Dang SilverT I quickly looked at your name and saw only the "T".. and automatically thought it was swifty who posted that... Im going to leave it though just for him.. Goes with your post though.. my eyes played a game on me..!! Sorry bud..wrong guy...

Dang Swifty, and here I was beginning to wonder if you could post a nice thread, but you passed the test on this one. Very informative post. Thanks

My opinion (for what it is worth) Air flow.... I feel is the same. I put HD mufflers on my RSV. It made the sound "throatier" (a little deeper). Other then that I didnt notice anything else. Airflow however, one would have to really measure that using a gage, which I did not.

Hey JerryK, Dont feel bad here brother, I have been a day late before in my life too............ http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=75590

I have heard many speak of that same grinding noise and I am with the opinion that all RSV's front wheels sound that way. Mine did it from day one. Had mine for 5 yrs and it always made that noise. Provided the brake pads are not wore down to where the metal pad base is against the rotor then you will be OK. You could buy some spray brake pad cleaner, and with a garden hose ready, carefully spray down the brake pads and calipers and quickly rinse. It could be a small stone caught inbetween the pad and rotor, but you would hear this when you turn the wheel by hand....If you do not hear the grinding sound turnign it by hand then I personally woulnd worry about it and would get on it and continue to ride it.

I agree midnightrider...

....

Took mine out for a ride today for about an hour/. Didnt go real far but it put a smile on my face...

Next thing you know Dragonrider will be painting his bike to match the ship he was on...

Jeff, Yours does look "somewhat" home made.. I was thinking on the lines of one that uses collet diameter adapters ...such as those shown in attached pic

261 miles............4.5 hr ride.... If...I bring my wife it will be around 425 miles and take more than 9 hours:buttkick:

I think it is called a Mortising Attachment http://c52bw405der1587.blogspot.com/2012/01/anytime-tools-18-pcs-drill-press-wood.html

I remember paying WELL over that amount for two Avons for my 05 Silver.. Suggest you do a visual on the side walls upon reciept.. make sure no cracks are in side walls and verify tires are not outdated.

I wish I could play 1/3 as well as this guy.. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXv9fISxGv8&feature=player_embedded]Best fingerstyle guitarist in the World -Tommy Emmanuel-Classic gas + tab - YouTube[/ame]

I used to have a bear and I got it from the salvation army store for $1.00 I also found a small leather vest for a buck, a small pair of overalls - looked like bluejeans for a buck, a pair of small leather shoes that were for a baby. I then added some motorcycle pins and patches I had laying around the garage to the leather vest. I added a small pair of childs sunglasses which I sewed to the side of the bears head next to his ears to hold them on. I cut a small hole in the bears left paw and inserted a small piece of romex household wire down its arm so that I could bend it to the position of the bear actually waving, and the wire held it in place. I used a bungee cord to hold the little pest on my passenger seat. I added some beads around its neck that I accumulated... hummmm All in all I had around 4 or 5 bucks tied up in her. I named her "Maybe"............ "Maybe" she would be there when I got back and then again, "Maybe" she would.. Check her out... she was a cutie...(see attached pic). One day I came out and she was sitting there. I took off and when I stopped I realized she bailed out on me somewhere between TN and North Al. I figured if she wanted to stay with me she would still be on the seat.

Nanci, Just wanted to send a thanks for everything you do for us.!!

I think you are all NUTS.......... ............. I enjoy liver and onions but my wife cant stand it and wont cook it.. but the rest of the "body parts" mentioned in the above posts you can all have...just not for me.
