rest of the wires out from on top of the fender and hidden them under the seat while I was working on building the solo cover so I had to redo them. Well I won't get to work on it for a while we are heading to Fredricksburg TX. this Thursday afternoon if the hurricane in the gulf doesn't change our mind. They are saying that it will be in Oklahoma by Thursday so we are hoping we can slip in behind it and have a little ride while it is still cool.

  10. Once you have a cover made for the wires. The cover bolts on just like the back seat. The one thing that take up the most time is moving the radio antenna. I am getting a hidden antenna to go in the front faring so I won't have to deal with it. I don't ever use the CB so that antenna is going away. I am going to be making me another cover with a little different shape and some lights in the back of it in the next few weeks if you would like to buy the one I am using now let me know. I am thinking maybe $100.00. If you would like to see how the next one comes out I will post the pictures here. If you have an idea for how you would like one shaped I can make you one.
  11. I will be putting the tour pack back on tonight getting ready to ride with the wife on the 4th of July weekend. Happy 4th to all.
  12. :big-grin-emoticon:http://www.venturers.org/Tech_Library/index.php?action=article&cat_id=002004&id=330 for Honda line vent or this one http://www.venturers.org/Tech_Library/index.php?action=article&cat_id=002004&id=288 for round
  13. I think it came out pretty good. I am trying to figure out how to post the pic. I think they are attached if not I will put them in my gallary. It only takes about 15 minutes to take it down once you have the cover for the back made. I made mine out of fiberglass and covered with the same material as the seat. It could be painted to match the bike but it would have to be much smoother ie more time to build. All of the wires involved have plugs and will fit under the cover I made. There are only about 10 bolts or so involved and all are accessable without taking off the side bags. I think that it is a very good option for soloing the bike. I makes the bike feel entirely different and look different it is a nice change. When I get my hidden antenna for the radio it will be an even faster change out. I made a temp bracket for it out of a piece of stainless angle that works pretty good. The cover that is shown in the picture is can not hold the weight of a rider because it is to thin but the next one that I build will. With this one I was just trying to work out the bugs. My next cover will have the foam like they put under the soft tops on cars on it before the seat material. And I am thinking of putting lights or a light in the back of it also. http://www.venturers.org/Forum/images/smilies/action-smiley-083.gif The cool thing about this mod is that you don't have to modifiy the bike so you can go back to original very quickly. The only thing that you have to do to the bike is remove part of the little foam rubber pads that are on the fender to cushion the wires on the bike I just removed the entire pad and I plan on repositioning it when I go back to touring.. My plan is to video taking it down to Solo and then going back to Touring. I should have that done in about a few weeks. One thing I am waiting for it my hidden radio antenna that I have ordered from Ebay. Since I never use the CB my plan is to remove that antenna. As soon as my hidden antenna comes in and I get it installed I will be making the videos and I will post them here and probably on Utube.
