May the Angels from Heaven come down and comfort the parents and family of that little Man. Fear not for him as he is in great hands. The parents are whom need all the love and support than can be offered. Now is not the worst time for them but when everyone goes away. You have a wise little one Tim. He is gonna be okay. How does one get thru it? I lost a daughter 10 years ago.It does not get better it just gets a little easier. I'm not looking for any response ... You just never know people. Hugem and lovem as much as you can. Much love and prayers to the family.

http://www.onthethrottle.tv/ This is not a direct answer to your question but if you want to gain some knowledge of suspension go to this site> How to and start going thru the offerings. Lots of good info to be had.Hope it is helpfull.

Yes I have heard of that. what you need to do is get together with your grandparents and create a SafeWord so if it ever happens again they will have a better idea of what is going on.

Advance Auto will read code for free........Just drive up.

Moly 60 paste works. I know people with Wings that have 150-200 thousand miles and no spline issuse.

You could get one of these and open a side business . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiojZ7HfCWo

He probably holds the record on a Wing but not overall .Look at what he did do. Practice makes perfect. http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums/forum4/17687.html

So how old do you have to be? How many tattoos do I need to ride a Harley? I'm 60,Too old for a sport bike? I joined up at 43 and I wish I would have done it sooner. My wife and I have had some of the best times in our life on the Wing. Don't ride one if you don't want one and if you don't want one don't let your wife ride on one. The 1800's handle alot better than the 1500 and have a little more power but the 1500 is quite capable. This is ours.We have traveled every state east of the Miss. River and camped in several. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHTFfRNTZF8

+1 ^^. This stuff works too (the powder). http://www.antimonkeybutt.com/

This one blows me away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxYRa0pqxlw

I have an older Lincoln ( sp 170) similar to this. Does not have the spool gun option which would be nice. What you have picked out looks to to be a nice set up. Lincoln is my favorite welder to weld with. Never any problems. When I read this thread on my phone I thought I saw a mention of duty cycle ? Duh. Click the product info pdf on your link. It lists duty cycle at a specific voltage. 30% duty means how long you can run it continuously at that voltage for 10 minuetes. 30% = 3 min run and 7 min rest. This is usally at the higher end of it max output. Quite happy with mine.

Ohhh Nooo !! Doc I think you need to go for a ride. I'll take the covers off of the Green Monster and have it ready for you.LOL! Nice little Vid Buddy:bow:. I liked it.

You just posted a link to FLA's. That is not what you have in your bike. It's the primary point here. You have sealed AGM in you bike. <<<< Your quote. I have both. The link has info that can and does pertain to both types. I guess you did not bother reading it or did not comprehend it's content. I agree with your loss statement. It is the other BS that is ah........ wrong. Next is---Exactly why are you putting it on a float charger? What's the point in that? Seriously I want you to explain to me exactly your reasoning of putting it on a tender. I keep my batteries on a tender because---1) I don't want to disconnect the battery. You know parastic drain,clock ect. which will accelerate discharge. 2) I don't want get the VOM out to check it's state of charge all the time. 3) Suddenly go dead for some reason,freeze-thaw and puke nasty all over. 4) I like the pretty little lights. 5) The most important reason........It works. And about the league thing---you are correct because I don't need a league. I run on facts. Posting here that you cannot overcharge a lead acid battery is was just plain stupid on your part. Remember the Hindenburg? Hydrogen is the gas comming out of a charging battery. Let it boil to the point of exposing the plates and then they warp and short out------BOOM. I won't come to that party. One more thing? Did you read the captions on your link? Maybe you should. Someday we should chat on the merrits of using Marvel Mystery Oil and Sta-Bil.

Okay the reason I posted links was for correct information. It does not matter to me as I have done quite well sir with motorcycle batteries in the last 43 years. What matters is that someone reads wrong info and thinks that it is correct. Let's go over your post---sitting kills. You are wrong that it does not kill a sealed battery. If the voltage is allowed to drop below 11.5 volts it could possible ruin the battery. 11.5 volts is considered overdischarged which requires a higher(up to 20)voltage charger to attempt bringing it back. I capitlized Battery Tender meaning brand name,sorry should have included Deltran. I should also point out that there are 2 versions--the B-tender and B-tender plus. The later is designed for lead acid and agm batteries. The first only lead acid.It does not overcharge. Discharge rate fully charged in a month-1/3 on lead acid and 10% agm. A battery does not sulfate by charging but by discharging.The longer the discharge the more sulfation. Charging puts the sulfates back in to the electrolyte. Fact-both can be overcharged resulting in warped plates,shorting out and exploding. Gassing is a trait of lead acid batteries. Agm batteries don't gas because they can't? They don't gas by design. The negative plate never becomes fully charged thus no hydrogen gas so no venting needed. The positive plate still puts out oxygen but goes thru a reaction turning it back into water. Stop charging your battery? Yes when it is fully charged with a battery charger. If a proper maintainer is used there should not be a problem. Let's see 12.7 volts for 18 months? My source says a loss of 10% per month. You are only 1.2 volts away from an overdischarge condition. I'm not gonna do the math. I don't care really. Mine don't sit that long and if they did they would be on a maintainer approved for AGM batteries. Most batteries do not last because they are not of OEM quality,wrong type or most importanly,not properly put into service.

http://www.progressivedyn.com/battery_basics.html I am not saying all your comments are wrong but . Not quite sure were you got all your info but I think you may want to read up a little on batteries. http://www.yuasabatteries.com/videos.php Here are some videos that may help also. BTW my sealed yuasa is going on 11years old and is just showing signs of giving up.It lives on a Battery Tender all winter and 90% of the rest of the time.

Gentle ........ Not a chance. Bend over and take it like a man. Oh Yea ....... Welcome.

How about a Ballistic Performance EVO 2 8 cell.The old Yuasa is tuckered out.

Cool beans Man.....Don't take that in a Refried sort of way. Looks like I will get to follow you this year.

Welcome...Good choice on returning with a bike with just 2 holes. Those inline-4's are much too dangerous. I may get one when I get a little older though.

Sorry Doc...:offtopic:. Ya,Battery Tender.Rotate weekly between two bikes and the grass cutter. Just gotta remember to keep an eye on acid level in non-sealed batteries.

http://www.cyclexport.com/vehicle/3341939/2003-Yamaha-FZ1-Munford-Alabama-36268 Here is one in orange.

Maybe I bit off more than I can chew....We were parked next to each other on the 1st stop at that redneck gas station on Doc's ride. I believe you were the last of the fast guys to leave and(the others were gone) as you zipped up your jacket you looked at me and said " I hate playing catch up ". Someone has to be the caboose:)(that would be me). I can live with that;). Gonna have to spring for a battery........this one only lasted 10 years...American Junk(Yuasa).

Have taken one in the past with no issue.....Just watch out for the bad ass Harley folks. If pics get out of them looking at those big Hogs their Moms will be pi$$ed off
