Thanks, I know I'll eventually get used to it. I just wanted to start looking into my options now for when I am all better and able to ride. I'll only be losing the twisting motion that I'd need for the throttle. I'll still be able to grab the brake (or clutch if I moved it to the right side)...

First off I apologize if this is in the wrong section and if so please move it to the correct section. So after battling severe Rheumatoid Arthritis for the past 10 years and seeing multiple doctors I found out my only real option to be in less/no pain is total wrist fusion. Now it wouldn't be...

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've been on here and even worked on the bike. Back in 2011 I lost my job and was forced to do a short sale on the house. Then the people who bought the house only gave us 90 days to be out. Well after moving the bike got put on the back burner till last week...

I finally got to work on the bike a little. Been super busy with this new job. I put a make shift toe peg on that I made out of a bolt and nuts I had lying around. It works ok so far but will continue to look for something else to use. two-smoker- thanks! I've been working hard on it for a...

Yeah they do. I was going along shifting fine then went to up shift and there was nothing there. My wife was driving behind me and said I looked down and around almost in a panic. Then she said she wished she had a video camera with her so she could record me shifting. She said she was laughing...

I got to work on the bike a little today. I put the new battery in after charging it and it started and ran great on the first kick. I took her for a short ride, 10 miles or so and she ran great. So I decided to ride home on the bike. About halfway home I went to shift and nothing, there was no...

Mark - Thanks for the complements. I actually saw it on here a couple times and decided it looked cool so I did it. If i would have to do it again I wouldn't lol. It was just a pain and I did it all by hand like PJ said he did his. But I think I figured out my battery problem. I took the...

PJ the old battery was about 3.5-4 years old, and you know what the FL heat does to batteries. I put a brand new battery in and charged it overnight on a known good charger and it was only at 10v. I'm gonna take the battery back tomorrow and switch it out. Nope not running any flashers. Just...

I say if you have the space and equipment go for the real paint. You'll just kick yourself in the ass later if you go with the rattle can and in a couple months have to redo it. I know there are guys that have great results with rattle can paint jobs but if you can do it with regular automotive...

Thanks. I actually tried two different chargers. One that I know for sure works great and still nothing. It's a sealed cell battery so I can't check the level but since it is brand new and I did put the acid in I figured it would be fine. I'll try the removal thing just to try it. I've never...

Yesterday when I was riding my bike to my parents house after riding it all day it broke down on me. At first I thought it was the battery as I know it's needed a new one for a while. Once I got a new battery and realized I had to charge it first I trailered the bike to my parents, put it on...

Didn't get much done on the bike today. I did check it though and the battery is only showing 10V after charging overnight. Also when I turn the power on to the bike the neutral light comes on then dims and back and forth till it just stops. Not really sure what might be wrong with it. Might go...

Yep that was me. Hahaha I did the same exact thing when I did my cover. My wife thought I was crazy but she really liked it when I was done. Just pm me. I'm sure we'll be able to work something out.

Crazypj - I pm'd you not to long ago but I missed the meet up at Kappy's. It was running fine or what I thought was fine and then just died on me. I think the coils might draw a little more than the stock. I needed a new battery any ways. The old one was like 3 years old or so. I'm not sure...
