All of the above work but anymore when I get into it I have to go to a Dr and get a shot of some kind. Seems that each time I had a reaction over the years the rash was worse than the time before.

I've heard this one is pretty good http://www.volocars.com/#sthash.2c02PvYe.dpbs if you are in Chicago you are not too far from Milwaukee and the Harley Museum

My Uclear and my old Chatterbox lasted all day using Pandora and GPS through my phone and the occasional intercom. We just have the habit of bringing our helmets to the hotel room and plugging them in. We elected this after having corded comms and forgetting on occasion to unplug, especially after a long ride. Not disaggreeing, Don, just sharing what works best for us.

@syscrusher - that was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the thorough response!

No, I plan to hang on to it. I consider it part of the bike and may use it at some point in the future.

We will have a week to use up.

My wife and I are looking for advice on sights to see for a non-bike vacation. She will be in Colorado Springs for business the week of Aug 31 and I will join her Sept 4. We plan to rent a car and see whatever we can fit into a one week time period. We are are no longer into extreme hiking but when we do a vacation we are on the go and trying to see as much as possible so we tend to prefer scenic and historical sights. Since she will be in Colorado Springs we will start out from there and will end up in Denver where are flights are in/out. thanks in advance for any tips/help

I went with the Uclear brand. We love them. No boom mic or wired mic since they are built into the speakers

As I recall, my new guards came with rubber spacers. As you mentioned they were a rubber hose sliced lengthwise

I too, was using plastic mounts and just added a Ram. Wish I had done it years ago.

yes - that was solodadof2 referenced above

I believe my Wolo air horn was $35.00 at O Reilley Auto Parts. It was a couple bucks cheaper the Harbor Freight. You can order a stainless mounting bracket from member carbonOne. He also has a plug n play wire harness with the needed relay. Both high quality and makes the install very easy and fast.

There is at least one write up by another member who dissected several filters and determined their motorcycle filter was inferior quality. I believe it was similar to the Yamaha factory filter in (lack of) quality. I don't recall the reason(s).

Sounds like fuel pump is dying

Can we put stickers on him?

If you don't have a floor jack for under the tire as mentioned above you use a 2x4 under it. All it takes is a momentary lift to take the weight off to slide the bolt out

There are some drops and twists in and out of the filter. I think gravity flow works best when avoiding the filter, as in an emergency repair to get you to where you get the pump fixed

The jack adapter is great but without it you can use some wood blocks or even hockey pucks. Just be careful of the sidestand switch

For anyone wanting to get away from the boom mic or any mic, you could switch to the Uclear brand communicators. Bought a set this winter and just installed and it works great. The mic pickups are built into the speakers

With Slowroll's extender it does drop the bar down and out so there is no need to touch the bar's mounting bolts when splitting the fairing. Had mine off a few times and it is very clear of it. I did have to add a longer rubber bumper to each my lower deflectors so they are contacting the fork. I've read on here that if you don't the supporting metal will fatigue and they will break off. I replaced one of the plexiglass attaching bolts with a longer (stainless) bolt and glued a rubber bumper from the hardware store to the end.

I use only Plexus

Here's a link to several options and sources for aftermarket pumps. The aircraft style you asked about is listed here and it, unlike the Mr Gasket, has the check valve. I used the Mr a Gasket because it was in stock at a local auto parts store and the other wasn't. Plus I always turn off my fuel when turn off the bike so hydro lock wasn't a concern http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?38549-Parts-Alternatives

I used Mr Gasket on my last bike for 30,000+ miles with no problems. Would probably try replacing the points first, now if I had one quit

I guy in our office rides a 2013 and he does not have the safety switch. I caught him taking off from one of our fuel stops last year with it down. Not sure of the model but it is one of the touring models
