I bought an economy, long range scope based on a couple YouTuber's reviews a couple months ago. When I received it, I was impressed with the apparent build quality so I decided I would build a new long range whole punch to go under it. I was considering my options and leaning toward a Ruger Precision Rifle in .308. It looks to be a great system out of the box and reasonably priced, though still expensive. While down in VA for a family reunion, I found a new bang stick shop and spent a few hours trading lies and drooling on their stock when the proprietor asked me what I would say if he could show me .308ish ballistics from an AR15 platform. He then went on to educate me on the 6mm ARC from Hornady. After a few minutes googling the round, I decided to buy the parts to build a Upper in 6mm ARC. After gathering everything up, the nice young man offered to assemble the upper free of charge. BONUS! I ended up with an Aero Precision upper receiver(no forward assist) and Aero Precision 12.5 M Lock forearm with a Ballistic Advantage 18" barrel, rifle length gas tube and adjustable gas block. Capped with the Silencer Co. QD muzzle device. OH, some nice Trump 2024 graphics on the dust cover. Here it is mounted on my Fight! lower with the 30cal JK suppressor and Magpul bipod.

It is possible that you need to rebuild the master cylinder. It's not a difficult or expensive job, but sometimes necessary.

+1 on the Nexen. Easiest tire change I've ever done and great ride/performance.

Seat Repair/Refurb/Upgrade

I had a custom saddle made for my '83 by Diamond Customs out of FL a while back. Pretty sure they have the RSV covered as well. IRC, I had to call to order as they don't have the Ventures listed on the web site. They were very easy to deal with and the saddle was fantastic. -

Black Cherry got her yearly bath this morning. A little late this season, but I've been on the road a lot this year.

I used to put new plugs in my '83 and '86 every year, but I haven't changed the plugs in my '06 RSV since 2019.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2730016183875736/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks I found this on the FB Marketplace in Memphis. It might be a solid investment for a parts bike for someone in the near vicinity. If I had room to store it I'd be taking it home with me.

Hate to be "that guy" but, I have never shut off the petcock on my '06 RSV and never had a problem with fuel smell or hydro lock. Maybe just lucky? (maybe just stupid 🤪).

Has anyone here installed the Govee permanent out door LED puck lights on their home? I see a multitude of "Reviews" on youtube and some installation tips, but I 'd like to get some first hand perspective before I install them. I've wanted to do something like this since we moved into the "new" (built in 1880) house. The price tag was a bit above my comfort zone. Then I found three sets of the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 for the price of one set at an unclaimed freight type store, so I snagged them up. I just need to get the eaves scraped and painted before tackling the lights installation. Like I said, any insights?

Stuttering and quitting

Looks like a double post. I responded to the other one. -
The easiest place to start is looking for vacuum leaks in the intake circuits and inspecting/cleaning the ignition wire connections. Have the carbs ever been synchronized?

Pretty sure the RSV plastics are interchangeable year to year. Not so for the Gen 1 MK1 and MK2. I could be wrong but someone here will correct me if I am.

Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust knife sharpener
luvmy40 replied to luvmy40's topic in Watering Hole
I also have the WS Mk2(and Mk1) without the tool sharpening kit. It does do a great job quickly on most edges. I like it very much, but the ProPrecAdust is just head and shoulders above it for a hair splitting edge. The MK2 is probably the better choice for longer blades, but for pocket knives and shorter fixed blades, the ProPrecAdjust is quick and easy.
