whats the date code? hasn't the 491 (elite2) been out of production for 4 or 5 years? possibly age related..? just grasping at straws here.. Brian

I just noticed a new one listed today that doesn't have the royal star , if this would have been available I woulda got this one instead.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-XVZ13-XVZ1300-Royal-Star-All-Years-Flame-Radiator-Grille-Cover-Polished/301192401510?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D21248%26meid%3D7924106161762251753%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D9374%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D251532794292&rt=nc

I got exactly that in the mail yesterday, it took about 2 weeks to deliver. It seems ok, def not a great quality SS but for the price, I am not quibbling. Now I gotta figure how to install as it comes with no instructions... Brian

I have the drift also, and I like the video it takes, I like the fact you can rotate the lens so you can mount the camera in a bunch of orientations, it has an LCD so you can see what youre recording and it has its own remote control. I also like that its water resistant without having to buy something extra for it. Brian Here si a youtube vid take with my Drift, but keep in mind that youtube downgrades the video to meet their specs.

If I had more notice I woulda been there, but have plans to go to Estevan for the BAD Rodeo and rally. (Bikers against Diabetes) . Brian

run, run away from that one.... Brian

just a couple of miles too far but would be happy to try a meeting in chat room if you need help with something Brian

wow, always sorry to hear of riders going down. My heart goes out to his g/f and family. Brian

I was looking around for the passing light set for my RSV, where did you find the best price/availability? Brian

I have 2 thoughts.... The first one is that I think you better hope your wife doesn't read this... or youll be riding alone and you wont hafta worry about the speakers moving... Ive never seen anyone move them to the top of the tour pak, but have seen a couple of guys move them to the top of the saddlebags, my concern would be them filling with water when it rains... Brian

some scratch coming your way on payday, ..Wishing Angel and Lori all the best on their new start!!! Brian

Kevin ,,,where you are is wetter'n . not western..... Brian

thinking of you guys and sending you all of my best wishes for all the best things in life for both of you. Brian

That's not entirely true. Each Province has their own insurance rules and companies, much like your states. Here in SK we have a govt run vehicle insurance plan that is expensive and we are trying to lobby them to give us options so we can choose our coverage. Now I have 200 ded , 2 mil liability, unlimited income protection and full personal injury protection for 120 a month that I only pay for when I am riding my RSV. When my bike is stored I have a storage policy that costs me 120 bucks a year for full replacement cost. Brian And as far as being crooks, it happens here too,...our govt company (SGI) was going to increase rates on some sport bikes by more than double last year but a concerted push on the legislature got them to roll most of that back to a 5% increase.

Hey Owl I plan on being down there again this Labour Day weekend, but think I may take a couple of days to get home, not the straight thru push to get ready for work on the Tuesday after the weekend:). Work was just too ruff on me on Tuesday morning after last years..... Brian

I would be up for it, but not during the 3rd weekend of June as I am busy with Ride for Sight in Elbow SK, and fundraising in that. Last year we raised about 10k for Retina related illnesses research. Brian

I used the Scala Bluetooth setups on my G1 bike and wasn't sure that I would like the corded system when I got the RSV. I promised myself I would try the bikes corded system for a while and now actually I like it better than messing around with the Bluetooth controls and fidgeting. The Cord hookup is easy on the bike and all my controls are upfront and in sight, not on the side of my helmet. My gps uses FM so it broadcasts to the radio and into my headset, so about the only thing I cannot do is talk on the phone, and getting away from the phone is one of the reasons to ride, so for me the RSV OEM system is a win all around. Brian

Dontcha hate it when that happens? Brian

my suggestion is to take lots of pics as you go, esp of all the different sizes of screws and bolts you take out... it may make things a lot easier at reassembly time. Brian

Super Ride! I love the colour! Congrats on your new ride, enjoy! Brian

maybe someone that's headed to Venture west can stop by and have a look for ya. Brian

taken today, May9th 2014 at Echo Lake Saskatchewan. Brian

There were no bugs there, except the ones Big Bob brought in on the front of his trike,..... you must have imagined that..... Brian

Great looking ride!!!! Congrats!!! Brian

Nice machine! Congrats Carl! Brian
