  1. excellent, thank you
  2. Do you by chance have a picture of that horn as well as a picture of it mounted on the bike?
  3. Yes, please let us know where we can get those highway pegs
  4. I have always used conventional Yamaha oil
  5. Congratuations! You payment has been submitted on FIRST GEN, MKII VR HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH SPRING UPGRADE KIT! so apparently I got this but the order was corrected to a second gen kit. Now what?
  6. At about 50,000 miles I did the half plate replacement and put the full plate in the clutch. Now at 75,000 miles I am finding the clutch is starting to slip if I get on the throttle in 4th and 5th gear. Should I be replacing the clutch at this point or do I have another problem going on that I am missing? I was looking at getting the Barnett Clutch kit and the new HD Spring. Another thing is that I am planning on getting rid of the bike in 2 years to upgrade to either the new Venture or an Indian Roadmaster. Still very torn in the two bikes. My current bike bike is a 2008 Royal Star Venture-S
  7. I just wanted to say thanks, as I put the upgrade kit from skydoc in and it was seemingly easy. I was done in a matter of about an hour. The most I ever saw myself doing outside electrical type work was oil changes. This was way out of my normal repair ability and with the instructions it was real easy. Again, Thank you.
  8. I got the Kuryakyn LED Driving lights and LOVE THEM no noise from the radio. A little expensive but well worht it. I installed them during the day and after looking at them I was seeing spots for about 20 minutes after and that was with the sun hitting them directly. They look like HID and are also made by Truck-lite. I would love to put the headlight in too but have no clue what to do on making that mod. I had to cut the ends off the plugs and I soldered the wires rather than using butt connectors but other than that they went in 1-2-3. Kuryakyn gets an A++ for distributing these Items.
  9. did you have any luck getting this to happen?
  10. these are available WITH turn signals also and they are also really bright
  11. very true on the turn signal end but if u save at least some power on the running lights
  12. more info???????
  13. no such thing as riding season ending just time to put it away for a couple of days at a time like when theres ice or snow on the ground. with the right gear you can ride in anything
  14. In a tractor trailer thats about the only way we up and downshift so why not on the bike. as for downshifting you just need to rev the throttle the right way to match the engine with the tranny
  15. they usually make exemptions for stuff like that, I may order 2 and save one for a rainy day
  16. yup I got the same problem. I am on my second one and Garmin is trying to charge me for a second time for the repair. total B.S. It cost me 200 for the first repair and they wanted 150 for the second but they then said they would split it with me and only charge 75. after the cost of the unit, the XM antenna, The first repair, why should I pay again
  17. that is the one thing i pay the most attention to and yes scotty i should never see dry rot on any of my tires I broke 16000 and i was looking at the front one the other day, Ill be replaceing that one real soon. btw my buddy is on an '03 chopper and he believes the rubber was oem so i guess he will keep this one in mind for the future
  18. I was riding with a friend of mine coming home from the fire academy today and we were traveling at a pretty good speed. The Fire Engine we were with left slightly ahead of us and we were trying to catch up. We finally caught up to it after traveling at about 85mph for a little while. After we got back into the firehouse he went inside and I stayid outside getting the truck back into service. while standing there, all of the sudden I heard a burst of air release. I looked over at the bikes and the front tire on his bike had BLOWN OUT. I looked at the tire and saw it was all dry rotted. We looked back and thought It could have been bad had it blown while doing 85. Just a little wake up call that you need to be sure you check your tires CLOSELY or you can wind up in the same situation or worse
  19. I got these for me and the mrs plus the company sells a setup for people without a radio on their bike to communicate which we use with the club no complaints on either. The guys with the RSTD would be able to communicate with the others all day http://www.armoredrider.com/mod/category/id_ctg/44
  20. I would love to but I got a comedy show that night and we are having our bike blessing the next day. I would definately like to meet some of the guys from here so I will have to watch for the next one:Sad_0241:
  21. looks great:thumbsup:
  22. yup i didn't see pics either sorry
  23. you should get yourself one of these http://cyclefuel.com/ I got one and tried my luck in running out the one day too bad i cant remember how many miles it took that day but the can was the greatest thing anyone going on a trip should fill one of these up and keep it with them
