I'm with you...maybe sit and have a beer with the guy. Sounds like a city situation where you nod at each other, maybe a smile and wave...but not a Hi Xxxx, how are you doing today? Do you need help with that new deck... Yada Yada. 3 years of stalking and pics. Maybe after that amount of time he...

I made one back when I had my TL1000... The right size pipe to fit the diameter, then zip cut the sections out (leaving your drive pins to fit in the nut). I welded a nut on the end of the pipe so I could use a socket BUT you could just use a pipe wrench. They usually aren't overly tight as the...

...you're good to go! ??

Thumbs up on the new site Paul, and the GTAM Team...took me a few visits before I realized I wasn't signed in , then had messages to respond to. New world problems eh...lol Thanks again for your hard work!

To answer the last part of your question...not sure of OEM on your bike but if its 16-43 and you go (-1 +2) to a 15-45 you will be approx 10% below displayed reading (assuming your signs are backwards as I did by mistake earlier...lol). Speedo and Odo will be 10.4% higher than actual...

Tripletrouble got me curious on my math and why I was off (so much for my sleep today)...was +5 on the rear and -1 on the front (16 not 17% sorry). First gear was absolutely useless on my 954RR? with that set-up. My youngest would be thrown around like a bull rider behind me on takeoff at the...

LOL...midnight shift brain. You are correct Tripletrouble. Signs were reversed...and remembering from 5 or 6 years ago. My bad. I just know when I'm riding, if I was 15 to 20% over on the speedo I was still good to go.

Yep...lowers the value of the bike as far as displayed Kms on the odometer for sure. On a newer bike, may mean a lot for resale. On an older bike, resale is shite anyways. I just wasn't concerned enough to worry about it. Personal preference.

I then verified by GPS as well as speed matching the wifes car?

I had a similar setup when I got my bike from previous owner...did calculation to figure it was off 17%. Was quite a few years ago so I cant remember the details...I just had to remember my speedo was almost 20% high as a safety factor when I saw the Popo?

Quick and fairly cheap to try 1 down in the front...fun factor. Think you can get one for under $25. Pulled better.

Ahh yes...last years Harley Ultra (steel belt conversion kit) To add to the conversation though...I had a couple of the same bike. I went down 1 in the front. Pulled well and didnt feel like a knob running around town at 11000 rpm. Try to change just the drive first...you can always do the...

My thoughts are that the longer you wait, the less forgiving they will be. I realize they don't have to "deal" with you...you signed a binding contract. Here is a little twist... Maybe they are honoring YOUR contract and have had guys call to purchase your machine at a the non-show higher price...

I agree with this 100%...my wife complains about her job quite often. I am quick to remind her that she makes very good money, with that money she is able to do the things she loves to do. We are just trading time here at work, for money for the things that make us happy. (time with family doing...

Agree 100%, however I have had nothing but luck with my Ariens from Home Depot!
