    Cruise Servo Unit Hit

    Was doing a walkaround this morning and noticed a gouge in my servo unit. It's mounted under my right side bag. Anybody with one mounted by the bag (left or right) have any guesses as to what may have happened? It LOOKS like an abraision from the tire, but notice that it's nowhere near the edge...

    Saddle bag protection

    Tank slapper can be found here: https://www.thetankslapper.com/ It's a mixed kit of surface tension plastic (repositionable) and 3M stick on stuff. I used it on the sides of my tank and the back of the tank. When I go long distance, I put the whole tank top piece on to avoid scuffs from the...

    Looking for source of in ear speakers

    Another option you may be able to find locally are the Shure E2C's. I got mine at a local CompUSA for $99. They come with several different sets of ear fittings on them - soft rubber, plastic, then foam earplugs, all in a couple of different sizes. I think I'm using the medium foam earplug...

    computer assistance needed

    Absolutely. Been in there numerous times, from the getgo. I highly doubt it's one of a kind, though. I wouldn't be surprised if depending upon the model you get they limit your access, but Dell has never had a problem with me mucking about in the system, including the guts, and all without...

    Out of fear of seeing this thread wind down, let me post this article I just came across: https://www.sptimes.com/2006/06/19/State/Re...r_fatalit.shtml

    Saddle bag protection

    I've had the TankSlapper plastic on for going on 3 years, no problems, works well (I can tell because it's full of scuffs and dings from me kicking it).

    computer assistance needed

    My Dell at home is fully accessible. There is no factory password on my BIOS.... Don't recall the model off the top of my head.

    computer assistance needed

    Access to the BIOS depends on the type of computer as well as the manufacturer. This guide may help: https://www.michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm As for SP2, it seems picky about certain peripherals. I attempted to install it 4 or 5 times before getting frustrated and handing it...

    Buffing minor scratches out of windshield

    Novus makes several different "grits" for their polish, so depending upon the scratch, you may need to work your way through, but I've never used a buffer. Always hand, with a clean, cotton rag/towel. I had some nasty scratches on my shield. When we moved, I was taking it out of the moving...

    Buffing minor scratches out of windshield

    I've had great luck with Novus plastic polish, which I think I picked up at a local Novus windshield place. Looks like this: https://www.noscratch.com/novus/ Also like the stuff CeeBailey's sent with the windshield. Also noticed in Target today that McGuires has some kind of scratch remover...

    Oregon Trip

    John, If you do the Mt. Hood loop, where 26 and 35 meet, look for Trillium Lake. The road's a little on the poor side, so be careful, but once you get back there, there's a beautiful view across the lake to Mt. Hood (you can do a GIS for "trillium lake" to see). Also, be sure to stop by...

    Broke the throttle stop

    To summarize, adding a bolt through the throttle stop for the cruise control linkage causes the bolt to contact the throttle cable when the throttle is full open. I considered bending mine, but was concerned about snapping the tab off, so I did not. At full throttle, the nut just contacts the...

    Oregon Trip

    John, If you're interested, I'd be happy to bring you around Mt. Hood if scheduling permits. It's a loop out Hwy 26 to 35. Beautiful scenery - a great look at Mt. Hood. Another good (long) day would be the route we took this past Saturday, which you can get from the ride report I posted. Mt...

    Done. Do you have a preference for Saturday or Sunday? So far, it seems fairly flexible...

    Volcano Ride II

    Mt. St. Helens volcano ride redux. Mother Nature blocked off some of the roads on June 10th, so we'll try again. As long as BluFJR's map is up, we may as well reference that: Volcano Ride When: Saturday August 19th Who's Coming: FJRJeff Flylooper shu snowmonkey 650cent And while we're...

    Oregon Coast Ride

    Ours didn't last too long either! Glad you liked it. :D

    Oregon Coast Ride

    Due to the unknown status of some of the roads on the volcano ride, some of us opted for a ride down the Oregon Coast as an alternative. We met up around 8:30am at McDonalds on the west side of Portland. Ended up with 5 total, 2 2004's, 2 '05's and one brand new 06, which birds really seemed...
