    the bike has alittle over 4200 miles on her, I havent looked at the tires not to say its not that but I have been in cars with that and it doesnt sound like tires being cupped. I didnt get it over 60 but the noise didnt go away, it wasnt so much a whine and it sounds like the rear of the bike not the engine or I basket, from 55 to 40 as you slowed it got a deeper sound and it stayed even when I pulled the clutch in and would coast. I am going to call the dealer and get it taken in just to be safe but kinda wanted to get some ideas first. thanks

    I have a 08 venture and I rode it to work today and on the way back when i get around 50mph I hear a hum sound in the rear almost like the tires on a truck make but not quit or a gear humming, any idea? It has the factory dunlops on it and I have never heard it before today and I feel alittle vibration also but that could be normal and I am trying to sence things. Thanks for any imput.

    Yes it is in the blue bottle and its syn witch is what I wanted, I did ride it for about ten min after I changed it and did notice that it is alittle quieter and seems like it freed it up alittle. It only has 4200miles on her so shes still breaking in alittle but the more I ride it I do notice the better it wants to run. I know everyone has there opinion on oil and everything else and alot of people here have tried most of them thats why I asked to get first hand knowledge so to speek. Thanks everyone for you info. Oh is the 5w 40 going to be ok?

    I just put a purolator pl14612 gold on it and rotila 5w40 as I couldnt find 15w40 anywere around me. I did see others using the same oil so hopefully thats ok

    I did some checking on here and found a cross over to another oil filter that I picked up at pep boys, since its a car filter and not a bike so to speek does it matter? I seen on a web site they have a adapter to run the regular filters so they seal does anyone use these or does it matter? I am running what I bought at pep boys and so far its working but I dont want to have a issue and not know it til its to late. Thanks

    CMIK what lights do you have under your bags? I like that idea also. I am going to slowly switch all the lights out as I can afford them. Do you or has anyone switched out the head light for something brighter?

    what kind of harley did that rack come off of? I think I can find one of those easier on ebay or used than one from yamaha. I am going to start getting stuff for the bike and try to find other things that I can make work and can get cheaper but still look good for it. Thanks
  13. waterbug
    If you go to custom dynamics web site they have a light bar called the knight rider that moves back and forth like the one on knight riders car and its not very expensive and they look great and catch your attention. I just ordered one but have seen it on another bike and it really does make you look, and the whole thing lights up when you hit the brakes. My next thing is changing the rest to the leds from them and working my way around the bike as I have money.

    So how was the show? I have never been to it and just heard about it not long ago, do or did they have a lot of aftermarker stuff and sales?? Maybe something to look for next year.

    Does this give you enough that you can run all your lights and heated cloths if you wish? I was told that there wasnt a larger out put stater available. Were did you find or get this? thanks
  16. waterbug
    Thanks everyone for all the info! I do agree with goose everyone has what they like or want and thats why there are choices. I just wanted other options and knew there would be alot of input from the ones that know here and I thank you all for that!!

    Are you painting the clear plastic parts them selves? if so make sure you paint the back side of them and they wont get chiped and such that way with the paint on the back side.

    I looked at the Honda 1800 and liked it but the dealer told me I wouldnt be happy with it with what I wanted to do and was pushing the nomad pretty hard. I bought the RSV instead and so far love it.

    Not sure what you are wanting to paint or air brush but they make all kinds of stincels to do or make about anything and if its just letters you can do those yourself. I just got a new air brush for christmas and havent touched one in over fifteen years but I am going to get back into it and play with it once it warms up alittle. I also got the ones to do the real flames and a dvd to show me, just have to practice. Look in the phone book for people that do that or call a bodyshop you know and see who does there decals and such they should be able to point you in the rite direction. Good luck.

    I used to stop from time to time on my way to dale hollow. There is more there than just gun town there is a or was some stores and other places to see and there is one of only a few left of the tee pee hotels in the country. I havent stayed at one yet but really want to. If you look up cave city you should beable to find all kinds of things to see and do and there are some great roads with great veiws to ride a bike or a car one there. Good luck and have fun
