Re: Now closed on Mondays

At that time almost 80% of the bikes went to Germany (Europe) and Monte and the Crew felt like the king of the world. Then after Rad left, Monte and Doug teamed up to just lean back and do nothing to improve the product. Just watching the cash cow. When work came up on the horizon to comply with new...

Re: BB firing order

Martin, my speedo went into calibration mode sometimes without a reason. It usually went away after two or three restarts. If not, do calibration procedure but dont drive, just press the button twice.
Also make sure that speedo wire is as far as possible away from distributer.

Just confirm what you say about the Carter 4070. I had it in my BB for more than 10 years and no issues at all. Perfect.

Re: Front Tire Wear - What's Your Typical Mileage?

Hi Bill, I went through several of the Cobras and I really liked them. Still stayed with the 230 AM 2? in the rear. The Cobra in the front handles really nice but milage wise it is rather less than the old style tires. On twisty European roads you get 4-5000 miles the most. That includes using the r...

Re: Adding a handlebar rear brake

@ Bill, no problem at all. It is a lot easier to express what one means by talking live to each other. You are absolutely right that Abs is not good for every surface. Streetbikes that also go on gravel or even off road have a switch to turn the Abs off for a good reason. I rode many different bikes...

Re: Adding a handlebar rear brake

Nothing against old school, but the world out there is changing. There are many bikes out there today that have Abs and a combo brake. There are some pretty smart engineers working at BMW and KTM for example. Having no experience with modern bikes and calling these people stupid is more than ignorant.

Re: Adding a handlebar rear brake

And also add one front brake (disc) to the footbrake. Lots of the newer bikes (GoldWing since 1989 !) have that combo to brake more efficient. Would be a good solution for older bikes without power brakes.
New bikes with Abs need power brakes.

Re: Boss hoss dealers

Chevygirl is just 100% right in respect to B&W. B&W played a very important role as a dealer and ambassadors for Boss Hoss. I was once told that they sold more Boss Hosses than any other dealer for the last couple of years while the company went down. Dont know if that is true, but at least ...

Re: Let's Talk Transmissions ... and other stuff

sorry for my bad English. They raised the oilpan to the old style. By "low" I meant not "deep" like the first trials. :oops:
So the oilpan is now the way it should be. Perfect.

Re: PICTURES OF THE NEW BIKE

The basic improvement at this time is the mapping of the LS3 motor. 80 more Hp. And, this is just the beginning. They only had a couple of weeks to prepare for Daytona. But right, I also hope that their pockets are deep enough to get through this disaster. The months to come will be tough.
