    That was my understanding too, but it's only with the 1200cc setups as they still used the separate springs. The 1300cc Ventures have the 1 wavy spring. BTW I have talked several times with John Gayne at PCW, the spring that he sells has a harder Rockwell rating so it doesn't fatigue as fast as the stock ones do. I have installed at least 6 of the PCW clutch kits in various bikes and they work wonderful.

    On the front cover I have taken the radiator loose and moved it forward. It makes it so much easier and less PIA. Another tip that I'll give is use RTV in the channel and push the gasket into it and let it set over night. This way when your tring to move it around it wont fall all over the place.

    Mike, Did we replace the fronts or just the rear pads when you were here? I would suggest that you get a set of the EBC HH pads, that is what I use. My '08 is quealing right now and there is only 6500 miles on them. The only other option is take them off and chamfer the edges of the pads, this sometimes will help with the squealing.

    The person you should contact is Pegscraper, I dont know if the heads are the same dimentions as the RSV's. If they are I would imagine you could swap out a set of pipes onto your Royal star and get a set of HD mufflers. You would probably have to modify a set of mounting brackets as I dont think your bike would have the mounting area where the stock RSV pipes go.

    Lonna and I went out this afternoon too, about 100 miles and yep we too stopped for Ice Cream

    I'll add something here, even though I will never put one on any bike I own. It seems to be just with the heavy bikes that I have heard them failing on and always the rears. All the HD's I heard them failing on were the Ultras and comparable sized bikes.

    Mine is the trunk rack as it's very useful on long trips, the battery covers on certain colors would be my second.
  22. Squidley
    Good to hear your having a good time Nice pics and Lonna and I are planning to head to the Grand Canyon next year after going to the international. Be safe and we are looking forward to seeing the THOUSANDS of pics we know you have

    Changing the clutch spring (there is only 1) in the 1300's is very easy and can be done with the bike on the sidestand and without changing the oil. I have installed half a dozen or better PCW kits, and I highly recommend them. If your really worried about changing the friction discs then do it for your piece of mind. I have never changed any of the friction discs in all the clutch changes I have done, just added the PCW kit and as mentioned clean the glaze off the steels in the clutch setup. http://www.pcwracing.net/

    Kind of a subjective question, I would imagine it would be all in how you hit the tire and where in the length of it you ran it over. Regardless it wouldn't be fun and lots of pucker fator would be involved. If I had to hit one I would try to hit it square and somewhere in the center of the length, so it would be evenly split by the bike and unable to kick up on the side of the bike.

    Something you might want to think of is if you plan on keeping the bike for a while then perhaps it's time to upgrade the front brakes to an R1 set up. Go into the search bar and type in R1 and it will bring up all the threads on these brakes.
