OK folks, here's the deal. They will cost $2.50 more than I thought. US will be $24.50 delivered and $25.50 to Canada. They originally came back at $5.00 per mug higher than last time but I finally got them to split it and got the increase down to $2.50 but that's the best I can do. I found one more source but they too were $5.00 more. So...it's your call. Do you want them or not?

Folks, I am ready to order the mugs but am in negotiations now with the vendor. They have quoted them about $2.50 per mug higher than the last time. Now I did beat them down on the price the last time but they are telling me that they just can't do them that cheap again. The debate with them is ongoing. I'll let you know as soon as I do.
-
Well, that's about 38 so far. I've sent an email to the vendor but haven't heard back yet. Now I'm HOPING they are still available. If I don't hear back today, I'll give them a call.

The second horn is in the lower cowling on the left side. It looks just like the horn that you can see on the right side though. There is a cylindrical shaped device that sounds like what you are seeing that is actually a vacuum actuator for the cruise control. You may just be hearing sound that is being transmitted through the frame and etc. that makes it sound like that is where it is coming from. What you describe though is not the horn.

We already have one of those. You can find it in the upper menu bar...it's called the "Members List". of course....YOU are the ring leader.

I think the statement is correct but maybe worded incorrectly. The fact is that you cannot get the Flu from a Flu vaccine. There are some people who can get sick. Primarily those who are allergic to eggs and/or chicken protein. There are some people who can have an allergic reaction but the fact that a flue shot can give you the flu is indeed false.
-
Well, that's about 28 so far. I'll take at least 2 more so that's 30.
-
The first advice I would give you would be to NOT lay it down. Other than that, I think you will get used to the size pretty quickly. I'm sure others will join in with better responses.

Then you may have missed post #17

Folks...if you want to get a flu shot then do so. If you don't want to get one..then don't. But please do NOT turn this into a political debate. I'm sorry but after 5 years of begging and pleading to keep politics off the site, my patience is starting to wear real thin.

Whether or not to get a flu shot is a personal decision. I think though that it's much like wearing a seat belt. You will always be able to find cases where if a person hadn't been wearing a seat belt, they might have been better off. The fact is though that many more have been saved by doing so than have been by not doing so. The flu shots are the same way. There have been and will be cases where people had problems from taking the shots but there are far more people who are protected by them. I've had the flu a few times in my life but have never had it in years that I've had the shot.

Also, make sure that you don't have the steering head bearings TOO tight. Having them too tight can be worse than them being too loose. With the front off the ground, you should be able to lightly push the front end so that it swings and hits the stop. It should rebound off the stop and then come to a gentle stop. It shouldn't oscillate back and forth but it should be loose enough to rebound.

No Flu at my house yet. I usually get a shot but haven't done so yet this year. The new one is supposed to be available in October I think. Are you supposed to get two different ones?

Do you have the Yamaha Trunk Bag?
Freebird replied to Freebird's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I think it will be practical. It's about the same size as an old nylon bag that I have used for several years and is getting a bit worn. It's supposed to be water repellent but I would have liked to have gotten the rain cover with it just to be sure. I think the Yamaha one only comes in black and it has the star logo embroidered on the back of it. It looks like a pretty well made bag. I doubt that I would have bought one at the price that Yamaha asks for them but this one was a good deal. Maybe I can find or make a rain cover for it. Heck....I haven't looked in all the pockets but I did ask the guy if he had the rain cover and he said that he didn't get one with it. -
Another Cruise Control Problem
Freebird replied to Freebird's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I am familiar with the speed sensor and have had mine out a couple of times when I lube the rear. I don't see how it could be the culprit though. It only has one sensor and senses speed, not which gear you are in. My cruise is rock solid in 5th but just won't engage in 4th. I would think that if it were the speed sensor, it would affect both gears. -
I've used Moble 1 Racing 4T Synthetic in my '99 for 10 years now. I love Mobil 1 and use it in everything I own. I highly recommend it.

No, not yet. We are a LONG way from having enough people wanting them. I'll let everybody know when we are close enough that I can place an order. I need to order 100 and would like to have at least 50 requests before ordering them.
-
Yea, but he didn't say where he wanted it moved. I assume the watering hole but it would be easy for him to post it again. Now stop trying cause trouble.

Do any of you happen to have the Yamaha cordura nylon tank bag? The one that sits on top of the trunk rack? I ran across one on Craigslist and bought it. I like it but when I read the description of them online, they say "comes with rain cover". This one did not have the rain cover I don't think. What does it consist of?
-
Shooter, I am sincerely sorry to hear this terrible news. I know that you guys are a tight knit group as we are here and I can only imagine the pain that is being felt by all. Please know that you, your club members and the families are in our prayers. That type of terrible tragedy is always my worse fear when we have our rallies here. Don

Yes, they are vacuum sealed and they are stainless inside and out. They advertise that they keep drinks hot for 6 hours and I would say that is very close to the truth. Here is some more info on them at Amazon. They hold 14 oz. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/JOEmo-Leak-Proof-Coffee-Travel/dp/B001AYQ8B0/ref=pd_sim_k_4]Amazon.com: JOEmo Leak Proof Coffee Travel Mug: Kitchen & Dining[/ame] Also note that my price is the same even after I have them silk screened with our logo. They are $16.00 plus $4.99 shipping there which is basically the same thing I am selling them for. They DO come with the travel bad and the additional top "safetly" lid. I've never used the extra top lid though and have never had a problem with it leaking.

Yes, and it is hard to get them equal unless you have a progressive pump with the 0 loss chuck. You might put them both at 0 then you'll know they are equal. Also, check for cupping on one side of the tire but not the other.

Another Cruise Control Problem
Freebird replied to Freebird's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
So...I don't suppose you have the Dyna 3000 on yours do you? -
I'll delete it for you and you can post it elsewhere if you wish. I THINK the trailer thread already going may be enough though.

If you are interested in these, please indicate how many you will want.
