I got PO'd about the Autolite 4164 issue a couple weeks ago. So I went to the local auto-parts store, bought another cheap deep socket to fit them, and ground it down till it fit on a bench grinder. I know it's not a recommended practice, and it's not pretty, but it works! Besides, it really got me ...

Here's a couple other places to visit in the E. S. area:

My low fuel light can come on constant as early as 120 miles or as late as 160 miles. It also will come on for a while when starting, especially when parked on the side stand, and then go off shortly after take-off. Which is a nice early warning indicator BTW. But, I take it for what it is (an idiot...

A friend of mine is planning on getting an RT and would like to get an ARMEC Sidewinder Sidecar as well. Do any of you know of an ARMEC Dealer in the US? The website doesn't have dealer or contact info that I can find and I see the compatibility list stops at 1150's so I'm wondering if there still i...

Cheese & Rice! Did you check out the $ on the Nighthawks?

If I buy one, I better be able to ride it home

Don't worry DD, it may be an honer just to be shot by one

Phil, Try this: 1. Power supply not hooked up (either end) 2. Set the Volt Meter on Ohms 3. Connect one lead of the Ohm meter to the negative lead of the output that goes to the Radio 4. Connect the other lead to the two input power leads one at a time. 5. The one with the least resistance (in ohms)...

One possibility... Since it's a DC to DC converter the input and output Negatives "may" be connected together internally. If you have a good Ohm meter, you can measure from the known negative on the output side to each wire on the input side. The one with the lowest resistance is the Negat...

I just saw this..... :lol: :lol: :lol: Phil you crack me up! Unfortunately, that resembles several scenes from my youth! :shock: :shock: Oh Sh!t, did say that out loud, now the interrogators are gonna get frisky, Jeez! :oops: :oops: Ask me about the time me and some friends traipsed through a constr...

OK, OK, already!

Cam's relentless in every xxxx topic has caused me to cave in

In the words of Pete the Puma... I'll take teeeew (2). But, when my wife finds out, it's gonna give me a heeaadache!

Does someone have a procedure, how hard is it?

Is there an unofficial Spline Lube Procedure? I thought I remembered seeing something once with photos, but can't find it.

Also, any recommendations on frequency?

If it's not terribly difficult, at 43K now, it sure wouldn't be a bad thing to at check!

Sorry to hear about the Rock! Most importantly though you are OK. Bikes can be replaced, for example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycles___2004-BMW-1150R-Rockster_W0QQitemZ260266851504QQddnZMotorcyclesQQddiZ2283QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260266851504&_trksid=p3756.m14.l1318 Funny thing is, ...

Part 1 I came down with a bad Periodontal (upper gum) Infection and ended up staying at home for 3 days a couple weeks ago. On the last day the pain finally subsided and swelling around my upper gums had gone down considerably thanks to double doses of Amoxicillin 4 times a day and plenty of Vicodi...

Ahhhhhhhh!

You've got time, something's gotta give by then. If not, I'm predicting a case of the flu at your house that weekend, yeah, that's it.

Please delete.

Vickie and I would not be able to make the Oct. 24-26 date, as we would not have someone to watch our son over that weekend. So we would prefer to keep it on the Columbus Day weekend too. Dave, understanding your situation of not being able to be there on the original dates, I can help with plans an...

That was a pleasant surprise Ves, thanks for turning around to say hi to us. As I told you, lesson learned "If you see a Green Rockster in northern IL, it's probably someone you know" :D But, the odds were probably equal for you, after all, how often do you see a Silver R, a Red V-Star, an...
