Had the RK slash cuts on my 06 RSV, I liked the look as the slash flows on the same line as the bags, and they had a nice mellow tone that got deeper with age. Like someone said I had more money in the clamps then I paid for the pipes. Good Luck, Craig

Thanks Don, was not aware that Kevin had passed. Thoughts go out to his family at this difficult time. Unfortunately I cant remember ever meeting Kevin, sounds as tho it was my loss. RIP Kevin. Craig

Had the Samson fishtails on my RSV they looked awesome and the chrome is beautiful. They were too loud for me, bet if you look around you can find a pretty good deal on a used set. Both bikes look sweet, would love to have that harley front wheel on my trike! When my health gets alittle better need to get together for a ride, Allentown is only about 40mins from me. Craig

As our ole pal Dan would say "try some seafoam" RIP Dan Craig

Hey great to hear you like the bike, as afar as seat ht, you can have Rick Butler a forum member rework your seat to narrow the front nose and dish out the seat . He will get you low enough to flatfoot. You can also look at a Corbin seat, look for a used one they pop up all the time. You either love em or hate em but the will lower the seat ht a good 1.5 in. Once you remove those pipes and replace with Harley pipes I bet that popping goes away. They have a nice soft rumble that deepens with age and they are cheap! I never road a bike with heal toe shifter before my RSV and hated it just like you, but was told by some on here to give it a chance. I did and now I love it and wouldnt be without it. Makes shifting up and down so much easier. Just dont buy boots with long shoelaces:bawling: Enjoy the new scoot, Craig

Great shot of Dan RIP Craig

Thanks for the great Pics Peggy, really hated to miss this one. Thanks to whoever set up that tribute to Yammer Dan, it was a beautiful picture. Craig

Awe man I go away for a few days and miss all the good stuff? Was laying in a hospital bed at UPenn having a stem cell harvest. Sorta puts alot of things in perspective. Really sorry I missed MD and seeing some of the nicest people I have met in the last 12 yrs. Well maybe not quite as nice as those Oncology nurses. Craig

One more thing I forgot, on the Baggershield. I tried one and the line where the 2 sections overlap was rite in my line of site. Drove me nuts, sold it after one ride. If you go that route take some meas. to be sure that line isnt going to bother you. Craig

I am about your ht, so I will throw in my 2 cents. If you have the stock windshield your hands are gonna get wet, if you have a wider aftermarket like I do your hands stay pretty dry. Bobs idea on gloves is very good. If you are moving along at say 50mph and above you really dont get too wet on a RSV, usually just from my knees down. If you are in alot of stop and go you are gonna get wet. I tried cutting my shield down, its easy to do but I got so much buffeting it didnt stay on for more then 2 miles. I have the tallest widest Clearview and I keep it polished with Honda Polish at 60mph it stays pretty clear with rain beading up. Everyone I talk to says the Vmax rear is the best bang for the buck in performance upgrades, but there are lots of others. As always good tires properly inflated on wet or dry roads. Good Luck, Craig

Try to get in touch with Eck on this forum, he will talk you step by step thru alignment of rear end, and he his a great guy to shoot the bull with. Craig

Hey you were up in my neck of the woods, if you get up this way again let me know. Would love to see your new scoot and treat you to your choice of beverage. Glad to see you enjoying that beautiful bike. Craig

Well then you have 2 other options, find a girlfriend about 6'5" with legs that go on forever and have her put her feet down at stops. My wife wouldnt go for that, so I went with option #2 a trike:thumbsup: Craig

Had my 87 seat redone by Rick Butler, he narrowed the nose of the seat and also took out foam to sculpt a deeper bucket for lack of a better term. It helped some, but like you I only would put my left foot down on most stops. I also remember someone on here going with a lower profile tire. The seat work by Rick probably lowered me 1.5" Had the bike for a few years, I never dropped it but I never really felt comfortable on it either. I went with a 2006 RSV with a Corbin seat, could flatfoot no problem. Good luck, Craig

Thanks for the pics Jay,keep them coming! Craig

Awe you guys are killing me!!! I really hate to miss this MD, its like a big ole family reunion. Hope you guys have a great time! I am sure everyone will and there will be plenty of help to get you off that bike. Just remember to stake that tent down pretty good... Craig & Kim

Glad to hear she is home and doing well. A few extra pills a day is alot better then a procedure. Hope things continue to improve. All the best, Craig

Very sorry to hear this, will keep the family in our thoughts at this difficult time. Craig

Thanks for the pics and the info, is that wheel chromed or polished alum? Craig

I would be interested in the same thing, you got dibbs on the first one we come across but I am in for the second:mo money: Hope someone can help us out. Craig

First I would make sure the tank vent is clear and not causing the tank to vapor lock, when it stalls and you safely pull to the side of the road remove gas cap and listen for the sound of air being sucked into the tank. Second I would check to see if I hear the fuel pump clicking to fill up the carbs while the engine is cranking, it sounds like the fuel pump bit is on its way out. That is a common problem with some RSVs, You can just replace the points or replace the whole pump. Good luck, Craig

Nice job Ron, I figured you would just make your own wind deflectors, but the passenger footpegs worked out really nice. They dont call you the "Wiz" for nothin:clap2: Craig

Pretty sure Stardbog lost a windshield on the way to MD a few years ago. Part of my annual maint. has been to check those screws and also holes in windshield. Gotta be pretty scary watching that thing come flying rite at your head, glad you didnt go down. Craig

Glad to hear he was able to pull over and only have a minor crash, and that surgery wasnt necessary and that he is doing well in his recovery. I am sure it was very scary at the time, hopefully he has a full and speedy recovery. All the best, Craig

Skid could you provide Dans home address for those who would like to send a card. Thanks, Craig
