Are you talking a separate, auxiliary fuse block?  Or just running them off the stock fuses?  I prefer to use a separate fuse block, run straight off the battery (usually with a relay) to wire all the farkles to.


YEs, I have a separate fuse block with a built in relay. I think I'll take Rincewinds advice and use a SAE plug somewhere up front. I actually have one laying out in my shop, i'll just bring that along.

Keith just dropped off some awesome tire balancing/changing tools  Thumbsup  I think that we should be set in that department. I might take a quick glance through the thread and see who's planning on doing what and list it up in the first post.



The grill will be hot - I'm thinking of making some kaboobs  Wink

Anyone have beverage preferences? I found the PNW peeps to be non-drinkers when it came to ride-ins like this Shrug

Just a change I will end up doing both tires ( never did a rear tire on a bike without a sindle sided swingarm so not clue on resetting rear tire strait)


As another note I am a chef so I have no problem sharing the burger flipping and or bringing some food.
Don't care about beverages anything will do just fine.

Colleen I will PM you to get address for direct shipping of tires and GPS directions.

great stuff!! Thumbsup

Collen I will be looking to drop ship tires. Anyone have a good online place to buy.


I ordered my tire from (JC Whitney) -- I ordered on the March 1st at about 11:30 pm and they had it to Colleen & Dan's on the 5th, shipping from IL.  For the tire I needed, they had the best price.

www.Motorcycle-superstore.com has free shipping if you spend $75+, which you could easily do with two tires.

Sissies! I say we toss back a few sixes, then head to the local bar on our hawgs!  Lol Lol Lol (that's a joke for you guys who wanna yell, now)

*snerk* I don't mind a beer or two at a day-long event like this. Just cut out the drinking an hour or two before hitting the road. Shrug

Sounds like a plan.  Assuming Lionlady and I actually make it up, I'll bring my multimeter, heat-shrink tubing, and the amazing zip-tie gun.   Chili

I would second that...  But it's not a big deal either way, I'm equally happy with iced tea, soda, etc.

Whenever I had STNer's over back in Seattle, it seemed like every other person would bring a six-pack of something. Then they might drink one or two bottles over the course of the visit. By the time everyone left, I had much more beer in the fridge than I started with (I always had a "seeder" pack or two). I felt compelled to have another party to get rid of the beer since I don't drink it  Lol

Sort of like putting a couple of your own dollars in a tip jar.

I can smell the summer barbecue party now!
