  1. Thoughts are with them, Kevhead let us know what the plans are.

  3. I did my own and not that hard. 1) pull your seat off, use a silver sharpie to mark some locations where the cover meets the bottom of the pan. Pull the staples and pull back, if you have a pillow top you have some plastic washers and strings with metal tabs. push down on the top , turn the tabs and slide back through. Save the washers for reassembly. 2) take the gel pad and put it where you sit. You want to cut a wedge out of the back about 3" wide by 3" deep. and discard. Mark it with a sharpie . 3) take a razor knife adjusted to the depth of the gel pad and cut down on the seat foam on the line you made. Now make some cuts the same depth about an inch inside that cut. Pulling the foam to the side undercut the foam. repeat until your gel pad sits inside, there will be a void where your back wedge was cut out. 4) take an aggressive file and narrow the front right and left sides of the saddle where your legs go down and reshape those. 5) with the gel pad in place , cut a wedge of the memory foam to fill the wedge, ok if it's thinner than gel. Cover the top with the memory foam. Make slits where strings go through pillow top and gel. 6) pull the string back through the top, a tire plug tool can help here if you push it from the pan to top make sure you have the washer in it. Turn the metal tab across the washer and go to next. 7) match up your marks for the cover and re-staple the cover to the pan with 1/2" stainless steel staples Items needed, silver sharpie 1/2 stainless steel staples gel pad 1/2" or 1" thick memory foam ( at walmart, kmart... you can find a seat with gel pad and memory foam for a chair usually about $20.00) you can pull that apart.
  4. I never had that problem, did you check the gears? other thought is that the magnet picked up a bolt or piece of metal and thats makin a noise. If thats the case it could be bad. Personally I would pull and reinspect it.
  5. I'd prefer to knock an arrow. I would just quarter it out , loins, hams and shoulders would fit in a cooler. Ice it down to cool and then repack with dry ice and should be fine for the return trip.
  6. Pictures please:worthless:
  7. My old truck, 03 Ram, has a cd and cassette player in it. I am looking to trade it in and the salesman, who I have bought my last 4 trucks from, is driving it. He said cool it has a cassette player. I'm like yeah but I have a new bike and it has one also. He proceeds to tell me that cassettes are making a comeback, he said it was in one of their trade magazines and he has seen articles in business magazines. Then he tells me that come in looking for a vehicle that has a cassette. Now thats just crazy I think to myself and so I come home and search cassette player and tons of hits on them making a slow comeback. Who knows we might be the new cool. . . http://www.details.com/blogs/daily-details/2012/10/rewind-the-cassette-makes-a-comeback.html
  8. nice, wish we could b there
  9. Ez mod, all my parts were at a loves truck stop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. My order showed up today, I also got a no mar tire tool today. Dyna beads ordered and should be here soon. Now it's been a few years since I changed one but at 45 a tire, to change and balance a take off I'll rock it out.
  11. I always had good luck with desoldering braid. Soaks the solder up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I thought U were the host again in 2046
  13. I have a bi xenon and it does not turn off, don't use high much. If you notice interference on your radio or cb run your ground to the battery and put some ferrite beads on your wires going into and out of the ballast.
  14. The powered one will isolate your bike from trailer . Zip it under the trunk and run the wires down.
  15. If you go to Cale four ennn eye aye , you must use synthetic blinker fluid, mize well order speed bleeders and be careful not to over phil them. Gary, since you are in Indiana I gotta ask, what color is your green plug?
  16. Ordered E3 from J&P today, free shipping and lists them as in stock. Other places I only found the rear.
  17. I always remove mine before putting on my helmet. The audiologist at the VA suggests wearing earplugs when on the bike, claims the wind noise even in a helmet is an issue.
  18. 1. Use your compressor to blow out dirt in the area of the plug. 2. Remove old plug 3. apply anti seize to new plugs 4. Use a piece of hose that will fit over the sparkplug to ease it to the hole and start the plug to finger tight or use your socket and hand only to insert it. If it binds stop and back it up start over. 5. Tighten to 13 ft lbs
  19. http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/charities.asp I like local where 100% goes to help folks, not 10% with 90% administrative costs. . .
  20. I have tried on their side, standing up . . . and on their side worked for old helmets but not the new. Maybe jam a different trunk on
  21. nice but reminds me of the scene in Betty White's off their rockers where a guy in a motorized chair asks for a push up a hill. The people struggle to get him to the top, once there guy in the chair turns around and screams down hill. . . just to ask another succre for help
  22. what kind of lights are you running? Get your signal wire run it to a relay, fused power from battery to relay to device. Clean install, the wire should be fused close to the battery and fused to the wire size or smaller for device.
  23. here and I thought you had a dozen buck tags
