Re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread
Thanks for the replies everyone. It's weird, though. I got in my car to go to work last night and it seems to be working fine now. I'm not sure what happened but for about 24 hours it was stuck on empty. It could be a sign that I have to replace something soon or maybe it was just a one time thing. I guess I'll find out eventually.
when things like this happen with your fuel level, it is also best to fill it to the top, reset your trip meter and go based off that for the next 2 FULL tanks. dont just put $10 in.
the fuel level is based off a estimate of what the car "thinks" is left in the tank. there is no actual float, just a few sensors that help it guess.
its not the most accurate fuel monitoring system...
They'd probably give you the missing parts, but if you don't need them its just clutter in your toolbox.
Sometimes you're just screwed when it comes to buying stuff.
the thing is, this kit they ordered in came in a sealed bag direct from Harley Davidson.
the only part i really want out of all the missing ones is the 3 spacers and the 1 acorn nut.
the current mounting hardware that use to be under the handlebars is now on top...so i have just a regular nut on the top of my bars... not a chrome nicely shaped one.
who will notice? just me..lol and maybe now you.
i probably wont bother.
on a side note... bought a new leather jacket and armoured gloves yesterday.
gloves looked like they would be warm, and have armour on them so i dropped the $90 on them.
just went out for a rip on the bike and let me tell you... that "armour" is actually air scoops! i think i have frostbite!
now...it was only +2 when i left my house...so it wasnt ideal temps but come on...these are thick gloves.
but my jacket is awesome.. i love joe rocket gear! good quality, had hidden back, shoulder and elbow/forearm padding. and its not bulkey like the other armoured gear i tried on in the store.
TX if you get a sportster you will love it, but get a wind deflector. im going to order the flyscreen in black in a couple weeks. its the smallest one ive found and it actually deflects the wind so its not hitting you in the chest. (thats what the reviews say) and it actually looks good.
i just hit about 50mph with no windscreen and wow...it just pushes against you... i cont even imagine how my buddy road my harley home in +10 (a little colder than +10 i think actually) with no windscreen down the highway for about a hour...i think im going to buy him those motorcycle boots he been looking at. he deserves them.
