  1. My rear tire on my HD had a slow leak found a nail in the tire. The tire has 3000 miles on it, brought a rope style patch kit for a radial tire but when I read the directions it said for tenporary use only. Called a dealer and was told that they do fix tires because of liability. Has anyone had any luck pluggin a tire. What works best? Thanks, Ron
  2. Hobi my bike has had that mod for about 4 yrs. Got the idea from Vern's wife when we were at West Coast Bash in Montrose.
  3. when I first brought my bb i was going to install yosi's but I was running 130 mph from Tao's to walensenburg and there were people working in their front yard as i went past they never looked up. I like the stealthness of the stock pipes.
  4. My record's show that I replaced the oem tires FRT 7104mi R 6591mi with pilot roads replaced the rear at 6127mi frt at 8593mi with roads again replaced the rear tire at 3854mi but it looked like it could go 500 more miles but i was planning to go to oregon to the west coast bash and did want to run out of tire like i did the year before running with those crazies . the frt went 5982 mi and also replaced it early. I went with pr2's and have about 3000 mi on them and they look great. I hate buying tires so I buy for max mileage using the info from the people on this forum. Unless something better comes along I'm happy with the pr2's. Ron
  5. My 1098 is more comfortable than you would think. In fact, I would rate it up there with my old XX. I added Gilles rearsets to get a bit more leg room and a Sargent seat, but those are the only confort mods I've made. You might want to try one before you write it off. Hey Jim, Thanks for the feedback on the 1098, I haven't given up on it. I just want to get more info from 1098 owners before I buy one. When I bought my bb , it was not very comfortable. But thanks to this forum I was able to tweak the bike and have been happy with it.
  6. I have been thinking about buying a 1098s and was going to take a second look at one sat. But from what i have been reading about them they r very uncomfortable and many owners called them a torture rack.
  7. I like the hugger on vern's bird, don't remember if it's comes with a chainguard.
  8. yeah nick, If you can live with the cosmetics it's a nice Bird with only 5000 miles. The reason I wanted to ride it was because the owner told me that the guy he brought it from used it as a track bike.
  9. Yeah I looked at it, The roads were too icy to drive it. The front rim has a bad dent in it, rs mirror housing has roadrash and the large rs cowel has roadrash. He told me he went down at about 25 mph. Somebody punched out the baffles on the mufflers louder then stock. The engine was cold and it started right up, ran fine has 5700 miles on odometer. Checked on parts to replace the stuff that was damaged was 1300-1400 $ If you can live with the bent rim take off about 650.00. I was thinking about giving him 1800-2200 max but only after driving it. But I need another bird like a hole in the head. So if someone wants it go for it. I was hoping I could find the parts used then that would really work! Ron
  10. Hey guys need titanium rs lower cowel, rs mirror, and front wheel. Ron
  11. Going to look at it sat morning, I need another bird like a hole in the head. Was planning to buy a KLR 650 this summer BUT what if i change the handlebars to street fighters style and put on off road tires on this bird do u think it would make a good dualsport ?
  12. I sent the seller a email with my cel# told him I live in CO and wanted to see it. We'll see what happens, thanks for the post! Ron
  13. I added Buell footpegs and beadrider cover, it helped me alot. Remember if you raise your butt off the seat you are farther away from the handlebars. I raised the handlebars so that they are 1/4" above the tubes also changed the angle on the bars so at steering lock the grip barely touches the tank. I find that a very comfortable postion for my 6' 2" body. Ibprouphren for long rides helps. The part # for the Buell pegs can be found if you search this site under Buell pegs. There alot of guys using Dave's lowering brackets which you can find if you search this site. Hope this info helps. Ron
  14. I use old bedsheets to cover my bikes in the garage, works great!
