  1. Boy I sure thought I saw a place on the google maps to export to a GPS. but now that I went there I dont. but I could open your route in TYRE and make a GPX file for you to import. Have you used TYRE? Its FREE
  2. I used the supplied brackets, just loosened them up and attached whede OEM horn was. Relay is installed up behind it.
  3. Definitely better than the beep beep horn.
  4. I thought you just had to turn the phone when you downloaded them to get them straight. I too remember a couple ears there they had terrible nagging things on the Ultra bikes. Valve train something. Had to put new adjusters in
  5. look at the picture of the bulb with the base tipped up towards you. Its backwards but if you read it it looks to say 55/60w. I ran a Wagner 80/100 and it was really nice as I could keep my modulator, but after reading some threads I got scared I was over taxing the wiring for the headlight. So I went HID. you appear to be safe with what you have.
  6. I like the eyebrow idea. but all the light strips I have seen have black background so far and that would stick out like a sore thumb. So the other option would be to drill out each and every hole and insert the lights from behind, run the wires into the fairing and reattach the eyebrow. My alternative plan is to get the strip lights and add them down by the bottom of the fairing by where the clear lower piece comes off. So would a guy get in trouble for running white like a daylight running light?? I know its supposed to be yellows at front. I did mount up some strip LED on the bottom of the bags so they work as run/turn signals. Used a piece of plumbers strap I had,painted it and attached to longer bolts through the bag mounts.
  7. OEM size 150/80-16 is a 71 load (761lb) @ 42 psi the rear 150/90-15 rear is 80 load (992lb)@ 42 psi for tourmaster 230. The 777 150/90-15 is 74 load (827) http://www.shinkotireusa.com/tires/cruiser/touring
  8. Contact Steve M61A1MECH He sells a pre wired plug and play out fit that goes under the trunk. Sort of looks like this on pictured.
  9. Wont work for a second gen though.
  10. The tourmaster 230 get decent reviews over on the HD sites I have looked at for info. While not the milage we typically see from the MC2, E-3 and Avons they say its good. If I remember rite its around 8K. The load rating is higher than any of the before mentioned tires also. I have one mounted up on the back of my 09 RSV and will be interested in seeing what kind of milage I get.
  11. 1st gen I am guessing.
  12. I agree. These picker type shows along with Barret Jackson type stuff have killed any deals anymore. Everybody that has a rusty old hulk prices it like it a family member becaus he saw one sell on tv for x amount. Crazy
  13. Actually a fellow has one for sale off a TD I believe. Here is the link. Contact him thru it and if you cant let me know by PM and I'll get him in contact with you. I had mounted a Reckless on my 900 Kawasaki and thought it was a good product for the price.
  14. Maybe some 2 part epoxy and you can shape it.
  15. I dunno about that. I aint got no recalls on my 96 or 02 Dodges. Newest thing in my garage is the 09 Venture. LOL My bro-inlaw is a GM man, and boy has he got the grief from me the last few months. He has a really nice G8 Pontiac and so far its not on the list of burn to the ground stuff. I keep asking about his avalanche and he says no. but I saw where 1/2 ton PU were on a list, so I dont know how it would miss. sorry first time I have seen it.
  16. See nows your an expert. Well sort of.
  17. I certainly would think greasing the shaft is not going to hurt anything. You can kind of check how much play in the splines by dropping it in gear and when you get the diff off the back see how much twist you can get out of the shaft.

    I dont know if our replacement pump for 2nd gens will work on the 1st gen. but if it will I did a write up and its in the tech section on how to use a Mr Gasket pump that all in about $50 pump, fittings and all.
  19. A friend of mine sent this to me. For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, Ford issued a press release stating: If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part): 1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash.........twice a day. 2.. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3... Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. 4.... Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5..... Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads. 6...... The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light. I love the next one!!! 7....... The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying. 8........ Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. 9......... Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car. 10.......... You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off. PS - I'd like to add that when all else fails, you could call "customer service" in some foreign country and be instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!!!!
  20. In that case the cards work well. From what I have been told the cards work good for Canada, Mexico, bahamas and the like.
  21. OH yea call your cell company and find out about your coverage also. Most times you can get it set up for "international" so it will work up there. If you dont set something up with them ahead of time and you need to use it, the cost is crazy $$$$$ I had mine turned on there with Sprint for like an extra $10 just incase.
  22. LED is the hot ticket. Good light and low amp draw. Most have the yamaha light bars with the 4.5" passing lights. I have seen smaller LED mounted on forks by calipers, off the fenders, down by the foot crash bars sort of all over. If you go halogen make sure they are no more than 35w as they will draw to much power more than likely
  23. Monty I sure hope you are staying on our side of the falls. No passport no re entry to US. And the backlog on these things is tremendous now that you have to have one to even go on a cruise.
  24. Last year a couple of my buddies and I made the trip across. We crossed in upper Ny by Syracuse. About 40 mi wait. Came back thru buffalo and it might have took us 30-40 min of creeping in line. Had way way less questions trying to get back in US than go over to visit. I just used the credit card for everything. Some US cash at a DQ and burger joint no worries.
