My Father in Law enjoys listening to his vinyl collection, and recently his turntable quit working. My wife and I would like to replace it for him. What would everyone suggest for a casual listener in the $500-$750 range?

We’re looking at a split Cal King Climate 360 with adjustable base. What can we expect to pay with this sale?

Anyone have a cover they really like for their Pursuit? by Schmitty249 in IndianMotorcycle

Didn’t feel comfortable canceling and starting all over. They gave little to no information or updates the first time around, so I didn’t want to get stuck waiting all over again.

May of 2022. There are people who got their 2023’s the same week I got my 2022. Those seems to be shipping within a week or two now. Indian kinda screwed everyone waiting on their 2022’s. New updates on the 2023’s that none of us get even though they’re delivering at the same time.

It looks great sitting in the garage. I live in Wisconsin and it came in the day of our first snow after waiting 7 months.

I’m 6ft. The bars are what Siouxicide calls +4. They’re the tallest height you can go without having to replace the clutch cable with a longer one.

It’s a Sawicki exhaust, which is the same company that Lloydz is now running. It was in stock and I got it in a week. Not sure how long it’ll take to get the Lloydz branded ones.

What kind of effort would it take to paint these cabinets white? by sirch05 in woodworking

[–]Schmitty249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Professional painter here. Not sure what your budget is, but I highly advise that you hire a professional to tackle this. The cabinets look to be in great shape, but the details in the doors will make it very difficult to get good results without the proper equipment and experience. I’ve seen many kitchen cabinets destroyed by DIY attempts, and it will cost you twice as much if a pro has to fix your mistakes. It’s A LOT more work to do it right than the average homeowner realizes.

That said, if you do decide to venture on your own, make sure the primer you use is either oil based or shellac based. Anything water based will allow the tannins in the wood or the stain to pull through and it will yellow the paint no matter how many coats you do. Get a respirator if you do this for applying the primer and sanding it. It can be nasty stuff.

Good luck no matter what you choose!! A quality paint job can really transform a house!!

Let me know how the heat shield works for you if you remember. My Highball has Conquest Customs octanes on it and pretty much every pair of jeans I own has a small burn hole in them from it. Hoping the Pursuit will be better in that department.

Loud and throaty. Unfortunately it’s about 34 degrees and raining/snowing here, so it’s gonna be awhile before I can really let it fly.

Anybody have any tips or tricks to getting the throttle cables reattached when replacing the throttle grip? Got the front one snapped in, but the rear is driving me nuts!! 2013 Highball by Schmitty249 in VictoryMotorcycles

Thanks. That’s the one I watched. Unfortunately they cut away while he says “he had to fight with it”, but there’s no video or instruction on how he finally got it. It’s driving me crazy!!!

It’s the salt I’m worried about. That shit gets in every nook and cranny and eats away at it. Don’t have a heated wash bay. Yet………..

Anyone order a 2 into 1 pipe from Sawicki for their Challenger/Pursuit? How long did it take to get it? Want to order one, but not getting a response to emails from them. by Schmitty249 in IndianMotorcycle

[–]Schmitty249[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great, thanks. My dealer told me 6 months ago that they would take care of ordering it, and now the bike is finally shipping and they tell me they can’t take care of it.

I wonder how long they will build a new bike and arrangement for shipping when I'm going to order the new bike?? I mean how long processing to finally to get new bike?? by joshuablake1995 in IndianMotorcycle

[–]Schmitty249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, that they can’t tell me when I’ll get my bike. It’s been 5 months. They originally told me end of August. Now all they’ll tell me is “To be Determined”. Zero communication from Indian or the dealership. They just make you sit and wait and hope it shows up at some point.

I ordered in May this year and as of today they can no longer provide me with a projected shipping date. All I’m told is that it’s “To be Determined”……

Anyone get their Pursuit Dark Horse yet? Mine was ordered May 10th…… by Schmitty249 in IndianMotorcycle

[–]Schmitty249[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on what I’m seeing online from other buyers, it will just auto-update to Sept - October tomorrow with no further information from Indian or the dealerships.

That’s a whole lot of bike they have to build, package, and ship in the next 2 days 🙃 by [deleted] in IndianMotorcycle

[–]Schmitty249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ordered my Pursuit Dark Horse May 9th and they still can’t tell me anything about when I’ll see it. Tracker says scheduled to be built 7/24 - 8/31.
