thanks Bob im about to tackle this beast of a job so i can scuff the tire before the rain gets here supose to get up to 74 tonight which only means cold rain behind it and cold day tomorrow -
is the one not asked so here goes do i have to take the exhaust pipes off of both sides to get the wheel off to change the tire also i dont have my tire spoons any more they seem to have grown legs over the last year but i really need to get this tire changed as i have been riding on a bald tire for the last month i have a new one but took me 6 months to save up for it so i cant afford to have a shop do it and i really need to learn this stuff any suggestions and helpfull tips would be greatly appriciated and Squidly i would have came out to tx if i would have trusted the tire but i just didnt feel comfortable with it and i have only put 150 miles on it since i posted about tire size and you couldnt drive a needle in during that 150 miles too:confused24:

here is the other side this is a cluster i bought in GA last October before my accident on the 99 RSTD im just now getting around to breaking it down i have led on the brake lights and running lights so i figured i would do the jumpers on this one so it would be a quick swap out to shut off the warning light but now im getting worried about it i don't know if it works and don't want to waste my time on it if it doesn't work especially after a long grueling day of work looking for a job which i was not successful at today but tomorrow looks promising -

KIC he cant do that the person who buys it would be disappointed and since its a 2nd gen with no value i will help you out Frankc and take it off your hands for nothing yep i wont charge you a dime and ill collect for the gas and trailer rental when i get there :confused24: :rotf: on a serious note 7500 to 8000 sounds like a fair deal and good luck on selling it with the riding season coming to an end in your neck of the woods just a thought you might want to hold on to it until next season when every one wants to ride and no one want to pay dealer i mean steel-er prices
