Damn,
I've been knee deep in the grind lately looks like I missed all the fun!

I'm only going to be up Saturday the 15th (Day trip), but looking forward to seeing everyone again this year!
I've been waiting to see who does it first!
There's probably someone who's out there now working to shoehorn one in there.
That would be insane. We have issues with our Torque as it is, could you imagine twice the weight up front and double or triple the torque rating on that rear tire? I don't think the SS would move, it would just sit there and spin the tire all day
This will fix that pesky issue.
Drizeh what part of North America are you located in? I ask because maybe your close to one of us that could take a look with you?
In the meantime Ghost is dead on what you need to check next, loose connections happen and that's what this sounds like to me as well not a frozen starter.
The starter is actually pretty easy to get out all you need to do is remove the intake manifold and that puppy is right there. If you need to do that route here you go.
Enough said!
Slopoke long time no see or hear from...This is Shane the guy you met at DDM last summer.Me and Dalton are thinking of heading that way tomorrow if you can join us.I will check in later this afternoon and give you our plans if your interested.
Count me in!
Sorry gents. My wifes Aunt and Uncle live up there and they said it's still shutdown.
rabtech head up to Helen / Blood Mountain and I will meet you up there this weekend. Not as good as the Dragon, but not that far off either.
Great install thread Dzemboc77
Welcome to the boosted world, just remember to hold down that traction control button until it disables both safeguards. The factory MEFI computer pulls a ton of power when it detects the rear tire slipping (which you will do alot of now).
I set the mod clock to 1.5 months as you are expecting snow thus limiting your time behind the wheel. In 1.5 months you should be at that point where you want to upgrade to a stage 2 kit and maybe a cam or forged motor. The power is awesome for a month or so then the mod bug bites and you want more. tenor (2).gif
I put blue painter's tape on it and traced the pattern. Cut the tape and made templates for the grip tape. BTW I actually got my grip tape at a skateboard shop, it was cheaper than the industrial safety stuff.
And again, thank you for the awesome advice! Leaving in about 10 minutes as I have a skate shop pretty close to me.
Display MoreOk kids here's some photos to help explain the modification to the BRP cap.
This is the gap that's to tight.
This is the edge that needs sanded down.
You'll need to take off more if your fill hole isn't centered or loosed the retainer and center it.
I have the same setup, but never thought about the grip tape which I will be buying in a couple of hours.
Thanks for the idea!
Gotta love a happy ending!
Just wait until you hit the north GA mountains in the sling. That's when you will really smile.
Congrats again and can't wait to ride with you guys! tenor (2).gif
Slopoke you know you wanna!
You know me well sir!!!!!!!!
Sheree202 congrats on finding the new ride!
I did the same thing with the big red bow when I surprised my wife.
If you don't get your Bow in time ping me, I still have that massive sucker in one of my closets that you can have. After your hubbys B-day we all need to get together for a ride up in Helen.
On a side note I know it's short notice, but you should also look into doing Maggie Valley this year. Only 70 miles or so from us and a great way to see most of the people on this forum, and to spend money on mods
Congrats again and welcome to the fun!
I was hoping not to purchase this old of a model, but miles are low and it seems well maintained. I see it has saddlebags, but I've heard people complain that they don't work well. What do y'all think would be a good offer?
14.5k MAX and yes, those bags are known to pop open on the highway.
Supposedly the newer models have resolved this, but I know 2 people with them that hate them.
Keep me posted, happy to look at these for you.
Would you be able to check it out for me? I'm getting desperate...the ones online keep selling. I spoke to a salesman at Indian Motorcycle and he said he's never seen them sell like they have been the past couple of months. Hubby's birthday is in 11 days.
Absolutely,
That is where I bought mine. Which one are you looking at? I can meet you there Thur or Fri in the afternoon sometimes.
They are a very legit place from my dealings, but others have had some bad experiences.
