Where do I get that tent ^^^^^ and what model do I order!! Jeeeeezzzzzz ... I'm telling you Bill you have a tough life scouring the internet ... how do I get that job?!

Mark -

Your welcome, any idea how the pin came out? Had you replaced pads or other brake work recently?

Don

Mark - Try here, you may have to pull one of the stock slider pins to measure ... http://www.oppracing.com/category/231-brake-caliper-replacement-parts/ Here are bolt replcements too ... http://www.oppracing.com/category/937-brake-caliper-spacers-bolts/ These guys have everything Brembo to rebuild ....

PM - Good to see you being a responsible traveler! You have to acclimate yourself and habits to where you will be traveling to!! You go and make your momma proud!!


PS
I sure wish I was going ...

Great job with the slide shows! Lots of really good weather with lots of really good people, had a blast!

I agree with Barry, I was pushing 500HP at the rear wheel with a small block radiator ... never an issue. You do not need a BB rad in your trike, no idea why they ever installed one except to bring money into the shop? I still believe it is either fuel pressure (easy enough to check with a guage or ...

Jack -

The last set I did were just headers, it's been awhile but I believe it was in the $300 range? Give them a call and get a quote. Do you have new headers? I know there is an extra charge to clean the old set up if used ... still cheaper to clean then replace.

Don

Jack - I agree and can speak from experience Jet Hot is the company to use for ceramic coatings. I've used them probably more then dozen times with various projects. The coatings are extremely rugged too, always looked brand new no matter how many miles or years. I've used flat black almost exclusiv...

That is YOUR breather system that Mike had to fabricate on the new bike/engine. Without it the engine won't run, builds up pressure internaly ...

If you're going to have steel valve stems installed (which I think is a very good idea if you're using a TPMS), you might consider going with a T valve stem that would allow you to put air in the tire without removing the sensor. Even thought it's not a big deal to remove them when you put in air, ...

Particular...my favorite word....my wife calls me anal, I prefer to call it as being particular as well LOL. BIG difference in my humble particular opinion :hmmmm: Yea that's what my wife and friends say about me too ... :dunno: they say anal, I say "particular" ... I'm with you Jim, BIG ...

Don,, :wft: are you doing up there? You should be almost totally packed by now! I guess i'll leave the Blue tires on, Now to find out when the Deland tour group leaves. :popcorn: I have no idea why I'm here, I should have stayed longer south longer ... too damn cold to do about anything. Seems one ...

I'll be riding ... BUT ... Unfortunantly it won't be to Leesburg ... Riding to an Open House a few hours away, far enough with high temp of 46 degrees, I'm sure missing FL more each day. Temp right now is 39 with "real feel" 35 WTF :/ You all have fun and be safe, post pics for us poor sou...

In an effort to increase the reach, audience, and ease of use for our current foreign language members on the forum I decided to install a translate option that is located next to the Facebook link on the top header. Please let anyone you may know who would benefit from this change. A translator wo...

I don't see a dumbass translation in there John ...

Running 100 shot. Gap is the same on both sides but just on the back side. The front is tight.Seems like the angle of the forks is causing this gap. I lifted front end of bike up and then lifted up tire and forks to see if there is any play. All seems to be tight with no play. Curious how your clun...

Iron Maiden wrote:I have been busy with work in Seattle and just now catching up on posts and came across this one - THANK YOU!!!

Here we just thought you were just ignoring us ...

Glad you have the time to catch up, has to be better weather in FL too!

Damn Barry ... I was hoping the new Canadian regulation was "Any and all trikes or bikes from USA to Airdrie, Alberta must be brought in by V-MAN" I guess I need to make a phone call to Toronto and see what's up? :goodidea: :usa: :canada: Glad you heard back from Toronto, at least you got ...

Sold my chopper today. With that done this will be my last post.. Life brings change.. and for me... Being a living grampa means more to me than speed and smoke. So.. The day has come for me to slow it down and enjoy whatever life brings next... Happy trails to all of you.. It has been a fun ride b...

Ricky - Hows the bike going? Did you get the minor issues resolved? I would love to see more video ... that engine sounds soooo fricken nasty! Don Don Still have one issue remaining; bike NOT tracking straight. It pulls hard right, not sure what is wrong yet. I lined-up rear wheel such that it is t...

I always enjoyed watching at the demo areas of BH and V8 Choppers ... The first time they hit the "fire button" and the bike pulls right!!! PRICELESS

Ricky -

I'm sure you are going to have a BLAST! I'm also sure you will find many EU guys jumping in offering suggestions and even "tour guide" ... have fun and be safe. Watch that beer over there, much stronger then our US counterparts!

Don

Awesome, your really getting close now. I like "black chrome" look, are you doing other items besides the handlebars? Is that being done local also? I have found in my dealings that many painters are just "a little touched" ... maybe too many paint fumes?! :lol: Have you decided ...

Jeff -

Hows the build going? Have you got it to the point to run and idle ok with fuel pressure? Looking forward to hear it running and see you hit the streets.
