Re: Pullman City 2017

August may be hot in the Basel area but not necessarily in Amsterdm. So going in June is an option. As far as I know the Rhine cruises are booked well, so book that first.

Re: US GPS

Hmm, I was not aware of that and did some research. It seems that the newer software like Garmin Express does not cooperate with and support older (Zumo)Versions. That seems to be the reason why the Map-update does not work (still considering that you have enough free space). I found a link to the o...

Re: US GPS

Same is true for the slightly cheaper Zumo 590LM. I am using that thing in my cars/Truck and on the bike. Connecting to the smartphone is easy and works well but I dont use it either. You can get traffic alerts and the rainradar from your phone directly on the screen. To many gimmicks for me so I am...

Re: Motorcycle Industry Headline news!!! WOW ...VICTORY GONE

Sad, but not surprising. Victory tried it for 18 Years and they had a great product but no image. Indian on the other side has a great image, history, marketing and a great product. They sold more bikes in their third year on the market than Victory. The booth of Indian was about triple the size tha...

Re: Motor Mount Issues

The left bolt on my 502 broke a couple of years ago due to lousy factory design (the hole in the plate was not in line with the hole in the motor) We welded a new plate and its been good since. In my opinion the 502 is a heavy motor with a lot of torque and you dont want it be able to shift within t...

Re: New front tire

@ Bill: the 16" Cobra is the only approved by Avon for the BH here in Germany. It has a loadindex of 74H. You are saying you are using the 18". They vary between 63H and 69H. :hmmmm: My Indian chief already has a 67 front and the Roadmaster a 73. Bienes Indian Scout even has a 72 front tir...

Re: New front tire

That Cobra is a nice tire, but on a heavy bike like the Boss it wont last long. On my bike I could get 4-5kmls out of it. That is with a MCrear tire and using only rear brake in day to day riding. I never use the front brake on the Boss unless I have to.

Boss Hoss Concepts

Does anyone have information about Boss Hoss Concepts ?
The website is down for a couple of weeks now; in the beginning I thought it is just a computer error but they seem to have disappeared for good except for parts on ebay ?
