Fantastic! Hope you can find those notes!

Yep....a filter on the 12volt line feeding the GPS should take care of the ignition noise.

Me either.....

I like the idea of using any extra $$ to help our members that may need it... Good idea....we just need a volunteer artist. David

Patti, You and Don are welcome here in Southern Arizona...but don't come until Oct.15th when the heat breaks. From then till May...you are good! Enjoy the retirement and the travels! david

Eck, is that the same color as the 05 RSV has? Sure looks close. If so...can you let out where you got paint and what color number? I have some painting I want to try on my 05....and she is silver. Thanks, david

Agreed...lawyer up! Glad you are OK. Geesh...what is going on with the world that people have to lie? Guess he's afraid he may lose his job...well...now he probably will for lying to cops! Be curious if his company sticks with him or the truth.... Good luck...and keep us informed as to what happens. We all need to know how to handle these things ...in case we have to deal with same/similar issues! Prayers Up! david

Scott....take life one day at a time..be thankful for all that surrounds you and ..."Prayers Up!" P.S. ready for you and Tip to come down and ride my part of the country....when it's cooler! david

I learned to! Went off and tried shifting without clutch on 1st Gen. Worked like a charm!

Dang...really looks like fun. Ah well....

Went for my Sunday morning ride. One of my usual haunts is Madera Canyon. Cooler up there...I live on the other side of this Valley you can see way off in the distance. Try to leave before 7 am...get back before 10. To dang hot after that. Oh, breakfast burrito was good.

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing... david

It's an alternative to triking or not riding at all.......and it's a good alternative. I think I would do that before I would trike.

Clive, Normally you have a left and right hot wire and a left and right ground wire. But sometimes you can combine the grounds if the amplifier allows it. If the amp has separate grounds, then keep the connections that way. Combining them in those circumstances can cause you to lose stereo separation on some amps....and on others the amps are not happy campers. On the VR, the 5 pin connection is also wired for microphone. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?499-Headset-Pin-Out-Diagram To make a minijack output.....just tie into the left, right and ground wires. You will have to google or search this site for the pin outs on the minijack...I've long forgot that tidbit of knowledge! The rest of that diagram is self-explanatory and not needed for adding a mini stereo jack to system....but fun to read. Anyway, it's an easy thing to do. Although I simply ordered the edset adapter. I'm tired of soldering! david

Clive, True...but also make sure your rear master cylinder is not to full. Brake fluid expands...and if you are right on the line of being to full, just a little bit of brake drag would heat up the fluid enough to where the .5 inch free play isn't enough. In other words, the brake drag you had might have heated up the fluid, which expanded it's normal amount, but that added to the brake drag even more. Your .5 inch could have been enough free play if the fluid level was lower.... Again, thinking out loud here...

That's the way mine are mounted. solid as a rock and easy to remove when needed! Good job... david

Really nice work! Love the seats! Drivers seat looks really comfy..... Thanks for sharing!! david

Once was enough for me. Went to the 50th. Filmed it. Party central and rode. Incredible experience. Your son will have very tired eyes by the end of the week! Enjoy the ride! david

Where is your shaft linkage in relation to the adjusting nuts? The adjusting nuts on my shaft are about halfway to both ends...leaving the link between the shaft and the rod above...almost vertical. The brake pedal rod (#71) and the "boss"(part #77).....page G2 on the parts diagram pdf....

Leave it in reserve and count your miles using the counter. No laughing...I've done this too! david

Do you have the owners manual or the service manual? The procedure for adjusting the pedal free play, pedal throw and brake light all need to be done in sequence or it won;t work. I don't remember the exact sequence but know the info is available here. Look in the Maintenance only section for 1st gens... david

That's what I have...Edsets adapter. Works fine. Also allows the other direction. You can add an MP3 player or your phone output to the adapter and it will play through the system. Since I have headphones in my helmet, I have several choices. Plug in the earbuds for noise reduction and better audio...or use the helmet speakers and plug in an mp3 to listen to my own mix of tunes. You can also make your own adapter...with a stereo mini female plug, some small wire (4 conductor), heat shrink tubing and a little ingenuity. There are tons of the 5 pin plugs...male and female out there...since this type of plug goes way back to the old style computer keyboards.... Lots of choices... david

Me thinks this might be a good pin candidate. Simple and easy to do. with great pics! Thanks, PM...

4 lane....divided.
