  1. I have a Garmin 765. I use a ram mount, I also have a ram mount for mu cell phone. That one is the X type. Unless its raining pretty hard they dont get wet. If I am concerned about it I use a zip top bag over it.
  2. Heading that way Oct 13th or so.

    fog lights

    Mine run of a key on power wire off my by pass relay.
  4. Sorry. mowing machine. Kind of like the snow blower only the blades lay flat against the ground and chew grass. I try not to use mine much so it will last longer. lol
  5. Thanks Puc. I have these useless trees here called Palms. Very slender tall things, not much good for shade. Although when thier leaves fall of some of them can be 4 or 5 ft long. The seeds of them look sort of like grapes but are orange and hard as a rock. They make a lot of racket when you run them over with the moing machine.
  6. Whats this falling leaves thing your talking about?
  7. Isn't hard to ride down the road standing on ur head looking at them things?
  8. Hmm I dunno what the @#$ difference the color makes. Its going to be inside an engine covered in oil and behind a cover. Better question is, if your 2nd gen clutch basket starts screaming, can you put a first gen one in. Nobody seems to complain about that on the 1st gen.
  9. I have been in some "bad" motels over the years with traveling for work a lot and riding the bike. but you said worst, so I figured this one is pretty bad as it still stick in my wife and my mind when you say worst motels. Vicksburg Mississippi. At the time it was a Knights inn. We had traveled all day from south of Tampa bay area and that's how far we made it that day. Place didn't look all that bad from outside, but it was getting dark when we stopped. Checked in, dropped bags and went to go eat. So we get back and its like 7pm or something. Get ready to jump in shower, noticed water was running some and probably for awhile as there was a noticeable stain from dripping water. Took a very long time to get "warm water" Carpet was pretty crappy looking if I remember but I was like "hey I just need to sleep for a few and we are gone". So we get in bed and we must have been closer to a truck stop than I originally thought as you could hear air brakes and such pretty well. Once we turned the lights out there was as much light from under the door as through the window. I had to take towels and shove them in the under door gap to keep out critters and coll air in. Have never stayed in that brand of hotel since. I would have got more sleep at a rest area on a picnic table.

    A Sad day!!

    The 3 or so badly designed chryslers I have been exposed to can actually be traced back to the then owning company. The 200 is probably a FIAT (fix it again Tony) The other was the crossfire a Mercedes and some of the sebrings which were Mitsubishi

    I dunno how said I would be. They will give you a couple hundred @ the crusher. The Grand Ams I have had to work on (small ones) aint been that great.
  12. The spring perch will pretty much only anjust ride heighth. There is a set screw looking thing on the bottom of the shock, that will become your bump/rebound adjustment now. There should be a allen wrench included with shock purchase.
  13. The button on the cord one I posted is from the company in link. I can make the earbud adapter, but not for what I have similar parts available off ebay. They just buy way more qty and thus cheaper parts price. The mute button thing is quality rig.
  14. Pretty much the spring controls ride height. On the bottom of the shock you can see what looks like a set screw. Directions will tell you which way does what. Normally Hagon sets them per your order prior to shipment. My advice is to install the shock so the set screw adjustment is facing the right side of bike. That way when resting on side stand you have more room to get in there and click the shock.
  15. If it is front one of 2 it should have the nutplate. Rear one remove cover and check to see if the bracket/nutplate are still usable. If not maybe a helicoil to repair it.
  16. This is what I am using.
  17. I think the big difference in sound is the speakers that mount in the helmets. I also have installed push to talk buttons on both the wife and my cords. They plug right in where the headset does then headset plugs into this cord. They are like $30-40 each. It helps with the woosh from wind when not talking. I still couldnt hear as well as I would like and turning up the volume just made more background noise. So I made a plug so I can use ear buds. This works great for me any ways. if you have to buy all new equipment anyways, you might want to look into the SENA SMH 10. They are bluetooth and you can connect like 6 of them together. SO you can have you and your passenger, pus each can listen to whatever music source independant of eachother if you like different music.
  18. 10-4 on the crank up phone volume. What I finally did at one point was use a boosteroo in line mini amp. Final fix was an in line amp wired up under the fairing. Now I only run about 1/2 volume..

    Dead Bike

    Glad to hear all is good.
  20. Ya know, if it wasnt to anoying one of those lighted toggle switches wouldnt be bad.
  21. Yup would have to agree the push on off button is a pain to figure if on or off as there is no indicator light. Shoot most times I cant even find the dang button.
  22. When I get back home I can send you some pics of inexspensive switch mount to build.
  23. Forget listed weight of my 900 kawi vulcan. It was a good bike. Early ones were known to have stator probs, but are probably all fixed by now. Lol HD 883 might fit in there also.
  24. OEM suggested wiring is thru low beam. I also like to run mine when I want. So it is energized by the aux plug via a relay.
  25. I have a cramp buster on my RSV. Nice to rest your hand. Long ago we would also use an o ring between the throttle and the housing. Something for a little friction.
