Could you take a pic down the throat of one of those filters for me?

Tod

I was going to say the same thing, if they are like the EMGO air filters don't throw away your stock air box! Ivan came up with this mod to correct the problem, otherwise your engine might run bad. Here is the remedy post - http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread...ght=pod+filter

I did it!!!!!

I had the time of my life these past two days at my Motorcycle Safety Class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....!...........
I really look at riding and driving on the roads differently now but I had a blast!!!

I was the only one to get a 100% on the driving test so I got a "Gremlin Bell"!!
Anyone know what that is??? I didnt till today but I GOT IT!!!!

Probably going to put my engine in late thursday night before I leave for florida for a 12 days

Its crazy that Im leaving for that time cause I could get the bike done in time for sure for MOTM.... but Ill be cutting it close. If not then I will be a trailer queen up there, finish it, then ride it back!

Or... the viking helmet with horns.

[Ivan]

Somewhere I scrounged up an email address for a gal that works in the Texas DMV and she said that I should carry my insurance card and possibly some paperwork explaining that it carries the minimum 10k coverage.

Maybe its time to buy a German Tank Commander helmet with the spike and all....

[kirmit77]

i think If I do not have everything done (painted) ill just slap everything on it and ride it. So much to do and so little time. Gotta wake up at the crack of dawn and go get the motorcycle safety course out of the way!

[Wildkat]

Okay... here's what I found...

(yeah... I know... I'm not John... but I like doing the research stuff... and I can't help it...)


Motorcycle Helmet Exemptions
Effective September 1, 1997, persons at least 21 years old are exempt from wearing a motorcycle helmet if they:

have successfully completed a motorcycle safety course, or
are covered by a health insurance plan providing the person with at least $10,000 in medical benefits for injuries incurred as a result of an accident while operating or riding upon a motorcycle.

Motorcycle Safety Course. The Basic and Advanced Motorcycle Operator Training Courses meet the helmet exemption requirement. The Advanced Motorcycle Operator Training Course is recommended for experienced licensed motorcyclists.



Health Insurance Plan. Defined as " . . . an individual, group, blanket, or franchise insurance policy, insurance agreement, group hospital services contract, health maintenance organization membership, or employee benefit plan that provides benefits for health care services or for medical or surgical expenses incurred as a result of an accident."



Helmet Exemption Sticker. The Department of Public Safety issues Helmet Exemption stickers to persons who:

apply to the department on the form provided; and
own the motorcycle listed on the application;
provide adequate proof of successful completion of the Basic or Advanced Motorcycle Operator Training Course, or health insurance coverage, and,
pay a $5.00 non-refundable fee for each sticker applied for.
Persons operating, or riding upon, a motorcycle with a helmet exemption sticker displayed on the license plate or license plate mounting bracket are presumed to meet the training or insurance requirements for riding without a helmet.
(I found this part particularly interesting - Kat)


NOTE: Helmet Exemption stickers are serialized and may not be transferred from one motorcycle to another. The sticker expires on the third anniversary of their date of issuance.

So John, this sticker that is affixed to the license plate. Can one send proof to the Texas DMV and get one for a short weekend jaunt into the great state?
