Thats a LOT pricey, neat idea, but not a snowballs chance in hell that I would pay that money for it

Lewis, Did you have the pipes bent that allowed the RK's to go into the collector? Do you still have them? I have Oldschools '83 and would like to put a set of RK's on them and those extension pipes would help greatly...shoot me a PM.

Back about 5 or 6 years ago when we lived in Michigan, I was approached by one of our then members Kurt Mayer "VenturaCowboy" who was PGR's National Director of Public Relations. We met here on the site and became friends and talked often. He asked of me a favor, and a quite large one at that. Michigan didn't have a state captain yet, and it had it's first KIA. He asked me to represent the PGR in this funeral, with the guidance of Ohio's state captain Bob "Taters" Smith. Those who know me, know I dont have a problem talking with folks. I will say that going up to a grieving widow and her family and presenting them with a plaque for her fallen husband, was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. When I did the 2nd mission, it wasn't any easier, as the WBC was there as well. It is a very worthwhile group and I only wish I had more time to devote to supporting them directly by standing the line. Good on all of you that have stood for our fallen warriors....

Hang in there Annie, not to be ignorant of the issue, but are you folks in the middle of a Typhoon or just some horrendous rain storms?

Bill, FYI, your not going to have to rejet the carbs, you would have to get a lot more air going through the carbs before any rejetting is necessary. If all your going to do is an aftermarket exhaust, you'll be just fine as it sits, dont let them con you into a jet kit and the labor to install it...

Thank you for the info and the phone number Tom, is that # directly to his room? -
Kevin, Wolo is a brand name for an airhorn that some of the members install on their bikes. He purchased a wiring harness that Carbon One makes to install the horn using a direct line to the battery and use the existing horn wires to power a relay http://www.wolo-mfg.com/air.htm http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=3727&title=stebel-horn-wiring-harness&cat=24

Jeff, I have not heard of any of the members using the JBM diaphragms, I have used the Sirius ones in the past with no issues. If the price is the same give them a shot and let us know what you think, can't have too many options with 20+ yo bike. -
Definitely a nice find, that should last you a good long time

Thanks for keeping us up to date Tom, Bobo....take care of yourself and here's wishing you well getting over this, be careful my friend. -
.....Really!

Nope...did it on a dare

Larry is too modest to talk up his products.....but I'm not. Larry builds a lot of items for the G2 RSV, his quality of work is impeccable, he is an excellent fabricator and all of his products are top notch and built to last. There are other options out there, but for me personally, I will always put my money in his hands or any of the other members that sell items here on the site

Do your guts still hurt from laughing so hard at their stories! I love those 2, they are 2 of the best folks we know, enjoy the weekend with them BTW ask Dan the 1st time he found out about his 1st gen having air shocks

It's all about the brotherhood, we have met more cool folks that way

I suppose it could, but you have to get him to join the site for it to be complete legal and such

I will NEVER grow old....my body might, but I never will

I have done the same thing Lew, and it took me the rest of my 45 mile trip to work back when I worked for Detroit Edison to remove the seat from me arse 5am, dark, and on a strait away and mom and her 2 kids came across the road. I split right between momma and the 1st youngun. I dont know how I missed all 3 of them....but I did. Like you said, I had zero time to react, and that too was probably a good thing Glad your ok buddy

Ben, If Isutley's offer doesn't pan out for you let me know, I have a seat that will work for you.

That horse will make his owner LOTS of money being studded out

Helllooooo....whens the date Jeff!!

Fine job Dave....you never forget your 1st successful stalking

You OLD guys crack me up!!

Many times you can take the handle end of a long screwdriver and tap at the bowl. Many times this will dislodge and material that might be stopping the float from seating. I would check the fuel filter and see how that looks. Dont pull the carbs off yet, that is a VERY time consuming job and if your not pretty handy mechanically you can get over your head real fast....

That would put my miles right in line with yours Jerry, almost 300 miles today.....whodathunkdit!
