I would not recommend lowering this bike. I bought an 06 RSV that had been lowered and it handled very bad and scrapped in turns. I was at the point of not wanting to run it anymore. I returned it to stock height and it now handles like it should. Having said that, Barons make a kit to lower it. Perhaps others could pipe in with their experiences. I know some have opted to do a seat mod instead.

OK - tried the cheap way to upgrade tail light to leds. Went to Canadian Tire and purchased 1157 Eurolites 360 led for $14 and it ended up being about half as bright as standard bulb. Looks like i will need to cave in and go with the Custom Dynamics 100 light unit. Those of you who have that one, have you noticed if they improve brightness over standard bulb? Also,any other options out there? Thanks.

Thanks for the great explanation. I checked last night and oil level is between half and 3\4 of the sight glass (with bike level). Will make sure that I pay attention to not adding too much at the next oil change.

You are welcome sir, just got some for our bike, we have composite helmets so used the ones with boom mikes. I did not buy the most expensive ones from J&M. They work great for intercom, but so so for music.

After extended rides (1h or more) I get a small amount of oil coming out of the tube right behind the kik stand. It is just enough to mark the concrete on the garage. Very dark and oily. Other than that not other leaks anywhere that I can see. Thanks

That would be correct, just make sure you order the one with the 5 pin connector (same one for HD's).

Here is a piicture of where they are installed with brake lights on. When they are off they practically disappear.

Ok finished the install. Will post pictures tomorrow night. Back of bike looks stock as the lights are so tiny but when they light up wow. Thanks for all the help guy's.

Ok thanks Off to the garage I go to do the install.

Thanks for the offer but looking at doing this tonight. Should be simple now that I know which wires do what.

Ok that helps confirm the wiring. Only remaining question is how to remove passenger seat? Thanks again for your help.

Thanks bongobobny, But i need to tie to harness under the seat as the lights will be attached to the bottom of the trunk and i do not want wires going down to the license plate. Ok I think I found it in another post, Yellow is brake Blue is running Brown is left turn Green is right turn Black is ground Is that correct?

Hi folks, Been searching site for an hour for what wires to connect to when adding extra brake lights. I am looking to install my Bikevis red bullets and am not sure what wires are what. I also have the modulator that will alow me to use them as running\brake. What color is the brake, ground, etc on the bike. Also looking to tying into the harness under seat. To do so, do i need to remove the passenger seat? If yes how is it done. Thanks in advance for helping me out.

I have been looking for these and cannot find them. Local HD dealer could not find in parts catalogue using part numbers provided. Where can we get them from? Thanks

Seaking I assume you mean the throttle cable?

Thanks Sarges46, will give it a try.

Hi folks, I have a couple of questions on how to use cruise control and on the odometer. When you set the cruise and release the throttle, is it normal for it to drop speed by about 5 m/h then resume the set speed? Also, when set, I rest my hand on the throttle, but seem to unintentionnaly twist the handle and increase speed. Any tricks on how to avoid doing this. I tried placing my palm on the counterweight end, but that induces countersteer and moves the bike. Any hints? For the odometer, can it be switched to KM instead of miles. The bike was originally sold in NH so it has Miles with KM inset on the speedo and odo is in Miles. If it can be done, how? Thanks

Hey, congrats. Love this colour, same as mine. :

They are actually white light, would have the same issue here with the blue lights. They make both blue and white though.

Just installed Bikevis LED Bullets on front on bike. Wanted something to catch the attention of cagers here as they are prone to cut you off. They even cut off transports without hesitation so bikers need all the help we can get. Made bracket to attach to front side reflectors and tied them into the wires for the fog/running lights. Used 2 on each side. Seem to make a difference as it is causing cagers to take a second look. Still need to be vigilant though. Will be installing similar bullets to the rear (red) so that they work in sink with brake light.

That is the colour of mine also. Hope you enjoy! Beautiful bikes in any colour but this one does stand outespecially in the sun, sems to light up.

Evan and Anne, Thanks for sharing your adventure. It was great to be able to follw your progress. Great pictures by the way. Anxious to go on an extended trip now.

Here is how it works here in NB. Gaz stations have two underground tanks, one for regular with 10% ethanol, the second is premium with no ethanol. When you select the mid-grade the pump pulls gaz from both tanks and blends them with the resulting 5% ethanol. Ethanol was only introduced here a couple years ago and for me i have seen substantiall reduction in mileage with it. And there are also the water issues with it. I use regular in the car, but high test or premium in the bike and snow blower and lawn mower. Hope this helps!
