sorry, duplicate posting. could not figure out how to delete, only edit.

I am thinking of adding phat ll risers on Thor but I read there might be a problem with clearance because the gauge nacelle is pretty far forward because of the ignition location. Has anyone put them on their bike and did they work? Thanks for the help. DJ

Have any of y'all seen the new Victory Hammer. Go here to check out the rear light if you can see it. http://www.victorymotorcycles.com Click on the hammer section, then the photogrophy section. I want someone to make this for the Meanie!!! Of course a license plate relocator, and different...

To baffle or not to baffle? that is the question i am asking. I have an 03 1600 vulcan, Cobra Lo-Boy Shotgun pipes. Just wondered how they would sound un corked. On a side note, I took a ride today and my baby started to sputter, fuel light was on, it sputtered a couple of seconds and then started...

The oil leak on my 03 meanie with 1600 miles has been diagnosed by the shop manager at the dealership to be coming from the base gasket of one of the heads and was quoted $1000 for the gaskets to be fixed (thats both heads). I'm pretty mad because I just bought the bike from a dealer back home...

I ordered a throttle boss for my ISO grips, so I decided to go ahead and get the stiletto end caps at the same time. Wow, do they look great! Kurykyn makes such nice stuff. I had to put the catalog away so I wouldn't look at it and be tempted to order something else. I need to save my money for...

I haven't been on for awhile, and just wanted to say Hello to everyone and say I missed you guys.

I just got back from going out for a little ride tonite. Not too far, just blasted up the highway for a bit to blow out the cobwebs. It was a little chilly all day, but the sun was out so I was really looking forward to a ride. I tell you, I love riding, even if it's cold. I don't even need to...

Leather or Textile?

Since the weather is bad and my odometer says its time, I decided to spend my weekend giving my bike some TLC. Changed the oil and filter, pulled the oil pump screen, changed out the final drive oil, cleaned and reoiled my K&N filter, pulled and inspected the plugs (with my just remembered...

I want to change the sprocket(s) on my gal's VLX600. It is only a four speed and I want to re-gear it for better highway riding. Which way do I need to go, and with which (or both) sprockets?? And at what size change point would i need to change the chain also? Any help would be greatly...

Do they make one for the Mean Streak? I've looked all over on the web, including www.clymer.com and don't see one listed.

Here's another one... On my '96 1500 classic, under moderate to hard breaking, the oil light and the water temp lights come on for a few seconds and then turn off. I bought my bike from a private seller, and he didn't include a manual with it, so I don't know if this is normal or not. Can anyone...

The MS bars put you in a little more forward lean position. It's not that uncomfortable but an inch or two back would be perfect. What's anybody done for this, if anything? Cruiser Customizing has some risers from Kewl Metal they say are back 2 inches but down 10 degrees from stock. Have to...

Hey fellow Nomad owners, Anybody have these?(see pic) I just got these dropped off by the big brown truck today. I ordered them from Ron Green online for an excellent price (189.00). They seem to be pretty good construction. The only part that I'm not sure about is the part that the logo is...

Can someone please help? I have a '96 1500 classic. She runs beautifully, but when cornering at freeway speeds (on-ramps, off ramps, etc.) the bike starts to wobble. The faster the speed the greater the wobble. Any ideas as to why it does this? Thanks!

Had a small mishap and shattered the backside of my front fender (2002 Drifter 1500). An entire chunk of fender is now missing. I suppose my options here are fairly limited. Get a new fender from the dealer, or search the online auctions. However, I do have one question. While the Drifter fenders...

What's the one accessory you've added to your bike (something that did not come installed from the factory) that you've gotten the most out of? It dosen't matter about the cost or whether it's for performance, looks, safety, convenience, or pride. I'll start it off with the "Throttle...

Any one else noticed in the Metric Cruiser magazine on the stand now that it list the 05 800 classic as shaft drive.The magazine has 44 cruisers and thier specs.This must be a misprint.The dealer here only has an 04 on the floor.Also wondering if anyone has an e-mail address for gadget.I'm still...
