Hi Larry, The place is Coach Guard and all they do is paint protection and make banners They do a lot of dirt and racing bikes with the protection. He had a couple Harley fenders in there doing them when I was there. I'll let you know how they turn out. Also thanks for the lift adapter it worked great. The Trike was really stable on it once I found the center point on it. Only problem I had was with the floorboards on it I couldn't get my HF lift in far enough to catch the far rail on the adapter. I ended up welding 2.5 inch square tubing on the lift rails that were 2.5 inches longer so I could reach the other side of the adapter. Worked great after that. John

Thanks everyone. I guess I will find out how I like it next week. It is removable but not easy to take off the dealer said. I am having them put it on top of the running board also so I don't scratch the running board when I use the pegs or when wife steps on.

Just triked the 07 RSV. Has anyone used the 3M Paint Protection Film to guard against chips or scratches. I have mine scheduled to go in next week to get it done but am wondering if anyone has any experience with how it looks or lasts. I know it has a UV protector in it so the paint won't fade underneath it but is there anything else I should know. Coach Guard is installing it for $215.00. All replies appreciated John [ATTACH]75873[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]75874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]75875[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]75876[/ATTACH]

Vern, When I bought my 07 I had to take it back 3 times before they got it fixed. The first time they just put dielectric grease in the conectors. The second time they replaced the head control on the handlebars and the third time they replaced both the head control and the main box under the fairing. It's been working perfect ever since. Take it back to the dealer, they may not like having to work on it but they have no choice. It' too bad they are such an ass to work with. Good luck:thumbsup2:

Pacific Coast Star - Potato Chip Seat
Hart replied to TonyLudwick's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
I did have them rebuild a seat for my V-Star but not the chip seat. It was as good as they said it would be and I did get to try it for a week before I sent the old seat back. They were great to work with IMO. John -
In 98 I had a hunting accident. Broke my back in two places, split my pelvis in two, broke two ribs and my arm. Spent 4 weeks in the hospital, 8 weeks home recovery, 7 month in therapy. During that time if I needed to go to the store I had to use the motorized carts that the stores provided. I was amazed at the number of people who made comments (loud enough for me to hear) about me being in that machine and if I can't walk I should stay home. That certainly changed my outlook on the disabled, it made me realize a disability can be for any reason not just something visable and not something permanent. I too live with a lot of pain because of the accident. Uncle Arthur has moved into alot of my broken areas and It makes it hard to bend and hard to sit for more than a couple hours at a time. The only time I really don't notice the discomfort is on my bike, 6 min or 6 hours makes no difference. Sometimes when I feel bad all it takes is a short ride and I usually feel better. I can't explain it, maybe it's the vibration, who knows but it sounds like it works for a few of us. Great post, it should be required reading for everyone. John

Not sure yet! I've never used synthetic in any vehicle i've owned be it 2 or 4 wheels. There's so many different opinions out there I might try both to see if theres much difference in shift or whine. Is there any problems going from one to the other. Gladly take suggestions on whitch one to try first. Probably try Rotella 15w40 dino and 10w40 syn. John

Their using Spectro 4 non synthetic. Thanks everyone
-
Sorry to start this again but found out my dealer has been using Spectro 10w40 for oil changes. So far I haven't had a problem with it and there's very little whine. Anyone else use it. I would like some thoughts or concerns with the oil since I can't find much info on the web about it. I'm thinking of changing to Rotella 15w40 and doing the changes myself. Thanks in advance John

Nice tool for the bad guys, they won't need to bring bolt cutters anymore. Slip it under your bike and roll it away.
