Had a great ride on Saturday to Bill's Old Bike Barn in Bloomsburg, PA with my friends from American Legion Riders Post 143. About 200 miles round trip. What an amazing place! Every square inch of this multi-level museum is covered in old stuff. Motorcycles are just one of the many, many collections. He has collected just about anything you can think of. Here are just a few of the many pictures I took yesterday.

Saturday 4/30 I'm having Best Buy install the Viper 3305V with proximity sensor, tilt sensor and back-up battery.

Thanks for the info @airoutlaw will have to look at mine tonight while I'm fixing the coolant leak at the back, lower area of the engine.

I noticed someone lurking on this forum. Welcome @pigmanfu don't be bashful your among friends

Welcome aboard to all the new vendors! With the popularity of this place I'm sure there will be many more to follow.

PM me with what you want to remove and I'll walk you through it.... No Video yet.

Thanks @Painter will do.

Cycle Springs has one. It is the insulation install video

Thank you, I'll see if I can find that too!

@Painter just finished watching all of your videos, very informative, thank you. Do you have a video, or do you know of one, that shows how to remove the dash and surrounding trim panels?

I ain't scared...

Driving that beast you evidently have no fear at all

Did you build it yourself ?, does it go on water ? Are quite common ones I get.

I've had both those question too. I guess the people of Walmart don't just hang out at Walmart.

I just keep watching those dyno videos over and over awesome sound from that setup. Does the frame require much, dare I say, stiffening to handle that much torque?

You're doing really good @Guardian_Angel. I've driven manuals for most of my driving career and when I first got the SS I still had to learn how to shift it. Each vehicle is a little different. @devonpam I think that the SS, mine at least, requires a more aggressive shifting style to be smooth.

Making progress

That is awesome work. I'll bet @Tango is just beside himself in anticipation! Like a child at Christmas.

Most of my posts still have the edit, delete & report options, but not the ones in the thread titled,
"Admins and site owners please read and consider this."
Only report is available there.

Already exists - it's called Marketplace. Check options up top...

@Tripod I know I'm getting old and don't see as well as I use to, but for the life of me I can't find Marketplace up top.

Thought I would try bringing this thread over from the other place.....

Ever since I installed a detachable steering wheel I've wondered how I could store it safely when off the vehicle. I looked online for steering wheel storage bags and could only find one example made by Grant. I didn't really care for that one because it just looked like a cloth bag that didn't close and let the steering wheel stick out the top.

Then I remembered that I had bought a really nice jumper cable storage bag that was pretty heavy duty, round and zipped completely closed. It is the Bucket Boss #69000.

So I tried it out, but found that it is just a little bit too small to fit my 350mm steering wheel. I'm pretty sure it would work fine if you have a 320mm wheel.

Then I found out Bucket Boss makes a slightly larger version. It's not round and the height and width are about the same as the other, but it is slightly deeper. So I ordered one. It is model #AB30070.

My 350mm steering fits with ease. Now when I remove the wheel I've got a safe place to store it or even take it with me if I want. These are available just about anywhere, Home Depot, Amazon, just do a Google
search. For 15 to 20 bucks or so you can't go wrong. Hope this helps somebody looking to store their steering wheel.

If anyone else has this combo can you post a pic of that area so I can compare it to mine please.
Thanks,

Thanks @gpcustoms

@rabtech you are truly appreciated by this family!

Glad your alright man, the SS can be fixed. Good luck with the parts hunt. I bought this thing thinking it would be better riding in the rain than my Harley, not so sure about that anymore.

Wow... your pipe.... what happened to it
lol, it is a pretty rugged tank... had mine subox about a year now and steve bought one not too long ago cause his joytech variable temp/wattage box quit threading to the tank.
We are down to 6mg.. started off at 24mg. I dnt play with the rebuildable coils, Im not that kind of techy and figure my face has been damaged enough by father time without me exploding a tank in it. you have to know what your doing to build them, I did have a co-worker build me some just to try out the RBG and I was scared really to even try those... lol but I did, and I dont know if it was his wire or what, but they didnt last very long (one day) before they got the burnt taste. I also couldnt turn up the wattage to 20 with those homemade coils... i could only do 12W or so. He may have not known what he was doing either... whichever the case, I just buy the coil at the vape shop. it lasts me about 2 weeks.

I've dropped it a few times, lol. The whole coating is cracking like an egg shell, but it still works like a champ. As far as the rebuild-able coils there's really no chance of them exploding. It's the batteries that are the concern there. I'm still on my first coil after about two weeks, .7 ohms @ 25 watts, nice and smooth.
