Recently we had a blurb about an electric supercharger with a link to the company.I tried to find it with no success.Anyone remember it?Thanks. | ||

Somewheres on this board I once saw a note about over-riding the kickstand switch (the one which when not working can prevent the bike from starting.) Can someone point me to that? Thanks. | ||
| Xgecko |
Fog, do you have your manual? you can tell how to do it by following the schemeatic. If I'm not mistaken you can do it on all Buells by unpluging the cable to the Kickstand and inserting a U shaped piece of paperclip into the pin holes and then pluging it back together. | ||

Loki, sorry about the loss, It seems someone had been watching and waiting for you to slip up. Bet its someone you have met or lives close by. Have an 84 RZ that someone tried to steal from my last apartment parking lot. Screwdriver in the key slot, They had the ignition on. Being a kick start, I bet they kicked it a hundred times. I always unplug the spark plug wires,(deturant for amatures)! Pros would have put it in a truck. Had 2 trucks and a car stolen in 6 mo. in same area. Funney thing is I was living in a nice area Clear lake Tx.. I moved to a house in the getto and leave my car doors unlocked on purpose, yard tools astray. Not a single thing missing in two years. Guess a big sign, "Have Guns, Will Kill", helps. Kidding. | ||

Skulley, This was the action of a pro this time. Could not have been watching for long though. I and the bike just back into town on the 13th. We were gone for over a month. First time I had left it unlocked since I moved into this place. Never(at least me) had any problems in here. Was talking to a friend who lives in the building next to me. She found out a neighbor of hers had his truck broken into last week. The same time frame of sunday or monday. Back to the pro thing though. Talking to the man, my bike is the first in this area. to get releived from my posssesion. Now on sunday a duc/triumph dealer was hit. That place is 6 miles from me(as the crow flies). those guys were using a stolen rental truck and tossing the bikes into it. living in a less than desirable area does seem to work. Your neighbors know who you are. Living in a more desirable locale puts you in the sights. automatically. Go figure but this comes from my own experience. L | ||

Court, Did a quick search and found the following: >>"Cicero" appears to be part of MS Office XP's speech recognition and/or handwriting recognition feature. These features are part of Office's "shared features" for alternative user inputs. They are not installed if the user picks typical installation. to uninstall: >>To uninstall Office XP alternative user input support: Open the Control Panel. Open Add/Remove Programs. Select Microsoft Office XP from the list of installed programs, and click the Change button. Click the Add or Remove Features radio button, and click Next. Click the + in front of Office Shared Features. Click the + in front of Alternative User Input. If the Speech and/or Handwriting feature is installed and you are not using that feature, please uninstall by clicking the icon and selecting Not Available. Click the Update button to uninstall (if necessary). Loki, I knew the neighborhood in Chicago where I lived was turning yuppie when my neigbor's house got burglarized. usually means you have nice stuff to take. when it was the ghetto no problems, because nothing I owned was worth stealing. | ||

Crime usually doesn't travel very far from home. Houses in the so called "bad" neighborhoods get broken into more often than "good" neighborhood houses. An then there are the guys that steal rental trucks and drive to some specific place across town and do a crash and dash... As always, YMMV. | ||

Wruffus: Check out a set of stock mirrors from a Honda CB1100XX Blackbird. They have the turn signals integrated in them. There is an owner of a yellow S3 who goes by the handle "BigBird" that has posted here occasionally that has this mod done on his bike. You may find some pics of his buried in the "Cool Pics" archives.. | ||

Jeffh, I found the Blackbird mirrors. If fact I parked my billet S3 next to a silver Blackbird at work yesterday. Color match is good enough but the base of the blackbird stems are too large for the S3 flairing cutouts. The base of the mirror itself is about right. I need to lay my hands on the parts for a bit, but they run about $100 per side. I've contacted a few salvage yards but tip over parts aren't usually in stock. Thanks for the lead on pics. I'll post a good pictorial if I can pull this off. | ||

You guys kill me, draggin' me back through long gone memories..... The year was 1972, Greg VanAlstine (Marquette Univ.) and your's truly (KSU) had both fallen victim to the draft, taken a glimpse at the AFFEES station and high-tailed it to the USMC Recruiter. Frankly, if I was going, I wanted to join a team who had a glorious history of kissing ass and coming home. We, as many did at the time, eschewed the bueracracy and regimentation of the USMC. Good fortune found me General Joseph C. Fegan's "Congressional and Special Interest Liasion"...bacially, I wrote letters when Congressmen came investigating what a Drill Inspector may have done or stuck into their son and when Veteran's needed to have a plausibe (I employed, frequently, the "damned bueracrats just don't understand the grunt" defense) explanation why a flight of moth-balled fighters couldn't scatter thier ashes. Good thing is that Van and I, by virture of our "jobs" were Lance Corporal who spent our days comingling with Bird Colonels and spent most our time getting them, via the written word, off the hook. Job perk was that we cot paid to live off base and avoid the doldrums of the Battalion Barracks. Money was tight and we found a CHEAP place in a terrible neigborhood on Sand Diego Avenue. Crime was the greatest influence on the attractive price, but sitting adjacent to I-5, under the final appraoch to Lindberg Field and seperated from the Interstate only by the Amtrak tracks 40' to the West, I foresaw our property, with it's concomitant 100dB noise level, as a future transportation hub the moment the neighbors learned to speak English. The fateful day, we arrived home to find the screen ripped and the window broken. The SDPD arrived in minutes, summoned by the neighbors. Two cops raced in and the first one exclaimed "My God, they've cleaned the entire place out". It took a while for us to explain that Van, a practicing "walk everywhere in sandals" owned nothing and slept on a straw mat w/o pillow. I, dating what was to become a spousal unit, had my few worldly possession at her place in LaJolla and my "on site" belongings consisted of a cardboard box from Van's with a $4 clock radio to listein to Bauer & Hudson on AM760 in the morning. Next to the box was my horizontial collection of 7 stolen USMC issue blankets that I slept on. The single can of Campbell's Tomato soup was in the cupboard partially as decoration and to allow us, in total honesty, to tell our far away parents, in total honesty "yes, we have food in the house". The slime who'd broken the window had to be the most surprised folks in the world. At the end of the day total loss to dwelling and contents was about the price of two Taco Bell meals. Please, don't get me started or I'll tell you how I moved from this location to the Ritzy Coronado Shores (next to the Hotel Coronado) Penthouse on a E-4 paycheck! You guys are weird  Court | ||

Need to get ahold of Cap...you know the redneck with the portable dyno, s1, aprilla, porsche,etc...:-} Need to know his number or the name of the dealership he works for... Thanks in advance. | ||

Court, I stayed directly across the street from the Coronado Hotel in February, and I know what I payed(or at least what I should have payed,he,he,he ) in 2002 dollars for that place. You must have been penthouse sitting or something. Jerry | ||

Fogcity, I found it easier and cleaner to just remove the switch, cut the wires, and connect them together to close the circuit. I initially had to cut the wires and tie them together in a parking lot when the kickstand switch failed and left me stranded. Thank goodness for the BadWeb and my Swiss Army knife. The adventure continues! | ||

>>>You must have been penthouse sitting or something. A bit of a strange world..... my address was 1800 Aveiendo Del Mundo, next to the Hotel and accross the strand from the Chart House. Long story involving a construction friend of Dad's.....owned a business that, well "caught on" and a group of Mexican businessmen were attempting to induce him to come to Mexico and the place (overlooking Glorietta Bay off the left of the balcony and the Coronado Islands 16 miles off shore to the right) was an "inducement gift" along with the 75' "boat". The story gets exponentially weirder but picture a 21 year old kid, making about $1200/mo who's greatest expense, that threatens to break the bank, is tipping the concierge to park the Nova and crossing the Coronado Bay Bridge (no toll now, was then, right after the Orange Avenue ferry shut down)...... Told ya...life's strange. By the way, Wade and McDonald's Restaurants eventually went to Mexico and did quite well. | ||

yikes, once AGAIN Lake Isabella makes national news, but THIS time the news appears to be all good: the two kidnapped girls are alive, and the bad guy is dead. the live reports some of you may be watching on CNN and MSNBC are going down in Weldon, about 20 minutes from my house. congrats to all concerned for the positive outcome, and my thoughts and prayers go out to the girls and their families and loved ones.

Something to be said for country sheriffs. The guy is dead and will never bother another woman if he had been caught in LA County he would probably be out on bail already. BTW whats the deal with the layout we have 3 advertisement banners per sponsor and no more message layout toys...or is this a byproduct of my work's firewall | ||

Blake, Just read your letter in the latest Cycle World defending the honor of the XB. Very nice... |
