As said already, the stock Bridgestone tires on these machines are not the best handling. I went to a front Avon 130 width and the low speed handling is very much improved on my '08 RSTD.

I bought mine in Iowa

A windshield lock for the RSTD

I've never heard of anyone having one stolen, have you? or just being cautious? -
sounds like a great adventure. make sure to post pictures of the new trike and then the trip. And this means that you'll have to attend M&E's in 48 states. Plan on eating lots of icecream.

one more thing. once you've replaced a shim, rotate the engine forward at least 3 turns and recheck the new clearance. every once in a while, it doesn't come out like you would expect.

the tool depresses two shim buckets at a time. Sometimes its easier inserting the tool turning the cam backwords. Doesn't matter. be sure the slot in the shim bucket is pointing the direction you want to remove the shims from such that you can easily get a pick on the edge of the shims to pry them up. The shims and buckets are the same for 1st and 2nd gens, so look at all the threads. member Dingy has posted a picture of the shim tool depressing the buckets which is worth seeing if you haven't done this before. I'll try to find it and post it. yes, sometimes one has to try with the tool a couple times to get it to depress the buckets properly. member v7goose has posted some info and pictures of the procedure as well as Dingy.

rotate the cams again and recheck to make sure you're at valves closed. if you still can't get a feeler gauge under them, then be prepared for all of them being too tight. Which could be a possibility if they have never been adjusted. I don't think I've ever seen one where I couldn't get some feeler gauge under the cam. How many miles on the engine?

it sounds like Stuart's is a good place to do business for anyone riding in that area.

good pictures Kenny. that corner of South Dakota is quite a land of contrasts. From lush forests of the Black Hills to the desolate badlands and rugged mountains to prairies of waving grasses. All within a few miles of each other.

good to meet you at Cody. It sounds like it will be a memorable trip.

Fuel cock and shifting ?'s
RandyR replied to Venture Rob's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
4th and 5th are both overdrives on 2nd gens. I don't shift into 4th until 45/50mph and 5th until 65mph. -
Tom, Thanks for hauling the Shiner beer all the way from Texas for me. And it was good visiting with you. Randy

Good seeing you again Larry. Glad you got some good rides in after the back problems. The scenery was fantastic.

And great job you did on Quickstep's 1st Gen. Thanks for that.

Could you post a link to where your pictures are? I looked and couldn't find them. Thanks (I should have brought a camera, but didn't) Randy

I'm sure I'm at least well done. We seemed to have a good crew at our cabin last week.

Gary, it was good to see you again. This was my longest trip on a motorcycle. Glad I did it.
