    I bought a 6x12 enclosed trailer that was covered with big decals, and after trying a lot of different methods I finally got them off. The only thing that worked was WD40 on a warm day in the sun. Not so much to directly remove the decal, but to lubricate the single edged razor blade as it pealed the decals off and left the paint unscathed. Heat guns were too hot. Goof off was too severe for the paint on the trailer. Steam was a waste. I'm still going to have to repaint the trailer, but the last side doesn't have any nicks in the paint surface.....

    Ain't it amazing that when you charge something to you CC online it hits your account in a nano sec, but when they have to refund it takes 3 to 4 weeks.....

    May be nothing more than doing a little matenence on the machine. If you haven't already tried it, clean out memory/ tools>options>clean browser. Defrag, etc. Or try check disk. RUN>CHKDSK.

    I put the Avon Venom rear just before doing Cody in September. I had been runing an Elite II, and didn't really notice any difference in handling. Basically forgot it was there. The big handling improvement came with the front tire.

    In '07 I rode back thru Nevada from Ft Collins in 105deg weather. Wore a black mesh jacket, helmet and gloves. Outside of having to drink lots of Desantis, and still getting dehydrated, I was perfectly comfortable. True the humidity was low and made things cooler at 70mph. Heat and high humidity might have done me in.

    If I remember correctly the wind chill factor is calculated for exposed skin. Not on any surface. So on a bike with the proper gear you should be OK. However there are some things you just can't cover.... like face and eyeballs. At -30f deg, freezing can happen very quickly. When we went over BearTooth Pass last September it got a little nippy on the top and the tops of my ears started hurting like hell. Later on figured it out.... the vent was open on the top of the helmet... SOP for us boys from California.

    Yeah, that's a Ventureline and fits the 86-93's. It should say Ventureline on black ring of the pivot side plate.

    It all depends on whether the back rest was made by Ventureline or Markland. Most of the MKI back rests are Markland as Yamaha didn't get on the accessory bandwagon right away. The Venturelines have a rotating disc attachment while the Marklands do not.

    I saw that. It's the second time he's listed it. The last time he had a $500 opening bid. I guess he's trying to get the $500 a different way. It's about 100mi south of me, but not interested in even looking at it. I think I'm maxed out on VR's right now.

    Be patient on the Ebay search. This time of year Ebay doesn't have a lot to chose from. Things will start to heat up around March.

    Didn't feel that quake at all here in Sacramento, but I heard they did feel it up in Reno. The windshield and chrome strip can be found on Ebay and are fairly common, but that fairing is rarer that chicken lips. I know. I searched for well over a year before finding one in that color. Repair would be easier. From the looks of it, most of the fairing damage is in the black area, and even though a black paint won't match excately you'd have to get really close to tell the difference. If I can help in any way give me a shout. My bad. I thought from the initial look at your bike it was a '90-'91. Those '86 fairings shoiw up a little more on the used market. Let us know how the insurance plays out.

    No, The mounting brackets are different between an 83-85, and the 86-93's.

    If you have a Standard the speakers are already in the dash even though there isn't a radio/intercom/tape installed. I'd suggest installing a good marine AM/FM/CD, with an MP3 jack, where the tape deck usually sits in a Royale. I've seen some really nice installs done. There is also a flip open cover available to keep things weather proof. WEST MARINE
