    I'll attach the pics 1a and 2a which show the shim location. The other pics are just ones of brake pad wear. I'll note that he says that with the .042inch shims installed that now the outer pad is wearing faster. With the help of the mechanic we placed a spacer in the back bolt to help even out the angle. As you will see the wear is only about 1/2 that of the outside pad and with very little if any angle wear. So, I would surmise from the above quote that a slightly thinner shim should be used to even out the inner & outer pad wear. Maybe a .030 shim instead should be tried?

    There was a member making a frame that bolts on a RSTD that would allow a Harley trunk to be mounted. There are several RSTD's floating around with trunks.

    Its interesting to see the different models offered in Europe vs the USA. Here's the German page. http://www.yamaha-motor.de/products/motorcycles/ btw, no Royal Stars at all...

    There's a New 0 miles 2008 RSTD on ebay for $9,999 and a New 0 miles 2007 RSV for $11,899 with no bids on them. I guess that tells the story.

    Hopefully the 2 tone blue is available in the USA. This should help dealers clear the NOS 2008's and 2009's.

    I have looked at Clearview windshields for my 08 RSTD, and recall that their web site indicates that the early Tour Deluxes and the Road Star share a common windshield. Take a look here. http://clearviewshields.com/shop/product.php?id=68

    I saw the new Stratoliner. A big air cooled thumper. The belt drive, EFI, and hydraulic valves are nice. But air cooled? Thats not a move in a positive direction for that size engine. IMHO

    Might be the hub pins which are know to squeak.. [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1326]VentureRider.Org[/ame] Honda Moly60 lube is what most people use on them.

    Thanks Greg. Every rider should read the articles in full. Everyone who doesn't wear a helmet should read them twice.

    Don't shift below 4,000 rpm unless you're on the downhill side of the slope. What kind of gasoline are you using? Actually, regular seems to work better in these engines, contrary to what one would think.

    2010 Harley

    RandyR replied to BuckShot's topic in Watering Hole

    So, did Harley introduce their water cooled V4 engine finally? if not, then the 2009 Royal Stars are 30 years ahead of the Harleys already.....

    I've been getting them ok. Also I just added venturerider.org to my saved addresses which is supposed to flag it as not spam.

    Jeff, I like the colors as you've done them. It looks good painted. You don't need chrome.

    MM part

    RandyR replied to jburrell's topic in Watering Hole

    For the RSV's, the 3 gauges in place of the cassette looks like something a number of people will do. For RSTD's however, the pod is a much better way to go than the handlebars.

    I expect most people can hear a normal conversation from 50 feet away. Maybe not perfectly, but hear it.

    Here's money making project for someone who's familiar with fiber glass molds and stuff. Do one for the RSTD and RSV both.
