When the **** did we get ice cream?

My tool kit was listed out here. As Eric mentioned, when traveling I also carry a first aid kit and extra water.

You mean people actually RIDE the AE's? I thought they were just a gimmick.

Looks like one of the bushings for the headlight mount posts in the front sub-frame. There should be 4. Don't know why those would be in the tail, though.

Hurm... A week in Oregon huh? And you'll have a car this time? ;)

If it's the stock '04 battery, I would say it's time for replacement. When the battery in my '03 started going, the symptoms only occurred for a few minutes when the bike was really hot.

Center table, second row. I could pick him out of a photo, maybe.

Mike, I was actually recalling our experience on the side of the road in NC just this morning. It occurred to me we only got the bike to start in Neutral, and I just this morning thought it might be the clutch switch or associated wiring. If the bike won't start in neutral, I doubt this is the...

My interpretation was clean as preventative maintenance. The last thing I want to worry about in the event of a tipover is one more place for gas to leak out. Rather, I'd prefer to have the safety net. From Radman above YMMV, but it's easy to give a squirt of cleaner each oil change. No...

There are three options, in order of preference: a. Tap deeper with the existing size and use a longer screw: easiest. Measure the depth of the bore with a piece of wire, and compare to the stock fastener length. If you've got 3+ mm of usable bore past the stock screw length, go to the longer...

The bike's carrying capacity is about 485 lbs. That doesn't mean it's going to preform optimally at that weight in the stock configuration. Still sounds like you haven't found a proper setup for you yet. I weight about 285 now, and was as high as about 325 while riding with the stock...

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say it: I haven't had good BBQ since I crossed to the west side of the Mississippi River. Apparently Texas threatened everyone in the west into following their BBQ cult. If one of you local PNW'ers wants to prove me wrong, I'm willing to try.

Iggy was beat boxxin' and layin' down some phat rhymes.

Got back about the same time as OC. Thanks for a good ride back Eric! And thanks to everyone else for another great rally!

;)

This isn't entirely true. I know at least one person who changed out to the Gen 1 master cylinder because he didn't like the "improved" clutch feel of the Gen 2. I could be full of ****, but check the part numbers for a difference.

Holy Cow! Double resurection! Since the beginning of this thread, chatterbox released the xBi and xBi2 bluetooth units. I picked up an xBi for the WFO ride a few days ago, at a cost of $152. I've been streaming by Ipod via bluetooth, and also use it with my cell. So far it's worked great...

I got one at the local cycle gear on friday of last week.

If it turns out to be the stator, I'd be interested in doing the post-mortum and possibly trying to rebuild it. PM me if you're interested Art (or Skoot)

Got the gift certificate, and 150 10% off coupons from Muzzys. A box just showed up from Nline with several kickass FJR shirts, and about 144 WFO-8 bottle openers/key chain fobs. Pretty kick-*** if you ask me!
