  1. Might be able to tell more if we could see the pics before and after from Killboy, but like was said before it does not look good.
  2. I had thought the same thing but after I looked at yours I noticed no radio controller visible so It is was probally not flipped.
  3. I probally went overboard, however I use strap extenders (soft) to go around the tubes straps to the center stand points and a strap across the chock and front wheel even though the chock itself would probally keep the bike in place with no straps.
  4. Does your MP3 Player power through USB also? I have a plug in USB power adapter and just leave my MP3 connected to it for power.
  5. I too have arthritis in my neck and back and have had similiar symptoms here, so you may want to get checked out to make sure it is actually the bike and not a problem with your back or neck just in case.
  6. I have never done a poker run, never really understood the draw one of these days I may try one. I have only been riding with groups for little less than a year now and I am still worried I will do something stupid and hurt someone always looking for input to improve.
  7. The mods that stick out for me are: Lowering links Car tire 130 on the front Solo conversion Lots of light mods and additions (Hid,LED, etc...) Replacing the Cassette Dec Buddy Rich Cable Butler Mod Muffler Mods
  8. The PO of my bike put the JC Whitney one on and I need to reinforce the underside since there is a hairline crack on one of the holes, it looks ok but I do like the looks of the OEM better. My Yamaha one on my other bike is better structurally, however the chrome seems to wear down real easy.
  9. I like. Are they sequential or do they come on all at once?

    Scam????

    The heck with Pay-Pal I want to hear about the 51-Merc.
  11. I just talked to her and she is sore and in some pain, however looks like she is intact overall the bike is a mess but they did get a trailer to bring it back and most likely will leave in the morning. She has limited computer access and asked me to update her status.
  12. We will be riding up 26 and 77 from Charleston and stopping in Rural Retreat Va overnight then continuing on up to Ohio.
  13. Glad it was not more serious, sounds like you might have a decent mechanic. Take it slow to start, maybe find a big parking lot and practice more before he gets on the road.
  14. Check your battery and connections, I had the same symptoms on a bike before. When the RPMS drop the bttery did not have enough juice to keep it running. Since the starter switch cuts out the lights and other items it would turn over slowly like you describe. Either the battery is borderline or you have corroded connections.
  15. Welcome, Enjoy the ride and feel free to ask questions, these guys have a wealth of knowledge.
  16. Congrats, my daughter goes for her black in July so I understand how much work you two have put into it. Again Congrats and good luck on the black.
  17. I told my daughter what the target was and she tells me she has a handle on it so we will see. I guess it helps to have a kid in high school for this one.
  18. I added a small fuse block under the seat so I only have one extra lead from the battery and run everything off it. I will get the part number and a pic when I get home if you would like.
  19. It is not in this months flyer, however I get a new one each month and if it is in May's I would be happy to send it to you.
  20. I woud be intersted in tuner/amp and a cassette deck. I want to try to develope some new cables/interfaces and it would be nice to have a test bed.
  21. I bought the cheapest J&M sierra carries and it works well, next one will be the midrange one just for a little more fidelity.
  22. I think it should count (not in uniform may be a sticky point) but I think you should get extra points for the LEO being a biker. I found out that they frown upon you taking pictures of the prisions around here to the point they will ask to see your camera.
