82packer Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I've used Ken a few times for parts. Two years ago I needed tires so I asked a local and he sent me to ... 129 Motorcycle Pitstop4371 Calderwood Hwy Maryville, TN 37801 865-856-0640 Might want to call ahead, they don't have the selection Ken Wheeler has but price and service were very good.

2talltim Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 ok with mikes tire plugging thread and this one i decided to take a closer look at my tire and i found only what i can describe as a small bulge maybe nothing to worry about but not taking any chances. New Angle GT rear is going on tommorow after work. Kinda looks like i ran over a large rock and it broke a belt or something. I also atempted to put a new battery in my TPMS we will see if it works..

Wheelers as mentioned above is the best choice, by far. If you know you will need one for sure give him a call and get what you want in there to be sure. Also there are a bunch of dealers on I75 just south of Knoxville where 140 crosses if you need it done before you go across the gap.

2talltim Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) yes sir! I don't feel like fighting with an sv325 on the cherohala! I know your pain, seem like i was always having to clean out the weep hole on the TL after i rode in the rain. I ended up keeping a few pipe cleaners wrapped around the frame under the seat.

turnone Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Wheelers is awesome. Way too cheap for his own good. No reason to discount tires and service when you are the only game for miles. I tested out my scooter receiver hitch setup on the van today. One more step complete before next weeks departure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Wheelers hooked me up on a clutch worm gear a couple years ago when the one on my TL broke on the far side of the skyway. I rode from telico plains to wheelers with out having to use my clutch after i did a push off and starter button start. He replaced the linage gear with his own stash of personal parts and when he was done i ask what the damage was he said " it's good to see another TL on the road so give me $35 for that used part" a new part would have been $85. He is a awsome guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
