  1. got a harbor freight, I followed the suggestions in the thread and it is awesome, I did also add a few LED's in the rear
  2. other option is grab it at the rear , make a harness with male and female bullet connectors, unplug the factory and plug in the middle, no splicing. Downside is running a wire loom but they make those in pretty colors. I always solder and heat shrink.
  3. You can also try a harley dealer, craigslist . . . lots of them out there and almost none of them keep stock pipes
  4. If the government can regulate the regulation to require the producers add products that don't exist and then fine the manufacturers who just pass the cost along to end users then modify it so it exempts foreign companies who contribute to their campaigns and then blame it on the oil companies and ignore the unintended consequences of it damaging our goods , being worse for the environment and more costly. At some point "we the people" will realize we need to stand up and make some constitutional changes to the power that we give to the government that is currently broken. So how hard would it be to convert our scoots to nat gas??
  5. I followed the thread and mine pulls awesome, very nice for the money
  6. happy bd
  7. It's life's reminder for us to enjoy our time, time is limited. We need to take the time to do the things on your bucket list today with your friends and family, while we have them and they have us. Follow your heart and live well.
  8. Ok totally awesome
  9. break out the popcorn, oil question to follow :rotf:
  10. Consider adding padding to the seat, a whole lot cheaper alternative.
  11. I can say that on our squad cars, we were not allowed to drive at highway speed with any plugs, they were a temp get her to the station and deadline the car. They would pull the tire off the rim and patch from the inside so we could run again. I never drove my bike like a squad but would only use a plug to get me to a place I could properly patch the tire. I do think plugs have their place, to get me off the side of the road. My luck will be it will happen in the middle of no where at 3:00am in a storm.
  12. can't se it at work or cell . . .
  13. A handicapped spot is 16' wide ( if it's van accessable ) or 14' wide for car access, this includes the parking lane and the lined out area for access. There are portions that are not included as exclusion areas in those spots and this is especially true if it's in angled parking, that said I won't park next to a handicapped space. The business owner is required to have one in 25 spaces marked handicapped and those need to be at the nearset point of handicapped access. The property owner has no right to give permission or block the access to that spot. The constitution givith and the elected officials taketh away.
  14. once you change the fluids, tires, run some sea foam through the fuel system and then change filter and plugs there a couple things that help the rideability, while they are not necessary they are very helpful, links are here and this is the best $12.00 you will ever spend: Leveling links: You can make these yourself but they are very helpful with the handling Bars, the stock bars are narrow and forward changing to Flanders or RSTD bars are again a huge improvement in the ride and handling not to mention remove the back pinch you might get on a long ride. trunk, move that puppy back an inch, this helps the back seat passenger. It's all preference and a lot of different riders here have great tips
  15. My brother buys old high end stuff , usually for very low, and refurbishes it. I know he does a lot of refoaming speakers, replacing capacitors... to get them back in spec's then resells. A lot of people like hearing vinyl on a good system, he said that cd's don't even compare. He's a musician and really gets into the quality of the music, I don't have his ear and cd's sound fine to me.
  16. Mombo sauce, very good stuff
  17. Do you have the artwork and can we see it, I like the idea
  18. with a bot
  19. I have a guy that races and that was almost what he suggested, he said make a wide U from angle for the front tire, a stabelizer from a cross piece that connects up to the frame of the bike and a small pice of U to set the rear tire in and bungie the tires down. I know that have bike races here every year and I saw a guy that pulls a trailer behing a gw that holds 3 race bikes and gear. Now my tandem probably weighs what the three race bikes weigh.
  20. Jeff, how many years off are you from that mark?? I have never been, friends who have said they would never return but do prefer to go a few weeks before. I would like to kick that off my bucket list and a group would be much better. . .
  21. Won't work, we have a tandem bike, I think I need try set it on top and run it front to back centered. I have seen someone that has a bike rack on top a tag along, lookin for pictures or plans or ideas. . .
  22. Fubar, I think you can clearly see this site is worth the $12.00 a year, let us know what you find. . .
  23. They will be under the back seat, must remove two 10mm bolts from under front seat, lift up on front and take off. Two bolts in front of rear seat, it will lift up and off. You will see the wires under the seat. If you bought these new I am guessing something on the bike is loose or unplugged. If you bought them used I would find another venture, I think Kaw and Honda use the same plug we use, those xpensive bikes use an 8 pin. Do yourself a favor, when you inspect these connectors put some dilithium grease around the outside lip of the connector ( not on the pins, this is non conductive and will help prevent moisture and corrosion issues) . If you find a green pin it's likely your issue.
  24. Has anyone made a rack to carry your bicycle on the top of a tag along or trailer?? Any pictures??
  25. Farm & Fleet and many truck stops have them also
