a few have put a 1500 rear on their 1200 wings, something i'm going to look in to if I get another 1200 wing

after having a 1200 wing with a poorboy kit installed I would never go back to having one with a stator. if it is properly installed it looks stock but has way more power than the stator plus its easier to change if or when it goes out. I gave my niece my 1200 wing but a friend of ours has a 1200 wi...

It will probably take a little while for the strength to come back - hopefully it will not be too long. Which foot did you break? it wasn't a matter of strength it was the vibration coming from each bike. broke my right foot today was my first day back at work, it didn't take much walking to get my...

I broke my foot back in july and had not even started any of my bikes. at todays doctors visit he said I could ditch the boot so once back home I did. went out a few hours later and fired up the Mighty ST 1300 and the GSA, I rode each one up and down the block to see how it would feel. well I can sa...

both of my 660's were refurb units that I've never had a problem with. at last years Goldwing doc's gathering the 660 on the Mighty ST1300 didn't lock in the mount ( my fault ), it decided to dismount while making a left turn on to the main road. I heard it hit the ground and slide across a couple t...

what parts you need, a friend of mine had a parts bike ( ST 1100 ) around the time I broke my foot but i'm not sure if he still has it or just strip off the busted plastic and go street fighter style

if you don't mind an older GPS look on ebay for a zumo 550 ( i'm looking for one of these ) or 450. if you need to update the maps you can pay garmin for the update and I've seen a few 550's for right around $200 with the M/C harness. if you find a 660lm or 665lm even better just make sure you get a...

motor,and carb, new chain and sprockets,new tubes, tires and brakes installed now its time to do the wiring and clean the tank. most likely paint work will happen during the winter months

Grand Marais, MN. what a beautiful area, I got a peek when I did my first iron butt ride and said I wanted to return to the area, thanks for sharing

well my boot might come off on 9 / 11 but I still won't be in shape to make the M & G, my foot gets sore just walking and it doesn't take much walking to irritate it

Pick some routes for the old guys with a trike.

Don't worry, you'll be able to ride the routes.

the gravel routes too??

sorry you have to get out of motorcycling but glad you are not pushing it by continuing to ride, good luck in your next adventure and I hope your health improves too

was back at JW's yesterday and got the new tires, tubes, brakes, and carb installed. reinstalled the brake pedal, stator cover, and chain guard plus a new chain and sprockets. heading back in an hour or so

I usually ride in a group of three. me, myself, and I but sometimes ride in / with a larger group

William,
Sorry to hear about your foot. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

well with all this time off of work I've managed to get some sleep and get the lifan 125 motor installed in the XL 70, now to get it wired up

got about 350 mile under my belt yesterday but those miles were in the tintop. drove out to zeeland, mi. and stopped in to see the mini show that trail buddy.com was hosting

That is a real shame William. 4 weeks will go by before the Gathering, any chance to Dr. will ok riding as soon as the boot comes off? Hang in there my friend. probably not, i'll still have to do rehab. seeing that this is a workers comp case I don't want to do anything to get booted ( :) ) off of ...

went to the doctor yesterday and he said four to six more weeks in the boot, doesn't look like i'm going to make the third annual gathering

Well, I got out of the hospital today, went in for a blood clot in my lungs accompanied by a lot of bleeding. They got that fixed, now I'm grounded from riding the bike for awhile. Oh, well, if it not one thing is another. you're home, that has to count for something and you are getting better, get...

I hope that fixes it.

it did, I had pulled the radio out about eight months ago but didn't have any mini 10 amp fuses

I started riding again back in 2007 and the helmet I bought was an hjc. a few years later I thought I wanted a newer helmet and bought another hjc. to me it seemed like they narrowed the helmet, it was pinching my cheek bones so I returned it. I would get another hjc if it fit like my first one did ...
