Still have not found that 10mm wrench. I was working on my "redneck" pontoon lil 25 hp Evinrude, replacing starter, ordering new starter, receiving wrong starter (because I ordered the wrong starter), not able to get new starter to work, "Frankenstein"ing the new starter with old...

We just hit mid 50s today, though it was lucky if it was 30 this a.m., and the roads were definitely "slickery", lol.

How did DD find a couple thumbs up button? I am still looking for mine.... Always like these type of vids, shows what we really enjoy being out of a cage.

As I kept watching, I could tell it was a "train crash" waiting to happen, and by George it was. The creativity was cool in the beginning and then seemed repeatable. What I did like was seeing semi-easy it was to put a bike together.....though I would not trust myself doing that, lol.

You may not, but other may.....I watched the show....loved the creative juices flowing on their bikes, not the arguing and such....amazing what happens when fame and fortune takes hold.

G'Day back....and welcome in. This ain't no hot-dog ride, though I have scraped through turns and I just curve through, that is the extent of my sport ride.....and a friend of mine asked me yesterday "Do you still have that 'comfy couch' in your garage?" Ha! You betcha!

Not to knock jvh's post, just because I like the DIY Hacks too, some are amusing, some are ingenious and a point of "why did I not think of that?!?!?!", but when I read this one, first thing I thought was my crotch on fire flying down the freeway.....at least I will be warm in this 30 degr...

Greetings from WA State....better get it ready for riding season (the next month or so for me, and I will be out, can not wait).

I can see both points, though if Cyclemax in their T&C states that they can not accept product that was placed on the bike, even any possible little scratch on the item makes it not salable. This is not just a Cyclemax thing, but an overall where internet sales lie. Credit Card companies will no...

Mag, I'll keep my eyes peeled for you when I'm passing through your area, a beige Goldwing with a short tinted windshield should be easy to spot. I'll be the guy with the red helmet and hi-viz vest like in the pic above and no front disc cover so I should be easy to spot too! That is a deal....as m...

Please do....it is 25 degrees outside and WHITE! Water in the channel I live on is iced over, my ride is staying where she is at....

You will get it going. I should check to see what parts I have, though I probably will use them....some day.

I use the speaks on my bike, always have. Why? Do not want anything directly in my ear so I can hear what is around me if needed. That being said, I should turn it down a bit....maybe

It was good weather (sorta) in the NW this weekend....wife and I headed to the coast in the "cage" to visit peeps, pick up some stuff, and ramble on back. Believe my bike will be on the road next weekend, getting warmed up for the upcoming season

I am currently building a 91 from the ground up. The only thing I need in a stereo is bluetooth. I can stream XM, Pandora, or my own music from my phone and don't want clutter on my bike. I have found an amp that up to 3 phones can bluetooth to, at the same time. My wife can control the music and I...

Not to laugh at your account, but I am laughing. Rough thing is that my wife and I (54 and 53 in that order) are starting to give those "deer in headlight" looks trying to remember things....and then all we do is laugh. Welcome to many more years of braincells giving up on us, lol. Welcome...

Why did I laugh at that?

And what an idea, did not even thing of converting my seat to heated.....

Hey! It works!

You betcha!!! Ol program works again, just like an Ol Gwing (I finally realized today that my bike is 30 years old.....WHAT THE HECK WITH THAT????)

'88 Beige.....a good year', lol.

When I bought my current (used) ride, I could not figure where the high pitch ring came from......lower right side on the case saver....UGH! Hanging on a peg board in my garage now where it belongs. Oh, and I have not lost any pieces yet (been 4-5 years)

I am partial to the blue Wing myself....purty!! And a Foot-Long hot dog is more expensive than a hamburger???? WHO KNEW!!!

What about going to an upholstery shop and getting your current seat form redone (new foam, new cover if needed)? This way you know the seat will fit for one, and you can match the backrest also. Just thinking of other options if possible. I am sure there are probably YouTubes that show how to do it...

Brian, post what you do since I am interested. I am 5.10 32 inseam, but I have knee issues and have always had cruiser pegs on all my bikes. This one is the first where I have the boards out front (flip up etc.) and though they are a bit high, I have been able to get used to them. I do not like wher...

Yea, we are all tilting our heads to the left (like when we talk to our dogs and they have that look) I have a hi-powered HID and love the spread, did not want to change it. Do like what you did with the markers though and will probably be looking at upgrades there for mine. Season is definitely aro...

I semi-believe if I am given shop records that I can verify, but 9 out of 10 times I check over and replace fluids, and basic maintenance replacement (though I do still need to do the timing belts....2018 will be that date, once the garage thaws out).
