Avon Venom-X MT90B16 won't fit
Eck replied to Trimster's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I would say you have the right size tire for your 07.. I deleted all my tire size info and cant verify the exact size right now.. 07's do not have a wider rim.... that I am aware of anyway... The two bead edges of the tire you have may so be very close together from the tire lying on its side or even having other tires stacked on top of it while it was lying on its side, thus smashing it flat per-say.. With the two beads so close together, it wil be very difficult to get the bead to seat on the rim long enough to get any air in it.. Having a "big blast" of air will help push the two beans apart helping the force of the tire against the bead. You can try removing the vale core from the valve stem to give you a little extra volume of air too.. When mounting your tire, I'm sure they used a rather slipper soap to put the tire on the rim and that too will make it even more difficult.. If you still have the tire mounted on th erim, you can try wiping all the soapy -slipery stuff off the two tire beads and from the rim best you can. Place a piece of rope around the outer periphery of the tire but in the center of the tire tread, and using a long screw driver, piece of wood or something, twist the rope around and around to tightne up around the tire. This should help spread or open the two beads appart from eachother a little and then force air into the tire.. NOTE: As soon as the bead grabs the rim, untwist the rope rapidly..... do not get your fingers between the rim and tire bead when filling it with air.. (No need to ask how I know this...) I deleted all my tire size information, but I am almost certain the tire you have IS the right size for your 07 bike....... -
I dont feel its done with mirrors at all... Fasinating to watch the tallented riders though.. I have seen many movie peg / videos of riders doing stunts like that and they are coming out more and more often.

Here are some more grandpa words of wisdom: Whether a man winds up with the nest egg or a goose egg depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries. Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar. Too many couples marry for better or for worse, but not for good. When a man marries a woman, they become one, but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one. If a man has enough "horse sense" to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never be an old nag. Judgin' from the specimens they pick for husbands, it's no wonder that brides often blush. On anniversaries the wise husband always forgets the past...but never the present. A foolish husband remarks to his wife: "Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin', and scrubbin'. No wife of mine is gonna work." The bonds of matrimony are a good investment only when the interest is kept up. Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, make bed, and is in good health...and he's already used to taking orders. best one for last... Grandpappy and his wife were discussin' their 50th wedding anniversary when she said, "Shall I kill a chicken tonight?" "Naw," said Grandpappy, "Why blame a bird for something' that happened 50 years ago?"

Keep in mind your looking at a 2006 year model, and (2) of the (5) year warrenty has already been used up.. You will only be getting the remaining (3) years of warrenty when transfered to your name.... Just a reminder that you will not have a full 5 years of warrenty...

Well, I asked my wife, and she said not knowing what the pin is actually made out of, she doubts that it can be soldered back on with out damaging the front part from the heat. She said (as others here suggested) to use a good strong glue.

If you can hold on for a couple days, I will ask my wife to see if she knows and if not she can ask her jewlery class teacher. My wife is taking silversmith jewlery classes and her teacher is very knowledgeable in jewlery making.. He does small repairs lsuch as this as show & tell training in his classes. I will get back to you with an answer...
