whatever the current car jump record is plus one car to break the record.

Don't get any crazy ideas in your head Ricky. We need you right where you are right now, LOL !

I hope that will open, interesting and sad story for sure.

Thank you Ricky, for your reply, we are anxiously waiting. Barry, the thought of going back to a bike is just in the "thinking stage" ! Wife Marlene's worsening Lupus inflammation no longer allows her to straddle a saddle anymore. And I prefer two wheels if riding solo. Now that I am retir...

When will the order forms, options and prices become available for the new models ?
Thanks, Craig H.

> the factory "Reset TPS".< Just thinking here Pat, and for anyone interested in this thread. If the factory had to actually "reset the TPS", what in the hell does that mean ? If no parts like the TB has been changed, why ? I have never heard of or owned a vehicle that required a...

Thanks Pat for your response. And after thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that you are 100% correct. However what BH is referring to as the TPS, I'm guessing that it's actually the Pedal Position Sensor (PPS). The TPS is internal of the throttle body and non-adjustable. Now if programming changes w...

TXscooterguy, OUCH for sure and so easy to forget ! I am sorry to hear that and again sorry that I can not answer you new seat questions. But I would love to see a pic of your new one, if you go that route. Craig

Brian in Lk. Havasu, can BH's ECM's program over time degrade ? I ask this because on my current 57 trike's 485 ECM, the engine's idle is sometimes "now" (and not before) wanting to die when coming to a stop ? Or sometimes it will recover itself just at the last second, with an sudden jump...

Here's my broken mount (front-right) about 8500 miles. notice the washers used as shims. After I installed the new one I made a spacer, fits better and looks better. Exact same spot and mileage as mine "Mikie v" ! But as said on mine, it was crack in the power coat that I noticed. I shoul...

JMHO here : It is not easy to be a Boss Hoss dealer, and for sure is not going to work if that is ones only source of business income ! I'm thinking that any of the BH dealerships who are no longer with us, was by their decision to leave not the factory's. Inventory requirements, lack of parts and v...

WORD OF CAUTION : This tip is for you owners of the LS engines. And it may even be narrowed down to the "cammed" bikes, and in particular the 485 ! ✔️ You motor mounts guys & gals. At 8605 miles, I have a hairline crack, running parallel, all the way around and just above the only weld...

Ricky, PM sent. Craig H.

TXscooterguy, unfortunately when you plug any device into the OBD port of these newer bikes / trikes, your gages will "freeze up" ! Speed Hut has built this feature into their Canbus gages to protect them, if a device is plugged into said port ! That being said though, I've had all the dif...

Dave, have you seen the rear glove compartment on the newer model std. bikes ? You can hardly get your hand down inside, a lot different than my 02 !! I love the looks of the custom baggers now days. The only problem is they ain't got no power !! What do you all think, as far as "sales volume/r...

I love those Beetle bags hogv8, and I agree, they would look great on a BH. Barry, when I said "quick disconnect", I was thinking of All of the HD hard baggers. Half a twist on two fasteners and off the bags come, I consider that as quick as you can get. And I doubt that real bagger riders...

Let's talk fairings and saddlebags. If you were going to design and build a custom fairing for your ride, what would it look like? What features would it have?? 500 watt sound system (overpowered and ridiculous just like your bike, LOL)? Navigation system? What if you had to chose between sound or ...

Ricky, PM sent. Craig H.

I'll step in with an loaner offer also. 2014 LS485 57 trike.
BUT unfortunately it would not be avail. until June 2nd., when at that time, we could drop it off. Let me know, Craig

See, I told you Dennis, I'm pretty stupid,lol. I didn't even understand your hear hear remark ! All is well Sir, my bad and I'm sorry for that, Craig

Hi Rick .Your saying if the ECM is locked you can still check the diagnostics and clear faults? I'm not sure how you can do that if it's locked. I understand if you lock the tune part then you can't retune. But you still need to trouble shoot some how. Hi "2crzy" and AZ, Craig here. I use...

"Boss Hoss can't stay in business spending $ without a + return". Hear, hear! We are not all socialists here, right? Maybe you believe that you're "entitled" to free tuning updates for life, but I never saw that clause in my sales contract. Ok this is beginning to really confuse...

Please understand here, that I am not directing my thoughts towards anyone, if that were my intention, I'll point a finger ! This is just Craigies thoughts and feelings out loud : If Boss Hoss could simply put in an ECM with an auto tune AND BE HAPPY, then why have they repeatedly went out and spent...

Ya just rub it in OK. Think of all the "bike bonding" that you are missing, BOOORING, LOL Craig

We love the Scottsdale area, and especially Cave Creek ! In fact, we will be in Cave Creek (Sonoran Villas) for a bit in May, trailering our trike down. I would love to buy you a drink at the Hideaway or Road House ! Those places are hopping right now with AZ. bike week, been to that event twice. We...
