Chrome bolt button caps are hiding those now.

Get off the computer and get back to work on John's aux fuel tank ! You don't have time for any jaw jacking

Run a Michelin CommanderII rear tire mounted in reverse rotation up front, made a good difference on our's for cornering. Much less feeling of the tire sliding to the outside in high speed turns, has good wet traction too. 41 psi is what I run in the front tire.

Here are a couple pictures, the first two is of the Hannigan trees and the last two is the stock Yamaha trees. The Flanders bars give you a little wider grip and a few inches of pulback. I have a picture of them on my wifes RSV Hannigan, as soon as I find the pic I'll post it. In the last pic you can see our bikes side by side, the trike has the rake kit and Flanders, the 2 wheeler is stock trees and bars with Barons risers.

At least your Ice Cream won't melt !

Welcome to the site. Get ahold of Hannigan and get their easy-steer trees, they are a 6* rake and make handling much easier. You may also want to consider upgrading the handlebars to a set of Flanders bars. When I installed the Flanders bars it was like adding power steering.

Randy, we're sorry for your loss, Jeannie and I send our condolences to you and the whole family. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2

Have you done any testing yet? Looks nice

need some tapes?

The fire wall with the V.I.N. intact is what's needed. They can graft a new front & rear end onto it and still claim it to be what it started life as. There are thousands upon thousands of old high $$$$$$$$$ muscle cars that were only a firewall when found in the scrap yards. It's the VIN that makes a car what it is.

That wheel looks great! I'd be interested. Is the wheel sealed in any way after polishing ?

WHO you callin' a Cracker ? Troll

Sweet looking ride. Let us know what you think.

Hurry up and post em !

Our prayers for a successful recovery.

SO I suppose you're looking for your prize now eh ?

If the acorn nut was loose, you better check the neck bearing torque too, With the top nut loose it may have let the torque adjuster nut and lock nut loosen.

Here ya go, just what you're looking for. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/motorcycle/Tire%20Chains http://www.mv-motorrad.de/lshop,showdetail,2004g,e,,,10107,,,.htm

Starting up a new jewelry store down there? We're going to miss our summertime rides with you & Lori ! Wish we were going too, but it's going to have to wait 2 more years. My son moved to North Carolina back in November and were still trying to figure the cheapest way to get his stuff down there.

Sometime in July eh ?

I will be interested to hear your opinion of this setup once you get it on the road. I have been considering this mod for Jeannie's trike too.

Why were you in my garage looking at my GS ! Why didn't you invite me out too

My heart aches for you Randy, I went through the same thing when my mom passed in 2009. Support pops as best you can. Prayers for your whole family. If you need, we're here to help.

I got a good laugh today. I get to work and the principal sez to me, "Spring sports starts in 10 days and I want the soccer and lacrosse fields ready to go"! :rotfl: There's currently close to 2 feet of snow on the field and frost darn near 60" deep. Once the snow melts (which I don't see happening any time soon) it'll take atleast 2 weeks of warm weather before it's not a soft mushy mess. I looked at him and said good luck with that ! We'll see if I still have a job tomorrow

Because nobody is moderating the mods, that's Why !
