I guess HD was getting tired of being shamed by the VMax and decided if you can't beat'em, join em. Although they have maintained the stupid flying C riding position through the use of forward controls.

Long story short: Bike has been stored wet for the last year (seafoam and StaBil with fresh gas). When started, the bike starts and will idle on the choke as long as I keep the RPM above about 1500. Below that, it stalls out. Regardless of the choke setting or RPM if I so much as touch the...

I about spit my coffee all over my keyboard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEHMZZdSjCg

Where the heck is the procedure for setting the A/F screw positions? I know that a dyno or an A/F meter is the best way, however I thought I recall a procedure to get you close for those without access to these resources. Since waking the bike up after it's long winter nap I have had a...

So since the beginning of this season I have had this annoying backfire on decel. I figured that after the winter my carbs needed either some running time (haven't had much of that) or the shotgun/peashooter (haven't had much time for that either). Well, yesterday I finally got some down time...

Anybody know of a maufacturer of a low backrest for the Gen 1? I really don't like the tall "syssy bar" look of the OEM Gen 1 rest but could tolerate something similar to the one they make for the Gen 2

Walking along the street of Lambertville, NJ this weekend enjoying the Shad Fest attractions, and up the street I heard a rumble that sounded soooooo much better than the annoying "potato-potato" of the scores of harleys that were passing by. Lo and behold, up the street cruises a new Ducati...

Seems like the weather has been consistently crappy this spring. Feels like it rains 2 on, 1 off all the time. Come on mother nature....cut us riders a break and how about a few warm, sunny Saturdays?

There will be a total lunar eclipse tonight between 1:32 and 3:35am (EST) tonight. This might actually be worth staying up or getting up early for. http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-12/total-lunar-eclipse-visible-north-america-tonight

There is a thread going on in the suspension forum dealing with the cause of the dreaded weave and or wobble that the VMax seems to be prone to. I am hoping to get some form of consensus from the guys running radial rims as to whether or not they have ever experienced a weave or wobble at...

Well, after dealing with my divorce I was also saddled with the responsibility of selling the last piece of communal property (the house). After having the house on the market for over a year, I finally got a reasonable offer :eusa_dance:. I am signing the papers on Friday and from that point...

Working on trying to get my carbs sync'd and am seeing some odd behavior. I built a 4 port synchronizer using clear vinyl tubing and ATF (Like this one) What I am seeing is that after getting everything balanced (all carbs within about 1" of each other), I will run the RPMs up to about 4K...

Why is it that they seem to all have this entitlement complex that their little group of 5 or 10 riders owns the entire F'in road. Just because you are wearing your favorite bicycle superstar jersey and spandex shorts does not mean that you are in the peloton of the Tour de France. If you...

Looking for the most effective means to damp out the vibrations in my bar. Since the installation of the solid motor mounts, when I am crusing on the highway the vibration is not uncomfortable....yet (haven't done any long rides) I have already installed the ISO grips, however I want to...

Finally after 2 months my Max is back together and in running condition. List of completed upgrades: Solid Motor Mounts Progressive Springs (1" drop) + Ricor Intimidators Progressive 440 shocks Marks 4-2 exhaust EBC HH pads all the way around Wavy rotors all the way around Galfer SS...

I am trying to reassemble my rear brake after installing the new wavy disk. Just getting back to it after this last incident (Rotor bolt fiasco) Possibly I am just brain dead today (it's been a pretty rough week) but I can't seem to get this to work. I have one of Jedi's brake adapters...

New Brake Rotors..... So with new wavy rotors in hand (2 fronts, 1 rear), I head out to the garage to spend the evening putting them on and bleeding out my new Galfter SS lines.:eusa_dance: Grab my trusty impact wrench, 6mm impact hex driver and start to remove the rear brake rotor...
