Bob, I'm with the others, dont wait for riding season to finish as I believe your just asking for trouble. Get it done as soon as you can and get the healing done, Diabetes is nothing to screw with. I have gone through a lot with Lonna being one....take care of your health my friend.

Dry splines....I have done many of them on lots of G2's. Good on Brakepad to help you along, thats what makes this place the best

how do you modify r/k mufflers???
Squidley replied to big mike's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Mike, If you want, I have the holesaw and everything to open the HD pipes up. You could shoot out to the house and we could do it in my garage when the pipes are on the bike. I have done this to both of my G2's and love the sound, not obnoxious but rumble very nicely -
Done Boss
-
If I'm not mistaken the holes are there so that condensation can be released so the pipes dont rust out from the inside out...no worries.

You wont regret the Avons, I have run them and the Michelin Commanders, both are great tires.

Good to see you poking your melon in here Tate, it's been a while. Sure do hope on that road trip to Ma's that we'll be able to catch up with you, it would be good to see you and Mom again...be safe and try to stay out of trouble

See there you go Charlie, not reading the whole thing. I would never leave my wife behind. But I do appreciate you steeping up to the plate and busting my gonads....seems like old times (BTW the OLd comment was just for you)

If it has doors....it's a cage.

I knew I could continue to count on you Charlie The ST would be if Lonna is not able to ride with me again, I would be solo and it would be what I wanted, and not what fit us both. Before my Ventures I was VERY Honda loyal, they are great machines and I have always wanted an ST....and yes my feet will touch the ground, sat on a new '08 about 3 weeks ago

Dont he look cute on that :rotf:

I need a proportioning valve
Squidley replied to Squidley's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Thanks Rick, Thom had the valve, but if I find that I need additional items, I'll keep this in mind...Thank you again my friend Lowell....a boat -
Lonna and I know how that feels with a loud thud at the end, Glad you were able to keep it up, we didn't fare so well ourselves

A relay is the only way to go, thats how I do all the ones I install

Thanks Thom...PM sent -
I knew there was going to be a bunch of commotion, and I did relish the thought of it when I bought this bike. It's always good to keep things stirred up at VR.org every now and then There will be another G2 in the stable as soon as Lonna is comfortable being back on a bike. Until then the 1st gen is a close runner up for touring machines for us...gotta have a scoot for the summer whatever it takes Alan, Thanks for the words my friend, I agree that we need to get together again. I had a great time at Russ's last year and looking forward to seeing the crew again
-
I knew you would like them, I wouldn't ride without a set on the scoot
-
Charlie, I hate to tell you this, but as soon as we figure out if Lonna is going to be comfortable being back on a bike, we'll be getting another G2. But stir it up as I know you will, because by next year there will be a newer bike in the garage, be it a 2nd gen again or an ST1300
-
I believe he's at home as I got a call from him yesterday too
-
I had a Brown '86 before I started into the G2's, it was a great bike and we put a lot of miles on it. I know I'll like this one too, just want to be sure that Lonna is still cool with riding before we go out and drop another $12K on another G2. Randy.....you didn't loose the side panels, I have them...no sweat my friend

I want to change my own clutch
Squidley replied to a topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Not to take away anything from Sleeperhawk or Buckeye Performance, but there is a cheaper easier way. http://www.pcwracing.net/featured.htm PCW racing makes a kit for the RSV that replaces the last half friction disc and the pressure spring with a stronger one. I have done 3 of these in RSV's and they work great for under $100. You dont even have to drain the oil as you can remove the clutch cover with the bike on it's side stand and only a few drops might come out. It's very easy and can be done in an hour or less.
