I didn't have to put my address in. Just click the back button and proceed again. When I did this it went straight to the results and I didn't have to enter my email address.

Honda VFR. Hmmmm pretty close to the YZF600R so I think I'll just hang onto that...
-
Probably not diluted with the alcohol crap we get down here.

I know Scott, just tongue in cheek there!
-
But it's got a 6 CD changer standard this year!!

It's an option.

My first thought was that the trunk looked smaller than the Venture, but it looks like it's roughly about the same size. If you don't have a trunk rack and the associated hardware inside the trunk I believe that the Venture trunk WOULD hold 2 helmets. If you watch the video they show the helmets, in the trunk, and the lid coming down, however, they don't show latching the trunk. The way it looked to me, when the lid came down it didn't seat all the way on the backrest side. Looked like the lid would mash down a bit on the helmets when latched. Edit: Went and looked at the video again. Sure enough, they show the helmet in the trunk and when they lower the trunk and push on the rear you can see that the helmets hold the back rest end of the trunk up. They never latch it either. And that's without the hardware from a trunk rack inside the lid. So I'm saying that this trunk WILL NOT hold 2 helmets especially if you add a trunk rack.

Why is it, in most of the photos, however, that the guy seems to be hunched forward in, what appears to be, a very uncomfortable postition? Guess I'd have to ride one to see if this is a problem.

ABS brakes = Linked brakes (either the front brake lever or the rear brake lever will operate both front and rear brakes) at above 12mph, normal braking below. Do really like the Silver/Black one though.

Don't know if these would be of interest to you guys but it seems it would solve 2 problems at one time. Aqua box. Waterproof boxes for your GPS. http://www.expressmounts.com/gps-mount/universal-waterproof/aqua-box-6-medium

Except "rough front suspension and not enough time to ride it"...

Most I've heard of doing this have taken it to the dealer. Some have said they've been charged something like $25 IIRC but some haven't been charged anything.

Also, the question was asked about the rake in your shield compared to the stock.
-
Yeah, I know your feelings on the goldwing style vent. Just wondered if you got it with the vent installed or not. Will they allow you to put the round ones in this shield though? (Rephrase: will they let you put them in the test shield that you have) Is tint even an option on these. The purpose of my question was 2 fold (and you were supposed to, with your god like attributes, divine this from the question) 1. did you get these two things and 2. are they even going to be options on the RSV windshield.

:rotf: That's almost too funny!!
-
Vent, no vent... Tint no tint?

Hmmm maybe that's a subliminal thing to make guys buy it. Who knows what Ness was thinking.

I think he uses a set of gauges like these from JC Whitney: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2004169/c-10111/Nty-1/p-2004169/Ntx-mode+matchallpartial/N-10111/tf-Browse/s-10101/Ntk-AllTextSearchGroup?Ntt=carb

That takes up some space in the left saddlebag!!

Avon tire questions
gibvel replied to Dieseldawg's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Did I read that correctly? 5 psi OVER sidewall max? -
How much were you trying to sell that sweetheart for there Scott? I'm sure you posted it once but I think I forgot. Sure is a nice looking bike. You gonna put a tartan paint job on it now?
-
That is correct, it's not the gas tank. From the photos I've seen the gas tank is mounted up front; between the forks. Don't know about you but I don't want a gas tank that far up front and in that vulnerable an area.
-
This was also my first thought!

Good to hear Dale. We'll continue with the prayers!!
