I usually ride with a tall shield too, having the two piece Baggershield let me play with making new different shape uppers that turned into a game. I was talking to the guy I bought this from and talk turned to wind noise and turbulence on his Harley and he showed me this. I took the upper off and tried it and was impressed, the fact I can flip 4 buttons and adjust it anytime goes right along with my tinkering mind. I can look thru, look over, get more air, less air, etc. Its probably not for everybody but I threw it out there for everybody to see.

Yep. My youngest daughter and I spent a big part of the summer playing with windshield shapes, she’s studying to be an aerospace engineer so playing with aerodynamics was fun. The ones we made with a return lip were best but created a blurry line, this fixes that.

https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/mra-x-creen-tour-variable-windscreen-spoiler-blade?sku_id=1045727 I’m gonna post this here because it’s universal for bikes. It’s a fully adjustable windshield spoiler, you can adjust height and angle without tools. I got one from a local friend (yes I actually have friends) that bought both clear and smoke but likes clear better. He told me he loves it on his HD, I was skeptical but plopped down the cash and holy cow we love it. I clamped it on the lower half of a Bagger Shield, set it just below my sight line, and tilted it out a bit. It acts as a vent and spoiler in one. I have smooth air AND the marm says she feels much less turbulence. I was worried about the lack of width but it works for us. I haven’t used it in the rain yet but have had it up to 85-90 on the slab with no issues. The clamps swivel all directions to fit any curve or use the optional bolt on mounts.

I don’t understand how the Covid became so politicized other than an opportunity to blame someone. A virus cannot be controlled by a politician but panic can be controlled by media. My area has been partly shut down for months, masks required, and numbers are climbing. I may get it, I may die from it but I refuse to hide from it, blame it on my right of freedom or on my stupidity if you want. Now here are some facts, researched and checked: Percentage of deaths of US population. .07% or 1/1500. Percentage of deaths of positive cases 2.5%. I voted for who I believe to be best for the country, not who thinks they control my health.

Thanks Don.

Boy oh boy do I want to reply to that, but being the nice little rule follower I am I’ll leave it alone. No politics here boss nope none whatsoever.

Then you have a Royal Star Venture. Look in the 2nd gen tech library for brake information. 1983-85: Gen 1 MK1 86-93: Gen 1 MKll 99-2013 Gen 2 2018- Gen 3. The gen 2s don’t have linked brakes.

Oh, I definitely voted for the right one, just hope enough others do too.
-
Hopefully the punch marks are denoting that the 2nd gear issue has been fixed.

I’ve heard it the other way around. Eating group with a riding disorder.

PLEASE don’t be talking voting. This here election is about to wring out what little patience I have left. We’re going on a two day ride just to get away from it. We voted early just to get away.
-
But we bring so much more to the table it’s worth y’all paying to see it. I’m not saying if it’s more knowledge, wisdom, humor, or pure BS.

Motorcycles and eating, aren’t those the requirements for being here? Oh wait there are some cages, Harleys, and Honda’s here too so I guess it’s just eating.

I think the marm and I are gonna make a two day trip over to Cumberland Falls and up to Red River Monday-Tuesday. (Yes we voted early-no we didn’t mail it in so we have the time). I’d tell you which ticket we punched but being offline last week showed me what the penalty box looks like🤣🤣🤣. Anyway back on topic has anyone here rode that area? We’ve ridden the Daniel Boone parkway and the park is nice, should have good color now. We won’t have much time so I’m looking for the highlights. She’s never been to the falls, we went to Niagara Falls last year so these may be a little underwhelming.

Right there with ya. Wife n daughters have all those touch screens, proximity keys, back up cameras, yada yada yada on their vehicles they somehow convinced me to buy for them. I drive a 20 year old Chevy 4x4 that I can wrench on. I trust that truck over them all, won’t hesitate to go anywhere in it.
-
Hey I resemble that.
-
It had me in Maine. Does that mean I can add it to my visited states map?😇

I thought we spoke English here???? My technophobia is why I didn’t buy that new 18 Venture that was on here for 12k a few months ago. This “everything has to be on a computer” thing drives me nuts. I used to be able to walk out of my office, cross the hall, stick my head in the chief’s office, and say one of the fire trucks is broke down. 15 seconds flat. Now I have to access the correct forms, fill em out, email em to him, CC in other captains, Bcc in the mechanic so the chief can call me across the hall to ask if it’s broke. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Thanks Don I’m back on track now!!!!!!
-
AAAHHHH, now y’all went and done it. Boss mans been puttin in some serious overtime without extra pay and while us Americans been saying thank you you had to go and poke fun at his motorcycle. You just thought the exchange rate was what cost you Canadians extra to be here.

Thanks Don. It’s amazing how one site being down screws up my day 😜. See guys I knew he didn’t run off on that HD and forget us.

2nd time around, a few questions
RDawson replied to circa1968's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
If it smells of gas I’d be looking at the carb floats quickly. Stuck floats is the biggest killer of these engines. Any gas drips on the floor? I’ve never been uncomfortably hot on my 07, I’d definitely check the T-stat and coolant. If it had a center stand it was aftermarket, RSVs didn’t come with one.
