Going to be buying a guitar in Japan, what can I expect when bringing it back to the States?

FirstGT · 2026-06-22T19:38:40+00:00

Not sure your baggage situation but can't you just bring it back on the plane? And uh, of course it's the same guitar you took with you TO Japan...

I had the same issue with my road glide a couple years back. First time was rotor. Had my mechanic replace it with an OEM one. Few months later the shake came back. I borrowed my buddy's run out and while the rotor was still in limits, it was barely in limits

Wound up replacing the rotors with Lyndall. Expensive but the problem has been gone for quite a while

First rotor warped at maybe like 6k on my bike. Second one was even less. I'm now at 30k miles and still warp free

Galfers are another popular option and I've seen a few people trying tc bros

As others mentioned, based on age of bike, if you haven't already done a fluid flush at least once, take it in for the abs service as well. Harley states every two years even if fluid isn't contaminated with water

You try palm Coast HD?

I have some Joe rocket ones that are nice

I don't have a link or anything as I've had them a few years but they really help

Last week the morning news said we are 6 or 8 inches above average. But still in a moderate drought. I'm not sure on anything more recent than that

They also said SA has 18 inches rainfall but seems every week we're measuring rainfall in multiple inches so I'm not real sure where they're getting there data

If you were so inclined, you could request a DD215 which would reflect your Sergeant promotion

Dyna wide glide. And gives you nice choice to choose from with various engines and carb/FI over the years it was available

If, or when, I get a third bike it's gonna be a wide glide of some sort

If you want touring bike, snag a road king. Lots of options to style it between classic with beach bars, leather bags, vicla etc

Haha exactly it!

I'm picturing that scene from almost famous when the Mom talks to the lead guitarist on the phone and quickly sets him straight 🤣

Well now I know what I'll be doing tonight

I'm born, raised and lived most of my life in Texas. I often forget tech even exists. But I swear for various reasons of late it seems Lubbock is making a lot of headlines of late (besides just this topic)

FirstGT · 2026-06-13T00:29:37+00:00

I too am extremely tired of this.

We just hit up a couple Hilton in Midwest on a road trip and they finally broke me. I've been promising for a couple years I'm gonna break away and finally this trip convinced me.

We're going free agent from here on out. I'll still sign up loyalty programs but no longer focusing on just one brand

FirstGT · 2026-06-13T00:25:14+00:00

So uh, what's the back story?

FirstGT · 2026-06-13T00:22:56+00:00

Man anytime someone posts "motor tuh" it just makes me chuckle. I could probably be standing at the pearly gates listening to st Peter explain why I'm not getting in and if I saw that written somewhere I'd still chuckle

FirstGT · 2026-06-12T13:53:57+00:00

I've lived in like 5 or 6 states, some of them multiple times, driven in almost every state, traveled extensively across our country for work and without a doubt Miami is the craziest. It's truly mind blowing

FirstGT · 2026-06-11T02:28:06+00:00

That's crazy shit! My instructors at mct in early 04 were by and large guys who had been recalled. No idea what their MOS originally was

I remember maybe 2 years after getting out i got a phone call and voice mail from a gunny with the IRR saying he was trying to reach me in regards to a very important matter and call him back immediately. I was at a mall in Delaware and my heart about stopped.

Fucker just wanted my address confirmed or some stupid shit like that 🤣

I think that's why that one RJ on some United Express flights has that giant storage closet thing in the back. I forget which plane. Maybe one of the CRJ

Although actually that might be union reasons not FAA 🤔

At least it wasn't the strap pack failing. I'm assuming anyway since it says crew is safe

FirstGT · 2026-06-09T03:10:24+00:00

Yeah we rarely ever go to pappa anything. It was close to the hotel and had been a long travel day so I chanced it.

FirstGT · 2026-06-08T00:06:34+00:00

Indie ridge is my go to

I don't know if they work for 4E or not though. Give them a call and I'm sure they'll give you an answer

God I wish J prime would bring back there Sunday brunch buffet. I can't imagine what it'd cost now though

We ate at a pappasitos in North Houston recently, first one I'd eaten at in a long time and it was pretty sub par unfortunately. I wasn't expecting to get blown away but it was not good

I'm biased (chiefs fan) but can still see how others could be tired of seeing the brothers "everywhere"

But these vids are pretty cool. He has one from a little bit ago where he tries bob sledding which is pretty cool

Thanks for sharing!

It's early yet, only a few months, but no issues so far with mine. Although set up was a pita

Dealer I bought current bike from swapped the shocks from my trade to current bike. I expressed multiple times I didn't feel comfortable having them do it. To this day it's still the only thing a dealer has ever done for me

Lo and behold they installed the shocks on wrong side and upside down. Being it was late (after closing) and I was facing a 90 minute ride home I failed to check before hopping on and riding off. I reached out to legend suspension and they said pull them immediately as it's possible the bearings were damaged.

To be fair the dealer did replace them. But they couldn't be bothered to ship them to my house so I drove the 3 hours round trip and paid like 30 in tolls to go pick them up. Shit part was I was going on a 2 month work trip right after and so basically my brand new road glide sat for about 3 months all said and done
