This is a great group. I moved to a GW and am still a paying member here.

Backing up on incline or gravel surface
jer878 replied to CaptainJoe's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I just put mine in nuetral and push the "reverse button" then push the starter switch to back up. OOOOPPPSSS that's on my WING. One of the several things I love about the WING. (Former RSV 07 blue/black owner.) -
fork oil or springs??
jer878 replied to Kregerdoodle's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I replaced the stock fork springs with "Sonic Springs" 1.2's and it improved the ride greatly. Also changed the oil. -
October 4th for a knee clean up. Then follow up on the 10th with a hernia repair. Should be in good shape by April

Handlebar Lever Reach - A Fix
jer878 replied to Mickey's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I had the same issue, I fixed it by getting an 08 Wing with adjustable levers. -
MY 07 RSV was insured for 11 g's plus another 3 in accessories. I sold it the first of June for 8500.00. It had 24,000 when I sold it with a lot of extras. I wanted it out of the garage to make room for my 08 Wing. I'm good with my selling price and the buyer got a good deal making me feel even better. I guess if I'd totaled it I could have gotten another 2500.00 but would have all that pain and bills. The wing is insured for 24,000 plus 3,000 for accessories, replacement value and costs me 360.00 a year 12 months of riding. just my .02

When the temps hit 95-100 you're going to cook on any bike. We were out NE 2 weeks ago when the big hot spell rolled thru. On our 08 wing the air temp was reading 101 running 70 mph thru Scranton, PA. It was hot!!!!

We just missed you. We spent the 15 & 16 in Niagara Falls ONT then the 17th in Watertown NY. On the 18th we road thru the Adirondacks including LK Placid across the ferry to Burlington VT. On the 19th we went south on 116 across 125 then south on 100 to 9 and across to 91 south. Ended up in Milford MA. The 20th we rode into Cape Cod & back out into RI. The 21st stayed in Hazelton PA. 22nd in Franklin PA visited my daughter and grandchildren. Was chop blocked by my 4 year old grandson and injured my knee. A little sore for the ride home on the 23rd and difficult getting on and off the bike but was a great trip. Of couse it would have been more enjoyable if the temps were in the low 80's instead of the high 90's. Going thru Scranton PA @ 70mph the air temp on the wing read 101deg, that was hot. Jim

It looks to like the same thing you see on cages only doesn't use a hitch. I would use this just as I do the "cooler carrier" on my bike that uses the hitch. I wouldn't be too concerned about LEO of course that's me IMHO.

I sold my 07 blue/black to a guy outside of Chicago but it had bag rails.

Larry taking 90 to 14 thru the Big Horn Scenic bypass is beautiful. Linda and I did that last year spent the night in Cody and into Yellowstone, then out 212 Beartooth. You'll love the scenery.

U R IN OhIo, it's understandable. Just kidding, thought I was talking with a co-worker. LOL

Do you run with the fuel valve on RESERVE?

Took an idea I saw on one of the GW sites. Purchased a Hopkins 4 pole plug and put it in the bottom trunk cover. A lot of work but it looks good is inconspicuous and should function just fine. I had a mental problem of the plug in the fender open to road debris and moisture. Here's some pics. Tomorrow I'm going to tackle the Utopia back rest. I very nervous about cutting the seat and the foam for the bar to slide through. I hope I don't pull one of these. Wish me luck. Jim
