  1. Check out Slip Streamer and Clearview. Both will make custom dimensions from the standard dimensions if requested. I got mine through Clear view and found them excellent to deal with. Even when there was a slight barely noticeable defect in the windshield they were extremely good about sending me another one. The defect was so slight That I would have ignored except that it happen to be right in my sight line.

  2. Just strip the paint off They are all black underneath....
  3. This is true He did stay in contact with the best of us ............During his sabbatical from the site.
  4. Very sweat looking bike. What happened to the cavalcade?
  5. Up here its deer season every day,,,,,,,would you grab me a beer please deer......
  6. Most people settle for a garage sale ......But Nooo you had to go one better didn't you.
  7. Now that you mention it
  8. Just saying a NAP is not good enough. For an experienced napper such as yourself that may be all the info that is required but there are a lot of newbies on here and they may require more in depth detail about proper napping or they may mess it up.
  9. If its electronic I would start with checking the road speed sensor for loose or faulty connections. Disconnect the sensor and check resistance across the wires. Most two wire sensors read between 800 and 1800 ohms depending on make You may find the proper number in the spec section of the shop manual. Next with the meter still hooked up but set to AC volts or AC milli volts (the sensor produces an AC voltage signal) slowly start rotating the wheel increasing the speed You should see a steady and smooth climb in voltage as the wheel speeds up and a steady reading if you spin the wheel at a fixed speed. If this all checks out check all connections from sensor to control module to gauge. Last try another gauge if you can get your hands on one. If its a Mechanical gauge check your speedo cable. If its dry or starting to fray it can spin in an erratic manner causing the gauge to jump all over the place. If it checks out OK and is only dry re-lube it and retest the speedo. If it still acts up try another speedo head. If its pretty much the end of the ridding season park the bike and maybe over the winter the issue will disappear.
  10. Welcome back to the site Ray.
  11. Don't get that but have had repeated thumping sensation coming from the back. Sometimes I feel it in my back and other times in my helmet. I assume it is suspension related since it only occurs while riding two up .
  12. This is like the one I have only I bought mine out of the clearance section at Canadian tire.
  13. Is that what makes the difference between yellow corn and white corn
  14. Unless of course you planned on repainting the bike anyway and needed to strip off the existing paint. Just say'n BTW back bleeding with a syringe or pressure bottle is my 1st choice as well. Have tried using a washer pump like I use on the big rigs but it is way too fast and turns the open master into a mini fountain. Pretty but messy
  15. Take a length about 18 to 24 inches of rubber heater hose or similar. Put an ear plug in one ear and hold one end of the hose to your other ear. Move the other end around the engine listening to see if you can pinpoint were the sound is coming from.
  16. You just never know and those are the type of things that worry most whether in a car or on a bike. A friend of my parents lost their son, who I had known since I was a small boy, this summer when a transport truck going east on the 403 suddenly shot across a twenty or so foot grass ditch crossed the west bound side and went up the opposite bank. In doing so he took my friend and his car who was traveling on the west bound side, up the bank with him and instantly killed him.
  17. Very Nice!
  18. Welcome back old friend.
  19. You were there so your not wrong that was prior to getting on the ferry at Tobermory ON on our way home from Galena IL
  20. $2.00 bicycle bottle holder with 16 oz bottle also holds JoMoe and JoMoe XL mugs
  21. If you got a DadBod then you don't need the extra layer......You already gots one ........
  22. So I assume the foot is doing well.
