I used a can of Rustolium truck bed liner spray purchased from the local Lowes improvement store. Taped the area I wanted to paint, sanded with 600 grit sandpaper, primed, and painted. Put about 5 coats of paint on them. I think they turned out real nice and plan on doing more parts during...

Been getting tired of scuffing the tops of the sidecases when getting on and off the bike so I decided to do a little paint work. I decided to try some of that spray on truckbed liner on the tops of the cases and am pleased with the results. Didn't take to long to do and have decided this...

I agree with getting distance between them. I had another incident in Idaho north of Cour d' Alene with a couple riding 2 up on (again) harley's. Virtually the same senario passed them and one of the 2 just had to show his bitch on the back that he had a bad ass bike. He passed me doing about...

+1 on your post. I am allways wondering if the riders you come up on even have a clue that you are there. I have on several ocassions followed the cruiser groups when they are out on a great road just putting along looking all cool on their bikes(scarey as hell) riding side by side like the...

No as you all say gay paint job here. Just your everyday 05 galaxy blue witha yamaha top case. I will be on the lookout for you. Probably be going thru the Salt Lake area in the morning on wednesday. Going to try to get to Mountain Home Idaho and stay at the KOA campground.

If you have any idea of when you will be in the Ogden area on Wednesday let me know. I am heading that way from Denver and will possibly be cutting across Utah into nevada and heading north on Hwy225 out of Elko to mountain Home Idaho . On Google Maps it looks like an interesting ride.

Looks like my riding partner may have to bail on WFO. Looking for anyone heading to Moscow via Denver way. Possibly leaving on the morning of the 28th heading northwest thru Vernal Utah then to Boise and Moscow. Anyone heading that way let me know and we can hook up. I dont have a room in...

I have a quick question concerning the rear tail light bulb. The local dealer wants $5.00 for 1 replacement bulb. I think that is a total ripoff. Does anyone know what replacement bulb will work? I found a 12.8volt 8w/26w bulb. Will that bulb work or will it cause any sort of problems later...

Since it is an 08 it should be under warranty. Take the bike into your dealers service department and tell them what is wrong and they should be able to fix it. The bike should go all the way to the fke red line of 9,000rpm without any problems. Trust me I know this since my 05 has hit the...

I am 6'4" and around 270. I use First Gear rain gear with no problems. I can ride in a torrentual downpour and stay dry.

Why the hell would you get upset over that. have some fun with the dude. I had a similar thing happen to me when I was riding my roadstar silverado. I stopped at a gas station and a guy pulled in and asked if the red bike was mine. I said yes and he said it was the most beautiful harley he...

I usually average around 47 to 49mpg. It all depends on how much you flex the right wrist If you know what I mean
