Yo, vetteman I thougt about doing the same with the batteries. But at night with the power cord you can run with the back light on. Ken

I looked in my service manual and it is a pain in the ass to screw around the the gauges but doable. What about the needles? How do you remove them to put the gauges down? Ken

Dave I dont think it makes a huge difference. I started on a Sunday and did not feel any ill effects. Good luck, Ken

Well just think Harry, you are in a league of your own! :grin: Ken

That I would like to see!! :grin: Ken

I have a Garmin Legend GPS and have been using batteries. Just bought a powercord for it and it has a cigar lighter end. Don't really care for that type of powercord. Any body else using something different? Anyone using adapters? Ken

Good point Harry. Thanks, Ken

Now that I have decided to go with the Avon's where is the best place to buy them? Ken

On the ride I did yesterday I got 38mpg. The guy riding with us on a 2002 Daytona 955, No shit 58mpg. Could not beleive it!! Ken

bar10dah, thanks for posting that link. That was one of the best I have read on oil yet. Looks like I stick with Mobil 1 :grin: Ken

Ok, what I do is have a couple of eggs with bacon in the morning. I usally take a hamburg or hot dog that I cooked the night before for lunch. Along with that I take a hard boiled egg or cheese sticks. Lots of water. Dinner is some sort of meat with a salad and blue cheese dressing. Somtimes I eat tunafish or eggsalad (w/o the bread). This works for me. I have lost over 20lbs now. Others here will have other suggestions. Good luck, Ken

Here too! Ken

Yes Miller welcome. Where in Upstate NY are you? Ken

Same here. As for price I had mine installed on my bike at Americade last year for I think $135 with the HeliBars adapter. Ken

Cant help you about the noise, but taking the faring off is no big deal. Just start un-screwing. I have had mine off more than once. Not too bad at all. Ken

Totaly agree. I have the throttlemeister and love it. Would but it again in a heart beat. Ken

Thank you very much for taking the time to post that. Very good reading. I was debateing those or the Avon's. I think I am still going to go with the Avon's. Ken

Ok that does it. These are the tires that I am going to before the Hoot in June. Was just waiting for a couple of you guys to post some more on them. Thanks, Ken

Thanks guys. I am going to just try some polish on them and see if that helps. Love the sound of these pipes though. Should have got a set a long time ago. Ken

I just bought (and mounted) a pair of Vance & Hines slip on's (SS2-R's) from Ebay. They do have some very minor scratches on them. Is there anyway to polish out these scratches? Can I use a fine steel wool? Ken

Very nice job Zen. Looks good. Ken

Ordered my RAM bracket for my GPS from these folks. Very nice customer service and fast shipping. I would order from them again. www.aerostich.com

Ok guys, just added my RAM mount for my GPS. What is the best way to wire my GPS into the bike? Ken

Carlos, I have to agree with you about this diet. When I started this in February I thought I would be on this for a little while and back to my old eating habits. Taco Bell, pasta, mounds of carbs where ever or what ever I ate. Well, I have went from 205 down to 188 (so far). I too stalled. Over this past weekend I blew it with carbs. Was at the fire house all weekend and you eat what is there or go hungry. I ate some pasta, noodles, potatoes, pizza, even had cookie's. You know, it was ok but I thought it would have tasted better. Monday went right back to my low carb diet. And I think my eating habits have changed for good. This has become way of life for me now. Would like to shed a few more pounds, but I think that will come when our new weight room is open at the fire house. I am not sure who started this diet post on the first fourm. But my hat is off to you. This is the first one that I have ever stuck with and I feel great. Ken

My biggest fear is having a cage run up my ass. I am useing stock turnsignals so I think those can be seen pretty good. But would like to do somthing with the brake like to make it more noticeable. This one was on Ebay but did not know anything about them. Anybody have one or seen one? How about anyother ideas? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...2409542461&rd=1 Ken
