Well Y'all, About noon today I got a call from the local police department telling me my shop building had a minor fire, but the fire dept. got it put out ok. Apparently my 3/8 drill shorted out and started the fire on my wood workbench. Lots of smoke damage, but minor structural. My next door...

I am running a pma charging system with small battery and a ultimate pamco kit from Mikes. It all performed flawlessly for over 1000 miles, and as I was riding to the house one day at lunch the bike dropped one cylinder, and then within 1/4 mile shut down. After getting the bike hauled back...

Last year I did the permanant magnet alternator swap. On Friday, my charging system failed. :shrug: I found a thread on how to test a regulator/rectifier, and it tested ok. Do you test the stator wires using a volt/ohm meter....each of the three wires unplugged from harness, individually...

I have a new full face arrow, and cringe at the idea of spending what Bell wants for a replacement shield. I like the changing tint ones, and the one way mirror look ones. Any aftermarket sources? or super deals on genuine Bell repl. shields?

Yesterday, I was cruising down 6th Street in Amarillo at 25 mph in a 30 mph zone, at fairly low rpm....where a lot of the bike people hang out. Mostly Harleys of course. There are signs posted about noise laws strictly enforced. LOTS of straight piped Harleys were cruising down 6th as I am...

I really like the look, and would like to get about 2 sq. ft. Just wondered where ya get it. It has to be fairly common as much of it ya see used lately...

I am doin a permanant magnet charging system, and the flywheel is rusty. Theres a lot of stuff (flakey rust mostly) stuck to the magnets on the inside of the flywheel. I have it a lot cleaner than it was, but there is still small stuff on it. I have used compressed air, and wiped it with a...
