I have a friend that had his starter solenoid melt down on his 86 1200 wing. Does any one have the wiring diagram? Thanks Rod

McMaster-Carr.com anything you need for hardware/nuts and bolts. Rod

What Clive said. Check at Virago tech for starter and parts. Good guys and very helpful. I have a 83 500 Virago and a 98 1100 great bikes. Keep the battery charged and the starter is not a problem. Good luck Rod

Any thing more than 5 lbs + - @ 30 lbs, I toss the gauge. The pencil gauges in the $10 range seem to be the overall winners for value. Rod

A friend of mine went out and bought every tire gauge he could find. Most were within a couple of pounds of each other. The cheap digital gauges were way off and the most accurate was a cheap pencil model from a discount auto parts store. I tossed4 of my gauges after checking them. Rod

I got the travel cover from JC Whitney, Love it. Rod -
viragotech.com would be my first place to look. Rod

It looks like you could drill and tap a couple of holes and add a larger foot to the bottom. Rod

Foam grips work great and are cheap. McMaster-Carr sells foam tool handles to replace the hard rubber grips, not as pretty but works good. Rod

Yum Yum looks too good. Where is my share??? Rod

Last week I went to a guy's house and changed the fluids and adjusted the levers for $110. He also gave my grandson a bike. Rod

rod replied to Seaking's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
tires could be a variable as well. Rod -
Are all heights RSV the same?
rod replied to Seaking's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
They should be the same. See if the front forks are even in the tree on all the bikes. The air pressure will change the height. Let the air out and measure again. Let us know what you find. Rod -

Check the engine cut off switch, clutch switch, and side stand switch before going to far into it. Also wiggle the starter button a little when pressing it. Rod

A Suzuki DR200 or Yamaha XT225 or TW200 can be had cheap and are great starter bikes. Take care of it and sell for the same money when time to trade up. DR 350,400 are great bikes for starters and can be lowered easy. The Kaw 650 and Suzuki 650 are good but a bit much for a starter bike. Have him take the MFS class. Good luck Rod

I noticed when the last lower thread went around that the amount people lowered varied quite a bit. I lowered mine 1" did not like it so raised it to 5/8" lower and that was it for me. Not having the forks even, too soft on the shocks, or too much lowering will affect handling negatively. I have several thousand miles of hard riding on mine with no problems. Raising the rear/lowering the front same for geometry. Lowering you loose some ground clearance, the only time I notice is in the U-Turn box on the range when teaching the ERC. Rod

I know what you mean. We have had a drought for 7 yrs. Now all that rain we missed is coming in one year. I have never gone this long with out riding. Rod

I took the grandson to school then FREE grand slam. The best part of my day, went to h311 after that. Rod

+ 1 on the ST or Connie. The Connie can have rust issues with the gas tank and fuel valve leading to carb issues. Also I would throw in a Honda VFR a BMW. Hard to find one cheap but worth the $. Good luck Rod

You can cut the stock shield to get an idea of how high you want it. I found the width helped buffeting a lot. I like a roto-zip to cut them but a jig-saw with the right blade works Ok. I have a custom chrome from JCW for 7 years the price is right and I like the height. Rod

3.5mm to bluetooth adapter----
rod replied to sho_greg's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Can't help with the bluetooth but the Venture has a jack for the MP3 to play thru the sound system. I have a Droid too so interested in the results Good luck Rod -
They come with some clips. I would use some clear RTV glue or 2 sided molding tape when I figure out where I want them. BTW they are 9" not 6" as the title said my bad Rod

I know Gary can do this one:thumbsup2: Rod
