It must suck to have a brain that functions without logic... What point are you trying to make?

I finally ordered and received a 36mm socket so I did the head nut retorque last weekend (did not touch the bearings). Now my front end clunk is gone. B)

It's a cute email (and old) but face it, Harley posers live for the reactions they get from "normal" people to their clothes, hair, tattoos, loud pipes, whatever... the whole "outlaw" BS. So what's the point here?

I agree that it's inconsiderate and arrogant to stop traffic to keep your group ride together. Face it, it just doesn't pass the common sense test of acceptable road behavior... try as you might to make excuses for it.

On my '05 it didn't seat back on the tang after one unwind (about 1/16 gap). However the throttle returns just fine and no issues have resulted.

Exactly. And if you're not pushing your FJR very hard you might find the HD performance acceptable.

LACO - This is the correct answer to your question as to whether the G2 mod solves all the throttle issues. It doesn't. A PCIII also helps in a big way in terms of throttle response (but again, not stiffness)

Everything in engineering has a trade-off. And maybe that's the trade-off for a tire that won't go flat. Not a good one if you like performance.

Actually though the idea of a tire that doesn't dump you when it loses air is a good idea and I bet wouldn't be too hard to engineer. I mean I agree with all the risk taking talk, etc, etc in this post (if I didn't I wouldn't be riding) but the thought of some randomly placed shard causing death...

Update on this story. I got the following PM from one of the persons involved in this accident. Glad to hear he is OK. His friend is not so OK (but is alive!). Forum name for this person is WoolZ...

** Warning - not an official account. Eyewitness and hearsay** Traffic was stopped in both directions for about an hour this afternoon on Hwy 410 near Greenwater. Observers reported that there was a fatality among multiple injuries in a group of motorcycle riders about a half mile from where I...

I had no opinion on this until this morning when I went to go for a ride and found my back tire was flat with a screw in it. Shoot... I was thinking new tires, big bucks, etc. :angry2: I decided to search the forum and found this poll. Sweet! I had never tried sticky strings before, but I...

Appreciate the input oldryder, but some would consider it bad forum manners to resurrect a year-old thread to do it! ;)

I like it, but it would be nothin' but trouble!

Keep in mind those pics are taken from the "good" side. That big fugly can is hiding on the other side.

A G/F that likes to ride. That's awesome! More power to her. I could live with the beemer. If she chose HD she'd be history.

So awful! I joined this forum when TWN announced it's existence on S-T.N in June '05... never looked back. It won't be the same without him here.

That's nuts. Glad I live south of the border.

Wow... this and the "lay her down" thread are awesome entertainment.

Looks better without those gawd awful cans but the aft end is still all F'd up. That whole fender needs to go!
