Eddie, I have a friends son who has been riding off and on for the last 3-4yr, without a Mc endorsement. His dad and I both have raked him over the coals on this telling him that should something happen its just like driving with no licence. He could loose his house, cars etc. I my self have been in the insurance is higher than what the car is worth.

I'm still trying to figure out what color or shade of folder on the left means what. I'll take a stab that if its bold dark subject it has a new post.

For $750 I would look into one of them e-z up screen room things.

Well I asked a couple of folks but no answer. any of you smart guys tried a basket out of a first gen? What about a V-max? Same motors right? And I have not read anything about one of those screaming.

Boss man is in middle of upgrading site as you are visiting. So for you, you might not notice anything different. For us old timers around here some things look strange. but its all good to keep the site running and manageable..

PM sent to both you all.

I tried to look for an ad in member vendor for like the by-pass. so on a guess its not been added to site yet.

I had another bike painted. I do have a friend that own a body shop that did the work. I asked when his slow time was and if that would be an OK time to bring the parts. I disassembled my painted parts and took pieces to him. We had picked out paint thru House Of Color. Which was a brand he used so if he needed maybe a splash of say the flex stuff he had it and did not have to waste or buy special. I think he told me a Qt for 2 fenders, bat wing fairing side covers.

If you are trying to make something connect, normally less resistance is good. So for your pump with 4 being the low end you are reading 2 so there is less "restriction" for the electricity to go thru. Typically the OEM fuel pumps go about 30k miles. Some more some less. Mine was about 32-32,000. I would hit reserve and bike would sputter and miss and engine all but quit. I would flip to reserve and engine never would catch up and you would have to pull off the side of the road and let the pump cool down, or at least thats what it seemed like to me. After this almost getting me hurt a couple times I started to investigate the Mr Gasket pump replacement. Since then not a lick of problems concerning fuel. Check the points out. If you remember the old days when we had ignition points you will know what your looking for in a bad set.

Drop me a PM Barkeep. Got some parts coming and should have some built up b Monday.

Look thru the gps section here at some of the threads. There are a couple on the traffic thing. Like I mentioned previously, to me its more of a gimick than a useful thing. On a 675 mile trip from where I am in center of Fla to north side of Charlotte it only picked up in a couple places. Orlando, jacksonville I think and Charlotte. Not positive on Jacksonville. Then heading south from Cincinatti back to Fla maybe 5 cities if that. So for me its not a big selling point.

I have a question on this subject I just thought of the other day. For the most part the first and second gen engines are , the same. So why doen no one complain about clutch whine on the 1st gen? Could you install a clutch basket for a first gen in a second gen?

GRRRRR Its BACK. Got an e-mail from Retiredgolfer and he said it's back to old tricks again. So this is what maybe 3 months. I never did get a repeat no start once I had it here at the house and started OHM wires, and clean connections. If I understand right, the side stand switch makes no difference as long as you are in neutral. And of course thats what is being indicated, so if green light on dash should be good. Kind of points to the SCC thingy ma-jig.

Mine worked when in the Ram mount. But its a real PIA to connect and disconnect. I dont belive the mini usb cables are traffic able. What I mean is the flat cable like pic has something like 15 pins. In these pins are the antenna stuff. The usb cable does not have sufficient pins to transfer the data needed. I would be suprised Garmin would make the GPS and have traffic on it if you could not use it on the bike, especially for that kind of money. Have you been on some of the GPS forums and asked about this unit. Them guys are way more verse on these things.

We were up that way the week of 10-16. We found about the oposite. LOL Had to be above about 1500ft to se any real change of color. The week we were up there had quite a bit of rain and it sure took a toll on leaves. But thats the way it goes.

The couple aftermarket fairings I have delt with were fiberglass. My Reckless was fiberglass. Kind of like this?? http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTAtqKyRIKPAYTcVtBHoU3G-l2Ww6sv8Qoeg-beQvxBjBTce2RvNw With and RSV I suppose maybe you could fit some LED smaller type lights in there.

I was looking to change over to the Senna earlier this year. So there is a pretty long thread with info on what it will and wont do. Of course the newer SMH20 is more feature rich, but what do you need?

Just a couple weeks ago going thru Ga. I was between Blue Ridge Ga and 441 over by Dillard. I put 5.6 gal in I think it was. I Was afraid I was going to have to push this big ole thing.

I probably did to not even realizing it. Can we send some e-mails to the v-buliten folks to see if they will get off thier can and answer you?

I would say thats a pretty good indication the pump is going bad. I dont know if the pump on your bike is the same as the second gen, but those are notorious for the points going bad. they are replaceable for about $30 some odd dollars. some of us have just went ahead and changed to a Mr Gasket aftermarket pump. Wait for some of the more experienced 1st gen guys to be sure.

WOW thats a pricey unit. But anyways, I was reading on the Garmin site it says it does do traffic. My Nuvi 765t has traffic, but you have to use a specific cable. Mine is kind of a flat multi pin outfit. Well one of the tabs that allows it to disconnect broke so it is hard to get it out now. I just went to a mini-usb charge plug made for it. The cord does not have the antenna for the traffic. My experience the traffic thing is pretty much useless. Only certain cities even broadcast the information. then you have to be familiar with the road system most of the time to get around accidents anyways. For traffic you need a cord like this. the fat black thing is the antenna for traffic.

I guess this is sort of what I had in mind and was thinking. But I really thought it looked more like a chariot, but you get the idea. http://www.wackyowl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Motorcycle-For-People-Who-Are-In-Wheelchairs1.jpg http://i.usatoday.net/news/_photos/2008/11/13/bosshossx-topper-medium.jpg

I'm not currently working. But....... I'm in for $20 for the Help Upgrade Fund. If you find some help and they need some cash.

Ah OK so I think I understand now. Its kind of like Windows XP. It works great, evryone knows how it works so lets make something new and drop all support for the good system.

Actually a while back I saw a similar type deal that was built for a paraplegic so he could pull he chair up into the chariot and then go.
