SilvrT Posted August 31, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2015 As per a couple other threads I'd indicated we might be buying this '89 Wing. Turned out to be less of a bike that was made out to be so we passed on it. Stopped at a couple dealers on the way home and picked up a 2005 Road Star Midnight. Ya... we're now owners of a Roady! Pretty much all stock except has Mustang seat. We spent a bit more than I was prepared to spend but, the "Devil" made me do it. (Nina aka the Devil ) pics to follow once I get home. Any other Roady or ex-Roady owners out there have a link to a shop manual, I'd be forever in your debt .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted August 31, 2015 Also, if anyone has an accessories, etc for it that they want to sell (or give away ) ... let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be hurrying back home too worrying about whether a tree was lying across my house or not. Hope yours was spared. Next time for sure.

BlueSky Posted August 31, 2015 Share #7 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Any other Roady or ex-Roady owners out there have a link to a shop manual, I'd be forever in your debt .... I buy too many manuals, but one I bought on ebay was a disc of all the Yamaha V4 bikes for about $15. It covers all the Ventures, Road Stars, etc. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=yamaha+royal+star+manual&rmvSB=true&_sop=12&_fspt=1&_mPrRngCbx=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xyamaha+road+star+manual.TRS0&_nkw=yamaha+road+star+manual&_sacat=0 Edited August 31, 2015 by BlueSky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted August 31, 2015 You're in trouble. You went right by my house! I'd be hurrying back home too worrying about whether a tree was lying across my house or not. Hope yours was spared. Next time for sure. Doug ya, it was pretty bad down here but we didn't have any trees or anything blown down near our place. About the only thing the wind did was blow my garbage can over. Power had been out though but was back on when we got home ... still no internet or TV though. Enroute thru Surrey from the freeway though we saw a lot of leaves and branches all over the place and several downed trees. Traffic lights weren't working so that was causing a bit of delay.

Oh jeeez, I almost forgot .... thanks puc for the "subtle reminder" LOL As for the report, that will have to wait coz I trailered it most of the way home. Did ride it some though ... gobs of torque, handles very good, took it up to 130 km/h but had to back off coz my helmet was almost getting blown off my head and my eyes were watering up LOL ... wasn't quite prepared for all that wind in my face!

Dale124 Posted September 2, 2015 Share #17 Posted September 2, 2015 Very nice, Rick. I'm not sure why anyone with a gorgeous bike like your Victory would want to spend time on a different bike, but that's just my opinion. Enjoy, my friend. Dale.
