  1. If your not familiar with how to wire up a relay and the goofy horn system (to me anyways) your best bet is the Carbon 1 deal from what I have read. If you try to operate one of the several Stebel/Wolo or knock off type horns like that off the standard connection your going to have issues down the road. They need more power than the OEM system can reliably provide. Here may be an option for you. I have a Stebel, but also installed one of these Sick Speed horns and they are loud for a "beep" type horn. Also a thread here. When I ordered mine the chrome ones were back ordered. The horns come in different colors so if you wanted to match a red one to your bike or blue etc. Mounting was easy. It comes with a couple flat tabs on the horn and I loosened them up matched them to the OEM horn bracket and installed.
  2. When that thing went "punk" over on its side I was thinking, maybe he should have had a spotter to help. It looked like and sounded like it could cause some damage. If that guy treated my torque wrench like that I beat him on the head. It aint real good to snap them like that. But hey its his $30 wrench so.......
  3. Motion sensor flood light maybe? Wire a stebel up to the motion sensor.
  4. Excellent magazine. Its the only one I have got for like 4 years now. the rest just dont have any info that useful
  5. I got a hole saw I can bring next time so you can put some cooling holes in if ya want?
  6. Hard to tell. But I dont think your @ 1000 RPM either. It sounds to me closer to the 500 than 1000 RPM. I have yet to run mine up to the limiter either.
  7. There ya go. Why are you carrying the brake fluid? If its a just in case thing, I would rethink my strategy. Parts stores are everywhere. Or you need to put it in a freezer bag, and then inside like a piece of tupperware or something. How big a hole you got in the bag now?
  8. Saddlebum, dont necessarily have to be your e-mail that got hijacked. Could be an e-mail of a friend and they got into their address book and got your addy from there.
  9. Well if it was last year some homeless guy has a nice collection.
  10. Basicly it is a car engine aint it? With all the plastic add on cowls etc alot of the bike like that hold heat terrible. Its got no place to go when sitting still.
  11. They dont look to come off easy to me. And I would say I'm a pretty fair mechanic. I am however NOT a carburetor guy. Run a couple more tanks of seafoam mixture thur if you think you can safely and see what you think. The carbs a buried up under and between the cylinders.
  12. SO you are able to run the GPS and play pandora at the same time?. Depending on what kind og holder you have for your phone here is wat a member here suggested to me for my Garmin. You take a 3x5 index card plastic box from office supply store. About $3 and cut the top off. then take the bottom and trim it so it will fit around your device and attach it to the mount like RAM mounts on the back side.
  13. I put a pair of commander 2 on over 17k ago. I just took the rear off. It could prob go another 2-3k but summer rains are upon our area.. I put a Shinko on the rear to try out. So far so good but it aint been on very long.

    Omgosh

    Oh my. You drink the kool aid?
  15. What ratio on the aeafoam have you run? Typical "normal" is one oz to a gallon. Try a double and drive some. When you get some of the new mix in carbs as ir sits some it should help disolve some of the gum. Fuel filter would be good to change soon as if you run the seafoam thru to filter it will loosen the crap in there also. Filter is kind of a pia to get at but read up on it.
  16. I am very happy with a FREE program called TYRE. Trace your route everywhere. Much simpler to use than the basecamp or mapsource thing. Give it a try, what have you got to loose?
  17. Well I cant say for sure on these machines, I can tell you my experience with cars. @ identical vehicles may show different ranges on a gauge. It can be the dash gauge or it could be the range the sensor reads and puts out. I higher pull cfm fan may help and I think most of that is either the number of blades on the fan or the curvature of them to make it pull. Only way you are going to know completely what temp it is running at is put a numerical reading gauge on it. I guess you could use one of those shot it heat sensor guns. Is the coolant new? or how old is it? Is thermostat opening all the way or partially restricted?
  18. Several years back the wife and I were in Gatlinburg Tn. We had come up from Cherokee and about half way it commenced to raining cats and dogs. We put rain gear on but stif were pretty wet. We got to Gatlinburg and looked for a place to get something hot to eat and dry out. The streets had so much water on them it was over the tops of my 10" boots and the bottoms of the mufflers I think. Thats when we found out there is no parking close to anything on main street in Gatlinburg. The streets looked like you could have had canoe races they had so much water running.
  19. Safe travels, good weather no breakdowns. Hopefully the only thing that may give you a little disadvantage will be the fuel range.
  20. Didnt look like that big of a deal a couple days ago. Not a real strong job. But last night when I saw the news they said this thing had really spread out wide. So could be lots of rain, but it dont look like a bad storm. But you cant always be sure.
  21. SO if this pump works 0-60 psi its fine for the rear also to me. As the max on the rear is only 57 PSI
  22. For the most part, I believe the linkage is sealed and has rubber boots on the links. I suppose you could give it a shot of spray white grease or WD40 type oil. One thing to watch from what I have been told is the pivot bolt for the shifter itself. I understand they have walked out on some.
  23. Theory of running the rear on the front from what I have read is. You run the arrow in the opposite direction because the way the belts are laid up when you corner then it loads the belts as if on the rear, also stopping. They are wound to "push" for rear tire and on the front you have to turn the tire around to get same results. At least thats how I have read it.
  24. Well being its posted in the Tour Deluxe side of the house I'm hoping he has one. For an RSV none. LOL On a bike with the windshield like they have you get a bit more wind and rai protection. Although I will say my Memphis Shades Phatt had very good coverage. Plus depending on which fairing you can get radio and some storage. Knowing what info I have now about intercom and radio on bike I would consider going back to the windshield, like on a Tour Deluxe of a Victory Cross Roads. Cruise is a must have.
  25. Look like handy units. I keep our rain suits in the left side. Weel with the CD player in there things are tight, especially on trips with wife. I figured out I could roll one of the jackets up and stuff in the lid. then I used some of the really small 1/4" bungee cords and made an X from the screws for the lock and hinge. It holds the jacket great.
