    Being cool and seen

    LOL, I can't make this stuff up. We meet at Clyde's on Wednesdays, 5:30PM in Aransas Pass and ride into Corpus Christi to Knuckleheads for the weekly show n tell and pool tournament (not an official tournament). The one who wins the most games, leads on the way back. :) git-r-dan :beach:

    Well, THAT was stupid!

    It has happened to me on more than one occasion and that's because my life is getting littered with senior moments. Once, I made a building inspection at a clients house. Left the key on by mistake and then had to have the client drive me back to my house to get the tender. I've noticed that...

    Being cool and seen

    I agree with Penguin on the above. The waterproof liner goes on easily as both liner and pants have zippers on the side. Recently purchased my wife a matching outfit and she loves the tapered fit and looks. My buds at the Harley hang-out commented on how the reflective piping lit up across...

    blue light special

    Wife said she saw a bike with blue led's that looked cool and wondered if I could do that to ours. I had already been checking them out at the local Harley hangout where there's a guy that installs them. He recommended customdynamics.com saying their lights were bluer blues, redder reds, ...

    Datel readings

    Warmed up "...it measured 13.5 off the battery and 13.0 after hooking up in a switched location." Just wished the stator gave us more headroom for lots of add-ons. Duster, good luck on getting that fixed. Skooter, you're right on the AE not taking much more power. When shifting gears on the...

    Datel readings

    Got the Datel installed. My battery was discharged from setting for a while so at the startup it measured 13.5 off the battery and 13.0 after hooking up in a switched location. Then off to some highway driving... it was steadily climbing and was between 13.5 - 13.7 after running for quite some...

    Datel readings

    I'm ordering the Datel but had no problems with the bike as far as low battery at anytime on the 2200 mile trip. It could be something wrong with the grip warmers. I do know the 06' A's got 100 or so extra watts because they didn't have the electric clutch. It will be interesting to see where...

    Datel readings

    I just read thru this discussion and wanted to let in on my recent road trip experience. I knew I needed a Datel but went ahead and installed the Zumo gps for the trip to AL/FL from Texas without the Datel. The trip back home started at 38 degrees and noticed that the grip warmers were not...

    Florida - Mr. & Mrs. git-r-dan heading your way!

    Just letting ya'll know, I'm now safe and sound back in Rockport, TX. That last stretch from Mobile back to Rockport took forever. Left at 7:30AM (38 degrees) making a stop in Baton Rouge checking out a musician friend's recording studio and then a stop in Beaumont, TX talking to some friends...

    Florida - Mr. & Mrs. git-r-dan heading your way!

    Finally got on the internet after arriving safely back in Mobile, AL. Sure missed out on a few posts between leaving for FL and the ride. Wow, it sure turned out to be a great group ride along the Johns river and Ocalla forest in Florida with Pickax, Mr. & Mrs. Roadglide, StellarSteve and...

    AE Owners Speak Up - Please!!

    FWIW: I have 27k on mine and will buy another AE when it's time to trade in. Believe $12,790 is a little steep for an 06'. You could probably get an 08' for that price with a little patience and travel. "sullivan's" got the answers right. :beach: gitterdan

    Big problem with Russell seat

    previous post There might not be enough foam to sink down into. After making a few trips on the last rebuild, it's starting to feel a little better and not as hard as that first seat. The problem that is happening now is that there is not enough padding in the front to keep me from sliding...

    cleaning windshield

    Been using Maguire's Tech Wax and then soap and water with one of those car wash gloves as mentioned before. I had an older gentleman come up while I was washing those criters off and suggest baking soda/water. He said, think about it... what are those bugs made mostly of...acid. Hadn't tried...

    New Russell seat

    Thought I might chime in here. I received my Russell from the group buy a while back in which they give you two free fittings. On a previous thread, I mentioned how bummed I was when they gave the rear seat about 6" of padding and the front seat was smaller with maybe an 1" of padding. The...
