I am gutted to hear this sad news, I only got an email from him last week with many pictures of Raven, we loved the guy over here with his wicked banter that got us in trouble on the uk forum but who cares it was funny, Andy had a heart of gold and will be very sadly missed.

I had the flickering lights on my driving lights and rear light it was an intermittent and very annoying fault which every time I tried to trace the fault they were working. Eventually I traced it to the fusebox the terminals of the fuse holder were loose.

I have the opposite problem over here,I am fed up of people saying I like your harley and other harley related comments.

I had not visited the forum for a while but I heard from ratman about this terrible accident,we have been praying for you PC and will continue to do so until you make a full recovery.

Oh ratman you are getting blind in your old age. 

My bike is now fully indianised I have now got to the stage I rarely tell anyone who asks about it that in fact it's a kawasaki,it was more trouble than its worth even a harley guy said to me I love those Indians, a very nice guy he was but I did have to tell him.

I will stand corrected here but I think he only had the one set as I bought a full set from him headlight,spotlights and turn signals. If I am right they were the fire and steel brand which is no longer available new. I was looking for quite a while but they did turn up in the end so hopefully you will find some.

Ratman where is your sense of humour gone it was a joke lol. Ronny I managed to get a set of metal visors from TJ the highway hawk visors do look good I was just breaking them off in the garage as I have too many bikes in there. Thanks for all your kind comments we are very pleased with the end result.

I have the dual tour with both backrests fitted and we like it but the riders seat is lower and the pillion is higher than the mustang I had on before but it suits us.

Greenbarn the rear boards are renegade they were on it when I bought her,I wonder why you suggest changing the colours around lol. TJ I may have to speak to uncle malcolm and make you the Canadian distributor as well just so ratman has a bit of competition. Ronny as ratman said you will have to be patient but it will be worth the wait uncle malcolms gear is very good.

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. Tommy,uncle malcolm was saying he was stopping making bespoke drifter items but was looking to sell off what he had and sir ratman was going to be the Canadian distributor. I did think about whitewalls but felt they may clash with the cream paint on the fenders. It was Andrea who chose the colour scheme I had my doubts at first but she has got it spot on and she loves it.

All the skulls are grim reapers have gone its been repainted. I would like to thank Greenbarn for his help with the Corbin,also TJ for the visors I had been looking for and could not find. I also got the light bar and spots from a very nice guy on eBay bit I never found out if he was on the forum. The pictures do not give a true likeness of the red but it is a beautiful shade and really suits the image of the bike. Uncle Malcolm on the uk forum made the polished wheel Covers and Centre hub cover also the polished rectifier cover. I must not forget Mr ratman who is always willing to help. We got out on our first decent ride today and all went well a couple of minor teething faults but all sorted now.

You have done well and you won't regret buying her,they are a beautiful bike that always gets attention.

To be fair I am going back nearly 10 years and I presume the security industry has come on a long way since then and addressed that problem. Keep us posted.

Thankfully where I live now I don't need an alarm but when I lived in the uk a lot of insurance companies insisted on an approved alarm system, I had a spyball and meta alarms but both suffered the same problem they flattened the battery very quickly at that time I did not have the luxury of being able to put the bike on an optimate charger. I was only using the bikes at weekends and coming to use it to find it would not start was not funny.

I am sure bongo on the uk forum had one of these for a very short space of time,I did ask him about it as a mate of mine was looking for a cruiser. Bongo did not sing its praises saying it was extremely heavy and he did drop it a couple of times and the passenger seat was poor. You would be best speaking to him just in case I am quoting the wrong bike but I am pretty sure it was the same bike.

Sorry guys I have no idea what a straight road is so until I find out I will not be able to take part in this humour. Ratman walking football is played by unfit pensioners like you not athletes like me and my new mate tj.

Hey boy do not insult me by mentioning that ridiculous game if you are really bored one day look it up on you tube you may even see the famous uncle malcolm. Now the reason ratman has not been invited to the TT is I know he will try and seduce the beautiful Andrea but we will keep that our secret TJ. For some very strange reason she really likes him.

Dear sir ratman am I allowed on the Canadian forum, I have beaten you to it I have already invited my new Canadian mate over for TT and guess what he is coming over. Now this could have been you if you had found me these visors.

Yes I think that is the secret ratman,all the ones I have bust have been in the garage. Once again thank you for looking for them for us Andrea would never forgive me if I had not gotten them.

The visors I have are highway hawk and they use the top lens screw to mount them,they do look good but are plastic,my problem is too many bikes in the garage and you only need to brush past them and they snap off. Ratman you are fired I have a new Canadian mate who finds parts I am looking for.

Now just hold on ratman before you leave on a big road trip to find me visors,I have just had email from one of your members who has exactly what I am looking for. So thank you for all your trouble and of course Andrea will reimburse you for any costs you have incurred,you know the address.

Thanks guys,i  find the more abuse you give ratman the more he helps you. So come on you big fat lazy good for nothing lay about find me these visors.

Thanks,now ratman you heard what the man said. I would look myself but we don't have any truck stops here as we only have 12 trucks.

I hope I am never as good looking as you if you look like a rat. I am pretty sure they exist as uncle Malcolm said he got some from America if I remember right.
