  1. We have kicked the idea around. I like the idea of a toyhauler, but she wants the garage area seperate from main living quarters. Show us some more inside pics when you get a chance. Looks good. Congrats.
  2. Need to ask in 1st gen, But Im going to guess thats just getting broke in.
  3. I forgot about the econo bake Earl Shive shops. We dont have any where I live so they kind of slip your mind. My 900 vulcan I took the fairing to a friend that owns a body shop. He closely mathed the paint with some house of color paints. I took him a side cover off that bike to match up to.
  4. So if you are using the intercom, does it cut in and out like the radio? Shoot @ $135 I would almost be leaning towards just going with the Sena SMH 10. But thats me
  5. Beach- aint that the truth. If more folks would live closer to thier means I dont think the econmoy would have been so messed up. I dont mean you cant finance anything, just be smart about it. Dont figure your montly payments to the last dollar. Because I can asure you something will go south, then your over extended. Loads of years back probably 10 or more we refinanced the house as rates dropped etc. So was good time. When we refiananced the mortgage compny tried really hard for us to take out more money like up to 110% of what house was valued at. Thats just plain stupid to loan more than what something is valued at in my book. No wonder FANNY mac or whatever it was went upside down. Im not a finance major, but that there just dont make sense, no what I mean Vern?
  6. Well at least if you know there is no reserve you can watch for the odometer to hit your say 160 miles and just stop.
  7. Got to love the auto spell thing on phones. One day at me sons place we spent an hour I bet him reading off a web siteb with screwy auto spell statements.
  8. Hmm A slingshot with a slanted nose.
  9. Yea those connecors look really good.
  10. Made a head gasket for an outboard out of a pop can once.
  11. A couple years back I was doing the insurance look around thing. So applied online to like 5. When I finally picked one they were going to bump my cost because of to many inquireies. So your rooked either way. We have a couple credit cards and a couple store credit cards. The "major" credit cards we use for travel or a big item. Usually try to get it paid off ASAP. May not be in next month but depending on how much as soon as we can. But its a racket to be sure.
  12. Well it points that way dont it. Dont know you skills, but maybe pull the unit out and open the cover. See if you can find a chaffed wire or maybe a loose wire on the circuit board.
  13. I have done a fair amount of do it yourself painting on race cars and trailers. I had a 07 Vulcan 900 I put a bat wing fairing on. I thought about painting it myself and did some reading up. To get the paint to look decent its about a 3 step process under controled conditions. You need a correct mixture of hardeners in the paint, and there will be a seperate clear coat and it will have hardeners also. If you go with a OEM color Color Rite is about the only place you can get paint to match. You probably need at least a quart of color and whatever of clear. Your probably $200 in paint. Now if you get the parts off and dings fixed, see if you have a local colege or trade/tech school with auto body class. They will sometimes do it for cost of materials and a small fee. Not saying you cant do it but it is a bit more involved than spray and go. Being you have a bag hurt bad. Maybe when you get it fixed, go to local Autozone and find an auto touch up spray bomb you like and see ifyou can get a finish you like. Worst case you dont like and sand down and give it a try with something else. Good luck.
  14. Hmm may have to look for it next time I need wash. So far I have had the best luck with Bike Brite. Tried the S 100 stuff and didnt think it worked as well. I have about a half galon of bike brite to go thru before I worry about it. I dont wash it a lot. Mostly just the spray n wax stuff.
  15. Starting to point to connection. Possibly ground bad. How does the back of the connector look. Seems I remember a post here a week or so back a fellow had a connector the wires looked heat damaged and was giving him some problems.
  16. Couple ways you can protect those parts. Disconnect battery, unplug the computers and you should be good to go. Discon the battery should do the biggest part of trick.
  17. I have a pir of Nelso Riggs and a Tourmaster. Both 2 piece deals. Had them for like 7 yr now and still work well. They can be hot inb90+ weather. Sometimes you just have to decide if the rain would be a refreshing rinse. The PVC type gear is all I have ever had, so its what I have had luck with.
  18. Quite a few years back Boston Whaler had a comercial about how their boats were made to no sink. The front part of the boat was sawed off and it srill floats up the river.
  19. Me thinks maybe it aint the first time he's done that.
  20. Yea the E3 when it wears seems to get a "chop" pattern in outside edge. Sort of feathered look. My biggest complaint on E3 was no cross over of tread in center, so when it gets wet no place for water to go and tire wants to hydroplane.
  21. Depends on where you got them. If you got them at parts house and have reciept, take them back. Last I checked the mobil 1 filter still is made correct for ou4 bikes. A few bucks more but good filter.

    I supose it could be a failed relay. But in the close to 100 of these I think I have built I have got 1 bad relay. And I found that on a bench check prior to shipment. Also I think if if relay goes bad it would act just like key was off because now power would cross switch.
  23. When he jumped "real" motorcyles I would watch on wide world. The whole rockt cycle thing I thought was bogus. But to think he and the other guys jumping at the time did all that stuff with no engineers or computers etc. Just a guess and by golly. He was definatly a BS artist.

    I make the by pass relay kit. I make them in a standard whick simply installs and helps save the switch. Or I can make a keyless for a complete by pass if needed. I am also working on sourcing a switch so I could make a complete kit for someone should the OEM switch fail. All of the kits are plug and play. PM if need more info.
  25. Here are the 2 listing I saved. This one on bids starting $245 and $9.50 shipping. This on buy it now/best offer. You may be able to offer say $10 less than asking and get it. $254 free shipping.
