using Condor's link you will have to log in to your ebay account. Then on the upper left click on motorcycles to get rid of the accessories and parts listings. It looks like 20 listings. You should be to select the selling price for only bikes in good running shape. There are several damaged/parts bikes listed at low prices.

or click on advanced search.

Still leaves unanswered where the oil came from. That's certainly worth investigating further. -
Bryan, Bummer. I'm glad you aren't hurt any worse. Let us know if we can do anything for you?

The owners guide I have calls for 4,000 mile intervals for maintenance, including oil changes with Yamalube, which is a syn blend. I don't have enough miles on my RSTD to have a good feel for how dirty the oil gets. But in my car's Mercury V8, full synthetic oil is barely dirty at 5,000 miles.

sending in my registration. Will be staying at my house.

This is the first I had heard that term. I'm ex NG. I just checked the NationalGuard.com web site and no mention of a name change. It wouldn't surprise me if some states started to try to push back (more than they have already) on the mobilization of the Guard units for extended periods of time when there isn't a declared war.

I'll point out that Freebird's Maintenance Day in Ohio is June 06, and it would be great to hear about your trip while gathered with many of your friends from this forum.

yes indeed, very special. The other riders can only wish they had as nice a bike.

Yep. Very good news. Shoulder surgery has come a long way the last few years but is still painful and can take a while before full use is available. I had orthroscopic surgery 2 years ago, ie: a small incision where a mini camera was stuck in and then a couple more small incisions where a robotic arm went in and stapled everything back together. The Dr. did it all watching a tv screen, like a computer game.

I wonder what happened?
-
thx guys. I wondered about the comfort of the rear seat with the backrest installed.

swapping the two pads (since they wear unevenly) seems to be a trick I've read some riders do to get a little extra mileage out of their pads. Good luck. I'm about 4 hours away also and have a Yamaha dealer nearby where I'm sure I could buy some pads to bring to you if necessary. tele seven ought six - two eight bogus four - two four bogus eight four The nearest dealer to you appears to be 15 miles away: MOUNTAIN MOTORSPORTS 3422 ADVENTURE LN KODAK, TN 37764-1973 Ph: 865-932-7433 RandyR

I looked at the utopia web site. The seat's mounting hardware attached inside the passenger seat. Does that have any negative impact on the seating comfort of a passenger? I have an RSTD. thx

Had MRI on my rt shoulder 2 years ago and had to have surgery to repair some torn cartilage. Was on light duty for almost a year and no MC riding. If they operate, make sure you go to a physical therapist for a program of progressive exercises to build it back up slowly,

Power socket on RSTD?
RandyR replied to Shipper's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
This thread reminded me that I need to add a battery tender/power outlet to my RSTD. I have a Deltran battery tender that I use with my Triumph and I mounted to the battery a pigtail with 7.5 amp fuse and covered 2pin outlet which is tie wrapped to the frame under the seat. I also have a small powered air pump which uses the same SAE 2-pin plug. I just found a source on ebay for the SAE 7.5 amp 2pin socket / fuse / pigtail for $8 shipped, which I will add to my Royal Star. http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/solarcapitalist don't get the 3amp version. -
I've seen the specs on the 950 tourer and thought it might be a good machine sometime in the future. It has a belt drive rather than a shaft. I wanted to take a test drive on one during a demo day locally a couple weeks ago, but had a last minute change of plans and couldn't ride it.

Lesson #1. always treat a gun as if it is loaded.
-
Lee makes a hand loader which takes normal dies, and is good for making small quantities of ammo. I use Accurate #5 powder for most of my pistol loads also. As has been said, FMJs are what the 9mm pistols need which make them a little more expensive to shoot than a .38spl which can take lead wadcutters for target use.

I came close to doing the same thing once, guess I can't talk and think at the same time...
-
out of curiosity, has anyone ever had the gendarmes ticket/warn them about having BLUE lights installed. Particularly ones that blink? btw. I'm looking to add some lighting to the back of my 08 RSTD, so am keeping my eyes peeled. $13.49 for a 12 inch flexible strip might just be the thing. At least its cheap, even if I eventually put something else on.

If you're thinking of dropping south from Asheville, let us know when and where and maybe some of the north Georgia riders can join you for a leg of your trip. RandyR in Dahlonega, GA. 40 miles south of the NC state line.

RSTD Luggage Rack
RandyR replied to steveb74678's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Thats a great deal. Just pick it up on the ride to Maintenance Day. -
tank bag for RSTD
RandyR replied to RandyR's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
I've seen them advertised that way, ie: just stick it under the clear map holder. -
Changed my mind. I'm bringing my own tent. But could use some of that wine when I get there to relieve the miseries.
