I'll be coming through Atlanta tomorrow 2-3:00pm. Heading south on 75 to Daytona, I know with the road collapse traffic has shifted. Anyone familiar with the area have advice whether to run 75 or a better route? Gonna let the RSV stretch her legs for an 800 mile day.

Update. I updated the maps and software on the Garmin and put it back on, noise gone. I then figured out the streaming music over the Bluetooth receiver was tinny and somewhat muted when the gps was on. I installed the MPOW filter in different places of the splitter, once I put it between the gps and splitter everything worked great. The final configuration is Garmin 550 with Mpow filter, Edsets splitter cable, cheap Bluetooth receiver that hard wired in to power so it shuts down on key off(ebay), and a 3.5mm splitter. I now have gps, cell phone calls, and streaming pandora all through my helmets on the aux setting. IMC wired headsets.

Work got in the way of the bike for a couple days, don't ya hate it when that happens? I have a filter coming Wednesday, when I get it I'll open the fairing. I plan to grease all connections, move cables around to try to find it, and add the filter. I'll post what I find. Give me a wrench or a volt meter and I'm ok, start adding the "ronics " to electric and I gotta back up a step.

Thank you. I didn't know that was available.

I only tested it with engine off after install. Next morning when I tried it on the road it was noisy. I will open the fairing tomorrow and move the cables around to see if it makes a difference. Filter should be here Wednesday. I only ordered the 3.5mm filter, maybe should've got a power line filter also.

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?
