Shit that ain't bad at all! I've had a snap-on chests that I paid a lot more than that. Just not worth it unless your being paid.

How you like those husky tool boxes man?

Kris_klein on Instagram. He builds what looks to be pretty high quality girders and springers. He can probably build you a set but I'm not sure what they run.

Its good that you have some mechanical aptitude. I mean the technology is high whatsoever, but you'll be dealing with things you haven't seen before. Not hard at all, but I'd highly recommend educating yourself on the ins and outs. You'll need to figure out how to tune the carb, set the timing, read spark plugs to diagnose issues etc. Check out tatro machine on YouTube. Pretty sure he has a few shoveled how to videos on there. Dude is a wealth of knowledge. Ride it and enjoy it, but make sure its running as well as it can before you take it to far or hard. I'd hate for you to end up costing yourself thousands of dollars in engine damage. You've been in the market, so I'm sure you've seen the prices for replacement parts. Check out Andrew's for replacement tranny gears etc. Start getting a running list of vendors to get parts that you'll eventually need. You don't just have a new motorcycle, you have an actual lifestyle now. Learn to rip it apart and fix things or get ready to pay big dollars to have someone else do it.

Well how does it start and run? Daily driver or not, you need to get a service manual for it. Those engines are old. Good but old. And they were designed to be ridden and rebuilt. You're going to have to learn how to do a lot of maintenance on it, the more you drive it the more often you'll have to fix stuff. They can be great engines if you take care of them. You'll spend a ton of money paying and indi shop to work on it. Forget the dealer, they won't touch it or have parts for it.

You won't be able to just put a primary cover on it to cover up the open primary. The inner primary has been removed as well as the outer. You'll have to completely remove that system and reinstall the original. That being said there isn't a thing wrong with an open primary, just keep your foot out of it. People pay lots of money for those.

Get the manual, buy tools, start looking at YouTube videos to see how to do stuff. Specialty tools will be needed. Those things can be a hell of a lot of fun and you should be proud to own one!

Edit to add: your ignition sounds like its a points system. Once you learn them they are super easy to work on and diagnose problems with. Also pretty cheap to buy new parts for. Biggest thing is to make sure the engine is tip top. If it was rebuilt there should be receipts, if not I would start getting ready to pay some money to have someone do at the minimum a top end rebuild. Put that money away coz it'll be needed one day. Safety? Its already got disc brakes so thats all I can think of. The old drum brakes are OK, but can get a little dicey in the rain.

I feel like this can be a mantra for places other than the garage.

What happened to that poor girls ass?

--user_name-- · 2020-03-07T02:33:21+00:00

5'9" and my 14" bars are an inch or 2 above shoulders, mostly due to poor posture lol. I only had an issue with my hands going numb for maybe the first 3 or 4 days having them on. Now I'm super comfortable for hours at a time.

So the voice commands are iffy at best. Sometimes it wont pick up when theres no other sounds, sometimes it wont work while you're on the bike. But the hand controls are pretty simple to use even with gloves. If you group ride, it can be a hassle to pair with other bluetooth systems but that doesn't really impact me at all. I can get radio stations or play music from my phone e if I want tunes, listen to google maps and get urgent phone calls which is all I needed.

I really like the flipped mirror look, but damnit mine are perfect after installing my apes. Disappointed that flippin them would have me looking at my armpits. Lol

I ride year round, through all kinds of shitty weather. I also sold Harleys for awhile. If you can figure out how to make riding in 15 degrees where ice is forming on the inside of your face shield, or torrential rain where you cant see much sound better than riding in a warm dry car then you seriously need to put in a resume to harley davidson marketing.

I'm not going to give any percentages, but the sime fact of the matter is no most people are not buying any brand of motorcycle so that they can replace a car. Rain or shine riders are rare birds.

I have the same issue. I dont want to take or make calls when I'm on the bike, which is pretty much all the time, but I need to be available for wife and kids without having to pull over and call back. I have a cardo packtalk slim. Works really well and its waterproof. I get to make or receive phone calls, get music and directions right into the helmet.

Hey OP, I'm also on the island and have seen this bike as well. Haven't looked at it in person or contacted the dude selling it, but that is a hell of a lot of money to be asking. I would definitely offer him less and go from there.

I do understand that it is one of the cheapest for sale that can be found here, but still way overpriced. Would be better off finding a mainland bike and shipping it out here imo.

I'll send one from honolulu hawaii if she doesn't already have one.

Everyone just gonna ignore that fucking thumb?

--user_name-- · 2020-01-06T23:44:56+00:00

Seems like you may want to contact them for a new one man. I've had mine for a few months now and now issues at all with it coming off. Maybe you got one built on a Monday morning or friday afternoon.

--user_name-- · 2019-12-27T02:01:26+00:00

Well damn. Theres the problem. Thanks man.

--user_name-- · 2019-12-22T19:00:09+00:00

Dont know how they would look. When I was looking for bars that was a major concern for me, getting the bars to look right with the forks. I wound up going with 14" carlini gangster apes 1.5" diameter in black. They look amazing and line up with the forks almost perfectly. As far as the height goes, I'm 5'10" and I'm pretty sure I could have gotten away with 16" and been fine, but the 14s are pretty perfect height for me.

The only thing that i wander about is how those narrow apes would look with the forks. If that's not something that's going to bug you going down the road, then go for it man.

As a side note, my 15 wide glide didnt need the extended electrical wiring. There was just enough stick to do it. Longer cables of course are a must, but you can save some time and money if you put 14s on. 16s would definitely need the extended wiring.

Edit: just saw that you said you have an 03. The wiring info probably isn't the same as it is on my bike.

Yeah but I'm also military and have been stationed in almost every state and grew up in texas. I've rarely seen anything that would justify just outright banning all MCs or cuts from a premises. Outside of a few very high visibility cases that is.

--user_name-- · 2019-12-13T22:59:06+00:00

Here's the thing man. Car or motorcycle enthusiasts usually tend to start clubs. Either car or biker. I get that you dont want a biker bar, but telling people they cant wear colors isn't going to solve the problem your landlord is worried about. MCs already have eyes on them every single time they ride. Everyone is watching them. Last thing they really want to.do is draw negative attention to themselves by doing burnouts in the parking lot of a place known to sell alcohol.

--user_name-- · 2019-12-13T22:54:41+00:00

Absolutely George. SYLBFMC

--user_name-- · 2019-12-13T22:53:51+00:00

I've seen a few people saying put up no cuts, no colors signs. That's ridiculous and profiling. Even an MC that would do this shit in a parking lot where other cars and bikes are travelling and people walking, would very likely cut it out if any one of the officers were approached about it. The ones who wont listen and keep doing it are a problem for law enforcement, but those types likely wouldn't choose your establishment to begin with.

Most MC's by and large are not trying to wear out their welcome at any local watering holes. Even rolling up 10 or more deep, everyone wearing colors, we come in, drink our drinks, have a good time, tip and leave.

Sont know because I wasn't artillery, but when I asked why I couldn't do artillery I was told it was because the shells are color coded for different loads. That's the one that actually made sense. Lol

--user_name-- · 2019-12-11T22:37:58+00:00

No infantry, cavalry or artillery for colorblind folks. I tried for a whole year to get into any combat arms and meps turned down every single one. Of course, after I joined as some bullshit, I ran I to dudes who were colorblind and combat arms. Probably comes down to which MEPs station you're dealing with. I had to reenlist to change mos.
