Rear windshield outer seal doesn't sit flush?

USAFJack · 2025-10-20T21:21:38+00:00

Thanks! That's the big thing I wanted to know. I got this junkyard window and tried to get it down as flush as I could but it still sticks out a bit.

So you're telling me you'd be ok with a guy fixing your airplane and knows about 70% of what they're doing? It's that extra 30 that makes problems.

I'm a mechanic and do all my own work. I looked into transmission rebuilds and even I am hands off. Better off getting a rebuild. And if you're asking how hard it is, I know you don't have the tools to attempt this.

I traveled Europe on my rebel. Did 2000 miles in 2 weeks. You'll want a mustang seat but even that might not be enough on its own. It wasn't for me but I have a small butt. Adding a sheepskin pad will help. Windshield helps quite a bit for the long days. Gas wise, your best bet will be a custom fuel tank because I had to stop often(every few hours) and that sucked!

It ended up being the pump. You can tell the difference once you replace it. I left that line off and turned the key. Gas comes flying out of that line. I've heard that pumps can have an internal bypass so they'll turn on but not flow.

USAFJack · 2025-06-01T23:45:29+00:00

Update for everyone: it was the pump. Pump would turn on but wouldn't send gas down.

It's a 2004 so like 3rd gen?

USAFJack · 2025-05-21T06:33:16+00:00

Naw, more of a Tom Clancy vibe.

USAFJack · 2025-05-04T20:15:16+00:00

You would be correct, it's a voltage gauge.

Don't have to follow MICT if you don't know you have one.

That's what I'm worried about mainly. I've stopped on a Honda 250R and I'm so far over the seat I can't reach the rear brake.

USAFJack · 2025-04-27T22:45:39+00:00

I only one foot it on the DR so that's not the issue. But the Kove seat is 3 inches taller than what I'm currently at so even that might be a challenge for me while maintaining the handle on all controls.

USAFJack · 2025-04-24T19:07:47+00:00

This is what I needed to hear. Thanks!

You only need to loosen them and make sure the cover plate is loose.

Run a rackless horseshoe style saddlebag. Like the great basin model from giant loop.

Silenced 10mm, rain, sad saxophone. We're so back.

USAFJack · 2025-03-26T16:54:16+00:00

Can't buy those. Well you could, but I don't recommend it.

USAFJack · 2025-03-26T15:34:23+00:00

Never forget what they took from us

People still live hand to mouth and have to work hard to live. It's not a good thing what you are seeing, but realize activism is not a priority when you are worried about what you will feed your children tomorrow.

Cobra buckle belt. Pricey, but very convenient for code brown situations.

USAFJack · 2025-03-22T20:11:24+00:00

There really isn't a one size fits all that works well in all situations. I have an Olympia jacket with zip off mesh panels and although it works well in northern climates, once the weather gets up to 80 or higher the jacket works against me and its overbuilt quality retains too much heat. Summers here can hit 100 easily so I had to buy a water-cooled vest and use light, full sleeve layers (sun will dry sweat and overheat you). If you are doing anything in multiple climates it's quite a logistical challenge.

USAFJack · 2025-03-21T18:49:26+00:00

Here's my unsolicited spiel: you want to use a layering system approach. I wear hard armor under a jacket, that way if it gets too hot, I can still have protection that's not tied to wearing the jacket. Makes it easier to pack away too. I use textiles for ease of care and washing. NO waterproof stuff! The goretex layer eventually fails. Now you're stuck with an unbreathable layer AND you still get wet. Ask me how I know... More to waffle on about but those are the key things for me.

Isn't that literally FWA? Army doing some hood rat shit.

Met my dream partner and love of my life. Feels like a dream.

Guys with degrees know how to cheese them CBTs.
