Aww, dude.  See?  You do like me...you REALLY DO like me!

Salty's looks like it could be a fun place to sit and sip a few.  Drink one for me, pls!

From what I can see from your pics, you've got a twin cylinder with dual CV carbs.  It also appears that your fuel petcock is vacuum operated, not manual.  So, there should be a vacuum line that comes from somewhere on the intake manifold, which I believe is the tube you've got your fingers on in Pic#1 and #2.  This vacuum hose is what operates the CV carb diaphragm(s) in the top of the carbs.  There may be one hose (if there is a common rail vacuum for the dual carb set-up, or there may be an identical vacuum line on the second carb which should be joined and routed to a single vacuum source on the intake side of the engine.  The fuel line is the one in Pic#2 at the far left (just left of the throttle cable) that feeds the central common rail gas feed to each carb, and this should be attached to the petcock feed.  There will also be a small diameter vacuum hose that attaches to the small petcock nipple to operate the vacuum diaphragm.  This also typically comes off the intake boots somewhere.

Without any more info or clearer pics of the carbs and intake boots, I'm just guessing...

No ring on the front.  I'm guessing it drives the speedo.

Possibly.  I was under the impression that most of the new bikes speedos were driven off the tranny, thus the need to recalibrate the speedo with a gearing change.

Beautiful bike and well set up.  When you say it's not an ABS model, why is there an ABS sensor ring on the rear rotor?  Do they all come that way, but just not incorporate the electronics and pump hardware for the non-ABS models?  Interested to know if the left front rotor also has an ABS sensor ring...just for shits 'n' giggles.

Out'a curiosity, what are "Spencer" mods?

I need to set up my brake controller on the ridgeline also.

Are there any particular brands to look at, stay away from, or "go too" brands? 

I wasn't sure if you were referring to TTs or the brake controller, but if the latter, I can vouch for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3.  It's a proportional controller so it sends increasing currents to the trailer the harder you brake.  Mounts at just about any angle (doesn't need to be flat mounted), programmable voltage output for different weight loads, has menus for single axle/dual axle/tri-axle set-ups, all electric or electric-over-hydraulic systems, and a manual control.  Been in my Ford F150 for at least 5-6 years and not a single glitch.

it might sell quick if you have a tailor modify it.

Exactly the dilemma I was talking about.  What the hell do you do with the damn thing when you get...ahhh...caught short on the road?

Black with silver accents, Goretex and textile construction, size 44R, BOD 3/19/92 (yes, you read that right). I'm 5'11" (going on 5'10") and 205-210# (going on 215) and it fits perfectly in the legs, sleeves, and body, but I doubt I'd say that if I were 1" taller and 5# heavier. No crash damage, has armor in shoulders/elbows/knees. All zips, snaps and Velcro tabs are intact and functional, although a couple of the front Velcro closures are showing some minor fraying. Cleaned, albeit a bit dusty from hanging in the closet, from a smoke-free house (in the spirit of full disclosure, we have a dog, but she's never worn it to my knowledge).

This should bring @MeefZah back to OH from the great state of CA pretty quickly.  What the hell are they thinking?

Welcome.  Not as many OR folk located in SW Ohio, but you're in the right location to have a short roll for some of the best twisties within a 3 hour ride:  northern KY!  Can't say there are many active Cincy forums for riders, but the first one comes to mind is Assfault Junkies. Many of the hardcore riders have transitioned to either 100% track or boring adulthood-with-wife-n-child.  You could join some of FB groups if you haven't sworn off Zuckerberg yet:  Cincinnati Café Racers is prolly the most active, and the folks you meet will drag you into other groups.  Every Saturday morning 8-12 is an informal meet for cars and bikes at Fuel Coffee Riverside Dr in eastern Cinti.  Good weather will make for a big crowd.  Every Tuesday 5:30-??? is bike night at the Comet on Hamilton Ave in Northside.  Eclectic mix of old guys and hipsters with a good craft beer selection, huge burritos and a surly waitstaff.  Last Thursday of the month is Euro bike night in downtown Milford.  More old guys, hipsters and posers.  Will get going this month if weather is good.  I won't bother outlining the QSL bike night info for the Colerain/Milford locations--get it online.  Chrome, slash-cut pipes, leather tassels and get-back whips and tons of drunk guys who can't ride fer sheit.

I'll keep you in mind if I post up a ride going into the KY boonies.

Dude, the only people left on this board are computer nerds and us Bubby's. If you want $12 an hour laborers, you need to go to asphalt junkies. 

Ouch.  Harsh, dude.  I think the vast majority of them have actually grown up and become productive citizens.  The only other target audience here on OR is old guys with a work ethic living on a fixed income, but I ain't driving to Akron for $12/hr....IJS

As an FYI for the SW OR folks, there's a Moto-GP viewing party at the Northside Yacht Club, 4227 Spring Grove Ave,  Cinti OH 45223, every Sunday race day thru the season.  Moto 3 at 12 PM, Moto 2 at 1 PM, MotoGP at 2 PM.  Usually a core group of the CCR crew there.  Supposed to be 50s and sunny!!!

Brian:  'Em ar sum purdy roads!  I've got an '09 Weestrom sixfiddy that I do a lot of backroad bashing on; I've upgraded the forks with RT springs and Gold valves, and swapped the rear for a DL1000 shock that raises the rear about 1/2" over stock and is a bit less susceptible to getting 'flabby' when it gets hot.  Yours looks like the ride is pretty settled and plush when the going gets bumpy.  Just wondered what set-up you are running?  I've got Shinko 804/805s mounted now--what tires are you using?

Oh, and since this is OR and it's still winter, what oil do you recommend? ;o)

Video from NKY last weekend.  Not quite as rural as your route:  

OMG!  Did NOT need to see those pics with my coffee this morning....never would'a guessed that could happen.  1 in a million...

Folks love to bash H-D's, but they're no better or worse than any other motorcycle.

They're big, heavy, expensive cruisers that do a credible job of doing what they were designed to do.

I'd prolly have one in my bike stable if my wallet and my garage were up-sized.

Da fuq?

and make sure the passenger isn't a felon

 

do you have your licence? my class allowed you to come back for the legal part updates and submit questions.

Meh.  I'm old.  I stopped dating and hanging out with felons a long time ago...

I do have my license and plan on stopping in to the training center to ask this question.

As I understand it, If the loaded firearm is accessible by a non-CHL person in the vehicle, it’s an F-4 felony offense in Ohio.

If everyone in the vehicle does not have a CHL, make sure you have the firearm secured in a holster on your person under your control, or at least placed somewhere inaccessible to the non-CHL person (e.g. you are driving and you have the firearm in the driver’s door storage compartment).   Not a perfect solution, but better than the glove box or center console.

Do not leave a loaded firearm in an unlocked glove box or in the center console if the non-CHL person can access those areas easily.  If you lock it in the glovebox make sure the non-CHL person doesn’t have a key to open it. 

I have my CHL, as does my wife and adult son, so for us it’s not an issue unless there is someone else in the vehicle.  

 

 

Thanks.  This is what I 'feared' when I recently went on a long 14-hour non-stop road trip and didn't want to have the firearm on my waistband with the complication of a seat belt.  After I thought about it for a bit, I took the mag out of the Glock and stored it with extra in the trunk, but of course that makes carry for defensive purposes a moot point.  I guess I'll have to look at other carry options for situations like this.

I'm specifically interested in a clarification on what rules apply when carrying in a vehicle with other passengers, who may NOT be CC licensed.

If I have it holstered on my body, I assume there is not an issue.

Are there rules that address having it stored in the vehicle, say the center console, while driving or riding as a passenger when there are one or more persons in the vehicle?

Presumably this would come into question if there is an issue where the firearm is perceived to be NOT under my control.

Thanks, and I hope this doesn't sound stupid...

Hey, pls don't judge us by our football team or our streetcar system. :<) The motorcycle community here is pretty chill...even in the summer!

Great show and great beer, but yer right--prolly not worth driving 4 hours OW to see.  There's a few OR folks that lurk in the SW Ohio region.
