Thanks now I got a ball park figure I think.

Hey fellow riders. The wife and I are planning a stay up in the area again this fall. We are staying in Lake Lure with a friend. I am planning on taking a day to go up the Maggie Valley way. I want to go to the Wheels Through Time museum. I sort of guessed 3 hours or so for the museum. Is that about right.

2 things I have found that cause the ticking. If the "IC" volume is high then it picks up more motor noise. Also you may find repositioning the audio cables on the right side a little will help.

Mike the lights are on all the time, so I would think they are better than a reflector. I guess I could check and see if with lights off if the reflect. The stripes on the bags reflect.

Dont fill oil to top of line? I'm at 25k right now, so I reckon I'm due for a valve check. But we have a trip planned of 1200 miles or so and I reviewed the thread on the procedures to check the valves and man I really dont want to go down that road right now. I'm probably going to be 3-4k over due when I get to it. Cripes it sounds like you have to just about disassemble half the bike to do it. Remove seat, gas tank, air cleaners, air box, carbs geeze......... And thats to just get to the valve covers!!!!!!!

Sounds like it needs a bit of beefing up.

Black Owl heres a trick we use to do when I lived in Oklahoma. At the time our phone was simular to your IP. Probably 30-40% of time was ka-put. Especially if it rained. So we started to keep track. We would report it and bug the heck out of them. Then we started to deduct for days of no service. Then they finnaly came out and fixed the line.

On a jump start guess I would still go with the radio being the issue. Maybe the ground for it.

I just put over 1500 in 2 days on my 09 with a pillow top. One day was 775 mile from Bluefield Wv to my house in central Fl. Did great. Cost me over $700 to get a seat on my Kawasaki I could ride all day. So whats thier idea here. Pay to park so you can look in thier store, then they deduct it off your purchase or something? Last Oct we stayed in Franklin Nc. Small town easy to get to lots of good roads and not alot of the touresty traffic.

Well I think what your looking for are the second gen rear reflector mounts. They are sort of a clamp together deal and use a location hole to keep from sliding around. You may have to just fabricate a bracket or something to cover up the holes. I took my reflectors off and mounted LED clearence lights in them. REally helps in the dark hours. I also wired them up so they are a run/turn signal.

I ran win 98 until nothing supported it. So then I put XP on. A buddy said he could upgrade me to Win 7 but I dont know nothing about it or how it works and how much I'm going to have to re-learn, file system structure etc. I understand Win 8 is actually built for touch screen computers and is much morelike android tablets/phones. But dont work really well with some programs, but its what your stuck with. Some of the race sim forms I have been on have work arounds so these simulators will work. But my question is why should you have to "fake" the system into thinking one thing so it will run a program correctly?

She looks familiar Mike. She come up with you all when you came up here to Sebring? I'm terrible with names. I forget mine thats why its on my shirts I think. Congrats pass along. I need to get back and do a refresh course as I havent been in like 20yr. I'm allwas scouting the Craigslist up this way so if you give me an idea of $ and what kind of bike shes angleing for we can see what out there.

[ame] [/ame] A great bass player. Tal Wilkenfield if Jeff Beck asks you to play with him you must be good. I became a BIG fan of hers in the spring when I saw her on a channel called Paladia. Got to about 4 min in on video.

Ahhh OK thanks for clearfying. I have added relays to most extras I have added. First thing was the passing lights as the OEM set up melted the glass fuse holder. I added and Aux fuse box for rear light bar, side LED driving lights and a couple other things I dont remember right now.

I have tightend mine 3 times in about the last year and half. I'm thinking I need to take to dealer and let them find out why and replace the bearings.

Almost took a trip to home depot to see what I could come up with. then the rain started again. So I skipped it. I dont know about todays auto stores having AN line. I bet most the guys working there wouldnt know an AN fitting from a pipe fitting. You go in and ask and first question is "whats it fit". My usual answer is "its going to fit on".......if you got it.

LOL Mike while on my trip to Canada I had a tour pack on the passenger part of the seat. On one of the days returning home (on the hurry up plan) I got off to get gas and didnt quit clear the drive backrest. Foot sort of hung up and there you are, creating a new dance to no music. But I didnt hit the ground, just looked really silly. I think your off the hook though.

Hmm so the 4 prong oem plug goes into the part I didnt know about. Where would a fellow find a 4prong male side to fit the bike plug? I may have some plugs off old harness in the garage to salvage, but whether or not the baynets point the rite direction is another issue. Whats your additional relay for there? If your relocating the main fuse whats its purpose?

DOUGH didnt even think about just taking out the valve core. Hmm Yea the air pressure is pretty low @ 7 psi. May be able to pick up parts at local ace hardware store or something.

The truck balance kits are pricey. Here is a pic of a kit for rear of HD. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Harley-Davidson-FLHT-Touring-UltraClassic-96-Motorcycle-Air-Shock-Absorbers-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/~d4AAOxy79VRcXED/$T2eC16J,!)0E9s37FbCyBRc(ECsMKQ~~60_12.JPG I'm thinking earls lines. Are the holes for the air valves 8mm? If so a fitting like this some -4 an line and a T fitting. Would probably have to thread the inside of one of the T fitting holes to reinstall the scharder valve. The fitting lists for about $8ea T fitting $18 Line if you get like brake lines @ 6" run $18ea. Should be able to buy unmade bulk line less but you still need to add ends then. Anyway we go it aint cheap. Prices were from Summit

I did look at the post. I left a message on that thread about the harness mod. Definatly a good idea to put it where a human could get at it. Here is a pic I posted there.

I like the ide of relocating the main fuse to somewhere a human can get to. I do have a couple of questions on the harness though. I looked at the wireing schematic and think I am looking at it right but still...... There is a 4 prong connector that goes in under the relay. 2 of those (the top I think) are jumpers more or less and feed the top of the fuse. On your harness I see 2 female spade connectors, I'm guessing these go to the relay as that is the only connections still in tack after my experience. It was like the outer "box" plastic deal broke loose from the relay. On your harness the black connector I'm missing where/what it goes to. See attachment please.

rougeray: Thanks for the link. I havent looked it up yet. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one to run across this. Seems where the unit hangs its condusive to collecting battery overflow and also probably alot of splash from the wheel. I too applied the dielectric grease on the blades now but it dont help the fact that the plastic has seperated. The blades look pretty corroded and unfortunatly I didnt find a good way to clean other than scraping with a flat screw stick.

Have not looked at schematic in awhile. but if power is available off the 5 pin and your using a condensor mic, couldnt you get your power off there vs a stand alone (battery) power? I have been looking at building a headset also for my shorty. I built a splice in 5 pin connector and have run a seperate 3.5mm cable up for sound with the std 5pin. I plug in ear buds and it helps me actually hear the music especillay with the shorty helmet. They just seem to want a bunch of money for a shorty helmet set up that I just need the 5 pin plug (which I now know where to get) and a mic.

Would be interesting to see if they have a 5yr old kit still in stock. I haent been able to find one either.
