  1. Hi All It has been awhile since my last update so I thought I would give you all an update on how the Single Carb is working The summer and Riding Season is nearing the end for this year in my Area, cool evenings with Foggy mornings and summer temps during the day, and unfortunately I am still a working stiff so Riding time is limited. Went out yesterday and toured the countryside with the misses and my 3 riding Buddies to check out the fall colors. The Bike ran better than ever so I did a Mileage check, we ran 212 Km before I filled the tank, the Guage was fluttering on the last bar and the warning light flashing when I pulled into the Gas Station, I filled up and it only toke 15 Litres of fuel of the max capacity of 20L, doing the calculation that works out to approx 39MPG, not bad for 2 up riding, a combination of Highway , secondary Highways hills etc. the VW Pict 34 is working great, I am still running it with the Electric Choke active, I know I am running on Choke occasionally as when we get to a stop sign the Bike is on a higher Idle and I need to give it a crack or 2 of the Throttle to get it back to an Idle. Although I liked the concept of the electric Choke I will be going back to a Manual cable Choke to help improve the Fuel Mileage, between this and re-jetting it will be a different Bike next year. Due to all the rain we got this summer, I have not taken the time to correct the scrapping floorboards and decided to leave this for the winter so I did not take away from the few good riding days we had , same holds true for the Leaking front fork seals. The Kenda Kruz K673 tires have performed awesome through all riding conditions including a 6 Km Gravel stretch of Roadwork we went through yesterday, anyone looking for an inexpensive Tire these tires are for you a set of Front 71H and Rear 77H at Revco.ca here in Canada delivered to my house for $260 Cdn plus taxes. With Regards to the Air suspension settings I have found the ideal settings for me as most here suggested no air up front with the progressive springs and for the rear Medium when Driving Alone and High with the Wife on the back. again this may change once I get more lean angle and no leaking front forks. needless to say I am more than pleased on how the Bike running and I am enjoying the comfort everytime we hit the road. Have a good night all Herman

  2. Baron/LA Choppers Oval Bag-Slash Slip-On Mufflers (BA-1030) $150 including shipping in the CONUS I purchased these new in 2020 for a 2005 RSV but they should fit 1999-2013. They have less than 1,000 miles on them and are in excellent condition except for some scratches on the bottom of one of them. (The scratches aren't visible when they're installed) They have removable baffles with packing and the ceramic tips can be reversed to angle up or down. They give the RSV a nice deeper sound without being obnoxiously loud. $150 Including shipping in the CONUS
