  1. I was under the opinion that it was possible to cross the border and turn around without going thru customs of Canada or Mexico. Is this not the case anymore?

  3. Seafoam ???
  4. heal fast Johnny
  5. Its just broken in. Well, maybe a few miles beyond that. The engines and drivetrain are good for 200,000 miles if treated well. Probably more. welcome to the forum
  6. Dano, Good news that you're headed home.
  7. I don't think that pic is pg15
  8. Do you have a spear permit and tax stamp????
  9. http://mic.org/downloads/MIC_Tire_Guide_2011.pdf A worthwhile reading tire and maintenance guide. Nothing startling and new though.
  10. just rock the bike side to side a little to slop the gas over to the left side. You can get some fuel that way if the ride has otherwise been very smooth. Or hit the brakes a few time to slosh the gas around. I'm happy with the Butler mod to my stock standard RSV seat. did a couple 700 mile days this year with it.
  11. I ordered a new copy of Ride Like a Pro (5) to replace the DVD I misplaced. I should have it back in circulation in a few days. If I find the copy that was sent to me, then I'll get it in circulation too.
  12. Guess I didn't have anything else to do after waking up at 4:30am, so just ordered one of the PIAA 70476 H4 SUPER PLASMA GT-X ANTI VIBRATION bulbs also. It appears to give off 25% more light for the same wattage as the PIAA 70456. My biggest concern is that the write-up on this bulb states that it gives off light which reflects better. Normally one would want that. The downside might be that it is impossible rather than just difficult to see in one of the frequent light fogs we get here in the Georgia mountains. I've been thinking about putting yellow bulbs in my passing lights to help in the fog, so that may be a good combination.
  13. I think that 9004's are 60/45 watts, whereas our headlights use 60/55 watt H4's. and different bases. A couple of members posts in this thread have said that bulbs dimm over time. And I thought it was just my eyes going bad... 9004 1st, H4 2nd
  14. I don't recall anyone talking about a lift adapter for the Venture. While its possible to raise the RSV with wooden blocks (or hockey pucks) on a MC jack/lift, many of us here use the Carbon One lift adapter. It locks to the under frame of the RSV and makes working on the bike much safer. Getting the adapter with feet allows one to sit the bike down on it after being lifted up. Makes many maintenance tasks easier and safer. forsale in the member vendor section of the forum.
  15. I saw those too. Is anyone reading this thread using super plasmas? I'm not sure I want a purple headlight though? It appears they are brighter still for the same wattage consumed.
  16. This may be a blackpowder hunting area. My brother lives near Ft. Wayne and can't hunt deer with a cartridge rifle where he lives.
  17. Here's an article comparing PIAA vs Silverstar vs GE Nighthawk bulbs. http://www.autos.ca/auto-product-reviews/product-review-replacement-headlight-bulbs-piaa-extreme-white-plus-sylvania-silver-star-ultra-ge-night-hawk
  18. I should know in a couple days. I ordered a pair of them. I believe this is a pair (2) of the correct PIAA's There is only one PIAA H4 Extreme White anti-vibration. 70456 = single, 70856 = two of them. http://www.piaa.com/Powersports/bulbs.html I have not compared the various types of headlight bulbs, so am just rolling the dice and hoping I made a good choice to get a brighter than stock headlight. Maybe we could have a pond monster spotting contest at Freebird's MD next year with the various types of headlamps available.??
  19. different bulb. The one I quoted was the powersports anti-vibration bulb that Squidley recommended.
  20. The PIAA antivibration bulbs are $63.74 a pair at Amazon with shipping. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/PIAA-Xtreme-White-Anti-Vibration-Headlight/dp/B005DNO03C/ref=sr_1_3?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1323097143&sr=1-3]Amazon.com: PIAA H4 Xtreme White Plus Anti-Vibration Headlight Bulb - Twin Pack: Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41qu2lsTdkL.@@AMEPARAM@@41qu2lsTdkL[/ame] Think I'll pop for a pair of them for my 2 bikes and put the old bulbs somewhere on the bikes for spares.
  21. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year http://randyrick.us/img/ChristmasMoose.gif
  22. I've had a couple of Fujifilm digital cameras and think they are a quality camera. http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/
  23. Steve I put it on my calendar.
