I found the link to the old post with the speedo shop. I don't think I will go that route. To pull it out again, just to spend $100. Now the Healer.... I might do anyway. thanks again.

Thanks G. You would think there would be a better way, but oh well... It makes me glad I picked up the bike. To wait several more days to have a decal installed would probably piss me off.

The cluster decals for tach and speedo on my '05 started bubbling at the mounting screws under the glass. My YES bought me a new one. The dealer has had my bike for four days to replace it. I call today to see if it's done. They say yes, the cluster is installed, but the mileage zeroed and they...

Thanks for the recommendation. I bought the individual 14 and 19mm hex sockets yesterday morning from Mcmaster Carr. Delivered today, for $31.00 including tax and freight. American made. I have been using nuts on bolts welded together for my axle removal. Stupid, cheapass me. Quality stuff...

The date is JULY 15th, a Sunday. You can ride in on Saturday if you make arrangements for a bunk or a tent spot on the parade grounds.

I'm looking for clutch and brake levers for a 2005 abs. Anyone with them new spiffy Pazzo's want to sell your old ones? Thanks for your response. Bob

In the pic, the dash hides the reservoir sight glasses that I used for a refernce point. The purpose of the washers on the right side between the guard and lever bracket is to position the guard at the same level in reference to the reservoir glasses as the left side. It also positions the guard...

That was the point of my post. Does everyone live with the "slightly" uneven guard, or have people done something different, and just not posted about it? It was a very simple fix to make them even, so I don't know why anyone would want to "live unbothered" by it. This is after all, the same...

Alot of folks have done the hand guard farkle, but no one has mentioned what I ran into on my 05. I ordered the kit from Glen. It came with two pivot bolts the same length. The length is correct for the clutch side, but not for the brake side. The bolt runs out of threads 1/2 inch before the...

Thanks again. The jumpers are a good idea. I am going to make some and add to the on bike tools set.

Thanks Fencer. I think I'll run two leads also. Good help. I owe you one.

I wear the Ultra II Kevlar. Great gear. I ride in shorts and t shirt under them in the summer. Wayne is really easy to deal with. He met my wife and I for our measurements at a McDonalds in Escondido. I just washed mine and they came out like new. Mine is black, but is not hot in summer. I have...

Thanks for your responses Highlander and Fencer. What is your opinion about this: Positive and negative leads coming off the battery going to a set of connectors, then to the bluesea. Compatible with a tender, or as you said alligator clips for jump start when unplugged, and then plugged back in...

I am mounting a Bluesea box using the diagram posted here with the relay, inline fuse, etc. Thanks for the diagram. Am I able, with that setup, to connect a battery tender to charge through say the heated vest jack using a powerlet jack? Assuming ignition off(no relay power), will the battery...

I have the tankslapper tank and side cover kit. I did not buy the full kit. I wanted something that would come off when I need it to, and the full kit includes some of the 3m stuff that goes on once only. My ts kit is great. Best 20 dollar farkle since the vista cruise. My gear is kevlar, and...

I was unable to go, so I mailed my donations. I bought alot of stuff from Walmart,I got the address from Clair, who was in charge, and UPS'd two big boxes of new underwear, tshirts, jammies, and 2 dozen hats from my work. Clair wanted to make the point that the military DOES issue green goods to...

On my 05, the tankslapper has worked well for over a year. I bought the tank kit, plus paid I think $5.00 extra for the pieces that cover the silver side panels. I have kevlar gear, so I didn't want to scratch the finish. It has to be reapplied every so often, but for a little over twenty bucks...

I have a little over three thousand on my Stradas. Great, predictable tires. My only other experience is with the Metzlers that came stock on mine. They were ok too. I never had any trouble with them. They lasted 4k. My rear Strada is about done. The front has some wear left, but I will change...

That's an unusual attitude for you isn't it? You're normally a pretty nice guy. Don't get so worked up over a picture. I like to enjoy this forum in an open room, with my wife and son, and sometimes from work. It makes it difficult to do that if every other post has an avatar of a set of tits, a...

Often, a recall is announced by NTSA before the dealers have parts available. Sometimes before they know about the recall. I work for GM, and that is relatively common. The public has to be notified immediately or it seems like a "coverup" or something. So be prepared for possible limited parts...
