I got one of those little combination locks at the 99˘ store. Hooked it on one of those plastic cable ties on the right handlebar. I put the last 3 #s of my odometer on it when I fill up. After about 110 miles, I listen very carefully till I hear or feel a hesitation in the throttle. It's easy if I am moving along, but at signals when the idle starts to slow down, I have to act fast. Quickly getting into neutral so I can free my left hand from the clutch and flip it to reserve. Last 2 times that happened, I was able to get it switched before it died. Then I have to gas up before I go another 20 miles.

Sue...you knew you need to fill up so I won't mention any ideas on how to keep up with your mileage...lol  I understand the spacely sprocket thing, everyone i ride with has great big tanks and they don't need to stop every 100 miles like i do...so if they pass up a station and I need to stop, I just stop anyway...better than running out of gas.  

Question:  what mods have you done to your bike and which mods do you plan to do in the future...thanx for your help...

Thanks for the support........

as far as modifications.......
Ive removed most all the makers marks...blow dryer/dental floss method.

applied an amy brown fairy to the tank. (temporary, better than the boulevard emblem, but it was too naked with nothing)

fringes for my handlebars.......

saddle bag supports and willie and max saddlebags.

back rest and rack.

still have to get to upgrading the bulb, have the bulb just have been working too much including the today and yesterday.

would like a tank bag for trips, and down the line have a friend do an really cool airbrush on the bike, not sure what yet......he is very talented did an amazing eagle in flight on his harley.  possible a windshield at some point.

I still have work to do on my skills.......I still have problems sometimes at a complete stop on a hill and getting going again without stalling......coordination????vs. cold engine????

I have to take the bike out and practice and practice and practice tommorow before spacely and I go for a ride (full tank of gas).   may do a cleaning and alittle waxing to bring out alittle more shine, hubbys harley im told got l9 coats of wax, so shiney it will blind ya...

and tommorow nite he goes home the way "I" want to...I followed him last time, it was dark, he went in my opinon a very stupid way, all up hill, cold engine, lots of traffic lights ,too many cars. I stalled twice in traffic from the red light, very nerve wracking, and makes me feel stupid.
