Its a Streetpilot 550. I failed to mention it sounds fine with the engine off. I have the iPhone 7 so I can't plug it in to stream and charge at the same time. It only has one plug.

The Garmin works great unti I use the Bluetooth receiver, unplug the Garmin and the receiver sounds fine. They are paired through a y splitter input. Would a wrong cable end act like that? :confused24:

07 RSV. I installed the Edset mic splitter with the Garmin to get my phone working correctly. I then plugged a Bluetooth receiver into the other input to stream Pandora. Either will work fine alone but when the garmin and receiver are both on I get terrible engine noise. Are the two inputs battling each other? Will a ground loop isolator fix this or can I only use one at a time? I've searched threads for hours and am still lost. I've ordered the MPOW filter in hope. We're leaving for Daytona next week and would love to get this right. Wired IMC headsets, factory sound system other than these add ons. Electronics are not my specialty. Thanks, Ronnie.

I don't know how much it affects handling but there are lowering kits out there for the rear also. I have a Barons lowering kit collecting dust on my shelf. It was on the RSV when I bought it but I'm 6'2 with 34 inseam. I hated it and took it off and added leveling links to raise it about an inch higher than stock. Wife and I love it now.

Added a Bluetooth receiver in the fairing of the RSV and installed an ignition bypass relay. Change the oil and do all the checks in the next two weeks and we're heading to Daytona. First big ride of the year.

Back in my day everybody knew which bathroom to use. Sorry I just couldn't resist. :confused:

That is a complete slave. It should just bolt in as is.

That appears to be a new slave you're holding. What am I missing?

That appears to be a new part. If so no worries about the bore. The bore is basically the hollow part of the cylinder that all the moving parts ride in. If an old one is rusty, pitted, scarred etc it won't seal. Go to the 1st gen tech library, engine and drivetrain section and look for write up on slave cylinder. It will walk you through the process.

Congrats.

I'm only 38 years too young to be Peter but I sure like those old shows too, much to the chagrin of the better half. Good part of that I'm the R Dawson still alive and kicking. Butttt he is the one that got to kiss all those pretty women on Family Feud.

Pump is behind left passenger foot peg/running board.

To revive an old thread Puc what did you think of the beads?

Make sure you're getting power to the pump before you jump in to replacement. If no power check fuses, connections, and relay. A bike that's been setting sometimes collects mice that chew wires too. There's a wealth of info in the read only section to help methodically test the whole fuel system.

Gotta say congrats. You don't hear 37 years often anymore.

In our part of the country used trikes are often selling cheaper than you can get one done. The trike shop isn't near as busy as the last few years. Touring bikes and trikes are moving slow here. I was in a multi brand shop a few months ago and they told me they couldn't move new Wings and rarely even sold a used one anymore.

We're supposed to be there 1st week of Oct. We'll see. Prayers for those there.

Ha. I jacked my own up. I looked cheap with that first bid showing as a quarter.

With you a 100% on personal choice. I've been cutting people out of wrecks and picking up bikes for 16 years. Seen em when seat belts could've saved them and some where seat belts could've killed em. I didn't always wear a helmet until I figured out it was more of the "you aren't going to tell me what to do" attitude than comfort. Yes I like riding without it but I've put too many bodies in black bags to not see the truth. With that being said the seatbelt thing is still my choice in my truck, I'll take the ticket if I have to.

I'm with you. How did you get your bid to show full amount instead of a quarter?

This an awesome cause. Childhood cancer has shown it's ugly head in my family. My niece was treated there and is doing great. Now her cousin on her mom's side has it, both families are participating in a family study to see if there's a genetic link previously unknown. I have ran in the marathon weekend (5K only), my daughter has run that and the half marathon and headed the St. Jude fundraising at college raising thousands. I bid on a shirt and am guessing this works like Ebay increasing bids automatically. I will send the full bid no matter the end price. I am definitely interested in the St Jude ride if I can get there, my Saturdays in Sept and Oct are pretty well booked. I am 3-4 hours north of Memphis and will try to meet you there. If anybody reading this has never been there it is a life changing tour to take. We take so much for granted in our everyday lives that places like this make you think about priorities. Hope to see you in Memphis. DragonRider I don't know your history with St Jude but let me say thank you for your support to them.

They're still in my plans. I just got swamped with orders that have to fabricated before I can play. I bought an RSV a month and a half ago and still haven't been able to get out of the county on it. 8 miles to the county line. Next few weeks should catch me up enough to pound some of these out.

I was on a sport quad, no helmet, one week before girlfriends prom. She was not impressed with the black eyes. Couldn't see anything so probably good it wasn't a two wheeler.

Had the same issue straight to the nose at 65. Broken nose-dead quail.

The head temps are filtering up in the seat and burning out the heater.
