    I want to apologize to everyone for my sarcastic remark. I have a tendency to fall off the wagon every once in a while..... I'm going to my room now....

    You're trying to compare apples to oranges. The Venture engine runs better and get's better fuel milage staying in a lower gear and turning higher RPM's. The only thing 5th will do for you is get you there quicker over the long haul on the slab at 80+mph, but it sucks gas doing it....

    They actually came with a spring indent when new, however I haven't seen to many still attached. Haven't got a clue as to what causes them to disappear.

    I've found that just leaving the audio on overnight will put a load on the battery . Doesn't kill it, but it does slow things down in the AM start. Turn it off and things are much better...

    Lynn. What's the difference between 5/8" and 14mm masters. Is smaller better??

    I just had a friend upgrade his front brakes to R1 calipers on his '99RSV, and he couldn't stop raving about the difference. He said it was an OMG moment. I'll be doing the same thing to mine later this spring. It's a plug and play job. Pick up a clean set of R1 or R6 calipers off Ebay for $60 bucks with shipping, and that's all it's gonna cost.... The best bang for the buck mod you can do on an RSV.

    Whats the E3 look like? With 5000 miles on it I'd think it would last the summer. I had an E2 on the back of the '83 and thought about replacing it before taking off to Ft Collins on '07 just to be on the safe side. Posted a pic of the tread here on the board and the consensus was to don't worry about it and ride. I did. It finally wore to where it had to replaced in '09 before the Round-Up in Cody..... BTW that's just about it when it comes to tire size....

    OK I'll bite. What are the other 19?? Enlighten us.....

    Back in '89 my wife and I walked the wall.... one way... I couldn't turn around and go back the way we came. Emotions took over and I cried like a baby.... Still effects me to this day... had to grab a Kleanex...

    Almost looked like there was a spacer missing. Attached are a couple I just shot of my 99RSV.

    Since the part is chromed plastic I'd go ahead and pop them and hit the whole part with a clear.

    I think I remember seeing a 1st'er do that buy swapping out the mirrors. Looked pretty good..... if I remember correctly....

    I always wear a helmet when riding, but I also think it should be optional in every state. I also think that a rider should be required to declare his intensions to excerise his right to not wear when applying for insurance coverage... Then the premium can be adjusted accordingly. If he declares that he will be wearing to save on the premium, and then gets into an accident while not wearing, his policy is null and void and the insurance company is only obligated to return all the premiums paid. All liability and medical costs are then the responsibility of the helmetless rider.

    The first digit/letters of a part number designate what model year the part originally appeared or subsequently been modified in anyway... Even color... The last series of numbers are the actual part number and will work with any previous year. If they had modified it where it wouldn't be compatable they would have assigned a new part number.

    Some photographers just have that special gift that others dream about..... Very Nice!!

    Like Bob says it's an easy fix doing a re-bush. But Bob's not next door and another machinest might not be as understanding...?? I'd find another stator cover on Ebay, or?? and replace it. Keep it lubed and it shouldn't go oblong on you again....
