Hey Everyone, This will be my final update on the Shim Kit Saga. I received word from USPS saying they were NOT going to honor the Insurance Claim because they were used parts, and I wanted to keep the shims that actually made it all the way home! In other words, they would take possession of 55 shims, the Bucket Tool, Feeler Gauges, and the busted up case, and give me $200.00. I said, "No Thanks"! So in the future, I won't be wasting my money on USPS Insurance! On another note, The "New" Shim Kit is all back together, with about 90 shims in it, and all of the tools you will need to complete this service. At this point, I want to thank EVERYONE that has kicked in to help me replace the shims. I want to assure you that I spent every penny on new shims for the kit. And lastly, I am not back to work at my "Day Job" yet from my recent surgery, but I am on the mend and getting around pretty good these days. All of my kits I offer, as well as the Shim Kit Loan are being offered again. The only exception to this would be the Block Off Plates. I haven't been allowed to fire up the milling machine yet by my wife. If everything goes well at my next doctor's visit, I should be back to work mid March. I can't tell you how grateful I am to be sitting here still on this planet, and chatting with this wonderful group of people! So, if anyone needs the Shim Kit, or anything else for that matter, just let me know! Also Thank you EVERYONE for the support during this trying time! Earl

I got my shop back, so it was time to go to work on my solo ride I have had on my bucket list. Pretty close to being done. Can hardly wait to get it out. It has a 14,000 mile engine, 22,000 mile final drive, rims and all new bearings, new fork seals and progressive springs and tune up. I am thinking that it is going to be a fun ride. Orlin

I just checked my subscription knowing it expires in March, it says they autopay now. That’ll save me a headache most years when I forget it until I can’t post🤣🤣🤣. One more thing jumped in my memory bank, BOSS IS HAVING ANOTHER BIRTHDAY TOMORROW. Have a good one Don.

We had a lot of rain yesterday and washed all the road salt away. Today we are expecting a high in the 40s and low in the 30s. I think I am going to ride to and from work. I need it.

Or you can do as I did and install a set of Sonic straight rate springs and never have to put air in your forks again.

Hello everyone. New RSV owner here. I traded my 2003 Honda ST1300 for an '06 RS Midnight Venture a couple days ago to give myself a more upright seating position. I've been digging through a bunch of old threads to find answers to the questions I've had, and have to say thank you.

A snapshot of two weeks of weather in KY. We got 5.6” of rain yesterday. Roads that were under 6” of snow a week ago are under 2’ of water today.

Hello neighbor! Welcome to Trike Talk!

I would love to make it there again, It would be in a cage but that is better than nothing. It will all come down to medical issues again.

Agreed. Just don't need a ton of clothes on the road.

So they wont insure "used parts". But yet every salvage yard on E-bay ships stuff UPS and USPS n FedX. Hmm So what do you do about shipping next time. Tell them its all new parts?

I am scared to use that line. The risk outweigh the benefits. I can’t go hungry. ☺️

My wife wouldn’t ride with me until I got the ‘09 RSV. The ‘83 Venture just didn’t do it for her! Now she has bought in to riding and touring. I’m loving it!

I did get lucky, just wanted to post this so if anyone else is looking to purchase these just found more on eBay for about same price.

Show off !! You got a really good deal !

My little guy has gotten to the point of showing the girls HIS motorcycle at car shows....
