  1. Returning member

    Thanks for the welcome, guys. My old user name was either Barzeen or theBarzeen I can't remember. I wish I could keep the cop-glide for the long trips and just get a roadster for around town, but... although as a teacher I get good riding time, it'd take me a decade to pay off both...

  2. Returning member

    I was a member here for a few years while I was riding my 2005 R3... My wife and I both teach, so, without kids to worry about we started going on longer and longer summer rides. The last few have been around a month long in addition to the usual motorcycle pilgrimages like US129 etc... That...

  3. Bike is running H-O-T !!!

    pretty sure my jardines aren't ceramic coated as the headers have rust on them...... either that or they have the cheapest ceramic coating you can buy in a rustoleum spray can...... I've even entertained the idea of getting a harley for my upcoming trip because they put off less heat........ if...

  4. Bike is running H-O-T !!!

    I'm riding a 2005 with jardines, stock air filter, TOR tune, secondaries removed....... and I can't believe the amount of heat that comes off of this thing........ I spent a few days on a loaner harley while my bike was broken ( TPS ) and even that put off less heat sitting in traffic...

  5. Another High Idle thread - geezzz

    My bike was doing the EXACT same thing up until last week....... it would do fine until it got good and warm then the idle would stick somewhere between 1300 and 2300....... no codes were thrown, crank sensor was cleaned, no vacuum lines were loose...... I'm the 2nd owner of a 2005...... my...

  6. erratic idle

    " forgive me father for I am sinning........ right....... now........" so seriously, I agree that this sounds like a TPS issue, but before I go throwing money at it I figured I'd ask around since I would think that a faulty TPS would throw a code ???

  7. MPG

    103 miles to 4.3 gallons ........ this thing only gets 3 or 4 mpg better than my Dodge 2500 with the Cummins motor! now there's a thought for a Boss Hoss...... 5.9 cummins with an intake, exhaust and programmer making ~390 hp and 750+ ft lb of torque.........

  8. erratic idle

    I tried placing my hand on the headlights and yelling " devil be gone!" ..... results inconclusive..... and Owl, which of those will cause no codes to be thrown?

  9. erratic idle

    last week I started having problems with my idle.... the bike will start normally, ride normally, but after the bike has warmed up some and especially after a few minutes of riding at one throttle position ( keeping at 2800 rpm for example) the idle will do one of two things...... it'll...

  10. Fork Springs-Hagon vs Prog. Suspension

    at 300# I get a nice, pleasant wallow from my stock set-up..... sorta like a boat on a lake, or driving an old continental.......

  11. sissy bar and rack

    That's one heck of a nice rack.......

  12. Trailer Size to haul 2 bikes

    I was wrestling with this for the last year as my old FJ wasn't the greatest to tow with....... sold the FJ, purchased a Dodge 2500 crew cab with a Cummins Diesel.... kinda want to put the bikes on a 35 foot gooseneck just because I can

  13. Seat Cushion advice needed

    The real solution is a custom seat.... the stock saddle is shaped just right to slide you forward or force you to sit right on the bone...... last year I made pretty good due on my 3500 mile trip with an unpadded sheepskin and a towel.... I folded the towel and put it under the sheepskin...

  14. touring luggage

    the setup that worked best for me was just throwing a duffle bag back there and ratchet-tie-down-ing everything in place....... cost: free

  15. Back rest

    is it really that much better than just leaning back on your luggage?

  16. Question on the Odessey PC-625 battery

    kind of a dumb question... but I keep hearing about a charger for these.... can I just use my old battery tender or do I need something new?

  17. $350 Stainless steel muffler

    That might be a fun project to try this winter...... hmmmmm

  18. are my Jardines getting louder?

    +1 I was almost sad when I moved to my new house and found that I had really cool neighbors.....

  19. are my Jardines getting louder?

    it's not getting louder, you're just getting older :lol:
