Newbie from Alaska
« on: February 09, 2007, 10:09:15 PM »
  I bought the Jester in Dec it is still at the dealer. I won't be able to ride it until the end of May, It's cold in Alaska! I wish I would have found it before I bought it. I'm a little worried about the heat problem.  Thanks for all the great info everyone post on this site.  Thank

Welcome from NJ. It's pretty cold down here right now too. Hang in there spring is on it's way. You have a short riding season there but some beautiful scenery. Good luck with that beautiful machine.                                             :welcome_005:

Welcome aboard Hawg.  I've been to Alaska three times:  A refueling stop on the way to Viet Nam in '67, another on the back in late '68 and about 8 or 10 years ago I spent a week around Lake Iliamna doing some salmon fishing and taking in nature.  Beautiful place!  It also busted a myth for me.  I've always heard in Texas that we need a good hard freeze in the winter to kill off the insects.  Well, Alaska has some pretty hard freezes, I'm guessing but you also have some of the biggest damn mesquitos I've ever seen.  We had to lash down our equipment to keep them from flying off with it.

Let us help you kill some time while you patiently wait on spring to can ride that blue beauty.

Welcome to the site.  Which dealer did you get it from.  Was up that way to fish on the Kenia river a couple of years ago,  great country to ride in when it isn't snowing.  Just watch out for the moose.

Welcome to the best site on the web.  There are some topics on here that address your concerns about heat and the 110.  Big thing is, get those stock mufflers (and headers, IMO) off and open up that AC and have it SERT'd , PC'd, TMax'd (your choice), to get that AFR down to a more tolerable level, and your heat problems will be, for the most part, gone.  Enjoy the site and I hope you have deep pockets, cuz some of these guys, not me of course ::), will love to spend your money for you.

Cheers :2vrolijk_21:,

Welcome to CVO Harley.  Sorry, can't speak on the heat challenge, but there are a wealth of folks here who can.

Beautiful place!  It also busted a myth for me.  I've always heard in Texas that we need a good hard freeze in the winter to kill off the insects. 

Yeah - they say that - whoever they are but the bugs in northern Michigan are worse than Ohio - I think its the Darwin theory - Only the strongest survive - season after season. Thus the bugs that remain are only the baddest of the bad! BTW - last week here in Michigan it was colder than Anchorage, -22 :o Now I've ridden in the teens before but that chit there was COLD!
