Another good program to run is SuperAntiSpyware; it will sweep your system for any tracking data and malicious software.

But unfortunately you OVERESTIMATE the abilities of the general public. In the greater Chicago area having the ability to turn on red usually result the that driver feeling as though they have the right of way.

IF you put a "load" on each leg of the system, yes it does defeat most of the savings of LEDs. If you swap for a digital flasher relay or put the "load" (1 resistor) on the existing flasher relay it is beneficial to run LEDs

Got sidetracked at the office...

Ebr1190, easy to spot anything Buell with those front brake rotors.

Or you go below the engine guard and touch down on the pavement if you hustle around a corner to hard. Its a trade off. I've been eying some "rice-rocket" LED fog lamps at Advance Auto Parts, they are about 1.5" tall by 5" long. Once we warm up I'm going to look into mounting them in-line with (directly in front off) the lower bar of the engine guards.

-10 temperatures and 10-20 mph winds in Chicago. Spend the weekend in Wisconsin helping a friend move, he really didn't think that one through! Even on a battery tender in an insulated (but un-heated) garage the battery froze on the bike. Its to cold to even go out and fix the broken spring on the snow blower.

The wife's short, I kept the cut-offs from her chaps to use as a "packaging" band

Collecting parts to star my winter modifications come the start of February. So far I've picked up new steering head bearing because the previous owner had them SO loose when I purchase that the front end would chatter. I've tightened them up but you can feel a noticeable "flat spot" at center. I understand what needs to be done, but looking to see if there is a checklist or photo-instructions on everything that needs to come apart on a '99 RSV. Thanks

Pipes that fit any "modern" touring chassis harley. 2 mounting brackets, templates can be found in the tech forum. Muffler clamps, preferably chrome to cover the up the ends of the pipes.

I've looked at the Big Foot Mod and I've looked at this Tubeless Intake Mode: http://home.comcast.net/~tankerhank/site/?/page/Tubeless_Intake_Mod/&PHPSESSID=10230ee863099d68a1877bddc19cec5f The one thing I don't know about the Big Foot Mod, can you then remove the filter pods one each side? If so its much easier than trying to make the ABS intake tubes.

I've been looking to upgrade this bike, last one had a 100w bulb and LED markers. Where did you order from?

Any time you put and LED behind a colored lens you want to color match the LEDs to the lens. The easiest way to explain it...the Lens filters out certain wavelenghts/colors of light and with LEDs you will loose intensity.

I use to use Delorme Street Atlas, got so use to it I did everything backwards with Microsoft. Now I have a Garmin Nuvi765t (4 yrs old) but most of the features of the higher end Zumos. Garmin got smart and started taking away a lot of the features forcing you to buy the $500+ Zumos. I still use the older Garmin MapSource software that has the "create route" feature not in Basecamp. You can place your own waypoints along a route and plan your day trip. In one file you can do up to 1,000 waypoints and multiple routes. Load to a Garmin GPS that allows custom routes and you're all ready to go.

My 10ML4 Ariens is from 1964 and still starts up first pull, these old tecumseh L head motors don't put out big power but they are stout. Brother-in-law has a 1977 92400 8hp that is just as much a beast as mine. As stated earlier you probably have some ice build up in the carb bowl. Good quality fuel and Stable are your friend.

Red dual intensity LED rings that you put around the stock 1156/1157 bulbs. I had them on my Virago years ago and on my Concours. I still have them sitting in my parts bin but haven't had the urge to put them on the RSV. The are ok, but they don't have a whole lot of light output.

Bought the bike in late July, '99 with 50k. Just need to make sure maintenance is up to snuff, not knocking the bike, just needed some time with her.

I've planned to do an IB Lake Michigan Loop for a few years now. 1st time HD was in the shop with a blown charging system. 2nd time I blew an oil seal on the Concours a week before my ride date. I have yet to have enough time to go through and maintain/tweak the RSV to even put a date on the calendar. One of these days!

I linked to the HD model, you linked to the Goldwing model. I've only owned this bike for 4 months and haven't purchased a headset for it yet...What model do our intercom pins align with?

Plug & Play http://www.spoiledbiker.com/product3326.html Or one ment for the Harmon Kardon radio in the HD, might require some modification to work in a Venture. http://www.hdbomm.com/ Owned and still repair a few HD's...I remembered seeing these a few years back.

Overlooked that in the SM10 details. Thanks for the info. Edit: No Audio output on the SM10. DUH!

Not necessarily correct. You can use a stereo 3.5mm plug and have transmit on one leg and receive on other leg of the plug with DIGITAL AUDIO. This is how most headphones included with iPhone/Android have the mic built into the cord.

I Modified my G4 and removed the hard-wired speakers and installed a 2.5mm jack. I would use standard ear bud headphones when riding with my 1/2 helmet. There were instruction on the ADV forum, and someone who would perform the mod for you.

Very close! Blaupunkt is a German electronics and audio manufacturer, they use to be bigger in the US as part of the Bosch group but have since split and now are mainly in the EU. As for the device, we were able to mish-mash what was left of the stock GPS software with bits and pieces of other software from other markets. Basically taking a Working Non-English software and replace it with the English bits & pieces. The GPS still works great, and we found a freeware updated map, but it has a serious identity crisis with Navi-Blue on the front, Caliber splash screen, and Blaupunkt on all the controls.

I've never shied away from tinkering...but the one project me and my buddy walked away from scratching our heads was a WinCE based NaviBlue GPS. Still not sure what we did but it now thinks it's a Blaupunkt
