    I couldn't agree more, best of luck to him.

    I have never heard of that either, when the lid is screwed onto the box it pushes the element down and makes a compression seal around the element.

    Sorry to hear of the difficulties with your leg Annie, still sending good vibes your way.

    Not so much, you just have to be very mindful of what your trying to do and be as neat and organized as you can. Chroming has come a long ways and I know that they can chrome plastic well these days. I'm sure others will chime in on places they have used.

    It's downtown Detroit Gil.... I dont want to alarm you, but thats not a great area. Granted it's patrolled heavily there as thats the city center with the riverfront a couple of blocks away. Will this be where she is going to school at, or is she going to be living there. If you want to chat give me a call on my cell and I'll discuss things in private with you

    Frank, You'll get a lot of different responces here, I have run all the major brands besides the Dunlop E3's (but have heard great things about them) The Michelin Commander is a good tire, I used them on one of my '99's and then again on an '86. The ones on my G2 worked well for me and lasted a decent amount of time. I have also run the Avon Venom X's on several of my Ventures and love them, they are great in the curves and lasted a decent amount of miles. The Metzler 880's are an accident waiting to happen, MANY of our members here have had the tire come apart on them, I know 4 people here personally that I ride with had this happen. I would absolutely stay away from them. If you can get a good price on the Michelins, go for it.

    I was just noticing what other have mentioned, you can't use the RSV's housings as there are items on the RSV that aren't on yours. Right handle has the emergency flashers on the RSV and yours doesn't, also you probably dont have the PTT button for the intercom. You might just have to break down and have yours chromed BTW...Nice Looking Scoot

    Jack, He has a '98 TD and what I think he's talking about is the handlebar control switch covers, if I'm wrong I'm sure I'll be corrected

    Dave, What exactly are you looking for, a royal star patch, a venturerider patch some of the rally patches? Say the word and we can get them across the pond

    Thats why this website exsists, Ron definitely sorry to hear about this. I would absolutely pursue it further with the dealers owner, Yamaha and then the better business bureau.

    It's not worth what they are asking, you can buy a used '08 RSV for about the 12k mark right now. The RSTD is a nice bike, but without all the bells and whistles the RSV has I wouldn't give much more than $10500

    Great news my friend, were still wishing for a complete recovery...betcha she glad to be home too

    Paul, Not that it really matters, but are you using a battery tender? FWIW I have NEVER disconnected the battery when I have had it on a trickle charge. I have never heard of anyone burning up electronics trickle charging a battery.
  22. Squidley
    Just rambling here, but it sounds like perhaps the main computer is having an issue if you have replaced the battery and alternator
  23. Squidley
    More than likely patentened John, I agree too, my '08 RSV had the chrome covers as it was an "S" model with the chrome forks also. It would be a nice upgrade, might be surprised perhaps they aren't an arm and a leg.....yeah right

    Yes...yes it's true, just ask Lonna...she'll tell you

    It's something like that, what I believe he does is swaps out the gears from 1 pig to another. He sells the vmax guys taller gears so they have more highway driveablity and the shorter gears to us for better pulling performance. I dont know that he actually machines the individual pigs as thats not really cost effective for him. Remember this is just my thinking, which sometimes has been pointed out to be flawed
