    Very nice bike and I'm glad Kit is getting to put some miles on it. Looking at the pictures depresses me.....all sunny...looks warm...then I look outside here and see a frozen snow covered pond.

    You might try Pinwall Cycle Parts for the trim. He has a couple of wrecked RSVs that he is parting out. The problem will likely be that those front fairing parts that you need are often the first to be damaged in an accident. He has an Ebay store at: http://stores.ebay.com/PinWall-Cycle-Parts-Inc and also a telephone number posted there. As for your elevation and the popping. I've not heard of any of these bikes needing the carbs re-jetted due to elevation. In fact, I've ridden mine in Colorado at elevations around 10,000 feet and had no problems at all. Most likely just need to sync them real well. That's pretty common on these bikes. Don

    Nicely done Paul. Glad to see that you included "Image Resize". That's a GREAT little program that anybody who posts pictures here should use.

    Wanted to post this for all of you who contributed so generously to the fund for Cliff's son. He sent me this via email today to share with you all. http://www.regards.com/getgreeting.cfm/648-4056659-0108

    Hey....don't think for a minute that you are ever going to live this down. I'm PRETTY SURE that you are the only one who has ever done that. Glad things worked out.

    Very nice. I bet it sounds a lot better than the stock RSV speakers. They leave a lot to be desired.

    Gary, I can't say much that hasn't already been said. I know that you have loving family but don't forget that we are here for you also. Anything you need, just let us know. We've missed you.

    Not sure where this is, not in the USA though. Nice rig. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN7n55YjeTY]YouTube - yamaha venture[/ame]

    I also think that you are going too easy on the Seafoam. Even with mine running good, I usually run a full can in a tank of gas about twice a year.

    I'm sure you will really enjoy it. I actually tried to buy a new Wing a few years ago. Had it all picked out, accessories chosen, final negotiating was done. Went in the sign the papers and thought it was a done deal when suddenly they asked to see my AARP card....WHAT???? Didn't have one, wasn't old enough at that time. Who would have know that it was a requirement.

    Received my CD today and just wanted to again thank Kevin for doing this. I was on my way to town when I stopped to check the mail and there it was. Enjoyed listening to it while running some errands. Very nice "feel good" songs sung...and some written I think...by one of our own.

    I want to thank all of you who were able to contribute to this cause. The auction for the bells have ended and did very well I think. They brought about $150.00 each for a total of about $750.00. We also had several donations sent by PayPal and by snail mail. I sent Cliff a nice check this morning that I KNOW will be much appreciated. Far short of what they need but at least a good start. KR1 is still offering his CDs with 100% of the proceeds going to the cause. There is a sticky thread at the top of the watering hole with the details. Thanks much to Kevin for doing this. Don

    No problem...it hasn't always worked this way. I added a new feature a while back that converts the links and plays them right here. Actually, it might have been OK if I had just added a note to the top of the post about the language. Then those who didn't want to see it could have just refrained from clicking the start button.

    You know....that WAS funny but the language is a bit rough for this site. For those of you who are OK with the language and want to see it, just go to http://www.youtube.com and search for "downfall", including the quotation marks and it will come right up for you.

    WOW....that looks like the new fuel injected/turbo charged one. You are going to have your hands full. Congrats, hope all goes perfectly for you all.

    I'm sure that's not a piggy backer. Looks like a fiberglass trailer. Very nice.
  17. Freebird
    Very nice indeed. I mean...it's not a RSV but hey....we don't mind you slumming it around us.

    I'm not sure if you are looking for a new OEM seat or aftermarket. There are still aftermarket seats available. Corbin for one: http://www.corbin.com/yamaha/ventmenu.shtml There website is terrible now but I think that Saddleman still makes their RoadSofa for the first gen also. http://www.saddlemen.com/metric/metric.html and there's the Russell Day Long http://www.day-long.com/new_pages/yamaha.html

    A lot of the new phones have an entry "ICE" programmed in. You just add the number that you want used.

    I really don't think it's "spin" and don't know that it explains everything but I think that a big part of it is that most universities here now are ultra left wing in their teaching and ideologies. One of the left wing ideologies is strict gun control.

    What did you do? Order the Edsets without the helmet speakers and with the adapter for the earbuds? Oh...and thanks.
  22. Freebird
    hmmmm.....sounds like a pretty darn good deal. As for using the cyclegadget cable, the problem is that my headsets are AirRiders and the microphone is integral with the left speaker so I won't be able to cut the speakers off. The speakers are too tight against my ear so I wouldn't be able to use them with the ear buds. If I have to, I'll just buy a cheap J&M headset to play with.
  23. Freebird
    There are some headsets on the market for 1/2 helmets. I know that J&M makes one. http://www.sierra-mc.com/proddetail.asp?prod=JM%2DHS%2DICD284%2DHHU%2DHO

    If anybody here has an old headset that they want to part with, I would like to have it. I am looking for something where the cord and mic are OK but the speakers are shot. I want to experiment with adding a 3.5" stereo jack to them so that you can just plug in a set of noise canceling ear buds of any brand and completely remove the existing speakers.
  25. Freebird
    Why not go with the J&M unit. All in one handlebar mounted package. They make a solo version and also a rider/passenger version with intercom. Then you can just plug an MP3 or whatever into it. http://www.sierra-mc.com/products.asp?cat=243
