I'm thinking about it. I like the idea of keeping the bike at stock height for handling but having the Soft Tail low seat feel.

I'd like to sit on one to see how low it is and how hard the seat is. I figure your not going to have any seat options if you don't like the one that comes with it. ]]> Touring Models ChiliPepperGarage http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448819-fat-bagger-drop-seat.html ? on the fog lights/driving lights http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448817-on-the-fog-lights-driving-lights-new-post.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:26:05 GMT i think they r called driving lamps the 2 under the headlight on a roadking.does anyone have the... i think they r called driving lamps the 2 under the headlight on a roadking.does anyone have the yellow light instead of the white and if so how do u like them. ]]> Touring Models bklyn roadking http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448817-on-the-fog-lights-driving-lights.html Chrome inner primary trim. http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448816-chrome-inner-primary-trim-new-post.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:24:26 GMT Has anyone installed the new chrome trim piece that covers the inner primary?

Help sought in hit-and-run 'outbreak'

By PATRICIO G. BALONA
Staff Writer
ORLANDO -- In the final chapter of their lives, John Eaton and Kevin Hill shared something in common.

Both motorcyclists died tragic deaths in separate crashes when, after an initial wreck, a second motorist in each case ran them over and left them to die.

Eaton, 46, of DeLand, and Hill, 47, of Sanford, are two of five people killed in the last month in what Florida Highway Patrol officials called an "outbreak" of fatal hit-and-run crashes this year. There have been 13 fatalities from hit-and-runs in Central Florida this year and troopers have only solved three, FHP Sgt. Kim Montes said at a press conference Thursday.

Three of those fatalities occurred in Volusia County.

Families of the victims gathered at the FHP headquarters in Orlando to support troopers' efforts in asking the public's help to solve these crimes.

"These are people . . . left to die on the side of the roads by cowards," Montes said. "They are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters. They are people with families."

On Wednesday alone, troopers worked 19 nonfatal hit-and-run accidents and these cases show the number of this type of crash is on the rise, Montes said.

On Nov. 1, Eaton was with friends at the Brass Rail Lounge in DeLeon Springs the night after celebrating his first wedding anniversary, said his widow, Melody Eaton.

As he was leaving the bar, his motorcycle was hit from behind by a pickup and he was thrown in the northbound lanes of U.S. 17, near Millis Road. As others tried to help her husband off the road, a second vehicle ran him over. The driver of that second pickup did not stop and troopers haven't found that person.

"He was uncaring," Melody Eaton said. "He struck my husband as his friends were trying to help him off the road. We need to find him and make him pay for what he did."

Troopers have received tips about the pickup that killed Eaton but so far none of them has panned out. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office is helping FHP try to locate the vehicle, Montes said.

Similarly, Hill was out riding his motorcycle when he was struck on State Road 415 and Reed Ellis Road in Osteen at 1 a.m. Oct. 24. Troopers said his motorcycle was struck head-on by a vehicle that was overtaking another vehicle.

Hill was thrown onto the northbound lanes of S.R. 415. He was conscious and sitting up. As other motorists tried to get him off the road, Susan Norman, 40, struck Hill, troopers said. Norman did not stop despite warnings from the witnesses, according to reports. Deputies later found her three miles from the crash scene with a disabled car.

Charges are still pending against Norman, Montes said.

"I just don't get it," Hill's son, Brian, said Thursday, unable to explain why Norman left his father to die and doesn't understand why she didn't stop when she approached the crash scene.

"If this woman would have been less impatient, my dad would still be here," Brian Hill said.

Brian Hill's attorney, Eben Self, said it is unfathomable that drivers leave people to die after hurting them.

"The only reason she stopped was because her (Norman) car broke down," Self said. "You don't drive three miles and then claim you were planning to come back to the scene."

Lucie Teeters of Daytona Beach is angry about the driver who sped away after hitting and injuring her son.

Her son, Brian Teeters, 24, was struck at Clyde Morris Boulevard and Coquina Road as he rode his motorcycle to meet his brother and father for dinner Nov. 12. He suffered a broken leg and Teeters hopes the driver that hit him would have the courage to turn himself or herself in.

Hit-and-run crashes have left mostly pedestrians dead but motorcyclists, bicyclists, vehicle drivers and passengers have also been killed, Montes said.

Drivers that run most likely are under the influence of alcohol and drugs, have suspended driver's licenses or are wanted for other crimes, she said. These are not valid excuses to leave somebody on the side of the road, Montes said.

Jamie McWilliams, whose 20-year-old son was killed by a hit-and-run driver on private property seven years ago, agreed.

"There is no excuse to leave someone out like they were last week's trash," said McWilliams, who lives in the Orlando area.

Montes said someone might have information they may consider unimportant, but it can be the information they need to "complete the puzzle" of evidence to catch criminals.

"For some of these cases we need the public's help so these families can have closure," Montes said. ]]> Touring Models nick@nite http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448810-crazy-cagers.html Baffles? http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448791-baffles-new-post.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:09:35 GMT I got a set of rush mufflers with 2.25 baffles and i was wondering if the 2.5 have better deeper...

Sit has started getting a bit cold, I've noticed a couple issues with my bike, I was wondering what they could be?

as a precursor, I've gone through and performed numerous searches both on here, and on other sites hoping to get more information, and I have, but I'd like to see what all the other gear-heads on here think about my specific problem. Here is some information about the bike:

2002 FLRH
Carb
38,000 miles
Stage 1
Extended Warranty till Sept 2010

I started noticing that while cruising it seems to 'miss' every once in a while, where I feel the power bleed off for a second, then come back. It startles me because I think I'm out of fuel for a moment, but I'm not.

There is a "Whirring" sound coming from the middle of the motor, thats the only way I can describe it. It goes up and down the the RPM of the engine, even when clutch is depressed.

Through my searching I've found people describe this type of sound when they have problems with their cam tensioner, and also cam bearings. I'm concerned about the sound, and I'm going to take it to the dealer to allow them to listen to it today, but I want to get an Idea of what might be the problem.

Any help or additional information would be much appreciated. ]]> Touring Models ArizonaFalconer http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448785-whirring-sound-from-engine-on-02-flhr.html For those in Atlanta..... http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448776-for-those-in-atlanta-new-post.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:23:45 GMT I know a lot of the dealerships run specials pretty regularly but not usually quite this good........ I know a lot of the dealerships run specials pretty regularly but not usually quite this good.....

Just got an email from HD of Atlanta (i'm on their list) that they're doing 15% off parts and 25% off on labor.

I already picked up the cruise control kit and grips online at 20% off and I was gonna have them installed by a local mechanic...instead I'm gonna have them knock it out on Tuesday along with preventative maintenance (normally they require you buy the parts there I believe but they agreed to do it anyway).

FYI for anybody considering spending some $$$

(Earl Small and Cartersville HD are also doing specials this weekend) ]]> Touring Models Andy02FLHT http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448776-for-those-in-atlanta.html Neutral light http://hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/448771-neutral-light-new-post.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:46:08 GMT Anyone have trouble with nuetral light on 07 EGC?
