What Hotel in Rockford ? maybe we'll book there too. What time would that put you in Detroit area ? Thank You Randy Too bad you couldn't make Rockford, Il on Saturday. We could make a party of it.

No one has addressed the soot problem so I'll give you my If this sooty oil film only appears when the plug is firing that cylinder then I suspect you may have a blown head gasket or cylinder base gasket. Are you able to tell where the soot is coming from? High up or down near the cylinder base? Do you detect any noise from the exhaust header or is it loose? I ask because if your oil ring is shot on that cylinder then a loose head pipe will spray a bit of oil under that senario.

Going to Galena ? Larry & Joyce, Myself and Jeannie are leaving on the 27th , with check-in at Chestnut on the 28th. Were gonna stop somewhere around 1/2 way then arrive sometime Mid day on Sunday.

How does the cb interface with the N-Com ?

Sorry to say, my friend, but you must be looking in a mirror ! Not at a 2nd Gen.

We love our southern neighbors

How do the Kury end weights compare to the stock weights, weight-wise ?

I just put iso grips with the rocker on the RSV, there is no way to use the stock bar end weights, the iso grips are longer and ony allow for 3-4 threads of the weight into the bars. You're stuck using the iso weights. sorry I don't have any numbers for you.

I'm going to be purchasing a new headset for my shorty half helmet. I want a wired set, no bluetooth unless it works with the CB. Let's see what the collective wisdom of the nut house has to say on the subject. If I missed any wired headset makers please let me know. If you use a particular headset, it would help to know the model number of it.

you can only wrap them if the baffles are removable. Otherwise you'll have to buy other pipes.

I pray you're right

There are 2 nuts behind the headlamp that have to come off. I lowed mine 1" and the upper fork covers hit the fender mount lugs and dented them, I'd suggest only going 3/4" In this picture you can see the studs above the fork air valve, that's the nuts you need to remove. the studs go thru the collar you see directly in front of the stud.

I could think of no one better to get the trailer when you are done with it.

Maybe we should enact a law like Canada has, If there's an American that can do the job, then No Canadians can come here and take the work. Since there's a lot of unemployed actors we should deport them all.

Would y'all stop that ! You're gonna give him a big head

In Michigan there is no verbiage in the CPL law that specifically say's "Motorcycle" BUT there was a ruling by the attorney general, that a motorcycle or car makes no difference, as the permit to carry is issued to the holder and where ever it's legal to carry you are not in violation of the carry laws. I'm trying to find the ruling, I'll post it when I find it. Q: I am a current CPL holder. I bought a new motorcycle and wondered if it's legal to carry my revolver concealed on me while riding the bike. I also wondered if I can store or conceal the revolver in a locked compartment on the bike. A: So long as you have a valid, Michigan CPL (Concealed Pistol License), you may carry concealed pistols anywhere in the State of Michigan except for those places listed on the "Pistol Free Areas" list in the statute, or private property where the party in control prohibits weapons in general or asks you specifically not to carry there. Note that the intent of the law is that you should lock your gun in your vehicle when you find yourself about to enter a "Pistol Free Area." (NOTE: I use the quotation marks to indicate that the statute uses the term "Pistol Free Area," but only law-abiding citizens are deterred by the rule.) The question of storage is a question of reasonableness. If you have a compartment on your motorcycle that is secure, you should be fine storing your pistol there. However, if the gun falls into the wrong hands, you could potentially face criminal and civil liability. So, be sure that your method and location of storage pass the "sniff test".

This is from ISP's web site. Are out-of-state Concealed Carry permit holders granted reciprocity in Illinois? No. Out-of-state residents who want to carry a concealed firearm on his/herr person must obtain an Illinois Concealed Carry License to lawfully carry a concealed firearm in Illinois. In order for out-of-state residents to be eligible for an Illinois license, their state’s concealed carry license laws must be substantially similar to those of Illinois. The Illinois State Police will establish rules to identify the elements necessary to meet the substantially similar requirement. However, out of state residents are granted a limited exception to lawfully carry a concealed firearm within a vehicle if they are eligible to carry a firearm in public under the laws of his or her state or territory of residence and are not prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm under federal law. This rule becomes effective immediately. If the non-resident leaves leaves his/her vehicle unattended, he or she shall store the firearm within a locked vehicle or locked container within the vehicle in accordance with subsection (b) of Section 65 of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. SO... Does this mean we, as out of state visitors can carry (without an Il. permit) while in our vehicle but must store it when we leave the vehicle ? Or can I carry anywhere it's lawful to do so, but must store in a locked vehicle or container when I don't want to carry? About as clear as mud

My forks are up 1" also and today I noticed that the fork covers have hit the fender mount boss on the lower fork leg. guess I'm gonna have to do a fork rebuild soon, new everything in there. I'm going to try putting if off till riding season ends. 61K miles on the clock.

When mine had that appearance it was actually loose neck bearing, torquing the bearing corrected the off kilter look.

Or riding skills deficit !

I done it 2 months ago, Do I get a $10 refund?

I left my last job after 32 with them (age 55). I'm drawing a pension from them along with pretty good medical coverage. After a 1 year break I found a part time job that I like doing, pays ok and also gives me health care & dental coverage plus I'm vested in their pension plan after 5 years of service. I've been there 2 1/2 years now and enjoy my 4 day/ 28 hour work schedule. I don't regret leaving the first job AT ALL. Like you, it had become harder and harder to drag myself into that Hell hole. Like others have said, It's never too late to start saving for the future. Even a little each week adds up. Good Luck with whatever you decide.

40 psi here. I have only rode it in the neighborhood so far, may try a bit more air.
