    Al- Got a question... not horn related... sorta.. I have the AIS valve, and it's in the way of the Rivco center stand. I've tried to move the valve out of the way by reversing bending and twisting per installation docs, but it's becoming a PITA. How difficult was it to remove the dang thing completely. It's my understanding it's nothing more than a gas tank vapor recovery system. The hoses are fairly large. Did you plug them?? Obviously the horn isn't going to fit in that area...

    Ditto on the 409. It contains Butyl Cleaner, and cuts through a lot of crud. The stuff has a distinct odor and once smelled is easily recognized. The big draw back is the cost. The cost of Butyl in 409 vs. a gallon of Butyl concintrate is rediculous. You'd be much better off buying a gallon of Butyl and mixing it with detergent. If the job is small then 409 is the way to go.

    Looked like a snow job to me.....

    Has anyone gone with the black Stebel Nautilus and mounted it as the second horn under the front fairing, and would it accomplish the same thing? My OEM is already chrome so buying one of the Stebel chromes, and mounting it on the right side would only get me a louder horn...not add to the bling... The blacks Stebels have a better price, and wonder if anyone has gone that direction and the result...??

    I like what I'm seeing also.

    Yep, One of my Biz trailers is a 8Wx16Lx7H and WOW!! it's HUGE inside. I bet if I put my mind to it, I could get 5 (2-1-2) RSV's in there.....or come dang close... Little overkill tho-. :cody

    I generally take all tires to max cold side wall pressure. Not manual pressures as they are for a specific brand/size tire. Max cold will give longer tread life and reduce the possibility of cupping .... :cody

    I wouldn't say thine front, but beneath thine A$$....

    Wish I knew what the 'H' was wrong with my knee's. The pain I'm getting is in the tendons in the back of the knee. Started about 3 months ago, and I have good days and bad days, but overall it's a PITA.... I've had x-rays and still have a 1/4" of padding in the joints. The last tiime I saw the Doc he put me on accu-puncture which did absolutely nothing, and was a waste of $90 bucks... Motrin and I have become good friends...

    I'd say you have it right... Anyone who disagrees with you are wrong... What muff's you repacking??

    Do you trust your bike?? If you took it on a 3000 mile ride, do you have confidence that it is in good enough condition to make the trip?? In '07 I took my 24 year old '83VR on a two week trip and had total confidence that it would serve me well. How do you feel about yours??

    A couple of years ago I ran 600 miles in 10 hours. Ran about 72-73 (4000rpm) with 5 fuel stops, and two rest stops. Didn't stop to smell the roses. 38mpg @ 60mph average.

    An RSV is 8' long. A 6x10 is only good for one bike, 6x12 is still a little snug, a 7x14 tandem would be ideal. Make sure it has at least 6'+ head room.

    I installed an R-Mark in about a half hour. Didn't remove the bags, but can't remember what I did to tighten the bolts?? I think it was a 3/8'sx14" extension with a hex socket.. But not really sure??? :cody

    Actuall I bought 3... That gets the odds down to 297:1.... for everone else... :-) Why buy 100?? I could buy 299 of them, and it still wouldn't do any good. So I'll let some other lucky person be blessed... Hey, it could be you.... All ya have to do is buy just one...

    Well..... I bought a ticket. And y'all have a better odds of winning the trailer because of it... Why you ask?? Because I have been buying Rally tickets for what seems like forever. For trailers. For the group dinner raffles. And.... I have never...that's right... NEVER ever had a wining ticket. Nada, Zip, Zilch... Lightening just does not strike un-stable people. So the reason I buy tickets is to give everyone else a better chance of winning.. Ain't that special!!

    OK it's serious, but it's still BS. I don't worry, 'cause I'm not a patch guy. I kinda like a 'Neckid' vest. To each his own.... I'll check with my son-in-law. He's a leo and deals with gangs in the SoCal area. I'm wondering, since in this club we do a lot of long distance touring and are 11,000 strong, how many of us have actually been asked to remove their rockered vests by a 1%'er while riding??

    From the pic of tire the center groove is still there in the valleys. So they must have been scrubbing for quite a while, and riding like cr@p. If you didn't feel anything then there's a good leason to be learned. Check the tires regularly before putting your life on the line.

    So a STAR Logo with the chapter and state 'Rockers' falls into this BS??
