    Get the LEDs that are yellow for turn and red for stop....... BUT I hope the yellow overrides the red!!!!!

    Just get the RLAP video above. Watch it. PRACTICE it!!! Attend a Motorcyle Safety Foundation rider course where you ride your bike!!!! Practice!!!!!!!! These bikes are NOT "top heavy" IF you know how to ride one....... Practice!!!!!!!

    I leave the bike in gear at all stops, until I get at LEAST 4 cars stopped behind me, then I MIGHT think about putting it in neutral... I watch the rear views when stopped. What should I do at a toll booth to be as safe as I can be????? If it is a manned booth, I might hand the money with my right hand, or if ridding 2 up have my passenger handle the money, but what do you do at an unmanned booth riding solo??? I guess I should get an EZ Pass for my bike.....

    GREAT TIP!!!!! I will use it AND watch my rearview mirror!!!!!! The only other issue is I cant figure out how to keep the bike in gear, as I will probally have to use my left hand to pay the toll so I cant hold the clutch in.... unless I am on my Panhead.

    I look for it in 2010 as that is when the EPA tier 2 emissions standards come into effect and I don't see how a carburetted engine will pass....but I am an armchair motorcycle engineer Yamaha has spent a lot of Yen on the R&D of the V-Max and traditional the RSV and V-Max have shared engine parts but not engines, so one can extrapolate that if the RSV is to survive as a 3rd generation it will have the new V-Max motor but with less power as IMHO Yamaha would be shooting itself in the foot it the V-Max motor was directly installed in a touring bike, but we can hope.................. In late 2009 I might put my 2007 RSV up for sale..... I want fly by wire, variable valve timing & EFI and the performance improvements that come with it!!!! More and smoother power application and better fuel economy!!!!!!! but the trade off is a higher R&D cost which is hopefully absorbed by the V-Max buyers. I cant WAIT till V-Max sightings are a yawn fest, meaning there are LOTS of them on the roads. This would probably bring down the cost of the 3rd Gen RSV. IF they want to put traction control and ABS on the RSV than I am all for it, but IMHO Yamaha is shooing for the entry level touring bike, when you ONLY look at the initial purchase price, so they might not make it on the new bike. Compare the RSV to any touring bike (full fairings, hard bags and trunk with a stereo and two up seating) and the RSV has the lowest MSRP. IMHO it also has the most Bang for the Buck, Euro, Pound or Yen. Time for me to get off my electronic soapbox.

    Also, doesent the new V-Max use the engine as a frame componet? If so, you could get rid of part of your frame..... It might be easyer just to wait for the 2010 RSV.

    Click HERE to see Seafoam's web site on where to buy it... an alternative is to use Coleman, or other brand of Camp Fuel at about 50% the concentration that you would use Seafoam as it does not have the alcohol that Seafoam has. I found this at www.answers.yahoo.com after readign the MSDS for both procucts, I would have to agree.

    Don't forget Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for LED dimming.

    I would recommend grounding back at the point on the bike that the battery ground connects at, in an attempt to keep ground loops to a minimum. I did.

    Not to diminish their service, but would a uniformed person or liveried qualify as a costumed person? I.e.: Police, postal worker, UPS driver, Army, Cost Guard, Air Force, Navy, Marine, National Guard, Doctor, Nurse, Auto Mechanic, Pit Crewman, Race Car Driver, Fast Food Worker, Hooters Girl, etc....... I ask as I see some of these fine people every day.

    I kinda like the stelthy look of the natulis horns. The Compcat Truck horn is a little bigger than the Copmpact natulis horn. Last night I was loooking at the Compcat Truck horn and yes it too will come appart. I will look in the upper fairing and the lower fairings for a mounting location, as it does not look like it will fit well under the trunk as a unit, but I have yet to seperate the horn from the compressor..... I'll look again.
