    Whats your favorite Sitcom of all time?

    Married with Children. I used to joke with my son by telling him that if we had the dizzy blonde we would have the whole family. Bud was my favorite character. I thought Peg was hot.

    '05 ABS rear sensor fail

    Don't put anything in where brake fluid goes but brake fluid. You will be replacing parts for a long time if you put that tranny fluid in there. The oil reacts with the rubber parts and distorts them.

    would I be a fool to buy this bike?

    If it were not for projects like this I would have had to walk everywhere I went between the ages of 17 and 30. I am not going to get into a discussion about intelligent purchase decisions, or the lack thereof, but I had many cars and motorcycles like this one. For the most part I loved them. I...

    Is someone here from Holland to do a favor for me?-UPDATE:FOUND!

    Hey Mihalis, You know that many of the things they sell in Holland will get you thrown in Jail in Greece. Hope you will not be witting letters from behind bars. I also hope the forum is mature enough to realize that I made this post in jest. Yes, I know that may be a leap of faith.

    problem idling

    If it had a good idle before you took it apart and will not idle now, then my guess would be that the timing is out. Bite the bullet and check the timing. You are not the first to put it together wrong.

    Radical Ride

    Looks like it is set up for drag racing. My guess is that it comes off of the line real fast but handles like crap. I bet the owner is saving for a set of wheelie bars. Sweet looking ride, but I need a place for a passenger.

    Rotella not good?

    I just changed my oil last night. Made a special trip to Wally World to pick up a 10 quart bottle of Rotella T Dino Juice. I guess the motor will fly apart on the way home tonight. Mine has not started shifting automatically yet, but I am hoping it will do so with a few more oil changes.

    FJR gas tanks double-wall?

    Black Diamond in Marion, IL has always been pretty good to me. I often window shop, and participate in a several of their events each year. They have even mounted and balanced a tire or two for me that I carried in. Never had a problem with them or with most Harley riders I meet. I have even...

    Dropped a nut...

    I had them build my FJR Nut Clip into my RDL seat. The factory seat let the boys slide around too much and they were dragging on the road in the curves. Sorry guys, I was kind of busy while this was happening and did not get a chance to take pictures. On a more serious note, I would think that...

    Intake Pressure Sensor reading low.

    If it ran fine before your maintenance and you did not get rough or obviously damage anything then you are chasing a ghost. Sensors do not go bad while you are doing maintenance. If you had this problem before your maintenance then you might be on to something. I think I would be looking at the...

    Front tire removal

    I don't have an issue with the slider idea except I get a little sloppy moving things around and this seems to put the jack stand in a location that could scratch the heck out of my poor bike. Jack under header works good for me.

    Wanted: Gen III Seat Pans

    David, I have a set that I purchased from FJRGuy for my 2010 when I had my RDL built last winter. My intention was to keep them and use them for my daily commute. Now that I have the RDL I can not see putting the stock Seats back on the bike. The seats came off a 2007 and had almost no miles on...

    Just when you thought things couldn’t get any sillier…..

    Don't pay attention to Wheaton Greg, his hemorrhoids are flaring and he can't ride much. Congrats and great job.

    Tach Doesn't Always Reset

    I have seen it posted that when some members disconnect their batteries they will sometimes have a tack that moves off of zero. To go a little farther down this path, I have seen it written that if some members with Gen II bikes disconnect their GROUND wires their tach will move off zero. I also...
