Be sure and watch the video on todays Newsfeed. About 17 minutes long (one lap). It is scary as hell. I almost got dizzy a couple places. As everyone knows, those guys are crazy....:worthy:
Well, looks like my Odyssey battery finally died. It has a build date of 12/04 so it lasted over 9 years. Trying to charge it right now but have my doubts it will take.
As much as I like the battery, I need to find something less expensive but still maintenance-free. It is just too much of a...
As in title, for those of you looking for a Dyna for the early bikes.

I have the 1.0 Race Tech front springs and they are just too stiff for my weight. According to the Race Tech website, I should have the .90 rated springs. Part of the problem is I have lost 37 pounds (187 to 150) but I think the 1.0 was probably too heavy even for my previous weight.
So...
Just got a text from a friend that has a 2010 Max. Said that this is last year of production. Being replaced by the new triple... Anyone else hear about this? :confused2:
Anyone have any experience with this specific setup?

OK, I have been considering going over to Shell Rotella oil based on comments on this forum. I thought there were two versions, synthetic and regular (dino). I went to their website and found the following 5 versions:
T1 (Straight Grade) - T3 (Professional Value) - T5 (Synthetic Blend) - T6...

Ok, I will probably get blasted for this but has anyone else noticed a large portion of new posts are about items already covered hundreds of times and have multiple stickies about them????
Maybe the first thing new members should do is learn how to do a search.... A lot of wasted time for...
I have a set of adj levers from wxtracing on eBay for Gen 1 Maxes. They are now almost twice as expensive as when I bought them. Does any other vendor sell them? I have a friend wanting them but would like to spend less then $80.
Does anyone else have a problem with the search function on this site? It won't search for items with 3 characters or less. :bang head:
I have tried to find info on the effect 11.5" Progressive 440 shocks have on handling, specifically ground clearance. Also, how much does it lower the rear...
When I try to search for HID headlight mods the HID is dropped by the search engine as being too small, etc. How can I search for HID mods? Need to upgrade my headlight as my old eyes are needing more light... :biglaugh:
OK, so I had a DOH moment. :bang head: A few days ago I left the ignition/headlight on when I left my Max at the storage unit. Came back today and the Odyssey battery was totally dead. I put it on my Battery Tender and left. My question is, did I ruin the battery and if not, will the Battery...
Just installed my new HAC luggage rack without the sissybar. Was going to use my Corbin seat with Corbin backrest. That way I could easily remove the backrest when not needed and the HAC rack is reasonably small so it doesn't look too bad.
Unfortunately, when I went to put the seat on, it...
OK, I am getting old and cannot see those tiny pics Redbone places in his posts. They are not down-loadable in a size that can be seen either. :damn angry:
Here is my proposal:
Set up an album in the Gallery titled "Redbone Avatars". Let Redbone post full size pics of all those beautiful...
Been corresponding with Coprunner about his Delkevic slip-ons. Currently have Kerker chrome slip-ons that look and sound great but are a little loud for my tastes. Supposedly the Delkevics are not much louder than stock.
Anyway, couldn't find any for sale even on the Delkevic website. So...
Last November I visited with the Race Tech rep at the Cycle World/Progressive Motorcycle Show in Dallas. I have the emulators and 1.0 springs. I was not happy with the ride. The shocks were too stiff and the initial jolt was too abrupt. I assumed it was the 1.0 springs being too stiff for my...
