THe chrome gas cap on my RSV has been bothering me lately with reflection in the windscreeen. I cant imagine how bad the bezel around all the do-dads on the gas tank would be on this thing.

I think I would really have a problem putting water in to gas and then think I was going to be able to run it in something. Call me crazy but my brain would probably lock up.

I have the entry level J&M jobs. If to do over again I would probably invest in the priceyer ones. I may try edsets in the future. I built myself an adapter so I can run earbuds along with or without the headsets. My shorty helmet dont have a mic so I run the earbuds.

I'm not saying they are right. But The white bike pulls over in the lane and slows. Clearly the SUV dont even seem to slow and closes the gap and then runs into the bike. Last time I knew of someone in an rearend accident the person driving into the back of someone got a failure to have vehicle under control ticket. The SUV could have slowed before hitting the bike, if so this is long before any stopping traffic, tire slashing, running over people and smashing of windows.

Hard to see but yea looks to be a belt seperation. Sharp curb, pot hole or even pavement gaps could cause it. If its that new maybe can get some sort of warrenty. Dont know but its worth the ask.

Saw this on the national news tonight. The SUV did hit one of the bikers causing him to go down and broke his leg. What caused the action for the fellow to try to slow or cut off the SUV prior to that? Did the SUV run some of them off the road? Cut them off. Dont know because all you get is the video, not anything prior. Were they right? NO but neither was the SUV. Wonder if someone in the SUV was on the road as soon as the bikes became agressive? Surely the passenger in the SUV could have gotten one tag number out of the mass of bikes. Were they jack a$$ causing the entire bike community to look bad? Maybe, but the other bike clubs dont help either. Some of those probably would have been carrying a firearm (sans permit) and just plunked the SUV dude. The reason I hold my reserve is once I was riding iwth some friends in Oklahoma. We got pushed off the side of the road into the breakdown lane and almost off a bridge. The driver never slowed to see if anyone was effected. We tracked them for about 15-20 miles and one of the guys that got squeezed off rode up next to them to give them a piece of mind, you know tell them they are number one and so on. The car then swerved to try to tak him out again. Well my buddy kicked the mirror off the side of the car and we went on our way. They werent using the mirror anyways when they merged.

Pretty reliable piece from what others have told me. I have 3 friends that are ladies that have had them as "starter" bikes. 2 of them are still riding them. The 3rd swapped for an 883 @ a good price a few years back. Enjoy.

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?
