I wish I recorded audio, towards the end you would hear a roll of quarters in my primary. I hope to get her back together for badness. | ||

Bad news about your clutch - get back on the road soon. Nice pictures though, What camera are you using? | ||
| Barker |
Vholdr. IMHO it sux. When it works. I had a another rig, HD, ready to go but my bike took a SH!#. The other rig I did not get a chance to use. http://www.iconixvideo.com/products.html Not for faint hearted. The Iconix cam and deck come in @ about $33k.

Interesting perspective. Much different from a bike mount. Gives the impression of multiple wheelies. Sorry 'bout the clutch. | ||
| Barker |
Perspective is cool, I need to angle her up a few notches. "impression" HA! There is good impression @ :20 the cam in vid http://vholdr.com/ (Message edited by barker on February 27, 2009) | ||

I think our off road jaunts without the 9 primary conversion are bad for clutches. Mine will need to be replaced soon as well. | ||
| Barker |
Yeah, but yours does not sound like a blender full of nickels.  Maybe we need to a have a clutch replacement party. My Niner has been thru alot more crap. Maybe its time for the 9 swap. | ||

The Iconix cam and deck come in @ about $33k. Mere mortals like most of us shudder at dropping a few hundred for a helmet cam - for $33K I could buy another bike and hire a dude to ride along behind me taking video. Man, I love the Army, but obviously it's not the line of work for being able to afford cool toys... | ||

I am buying the stuff to do it as soon as I get paid on the 15th. I need a new clutch and a new rear tire. I was planning on tooling over to Chad's house to do it. I can do it by the book, but I always like to have someone helping/looking over my shoulder. I had thought about the 9 swap, but if I plan to sell it, it might not be a change someone else would want. If you can wait, we ought to have a clutch party. No sense in buying to pullers. I'll install a fatty meter mod while you wait.  | ||
| Barker |
ok, i have a "puller" somewhere in my shop. I was looking for it today. It is a universal puller from harbor freight I think I payed like 8 bucks for it. My brother used it on his X1. I go on the road Tuesday and I get back somewhere around the 22nd. Yall have fun! | ||

"Man, I love the Army, but obviously it's not the line of work for being able to afford cool toys..." Who do you think I work for? Who do you think owns this Iconix? You just need the right Army job. (Message edited by barker on February 27, 2009) | ||

I'll wait for you. My clutch ain't gonna die soon. We can get together when you get back. | ||
| Barker |
Deal. Im going to order parts. I will let you know when I get back into town. I hope its like the 19th. Maybe we can run a wire to the battery of my niner to the lites and put a dang toggle switch on her while we are at it. (Message edited by barker on February 27, 2009) | ||

We could just tape a couple of Mag-Lites to the front. They would probably work better than stock. | ||
| Barker |
I was think'n one these might work better than stock:  It also matches the color. | ||

You just need the right Army job.  Obviously not any of the ones I've ever seen! You're a civilian though, right? | ||
| Barker |
roger, civilian contractor. | ||
| Seanp |
Oh, ok. The civilian contractors that went to Iraq with us back in 2003 had all the best toys - satellite internet with videoconferencing, air conditioning, showers... Lucky bastards. But they usually shared with us, so they were alright. I'll stay in green though. I'll live vicariously through your posts. | ||
| Seanp |
Let me clarify - we didn't share showers with them, per se...  | ||
| No_rice |
hey barker, where is that doors redo from. i think its actually pretty good for a modded version | ||
| Barker |
i just scored xb9 primary and clutch off of ebay! rice, it my friend's Garage Band mash up. audiobytes for autobots album titled "2.0" track #8 "44" free (legit) http://audiobytes.net/updates/index.html (Message edited by barker on February 28, 2009) | ||

Matt, Jeremy give me a call if you two need pullers and such. How about the locking tool? | ||
| Barker |
Watrousmark, Yeah, a locking tool would be nice, and I cant seem to put my hands on my puller. Do you have them? May we please borrow? I will give you a call when I get back form my trip. THANX! P.S. I saw you in green hills friday around 4ish. (Message edited by barker on March 01, 2009) |
