Glad yall are ok

Change of plans I am staying at my sister's house in Blacksburg so if any one wants to meet it will be at I-77 WV exit 9 at Cracker Barrell 0630 then leave 0730 on the 7th. WV exit 146 around 1000 for a gas stop then jumping off 77 onto 250 (gas and lunch) then 58 on up. Leaving Goose Creek Thursday (6th) around 0700 going up US 52 to 8(NC) to US 460(VA) into Blacksburg http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.com/rideplanner/share/547363

Just went through this last year. Since it is intermittent it may be hard to find unless it quits all out. 1 check the connection at the rectifier make sure no burns or dirty connectors. 2 check the white connector going to the stator under the battery tray this is a weak point lots of people have just soldered the wires. 3 check your ground wires going to the battery both of them 4 if all of these are good check the stator voltage 5 if stator voltage is good check the voltage at the battery Mine turned out to be the stator, however it is usually one of the connections.

Above and beyond

I talked to someone a year or two ago that had a similar idea but never did hear how it worked out.

Pain to get too but not too bad it is behind your radiator on the bottom of the bike. If you take the lowers off it is easier to get to. It's held in by two 10MM head screws. Check all of your connections to the regulator before you change it then see if you still get the brightening. The regulator plug and stator plug under the battery are common culprits in charging but are normally associated with loss of voltage.

Regulator is probably going bad just replaced mine because that was happening.

Prayers go out to them

Like natural Bridge in Va?

Mike, Thanks I dropped them a message will see what they say. I am strongly leaning towards doing nothing at this time and if i need dentures later that will be the route I go. I can't understand why dental work cost so much.

My dentist referred me to an oral surgeon

My wife told me I could get a whole set of dentures alot cheaper.

Went to the dentist a few months back and he suggested I look into getting implants for the 4 back teeth I am missing. After several office visits with the oral surgeon and $400 later they tell me my insurance will not cover any of it and that the cost will be $10,000. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around paying that much money for teeth I have been missing for 20 years. Has anyone had implants put in and was it worth it?

I have a GoPro using a RAM mount on the handle bars, one of the guys in the PGR has a onboard DVR with 2 cameras says his wife made him get it. http://www.eyespypro.com/products/Compact-4-Camera-Vehicle-DVR-With-H.264-Compression-3G-and-GPS.html

I did a carb sysnch last night and I have found a very bright flashlight helps otherwise I just give it a stab and hope for the best.

He lives 12 miles from me.

Got it going and had a good visit, I did have to call in a tech assist from Rusty (Beau-Kat) and after talking to him we discovered one of the carb boots was not tightened down after that it synched up real easy and Randy was off. Waiting on a trip report to see if that took care of his issues. I really liked the way he has customized his midnight it looks really sharp.

Give me a shout and let me know when is good for you and I will ride up. My number is on my profile.

Randy Have you synched the carbs? If you do not have a carb synch come by and I will help you with it or I can come by if you do not want to run it. The pilot jets may be clogged and they are hard to unclog. You may need to let the seafoam set in the carbs for awhile also. Before you rebuild give them a good cleaning. Where are you in Charleston?

Come on down

Hope it clears up so yall can get out and ride, I put 600 miles on the bike this weekend

Looks like the way to go this will be my first time going.

What kind of seat did you use?

Who and what's MD?

Amazon has one used and e-bay has a few.
