    I'll have to vote for the Sandisk Sansa E250. But why would you want to use an MP3 when you have a perfectly good cassette deck??

    Here you go. Like I said I didn't install them. Looks like if you have highway pegs they would just fit between the peg and the mount. There is a tab welded to the 1/2" square Air Wing support rod. If you don't have pegs you would have to come up with a clamp I guess. Hope this helps, Gary

    Sure, I'll take some close-ups tommorow.

    If it still doesn't work there is a connector under the rear seat. Take the front seat off first (2-10mm nuts on the bottom in front) then the back seat (two bolts in front) then make sure both connectors are clean and tight.

    Here's a killer wheel chock from Harbor freight I'm thinking about getting for my trailer. I,ve seen it on sale for $32. http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=96349&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName= I chringed when my RSV arrived last month from TN via STI. It was on a nice pallet with a depression for the front wheel to sit in and eyes for tie downs. They used the triple tree and the trunk mount for mounting points. Luckily nothing bent.

    I changed the rotor on my Vstar last year. They are in with Locktite. I was able to get them to turn by using a cold chisel and taping the edge of the head in a c/clockwise direction. Replacements were something like 85 cents @ the local stealer.

    Here's what they look like. And how they attach. I think they look pretty good. Have only had the bike for a month and they were already there so I have not had a chance to try them in the heat of summer yet but I think they will work well!

    Know what you mean about a dual purpose, I the wife and I had to sell the RSV and her Virago or the XT'S it would be a hard choice. We trailer them behind the RV and just have a blast in the mountains.

    Put a new set of Metzlers on the old 1100 Vstar last year. When I picked up the wheels the rear had 5 1/2 ounces of lead on it (even on the same side as the valve, tube type). I called Metzler and all they said was "take it back" After I convinced the dealer to exchange it the replacement "only" took 2 1/2 oz. Just got Avon's for the Venture!!

    Local Yamaha dealer here will mount and balance for $22.40. Even if you buy the tires elsewhere. Check out this link for the die hard DIY. http://www.clarity.net/~adam/tire-changing.html

    Looks like "billet aluminum" to me. What the heck is billet aluminum any way?? I've been in the machineshop business for 35 years and never made anything out of a billet. Just about all aluminum starts out life sometime as a billet i guess, unless of course it happens to start out as an ingot. The one that really gets me is "Aircraft grade 6061-T6" They just don"t make airplanes out of 6061. And don"t get me started on chrome-moly. Any way, Nice job and when you are not carrying your tent it would be a good place for a second passenger to stand.
