[The Mysterious Q!]

Well went to drop off my bike this morning to have the rear tire replaced and check the brakes.I get a call this afternoon and the service manager informs me that I have a rock imbedded in the side of the belt and it must be replaced. Well I guess its better to find out now then on the road enroute to MV.So while they had the bike apart I decided to have them install a chrome inner primary. When life serves you lemons you got to make lemonade.Well I have a new Kuryakyn inner primary cover for sale. So new belt,tire and more bling.MV here I come [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Later,Q

Bad that you had to replace the belt, but GOOD  [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] that you got the chrome inner...really sets the bike off, IMO...and, it's easy to keep clean too!  You should be good to go for the MV ride..looking forward to meeting you!

[The Mysterious Q!]

Me to Terry,me too.

Grrrr, you had to bring that to my attention didn't you. I wasn't even thinking about that when I had my chrome inner primary installed.

Oh D00d, tell it is isn't so man!  Not you?  Of all people!!  Missing a perfect BO (bling opportunity) that can be justified and rationalized by saving labor at the same time?  Wouldn't have beleived it if I hadn't read it with my own two eyes.  You were my hero man.  The D00d of Bling (DoB) we all aspired to be!  And you let us down.  That does it, I gotta go cry now......

[The Mysterious Q!]

Its not complete yet.How mucho for el chromo starter?

All kidding aside they are pretty pricey Q.  If I remember correctly like $425.00 or so.  But if you want it and can't or don't want to install it yourself it'll be off in their hands for the primary change.  So you're saving a fair chunk of labor to do it while it's apart.

Hey Q, there's no comparison between the cover and the actual inner primary chromed, is there?  Big difference.  Some covers look ok, but that's one piece that calls out to be chromed instead of covered.  It's still on my 'to do' list on the '04.  Finally got one on the '94'.   har!  spyder

Hey D00d, the chrome end cap looks ok on the starter until you take that cross-over pipe off when you put the Reinharts on.......then:  you gotta have the chrome one!  I'm like 2Lane, what WERE you thinking?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  har!  [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] spyder

[Fired00d]

Oh D00d, tell it is isn't so man!

[Fired00d]

[The Mysterious Q!]

With the trip coming and over a G needed to complete the repairs,maybe next time on the starter.

[Twolanerider]

I wasn't thinking.

Well Gary, you know what you're going to have to do now.  Sneak out some evening and cut halfway through the drive belt with an old rusty pocket knife so you can explain to everyone that you got the starter while it was apart anyway for a necessary belt change.


Missed the primary change opportunity.  I'm really just sad.  The King of Bling, The Max of Wax, The Sultan of Chrome; he let us down dudes.  He let us down......   .
