    Yea, I'll take care of that soon. Flags are back. Which message thingie? OK folks...I'm getting close to having things back to normal now. I still have to work on the sorting of the members list by state. What else am I missing?

    Yea....once I get things back to normal. Just curious, what have you noticed?

    OK folks, the good news is that I have just completed the initial installation of the newest software here for the site. It seems to have gone pretty well. Now obviously you will notice some things that are missing. I will be working on the site for most of the night but the downtime should be over. Please be patient as I work at restoring missing features and ironing out any bugs that may show up.

    This is not a mandatory reply in any way. Though I don't usually know what words to use, it is a sincere and heartfelt acknowledgment that your wife and you will be in my prayers. So sorry to hear this news.

    I would have no problem buying a Harley unseen and riding it home. In fact, I did just that a few years ago. I found an '86 FXRD on the Internet. I flew from Dallas to Tulsa, OK and bought it and rode it home. Nowhere near 1,000 miles but still a decent haul on an unseen bike. It was perfect and I had a great ride. Only kept the bike for about a year but never had any problem at all with it. I never had to work on it and it was never in the shop for any reason. I only wish I had kept it AND bought the RSV.

    There's also a good article in the tech library. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=508

    Found some at J&P but I sure can't tell what comes in a set or how many. Not very well described at all. http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup.aspx?GID=9A68C00D-CBFC-4B2A-AC55-A785945B47E6

    Wish I could have been there. Anything that involves eating Mexican food works for me. Thanks for the pictures. Very nice.

    I'm not 100% sure what you are looking for. Do you mean the chrome plugs that snap into the end of allen screws?

    08 Clutch Lever

    I've never seen any. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen them for anything except sport bikes. Don't know if anything would interchange or not.

    Yes, I think it is possible that it will run OK but I do think that you should notice the excess heat. I wouldn't worry about the Bubs. The only thing done in this case that would concern me is the re-jetting of the carbs. Re-jetting is not an exact science and often takes come experimenting and testing to get exactly right. I personally don't think that re-jetting is at all necessary when changing mufflers or air filters on these bikes and many of us here have done both with no problems with the factory jets.

    If the temp sensor and everything is working properly and if the fan is coming on when it should then it sure sounds like you are running VERY lean and causing the engine to overheat. If that is the case, then you really need to get it corrected ASAP.

    Rsv Top Speed?

    Freebird replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    hmmm....that truly surprises me. I never had my rev limiter kick in at that speed and have actually downshifted at close to that speed and that was before I installed the Dyna3000, no way will the rev limiter get me now.

    You can find them on CD on Ebay or you can get the same thing here: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1828

    Haven't notice but I'll bet it's still painted over. That will make it fun...sort of like a scavenger hunt.

    Rsv Top Speed?

    Freebird replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    I've had mine close to 115 MPH. That is true speed, I have a speedohealer that corrects the speedometer error. That was also in 4th gear. These bikes will actually run faster in 4th than in 5th. At least when they are stock. I have since added a VMAX rear end so it may do it in 5th now.

    OK folks...I guess I'll upgrade the software here early next week. I will be going to PA on Monday and after I get checked into the hotel on Monday night, I will probably do it then. That is assuming that I get a good Internet connection at the hotel. This is a fairly major upgrade and will require that I shut down the forum for long enough to get the main scripts installed. If everything goes right, the site shouldn't be down for more than 15 minutes. I PROMISE to do a very good backup before starting. Once I have the major scripts installed, I can turn the forum back on and it will be functional but some of my customizations here will be missing until I get them all working again. There are a lot of changes in the programming and I am afraid that many of my customizations will not work without some major modifications to them. I really won't know what will work and what don't until I get started. So, you have been warned. I promise to keep the downtime as short as possible. Though I don't suspect any major problems with getting it installed and operational again, I expect a couple or more very late nights before I get things the way they are again.

    Man...it's been so long ago that I really don't remember. I THINK they were 3/4".
  22. Freebird
    Well that should be not EASILY changeable. I did change the one in my Ipod. Don't know if there is a similar method for the IPhone or not.

    Well folks...I have a sad admission to make. My bike has yet to be out of the garage this year. I'm usually gone all week and when I get home, I try to get the spring stuff around here done. Yard work, repairs, etc. I've had a couple of beautiful days when I wanted to ride and then decided to work on the yard or do some other work around the house thinking I would ride the next day. Then the next day it always ends up raining and then I'm on the road again. Got in around 2:00 this morning after battling flight delays and etc. all day and now it's raining here. I sure hope to ride again one of these days.

    Won't be tonight though. Right now I'm stuck at the airport in Chicago. Flight has been delayed 4 times so far. I HOPE to get home sometime tonight but won't be doing any upgrading. Probaby do it warly next week.
