You've got them Ken. Really sorry to hear this and we will keep her in our prayers.
-
About 1500.
-
Also, did you install the small restrictors? Mine doesn't bounce around much but it will if you don't use the restrictors that they send.
-
I think it would be interesting. I honestly don't know how they would compare but would like to find out. I do have both done to my '99 and will be willing to compare them the next time we get together if we can find a good place to do it.

I agree that the rev limiter and gearing are the primary difference between the first and second gens. Just add a Dyna 3000 Ignition module to take care of the rev limiter and a VMAX rear to correct the gearing and it will solve those issues.

Turn signal problem
Freebird replied to Midnight V-4's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I agree with the corrosion. I've seen several of these bikes with water in the turn signals. Usually the left rear for whatever reason. I've seen them so bad that there was no salvaging the sockets and they had to be replaced. Check them all for water and corrosion. -
What version is not working for her? I downloaded the new 3.5 version and it would not work at all. Lot's of problems. I went back and downloaded 3.0.13 and re-installed it and everything is good again. It will import your bookmarks from whichever version you tell it to.

Looking very good. Please keep us updated.
-
I'm really happy to hear that things turned out well for you. Now cherish every moment and give thanks for the good news.
-
That would be great but unfortunately, I don't get to schedule these trips to Minnesota. The company tells me when to be there.
-
I'm getting ready to head to the airport for a trip to our corporate headquarters in Cannon Falls, MN. I will be in Minnesota today, Decorah, Iowa for 3 days then back at our main offices in Cannon Falls on Friday. Will return late Friday night. I will be checking in at night but will not be online as much or long as I usually am. Wish I had time to visit with The Owl and Juggler and others in the area but just won't be able to on this trip. Maybe next time. I'm giving you all the job of watching Mini Muffin while I'm away. I know it's a tough job and that is why I'm deputizing everybody.
-
Not a bad idea but nothing firm yet. I'll give it some more thought over the next week or so. Just need to come up with a good date for it and somebody in that area that would be willing to help out with any details.
-
I will be coming down to that area in about 3 or 4 weeks. If you haven't done it by then, let me know and I'll bring mine with me.
-
I think you will find that most here prefer either the Avon Venom or the Dunlop Elite III. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. With a few exceptions, most would recommend AGAINST the Metzeler and the Bridgestone.
-
Yea....but I don't plan on trading bikes. I'm now putting you in the trouble maker category with Swifty.
-
Ingenious yes....but man is that UGLY.
-
Now you didn't see "overweight" a single time. I said .... well...maybe something similar but NOT overweight.
-
I did a Google search for Motorcycle Gear Indicator and found several manufacturers but nothing specific for the RSV. Don't know if any of them would work or not. Sorry.
-
The trailer hitch wiring is cut and splice. No plugin solution that I know of. For passenger arm rests, check out: http://www.diamondraccessories.com/ Great folks to deal with. They also have a fantastic hidden hitch and some other things specially designed for the RSV.
-
Yea, I found them. 2" just won't work though. At least without some more modifications....hmmmmm
-
Makes no difference to me. I think they both look great. I'm a buyer for either one.
-
I hope to choose a date within the next couple of weeks. I'm just waiting to find out where our spring sales meeting is so that I don't schedule it for that same week. Hopefully I will know something soon.
-
I already have a set of white gauges installed and working. I just happened upon the beige ones and think they would love great on our bikes. I'm getting ready to redo mine using Ponch's face plate and would love to change them out with the beige ones when I do it.
-
I never turn mine off but I don't leave it on reserve either. I leave in the normal position and turn it to reserve when I see the low fuel light come on or I hear it sputter.
-
You can count me in for one or two also.
