As a mechanic with well over 30 years under my belt, I can't and won't bad mouth or blame the guy because I wasn't there and don't know his situation. I hope he made to where he was headed safely and gets it back on the road soon. You know, it really isn't about what you ride its just about...

one of the things I liked about the old wing is, you could stretch the gears out and pick up the speed that way. I noticed riding with my brother who has an 05 Harley ultra classic, that he'd already be in 5th gear and I'd be leaving 3rd start to stretching out 4th. My new road king can cruise...

AS yet, she hasn't told me her name <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

lol, Oh, I plan on sticking around, I love to look at "projects" in the works and learn as much as I can about all makes of bikes.

Well, I just wanted to say Thank You for all the advise and tips on the wing. Solved the issues and its running great, but its no longer mine. If I get booted (no drama meant by this) cause I bought a 04 Harley Road King today I'll understand. I have learned sooo much about the GL1200's from...

Well, looks like I might have figured it out, I figured I either have to loose weight quick or adjust to a tighter setting on the new progressive shocks, decided adjusting the shocks would be quicker :) and the test ride agreed with me. I will take it out tomorrow for a longer test run, find...

I try this tomorrow, If I go near it again today, it could be dangerous for me and the bike :rant: :whistling: :smilie_happy:

Some good news, Shinko is replacing the tire, they don't want the old tire back (which makes me wonder if they knew there is a problem with at least some of their 230 tourmaster tires) all I have to pay is $19 shipping on the replacement tire. Took everything apart today checked - rechecked -...

Thanks, it'll be interesting to see how they handle the return/warranty issue.

me and my brother actually checked for this, the bead line is even all the way around on both sides of the tire, so pretty sure that's not the issue.

Oh yeah, this is the second time in a month I've had to tare the rear end apart, not wanting to have to do this again for a long time, so new bearings and seals this time. Oh, the tire is a Shinko 230 tour master 150/90/15. Just put a matching shinko 230 tour master 130/90/16 on the front, no...

Well when it rains it pours, the brand new tire is out of round and the rim is spinning true, so going to check the rim closely and just for kicks and giggles replace rear wheel bearings and seals. Already contacted the tire folks about replacing this out of round new tire.

Well after taking it out for a short ride this morning the noise was louder, so I came back home and put it up on the center stand and removed saddlebags and rear covers, put it in gear and watched the back tire and sure enough a slight wobble. Found one spot about 3 inches long on the sidewall...

Mr. Murphy is enforcing his laws today. I leave my motorcycle at home cause its too cold and snowy, take my truck up to visit my daughter and grandkids and this morning the alternator goes out on the truck. Oh well, just another day in the life of Rick.....lol
