Really sorry to hear this news. I always worry until everybody gets home after any of our events. Sounds like you handled the situation well and I'm happy to hear that you are both safe.

New Floorboard Backing Plates with wrong holes?
Freebird replied to jryan's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
OK..I'm sorry but they are correct. I went out and looked at my new ones but didn't look at the old ones and they are the same as yours. Here is a picture that should help.- 7 replies

I waited to respond because I just didn't want to jump in and make a fast decision. After sleeping on it though, I'm thinking that we should go with channel 29.

New Floorboard Backing Plates with wrong holes?
Freebird replied to jryan's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
That's a bit strange. I wonder if they changed them at some point? The holes on the new ones are the same as my '99 RSV. Your old ones are different than mine.- 7 replies

Headlamp modulator-has this happened to you?
Freebird replied to BigBoyinMS's topic in Watering Hole
I have the modulator and really like it. Mine works on high beam only so if I want to turn it off, I just switch to low beam. -
hmmm......they must have changed them. The extra holes on my '99 had the same nuts as the other holes.

Is there a CB antenna for sale anywhere?
Freebird replied to Nemo's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Many of us have switched to the Firestick antennas. MUCH cheaper and better. By the way, the antennas on the '99 models did not fold.- 12 replies

Annie, It is very simply. Open the trunk and remove the rubber mat in the bottom and you'll see the 4 screws that bolt the trunk to the bracket. Remove those 4 screws and slide the trunk back about an inch or so and you'll find another set of holes.

Sorry, but not that I know of.

Mic-Mutes @ Maintenance Day
Freebird replied to ediddy's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Simple but a bit time consuming. You have to split the fairing and then remove the gas tank to route the wires. Remove seats to make rear connections. Not hard to do but takes maybe an hour or so tops.- 1 reply

I am sorry to report that as of June 1st, the discount from Motorcycle Superstore has been discontinued. I know that many of you had used it and hopefully there will be something else in place soon. Here is the notice that I received from them today. Hi Don, Due to the manufacturers MAP policy (minimum advertised price) we are no longer allowed to offer general group discounts. However, there are a few brands and exclusive items that are separate from the MAP policy. So yes, I will be sending you a new sort of code, but it will be item and/or specific, which unfortunately isn’t as enticing as a general coupon, but I will do my best to make the offer as enticing as possible. Unfortunately there will be a small delay, I apologize, but I will be in touch as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding.

Nobody specific to check in with. Just get there and then let me or Kent (V7Goose) or Brad on ONE of us know. It's pretty informal. We are going to try and be a bit more organized this year. There will be a donation can for food and whatever else you wish to donate for.

Front Wheel Removal questions
Freebird replied to johnny-canuck's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
It is very simply. It is possible to pull the wheel without pulling the brakes but much easier to just pull the calipers, only two bolts on each side. Makes it much easier to get the wheel back on and also easier to inspect the pads. -
Improving gas mileage...
Freebird replied to 5bikes's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You are correct though. Most new bikes run LEAN from the factory due to the EPA requirements, NOT rich. -
For the Bushtec, you can get a hitch directly from Bushtec or you can buy just the pin from them and use it on any hitch.
-
I absolutely LOVE the Bushtec trailers. I think they are the best made. The prices are high but in line with other upper end trailers. To each his own. I know that some folks would never pay that much for a trailer but for others, it is worth the money to them. That being said, we MAY be giving away a different brand at the Rally this year. Bushtec has changed ownership and are not offering the same deal for club's as they have in the past. I am probably going to be looking at some other brands this year. Not sure yet which way we will go.

I moved mine back YEARS ago and many others have also. Maybe they have changed the rubber piece. Mine sat right on it.

Really sorry to hear it Vin. Eileen and I were really looking forward to seeing you both again.

Where is the best place to buy Pelican cases???????
Freebird replied to muffinman's topic in Watering Hole
Jeff, Try here, they seem to be a little better. http://www.caseclub.com/pelican.htm?gclid=CPPlh9Xn4poCFQQrFQodzDPUBw The company that I work for actually has a case division also but I think ours are more expensive. http://www.gemstarmfg.com/ -
Where is the best place to buy Pelican cases???????
Freebird replied to muffinman's topic in Watering Hole
Not seeing any real bargains on them anywhere. This place has them but the price is almost as much as from the manufacturer http://www.unitedcase-pelican.com/product.php?productid=11&cat=0&page=1
