    Keep the plastic. Toss the interior and any bent chrome pieces....

    Cool campground.... I bet watching that tide roll in and out can be very interesting. Wonder what the speed of the flow is??

    I just love it when someone posts that they are having difficulty picking a bike up, and everyone chimes in with the butt under the seat technique.... Especially when a 5'6" 130# rider says it's a piece of cake..... Well guess what... For us horizontally challenged riders it ain't so easy. It's harder for us to get our butts under the seat because we have more leg to fold up, and when we do it's a bytch to get out of the deep knee bend. So the technique does work, but for a few of us it's still a PITA. Size does matter.... I love to see a video of a 6'6" rider with a few extra pounds on him lift an 800# bike up on it's feet....

    You might try Hellwigs. One thing to consider is the Ranger will ride like a brick with the higher weight rated springs. With the Hellwigs your ride will stay the same....

    Yeah, gotta agree Bill. Since they changed their venue they've lost a lot of their previous 'fan' base. They are more like any other large E-tailer. I sure do miss the old group....

    Glad your alive.... Sounds like you had a big one. Take it easy and heal up. Here's the pic of a possibility if there's enough left of the bike..... http://www.cast-aways.com/images/chopper%20(Small).jpg

    Nice horn, but got a question on the video?? Lately when I follow a link to some videos the image appears on the screen as a double split horizontally right in the middle. Looks like if it were split vertically it would look like one of those old 3D pics. Anyone having the same problem, or have a idea what's going on??

    Because it takes a special tool (OK some folks have made their own) to properly torque the boss/basket nut. Some will cheat and tighten the best they can and leave it at that. If I remember correctly the nut should be torqued to 50ftlbs. There's also a special washer with keeper tabs that fits over the spline, and the nut that may be loose. I'm thinking the whine may be coming from the straight cut gear being out of alignment a bit??? Anyway I'd suggest taking it apart and reassemble...

    Is that an Ohio License Plate??? http://images.craigslist.org/5Ia5E95F83L83F43H9c8j588169815b3410fd.jpg

    The clutch basket should not move in and out. The P.O. may not have reassembled it correctly.....

    It's about the same heigth as an OEM. For $70 bucks it's a pretty good deal. OEM's go for around $100. Shipping is fair also. Slip Streamers have been around, and I'm sure members have used them. MOF I think I have a Slip on the '91... or maybe it's a Show Chrome??? Anyway go for it.....

    I wouldn't start running just yet. Isaac isn't producing the big winds like some in the past. Cat 1 huricanes are 50-60 knots. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo_atl.shtml

    I picked up a roll of commercial 1/8" double sided tape from a local auto paint store. The stuff really holds. Tossed the sleeve it came in so don't have a clue to the brand, but guess at 3M??
  17. Condor
    Geeze... OK one year off. All your stuff was added as options... Try to find an '89.... And I repeat the one difference between the Royale and the standard was the CLASS....

    The CB wasn't supplied by Yamaha in '83. Most aftermarkets were QualComm... or something like that...

    Like others have said that's BS..... But it may be Allstate's rules?? If it is, I'd start looking around for another carrier. I have Geico and they just paid off on the stolen Motorvation. MOF all Geico needed was notification of the brand, model, and Vin# when I bought the trailer. No extra charge for the coverage...

    Do you plan on pulling it with the trike or Alan's Venture?? The Adventure Model is nice and I do like the molded fenders... a lot like my old Motorvation.... The Sport Model is actually designed to match a Harley, and does have a larger box capacity because of the attached fenders. The one I picked up even had Harley lighting and the PO added the Harley eyebrows. If you plan on towing it with the trike the Sport may be the way to go?? Nope never found it, and probably never will. Most MC trailers never get out of the back yard, and by now it probably has a rattle can paint job on it... It was the one I had on when we were playing tag last year thru Nevada. I really liked that trailer.... The nice thing is after jumping thru a bunch of hoops Geico covered the loss, and it was enough to cover the used cost of the Legend with a little left over..... That said... I also have an unused 2010 J&E Manufacturing Teardrop trailer... don't ask why... Anyway I can't keep both of them. So even though I do like it, the Teardrops gotta go. $2000 if you're interested. Retail is somewhere up around $3600+shipping. LMK... http://www.jemanufacturing.com/teardrop.html

    The one thing a Royale has is the CLASS system. Most other items can be added as accessories to the Standard up to '87. In '88 and on the Venture was only offered in a Royale....

    Press the set button twice or hold it down for about 10sec.

    I picked up one of the Legend Sports made by them 2-3 months ago. Pretty well built. http://www.american-legend.com/sport.htm

    The only year they made the choke set circular and in front of the grip was in 1984. Some confusion occurs when a 1984 model year VR received a 1983 VIN number. About 300 of the first '84 bikes where shipped in '83, and for some reason received a D in the year designation code of the VIN instead of the E.
