    what brand is it ? the adda room just turns the awning into a room , do's it have any slidouts ? is the main bed up front and the bunks in back ? if it has a dressing room , it sounds like someone has removed the bunkbeds , need more info , i am in the camper bus. and can tell you about what it is worth , or you can google the make , model and year and see what they are selling for .

    Yep , the company i work for just put one in our 3/4 ford truck , it is ok but to get that 3 year warranty you have to install new rad. , oil pump and i forget what else , my mech said to buy all the stuff the warranty calls for costs as much as the motor it is cheaper than a Jasper motor and it only took a week to get in .

    the best 85 mph i have ever done on this bike , remember i said i raised the front and dropped the back ? i thought the weave was caused by the angle of the wind shield or fairing because it did not do it when 2 up , if somebody would try it and see if it works for them than we know what is wrong . what i did is air the front to the max and drop the rear down to 18 ilbs .

    yours install is better than mine , i did not put the helmet locks back , i cheated , Amazing Goop - 6.97 , a trick Wildhair showed me . to wire tail , turn , brake , you can do it 2 ways , one , the way Ponch and i did is buy 2 diedos from your local RV store , they are the type that has 2 inputs and 1 output , put 1 wire to 1 input from the turn sig. of bike and to the other input put the brake wire from the bike , from the outside of diedo run a wire to the sig. of lite bar do same to the other side . the 2nd way is just buy a hoppy 5-4 adpt. and wire the 5 wires into your bike and 4 wire to the lite bar , if all this is as clear as mud ask Ponch , he is pretty good at telling you how . this is the bar i used http://www.chromeglow.com/catalog.asp?prodid=561931&showprevnext

    for the last 2 days i have been trying something , i aired the front to max 21 lbs and dropped the rear to 21 the 1st day than today i dropped the rear to 18lbs and it helped , i did 10 miles at 78 on the speedo and had very little weave , and i would like the thank the yellow mustage because when i started slowing down to the speed limit coming around a long sweep that black and white was just pulling over the mustage !

    for us 1st gens to install the lite bar just remove the helmet locks and attach the lite bar in its place , i have spent almost 30 bucks installing brake lites storbes and they last about 6 months then i have to buy new ones so i am going to try his 1157 flashing bulbs and see how they work , i will replace both tail lite bulbs with them and install a tag lite to keep the consul from flashing , blue hair old lady:backinmyday: season is comming soon and i got to be ready . and for us who are or use tobe ebay sellers , more power to anybody that sells on ebay , its almost as much fun as doing group buys , :rotfl:
