    Probably the 1000th "I need a louder horn thread"

    I really like the Screaming Banshee: Amazon.com 132dB is a realistic number - although probably measured a bit closer than the 1 meter usually used in pro audio specs. As sound, like any other radiation in a free field, dissipates according to the inverse square law if a horn measures 132 at...

    Viking Saddle bags?

    I've had Viking bags for years and always had good luck with them. The included mounting brackets are a little dodgy, but I've always been able to make them work with a few bucks worth of bolts from the good hardware store. After a mishap at the carwash where some subhuman left a bunch of latex...

    Bike is coming out of storage, what should I focus on?

    If I had money, I'd be trying to buy it from you 'cuz I think the older ones a way cooler than the new generation. I always suffered with changing brake fluid and bleeding until I found this little gem from Hazard Fright. It's designed for autos, and can be used by one person by putting the...

    Harley Jiffy stand project

    I used to have Suzuki 1500LCs that had quite a lean when on the side stand. The Haynes manual was perfect for leveling it out for maintenance.

    "Won't start" hat trick!

    That's a good trick to have up my sleeve. Currently, diagnosis is paused while the bike is operating as normal. they use the same relay for starter, fuel pump, and ecu don't they? I've had the fuel pump just go bad, and now this is acting suspiciously. I may just get a spare and keep it in the...

    Want to replace horn

    I've been using the Screaming Banshee and love it. It has it's own relay built in, it just needs to connect to the horn button and direct to the battery. Quick easy install - tucks right under the left side cover - which muffles it a bit, but you can leave the factory horn cover in place for...

    "Won't start" hat trick!

    Oh, I really hate it when this happens. Went out to start troubleshooting. Started to take the side panels off, got the bolts out of the right one and thought I'd check to see if I could hear the started solenoid with the seat off. I couldn't hear it over the engine firing right up. Nothing...

    "Won't start" hat trick!

    Got it downloaded - just waiting on the cable to cross the pond. Is there an easy way to tell if the headlight relay mod has been installed? And, if not, where can I find one? Also, would the light be on if that was the failure point? joe

    "Won't start" hat trick!

    I doubt it has the relay. How would I be able to tell? Was that an aftermarket mod, or a factory update? I tried to download the software, but got a "You don't have permission to view this page" message. Thanks, Joe

    "Won't start" hat trick!

    Usually, but didn't expect to be down this long. Even so, when it happened a couple weeks ago, once it came to life, it fired up as soon as the starter engaged. I'll check the voltage though, and try a jump. The PO had lost the cable and, since the bike runs perfectly, I never bothered messing...

    "Won't start" hat trick!

    Pretty sure no - I'll pull the seat off to verify, but I didn't hear anything at all.

    "Won't start" hat trick!

    And just when my car is down. Haven't been able to ride much but went to start the '05 Classic yesterday and it powered up, needles danced, fuel pump whirred, but no joy when I hit the start switch. Not so much as a click, and the lights didn't go out. It did this once last time I rode it - I...

    Ever wish you stripped out your threads? Diff drain bolt POS

    Years ago and a bunch of bikes back, I was passing the time of day with the neighbor when he commented "I guess the bike's been running good." I looked at slightly perplexed "... yeah, not bad..." "I haven't heard you out here cussing lately."

    Horn change

    I've had Screaming Banshee for awhile and really like it: Amazon.com. I've forgotten the details, but I mounted it under a sidecover (it's muffled a little bit that way, but still loud as heck). Very simple install.

    Leather Jackets....

    I thought my washing machine was shrinking my clothes. When I wouldn't fit in my leather jacket, I realized the refrigerator was to blame, not the washer.

    Good God that's a beautiful bike!

    A couple years ago, I was doing car photos at a meetup at a botanical garden. When it got slow, I pulled the Rocket over and shot some pics: Rocket at Powell Gardens
