I have been told that there are some nice Harley rear light kits that people have put on their RSV.....does anyone have any info or a link for that? Thanks.

Bobby....just one horn button...does have the extra lights up front, and two added brake lights on the rear. XV1100SE.....sounds like a great idea.....I'm heading to the cottage for a much needed week of R & R.....that's Reiny & Rum.....next weekend so anything after that works for me.

Nemo....that trim came on the bike....my guess is it's the automotive trim for door edges. I like the look of it.

Finally got the new wheels home! She's a 2006 Black Cherry....love the colour.....pics included to make it official.

I didn't say the oil wasn't dirty,it just didn't break down as badly as some.

Thanks once again for an informattive and timely response!

I'm guessing there's a link here somewhere for the 2nd Gen service manual but can't find it......anybody? Thanks

I am NOT looking to open the endless "which oil is better" discussion....am just wondering if anyone here is using Delo 400LE 15W40? There had been much discussion on the Wing site that I belonged to and I started using it about a year ago in the Wing...was very impressed....shifting was smoother, engine seemed to run quieter and smoother and the oil looked better at oil change time. Anybody else have any experience with this stuff? Any comments on using it in the RSV? Thanks

Besides, that what cold beverages were meant for......which type of beverage is up to the individual...

Thanks guys...that colour was my first choice...looked hard to make it happen...wish I could have done it sooner and made plans for the rally, but it wasn't on the radar for me until it was too late....next year for sure.

Oh ya...already picked up the Progressive air pump.....let the search begin for the safety chrome and farkles!!!!!!

Bwahahahahaha.....ya....looking good for "the chicks".........gave that pipedream up about 35 years ago.

Hey Gary! Long time. Ah.......no on the whitewalls.....

Any idea where to obtain that pump? Thanks. Pics of the new ride...should get her Wednesday.

O.K....I see the answer in a thread two down the line....disregard...thanks.

If this question has already been discussed, please direct me to the thread....can't find one....picking up my new-to-me 2nd Gen Wednesday and do I understand correctly that I have to pump up the rear shock manually for a passenger? If so, do you just use a small bicycle hand pump or what is everyone using? Thanks

Supposed to be ready Wednesday....gonna bug them for Tuesday.....here's a pic of the new ride.

Yes, it was at Performance Cycle......will post pics next week....wait a minute......did someone mention ice cream.......

Thanks lads...looking forward to many miles and smiles.....have confirmed the colour is Black Cherry.

Wow.....am I excited! Had been checking the local dealers daily looking for a nice affordable 2nd Gen.....missed out on two cause the Wing wasn't sold yet......had shopped two nice U.S. bikes....one in Michigan and one outside of Buffalo....was gathering up all the phone numbers and names to start calling them today....late last night my daughter sent me a link to a beautiful 2006 purple ( can't remember the correct colour name) at a local dealer....they just got it in that day! Well....barely slept all night....was at the dealer 20 minutes before they opened! Took it for a test and gave her a good check over......it's now mine!!! Has 45,000km ( 27,000 miles). Did I mention I'm excited!!! Now I'll have all kinds of questions...how you're patient with me. I'll post some pics next week.:cool10:

Not opposed to bringing one across but the ones I looked at nearby are about the same price so there's no savings in the end, and the ones that are better priced are that far away that the better price is offset by the travel/motel and fees involved.....not ruling it out though.

Bwahahahahaha!!

PD1313...thanks for the info but there are many around with less then half of that mileage...I wanna put the miles on myself. I may end up going with the Midnight.....she may just have to learn to live with it...like she did with me!!

Don...appreciate the info....you on commission?? LOL! have looked at all of those but I'm only looking to spend about $9500.00....there are a few around that fit the bill other then they are black, and the boss doesn't like the black...she says they look too much like a Harley. She is trying to slow me down on the hope that "the right one" will come up soon. Lost out on two nice ones I was watching....a nice Raven Red one and a two-tone green....oh well...I'll keep looking.

The Wing is a great bike in many respects but the seating position was causing my hip all kinds of problems...couldn't rider for more then about 20 minutes at a time! So...the Wing sold last night and I am now seriously hunting for a 2nd Gen.....something between 2003-2007 perhaps....really like some of the various red/purple or the two-tone green colours available. There are some really nice one listed here in the classifieds....the biggest problem for me is the distance to get to them....it would be a two trip adventure and can get expensive with the greater distances....... Anyway.....I hope you will put up with what may seem like stupid questions once I buy a bike but this will be my first 2nd Gen so there will be a learning curve. It is great to be back!!!! Looking forward to some meet N greet opportunities.
