RE: Anybody like the new Road King Custom?
How would you like to have to cut grass and maintain an inground pool 12 months out of the year?
Any idea how much it costs to run central air conditioning all year long?
In Maryland my electric bill is about $185 a month for cool air in the summer, but the heat is propane and is about $400 a month or more.
That was one of my worst moves ever, my oil furnace died so I switched to propane because it was only .99 a gallon. I had it for one fill up at that price, now after a couple of years it's 2.69 a gallon. The bill for my 500 gallon tank is around $1,200. and it gets filled a couple of times each winter.

RE: H.D. rocket engine for Drone in 60s
The article I read said that the engine was built by Rocketdyne but credited to HD in some cases due to a series of corporate buy outs. I like to stap one to my bike to see how fast it would go.

RE: Where did you ride today?
Someone just told me about this thread on the other side, so I've been checking out all the great photos and thought I would post some of my own. Although most of them wont be from this year, due to the economy we have had to cancel all of our planned trips this year with the exception of a few long weekends here and there.

This is a canyon near Hot Springs WY and my wife is taking the shot from the back of the bike. It was very nice with the river and train track leading us thru this Indian reservation and the 3 TeePee's were just a bonus.

This one is kind of hazy but we are not in a helicopter, this is the Bear Tooth Pass that borders mid Montana and Wyoming.

The Buffalo are in Custer State Park SD, and then Needles Hywy in the Black Hills State Park in SD, and My wife in the Badland State Park SD.
I can't seem to get my photo to upload, I used the image box and copied and pasted from another photo site. Could you help post my photos correctly so I can fix this mess above?
Update - I finally found the correct URL address thanks for the help

RE: Radio quit on my 07 RG
I'll keep that in mind, I like riding in PA it's not only beautiful but I get to take my helmet off. That's a long ride from Florida to go to small rally for a weekend or is it all week long.

RE: RB Racing Exhausts....
Sorry to cut in but we rode to NY last month, some place near Climax NY and I can't remember how to say it or spell it, but I always love the names up there. We went to Nick's Waterfall house and 5 or 6 other bars on a poker run, beautiful country. BTW I have heard nothing but good things about those pipes for over 5 or 6 years now.

RE: Radio quit on my 07 RG
You don't really want to ride in DC unless you have a death wish, we go every year to Rolling Thunder and are escorted by the Park Police and I guess most everyone does get the same escort, but my friend retired from the maintenance garage, if you ever need a police style saddle bag let me know. DC is great to go and see museums, National Shrine, Zoo, etc. but the drivers are wild and some are high with cars that only have brake pads on the left front wheel etc. I know that from experience, I was on a ramp that had a hard curve and concrete barrier on both sides and waiting in the middle of the turn for the light to change when a car comes up behind me fast and slams on the brakes, only one was smoking and he almost hit me. My natural reaction was to jump off the bike and go kick his a$$, but I took one look and quickly realized he wouldn't have felt a thing, he was just as high as he could be. So I just tried to keep my distance.
But Rolling Thunder is great, you see all kinds and them some. The city can also be very nice and there is alot to see, I guess I just take it for granted being I have lived here for 50 years come November.

RE: Radio quit on my 07 RG
Sorry I've been away for a couple of days. The J&M speakers do sound better than stock, mine are an older version with a single chrome tweeter (that has never rusted in 35,000 miles) they are making a 7 inch speaker now with a tweeter and midrange speaker in the grille in black or chrome for $279.00, I think it would pump out a lot more bass and I would like to upgrade. I think my radio has a power problem so I'm going to see if any connections are corroded first and get out my test light, I just haven't felt like pulling off the fairing yet. And I have been to Crutchfield but didn't see anything that I liked so far, I'm worried about putting a regular ole radio in my bike, I keep it in the garage but I have ridden through my share of rain and I am worried that it will get trashed by the rain. I haven't really thought about a stereo that uses memory instead of cd's, but that's a very good idea. One person on another forum suggsted the Kenwood stereo he used, but I looked at it and it had a open cd slot that was just begging for some road dirt and rain. I am also not too fond of Sony that Hogtunes offers but a lot of people swear by them. Thanks for all the imput and keep it coming.

RE: muffler packing
You might want to ask at Bike or Boat shops too. It may be hard to find but if all fails you may have to replace the baffles. On my first header installation (30 years ago) I thought it was just a packing material used in shipping and I ripped it all off before realizing just at the last moment it was part of the baffle, anyway I had the loudest Kawasaki 650 with a Kerker pipe in all of Maryland. I seem to remember my 20 year old girlfriend's father loved it.

RE: Rinehart exhaust systems..... ??
Yeah that's high, but find the pipe you like and start seaching the net. I bet you can find them cheaper by going to the manufacturers site and look for links for retail sales. Also look at Zippers site for tech specs, I saw a stock softail with 2 into 1 pipes and their high flow air filter with the thundermax ECM and I believe it got a 28 hp gain on this simple upgrade. I thought it was pretty impressive, I didn't get that much for the same setup with Rinehart true duals.

RE: Rinehart exhaust systems..... ??
You may want to check out this site http://www.zippersperformance.com I think these are nice looking pipes and Zipper's gets some pretty impressive power gains. I have no experience with the sound and I have RH true duals on my Road Glide but I wish I had used these 2 into 1 pipes for more HP & Torque, but at the time I couldn't stand the look of a single pipe on a dresser.

RE: Radio quit on my 07 RG
Thanks I'll have to pick up a copy of Thunder press and check out the adds. I have removed the fairing before to upgrade my speakers to J&M and replace my headlights for something a little brighter. I guess I'll have to check out some websites for marine radios that might fit.

Radio quit on my 07 RG
We were doing some bar hopping last week and I was riding with my radio off but I did notice the HD emblem while riding, anyway we got to the next stop and someone asked for the time, so I tuned the key and there was nothing. I checked both of the fuses and later noticed that the light worked on the radio display but nothing else works. Before I pull the fairing on my 07 Road Glide I thought I would ask for help in finding a replacement radio with a cd/mp3 player, I would also like to hear from anyone who has had their radio fail.
