The only "Stud" on my bike is the one on the riders seat! -

They did! http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/marinerfan/default/new-car-001--large-msg-121492136061.jpg -
Jerry, I'm sure I have a XP recovery disc if you need it. Bob

I'm pretty sure I did some ridiculous miles back when I was young but I can't remember how far. I've done a couple of 500 mile days last year and I was beat. Maybe with my seat modified, I can go further.

The E3 is pretty nice. I think the bike handles better too. Actually, I don't think you could go wrong with either tire.

GPS is really accurate. I was pulled over last summer on the freeway and the cop asked me how fast I was going. Me - I was going 71 officer. Cop - That's nice but the speed limit here is 55. Me - Doh! His radar detector and my GPS were perfectly in sinc. Got a ticket for going 71 in a 55.....

That's what I'm talking about. Only had 10,000 miles on the tire and it looked good. I probably jumped the gun but what the heck.

Whew! You can't have a Meet without Food! -
Sounds like a good time. Anyone take pictures?

That's what I did Kevin. Went ahead and got a Dunlop E3 for the rear. I'm sure that the stock tire had many more miles left but it feels good not worrying about it anymore. Thanks for the input guys.
-
That's really good news! Congratulations to you both.

Dang, I'm jealous! Weather wasn't cooperating today.

Dropped mine once practicing "Ride like a pro". No damage to the bike at all. I've almost dropped it a couple of times but was able to heave it back before shiny stuff touched the ground.
-
The thing is that I don't want to push a tire too far. I'll never forget Brad and Lonna's close call and figure it's best to change a tire out early than go through something like that.

Tire depth gauge...where to get....Sears?

I have alot of friends who ride Harleys. They may or may not be HOG members but I've never felt that they felt superior to me. Heck, we are all brothers on the road.

I have 9500 miles on the bike and the tires look really good. I've shown it to a couple of other guys and they think they have a lot of miles left on them. I keep wondering when I should change them out. Don't want to have one blow out on me while riding down the road. Yea, they are the Dunlop 404's. Think I might go ahead and replace the rear just because. A few guys have said that when they get close, they wear out alot faster than you think so keep an eye on them.

I still have a bunch of cassettes. Throw one in once in awhile just for laughs.

I'm kinda a lazy cuss so I ordered a wiring harness already made up. http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Products/Aux_Lights/auxkit-new1.jpg http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Products/Aux_Lights/aux_lights.html I also got a heavy duty switch with a rubber boot to keep the moisture out. Put it by the auxiliary power plug in the fairing. http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/togglewithboot_9001.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/marinerfan/default/large-msg-123052888623.jpg

Going to get nice here as well. Going to be riding on Thursday and through the weekend. Nice riding weather and the Mariners are winning.....life is good!

What a talented bunch we have here! I'd have trouble making a square box....

Tires for a 2007 RSV ? Avon? E3 ?
Mariner Fan replied to FL-Venture-Rider's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Marco, From what I've read I've decided on either an Avon or the Dunlop E3. They seem to be similar in style and I don't think you could go wrong with either. I'm about due for a rear tire and will just look around to find the best deal in either one. Bob -
There is a little room on the bar's for stuff. I have a GPS and a drink holder on mine so that's about it. Seems I've seen someone who did put an auxiliary bar on but it's been awhile ago.
