Wow - your collision is higher than what I pay for full coverage at higher levels. I went through AAA in Charlotte and I think I pay about $560. My address is in Concord. I listed as less than 6K miles per year and that hasn't been a problem as I don't ride it every day and is not my primary...

I'm with CC on this one - believe me, I tried to drill out the one I snapped off. It didn't work. I've used plenty of blue loctite putting together my Cobra. The only place I used RED was on the bolts that hold the universal joints on the steering shaft. I've never had a problem taking any...

I've heard of the error code 30 on the tip over also, but I didn't get it on my light get-off this past spring.

Yep. My '07 does it between 2400-3000 rpm all the time. I agree, when I rev it up past that, no problems - it smooths right out. It's somewhat irritating as it creates a vibration in the grips but I just try to ignore it. As far as DOWNSHIFTING, if I keep it in first up to 6K rpm just so I...

Boy, I can tell you if you snap off an easy-out in the screw it is just about a lost cause! The hardened steal of an easy-out is H-A-R-D! I did this on a bolt I was trying to remove a couple of years ago and I never did get the bolt out after that. I had to buy a new assembly (for the curious...

I have used Harbour Freight plenty of times - you just have to be selective on what you buy. I wouldn't buy a precision measuring tool such as a torque wrench, but I would buy box wrenches and pliers from 'em. Sorry about the bolt, but it sounds like you're on your way to getting it fixed. I...

Hey M - You must be the '07 owner I've seen in Harrisburg. I live about 7 miles outside Harrisburg and go through town occasionally. What shop did you go to - to get PR2's? Herkypilot

I bought a Garmin 260W for my wife back during the summer. She likes it just fine. I pd about $260 back then, but I think you can find it for about $200 now.

Thanks for the replies. John, the Gen II's seem to be designed a bit different. I wanted to get an idea as to whether the shape of the seat provided more support to prevent sliding forward. Of course, it really could be because we ride with sheepskin covers on...I may try removing hers and...

I recently purchased the front sargent seat for my Gen II and I'm pretty happy with it. My wife went on a ride with me last week for about 350 miles and she only likes to ride with the top box on to provide a back rest. The stock rear seat causes her to continually slide forward. My question...

I have a Zumo 550 and a Garmin Nuvi 260W. Both are very good GPS's. I find them to be very intuitive to use - almost no manual reading required. If your wife used a Nuvi, she knows how to use a Zumo as the menus are very similar short the motorcyle specific items such as the gas gauge which...

I've got the stock cable and seems to work fine with vol adjust on the RD. No problems. Herkypilot

Feedback posted - Thanks.

Wayne and his wife were the last one's I talked to from the group before heading out Sunday morning. Wayne handed me his camera and I took a picture of him and his wife before they headed out. Sorry to hear about this unfortunate accident. I hope you both heal quickly. Herkypilot

We just blew this thread out of the water... ...back on topic: No I have not heard of "stepped up" enforcement down here in NC. Herkypilot
