  1. I'm trying to get the TCI connector plugs out. They wiggle but don't want to come out. There is a tab on top of the plug, is it a latch that needs to be lifted or do I just need to pull harder?
  2. J&S Jacks out of Wrightstown WI Got it last fall. You can pick the bike off the kick stand and back down.Very stable I can sit on the bike when lifted push it around the shop with no straps. Nice people to do business with. http://www.Jsjacks.com
  3. Thank you Spear......for keeping everyone here updated on my progress etc. and your phone calls lifted my spirits :clap2: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
  4. Thanks to the tips on this site, I made 3 successful changes to my bike. Ok sure , one was N oil change BUT the other two, more serious. First, I lowered the front end via posts here. At first getting the inner fairing off confounded me until I saw the obvious bolts. Then it came off easy. The forks, once revealed after removing triple tree and fork covers, not so. At first, they didn't budge. So , I found Freebirds post about how his stuck and he bounced on the floorboards. Well, weighing 160 didn't intimidate my forks and they still resisted. Soooo, I thought there are only two tools a man needs: duct tape and WD40, if it doesn't stick and it should and if it sticks and it shouldn't. WD40 down the forks did the trick, almost too good, plus bouncing onthe floorboards. My magic number of lowering became 1 7/16ths, just because that's where I finally got em even. Reassembled and it is MUCH nicer, flat footed in deck shoes, turns a LOT more easily at slow speeds. It does scrape sooner than before in corners, but not a lot and besides, it's fun! Then, it was time to change the rear tire! Removing was easier than expected, though scary. Again from tips here, with a socket extension and some mild banging, the axle came out nicely. Lifted the bike more, pulled on the tire from right side and it plunked out. Nit wanting to raise the bike too high, I lifted it just enough to pull the tire out from the side. Plus I have a hitch that would have required higher lifting to pull the tire out the back. Used Harbor Freight changer and me and a buddy had old tire off, new tire on in 30 minutes! Squeezed in some "ride-on" for puncture prevention and self balancing. Next, putting the tire back on the bike. After greasing the splines, I was ready to mount. Dang, that whel is heavy! Ended up using cardboard under the wheel to get some xtra height, lowered the bike a bit and snugged the gears into place. Twas "fun" doing this work myself and the bike is handling better to boot! Also nice to have two WWW tires on and not just one. Anyway, thanks guys for all your tips and advice. Cheers.
  5. How do those of you with the 25" Clearview windshield like them? My wife is getting too much wind and says it goes up under the helmet making her feel like she is being lifted off the bike. I know they are expensive. are they worth it?
