Hmm I dont usually have a problem finding them. However the other day I was looking at some weather forecasting stuff and ran across an app I have a Victory app that has radar layer that workes decent as long as Sprint has service where I'm at.

And a partrige and a pear tree.

I'll measure mine up tomorrow if I remember and send a pic. Mine is on the right side.

OOPs error in reading our schedule. The race is Sunday so we will be leaving Mon AM. One of my group is going to leave after race and start the trip back to Charlotte solo. Ride maybe a few hours then stop. My normal riding buddy and I will leave Mon and I should be able to talk him into about a 7am start I hope. I called my ins (AARP Foremost) and I was covered in Canada, but the nice lady told me I did need a seperate ID card and sent it in the mail. Finalizing is all but done, I'm working on a few tools to put in the bags, music and hoping I can get all the clothes I need into the bags without having to take a bag strapped to the seat like I have before.

Adjure 4.5" bulbs/housings. Unfortunalty not cheap. $63 range. I bought a pair off e-bay clear unfluted for around $25-30 when I got mine. Or you can go the LED route. High dollar units run something like $180 I think for a pair. Or some have had sucess with a northern tool LED in a rubber housing you take out of the housing and install in passing light mount, and they run about $40 ea.

If it was really crappy looking might just have to bleed it out some after a few days of riding. It sort of cycles the fluid thru and also forces the bubles if any to the bleeder.

I have had pretty good luck making spacers out of alum tubing from one of the big hardware stores. Not sure that would work here as dont know how much pressure is actually on them. The washer route would work too. The big hardwar/lumber places have bins with all sorts of washers in SS and chrome and do dads and what nots. Also might try a tractor supply if you have those or up Wis was a farm and fleet. If you using say 3ea 5/16 washers I would glue them together or a piece of heat shrink to keep together.

Timing is everything. I had a legedns race car for sale for 3yr or so. I advertised on a lot of the legends group sites, well they already had them so unless it was a give away they probably were'nt interested. I ran it several times on Craigs list before I got any hits. It was all in the timing and luck I guess. I sold it for less than I really wanted to, but my storage space ran out and it had to go. Good luck, if it aint costing you anything for it to sit around just change up the ad now and then and repost on CL. I made up like 3 different listings (ads) and when one ran out or was close I would post again. Pics help also.

TDunc; OOPS on my part. Never saw the "trip" tab. So I tried using it for the date I needed which is the 27th of this month. Guess its to far out as of now to give a guess. Looks as though 8 days is it. Like was mentioned any more than that and wont be terribly accurate most likely. Thanks for the tips on how to make it work. While searching I did get a couple hits that lead to an app for smart phones for weather forecast for motorcycling. Anyone tried them?

Surely you would only have that pipe installed as a "test" pipe rite??? (cough cough) On the oil cooler front an idea for ya. Dont know if you could hide it enough for your liking but a small computer case fan could be mounted to the cooler and it would draw air to help cool. Most run off 12v dc and draw nothing for power.They come in all sizes.

Yea Trader I dont get it. I'd rather fire up the bike any day then take the car. They seem to have a hard time leaving all the extras at home. Pair of shoes for this day and these shoes dont match my jeans, 4 different bluses "just in case". I'm leavin Fla on the 27th for Canada via Ny finger lakes region. I'm going up for 3 days of work so have to take uniforms for them 3 days. Besides th required under clothes I'm thinkin a t-shirt a day and 2 pair of jeans will get it. Oh and very nice pics.

I have wondered for years why HD dont use oil coolers on thier bikes. It only makes sense to me. Shoot they had them on the old XR 750's, Triumph had them on thiers in the 60's and 70's. Victory has had them since they started. Its a terrible thing you got to spend $1000 or more to make it to where you can ride it without baking. The new Voyagers had some pretty big cooking issues too.

Here ya go $20 shipped. It is red but a can of spray paint works wonders. I have one mounted by my left foot up in the crash bars (cant even see it) and one I painted silver?chrome and is mounted in OEM spot on right passenger foot area.

Thanks for some info. Neither one of those does what I was hoping for. I'll look around the sites some more later and see if I can make heads or tails out of them. I need something you can plug in places along a route say 4-5 days out and have an idea what to expect. Didnt see that as an option on either site.

Well I was working on some preliminary stuff for my trip to Canada in a few weeks. So I thought I would look on my site I normaly use which is weather.com Well you use to put the places or zip for towns you were going thru and it time and it would ball park the weather. So say your going Jacksonville FL to Charlotte NC. You put what day and time your leaving and then a spot a couple hours up the road etc. It would tell you rain chance, temp etc. Well no more. Now they have "improved" it and its worthless as #$%S on a boar hog. It will put your route on a map, but it looks simular to google maps and puts todays info, not the day you want to travel. So what sites do you all use if any. Man there has to be something out there to give us an idea of what gear to pack.

I think the "shim" your talking about is a thin metal spring sort of piece. Its probably designed to take the rattle or vibration out of the pad/caliper when applying brakes. Simular to an anti-rattle spring on a car. TRW and a few others make some spray on stuff. Lay the pad contact face down on cardboard or something and spray the back, 2 or so light coats is better than trying to goop it on in one. I would do both pads.

If I knew a source and what kind of mike would work with the OEM 5 pin I might would look into building one for my shorty. I can find the connector and wire it up myself. At the price they want for the J&M rigs and the like I'm not going to put one on. Besides all the kits I have seen you have to wear the ear pockets on your shorty, well heck if I have to do that I'll just run the 3/4 Bell.

Yup mine also. Warning though if you bump the IC volume up to high you start getting a loud "swhoosh" background noise from the mic's

The 4.0 was a pretty bullit proof unit. Probably why you cant get them anymore. With all the drive shafts and axle shafts make sure the cv and universals dont make sounds. Front cv boots on 4wd are bad about drying out and splitting, any FWD car is for that matter. Sounds like she got 4wd beacaus thats the way it came. Pretty much same resaon my wife has 4wd in her Durango. I sure wouldnt have ordered it that way but at the price we got it for couldnt pass up. If the brakes have been don that often it could just be the way she drove it. Look at the rubber brake pedal pad. Is it all worn off on the left side? some left foot brakers are bad about riding the brakes. I left foot brake and you cant tell by the pedal and I get good milage out of the brakes. I'm a coaster to the stop light though, the wife not so much. Good luck, if the trans fluid looks clean and not rurnt and dont stink to high heaven and the dip stick still looks like metal and not like its been checking carmels in a pot you should be OK.

I made an adapter up so I could run a earbud headset with any helmet. I just slaved it in and wire tied it along the standard 5 pin cable. I like your deal there for the half helmet. I wear mine most of the time when riding solo. Thus the reaason for the ear bud cable. Longer rides I like to wear ear plugs and now I can hear the music better than any of the helmet speaker kits. I bought a pair of Sony Xplosives ear buds with bass something or another. They sound awsome, and if you wear them with the intercomm headset you can hear the passenger better. Give us GI's some time and ingunitive ideas we can come up with a fix. Mostly thats because Uncle Sam never paids us that well and we had to get by.

A trick I found if you wera glasses and the ear pieces fit to tightly at the bows is, put helmet on and put your glasses on. Then in a mirror take a sharpie and mark rite where the glasses and ear pieces meet. Mark it, then take a simple tie wrap and put it around the foam ear piece and compress it untill your glasses fit without the helmet moving them around. The tie wrap makes a void so when the helmet gets buffiting its not making your glasses go all over.

I lowered the forks in the tripple tree. For me it made it to where my feet can be flat and actually if I need to I can push backwards say out a parking spot. Its a free mod just takes some time and effort. If you like it fine, if you dont you dont have a couple hundred invested either.

:cool10:Got my e-mail today. Yuumy

A good friend of mine told me once "behind every good train wreck is an engineer". So theres food for thought. The couple of guys I have had ocasion to work with or run across that engineering degrees cant hardley change thier own oil. 10-4 on the aircraft guys. Was aircraft maint for 20 yr in USAF on Locheed aircraft. Some of the stuff you look at and think "hell Ray Charles could have figured out a better way"

If a throttle body system was used you would probably have better chance. The TB would go in just where the carbs do. I would think there is probably a system out there. Heck just get a set up off a V-max with it.
