  1. Just remember towers are rated for load, so make sure the tower will support what you put on it. I have seen towers come down from adding one more antenna, and they don't bend pretty. The pre amp+ amp vs stacking with a combiner is all the way you look at it. When the Govt changed to digital they took snow away. You either get a signal or you don't , the stacking you should use the same antenna above / below each other, cable length between antennas the same length into the combiner. It's not right or wrong but what works for you. Actually your picture will be true hi def vs cable or dish.
  2. Cooler rack and cooler with a lock. locks only keep the honest folks out, like the window on a car, not much separating you from being separated from your possessions. I like the trailer myself just remember it's back there.
  3. They work among us, we have those that probably shouldn't be doing a job and make the rest look bad. I have had arguments with LEO's before where they stop and mis cite you the law, WRONG. I would ask to see their traffic law book and usually comment something like when did they change that . . . and I have gone to a chief when they were young and stupid. As a supervisor I will tell you that people are reluctant to complain and it's the only way to weed out the problem children. You must take a soft but assertive approach and I go evidence in hand. I don't take an arguing approach but a curiosity approach, do you have your book? I'd like to see that please. The officer should have called in the stop and the dispatch should have cad'd the call and disposition. As an officer I have a few other approaches but I won't throw them out here other than to tell you he was absolutely wrong and is misguided.
  4. What about tattoo tuesday??
  5. All should require an hdtv or an analog tv with anhdtv converter. If u r deep fringe you can stack antennas, spaced vertically the same distance as the widest elements. Must be aimed exactly the same and use a combiner. Make sure to bond the tower
  6. He is absolutely wrong, I was a LEO in the state of Illinois for 30 years. I would suggest a conversation with his supervisor. U don't need a thing as long as the windshield is above eye level while seated upright and in the "normal" riding position. Next all eyeglasses are made with shatter resistant glass, thats a law, even sun glasses, so he has a burden of proof that you were sold illegal lenses. Next time I suggest you ask to see his ILCS chapter 625 5/ vehicle code, so he can point it out to you. (625 ILCS 5/11-1404) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-1404) Sec. 11-1404. Special equipment for persons riding motorcycles, motor driven cycles or mopeds. (a) The operator of a motorcycle, motor driven cycle or moped and every passenger thereon shall be protected by glasses, goggles or a transparent shield. (b) For the purposes of this Section, glasses, goggles, and transparent shields are defined as follows: "Glasses" means ordinary eye pieces such as spectacles or sunglasses worn before the eye, made of shatter-resistant material. Shatter-resistant material, as used in this Section, means material so manufactured, fabricated, or created that it substantially prevents shattering or flying when struck or broken. "Goggles" means a device worn before the eyes, the predominant function of which is protecting the eyes without obstructing peripheral vision. Goggles shall provide protection from the front and sides, and may or may not form a complete seal with the face. "Transparent shield" means a windshield attached to the front of a motorcycle that extends above the eyes when an operator is seated in the normal, upright riding position, made of shatter-resistant material, or a shatter-resistant protective face shield that covers the wearer's eyes and face at least to a point approximately to the tip of the nose. © Contact lenses are not acceptable eye protection devices. (Source: P.A. 96-554, eff. 1-1-10.)
  7. Depends how far you are from transmitters? are you on a high point or in a valley? line of sight or are hills, trees in the way Are the transmitters all in the same or similar direction?
  8. Holy high prices batman, come to Illinois and steal one
  9. change the oil, filter and crush washer each change, every 3000
  10. metal rescue will clean inside, pull petcock and sender then reline it with an epoxy like kreem, allow to dry. You will find many more years of riding left in her.
  11. at first I thought you were going to show us you moved the trunk back an inch
  12. I would still bond it on the surface, cheap protection (for your house and people) If it took a direct strike it may actually smoke the bonding wire, if you can see it you can fix it for the next event. I personally would not rely on something I could not visually inspect and repair.
  13. gotta love this place
  14. any good truck stop will probably have a basic one for about 20.00, and probably have any parts you need also, I just set the swr on my bike and needed to trim the factory antenna down.
  15. Oh I had a maxim , awesome bike. You will love this bike once you get her going strong
  16. always start simple and work backwards, I was told never jump them from a running car
  17. U will be pleasantly surprised with this bike, 89 is one of my fav years. is it a venture or venture royale?? and pictures please
  18. I would say after 24 hrs spray sealer, 14 days of rest. 1 copper grounding rod for each leg, as close as you can get it to the leg, and bonded with heavy minimum 6awg cable to each.
  19. Im in on replacing the capacitor. I put a whole house serge suppressor in, it takes 2 50a breakers and connects to your main panel. If you are hit with a serge it is supposed to protect the house.
  20. I'm in the biggest group, and thats probably true in more ways than one
  21. I always find a small ditch or elevated lot and drop the ramp so it's as close to level as possible. Once you find a good spot it is so easy you will do it again.
  22. Check to see when it was put in service, may have warranty left
