I now have my plan of attack. Thank you sir

I finally did it after waiting a few days from my dealer for the gasket. Only one of the slip ons had a gasket in it lol. Well i crushed the gasket a little trying to get it to squeeze into the pipe but i got it. Got the bike all back together and all i gotta say is wow. My RSV now reminds me of my old 85 and is a much more enjoyable ride for me. When i pulled the old slip-ons off my bike the baffles fell out of both of them, so she was a screamer before. I found a pair of OEM slip ons from a tour deluxe as advertised with little to no scratches. They looked really nice, but one of the tips has a big scratch across it, which wouldnt be a big deal but it IS the only part of the pipe you can see But I think I'm just gonna keep the stock pipes on. I love the sound and it really turns these into a sweet bike! What do you guys run for pipes?

Okay guys so I'm planning on buying that new bracket for my trunk. Mine however, is already cracked. is there any way to repair this or do I need to buy a new trunk any information would be appreciated thank you

Really terribly sorry for your loss. I'm definitely going to get my dog's trailer done for sure now

My 99 is the same exact way. I would have swore someone stole them off of there! Must have been a first year thing

So I need a quart of red a quart of silver 2 quarts of base and 2 quarts of clear?

I gotta buy a can of the stuff anyways so might as well lol:confused24:

Awesome sounds simple enough. Now another question... what can I do about the rust on the inside of my shiny screw heads and also in the joints of my reflectors. It's there any way to take rust off chrome?

Hey guys! I have a 99 Rsv and the black boxes that cover the air filters are really faded as is the plastic piece on top of the tank. Is this something I can bring back to life without paint?

I paid too much for my 99 at five grand. Just turned over thirty thousand miles

Wouldnt mind seeing the add for the maxim is it in the classifieds?

Ahh you gave the site some sex appeal!!! Looks great from what I can see so far. Can you maybe put a little more space between forum titles? It gets a little hard for me to focus. Thats for when you've got it safely running and can tweak with it a little bit. I must say I am jealous because you seem to be a very smart, very motivated man and I hope someday to be able to do things like you can!

Sorry to hear about your father. Thoughts and prayers are with you:bighug:

Hahaha thats an excellent point! I went to the color rite website and yeah they do want bucu bucks for their paint but since they claim they're the only ones with OEM Yamaha paint, I'll probably pay it just for authenticity. Thanks for the info though guys!

I'll be doing this to my RSV this winter too. I'm putting the leveling links on, so I may have to fight it just a little to make sure I keep the tire off the ground.

I actually was just thinking that to myself. I'm picky about my bike and I doubt I'd let his disassemble it. Either way though that is not a bad price. I graduated from an automotive college and my friend went through the painting course. He painted his bike and got best in class and second best in show for the car show he took it to. So I need hardener and flex stuff? I'm sure he'll know all of this but I'm just trying to get my grounds covered. I'm going with the tri-coat color rite matching stuff too. Might as well spend some money!

Hahaha Win!

Looking for some advice on a repaint. Exactly how much paint did you need? Any info would be much appreciated

Sorry I didn't quite understand your first post I thought you were referring to two different bikes Lol. May I ask how much it was to do the trailer?

Thats exactly what i was thinking when i ordered them. I'm going to try the snap ring method described on either this site or the venturers

Which year is the gorgeous silver and red combo

So using the parts described will it be enough to shoot the oil or will it just sort of run out

Well I dont know if I'm posting this in the right forum. But I'm hoping to find the paint code for the 2003 red and silver model. I'm going to repaint my 99 those colors and I'm hoping for the right code or something really close! Any info will be much appreciated!!!

Well I just placed an order for an OEM set of slip ons for 55 bucks. They came off an 08 Tour Deluxe and I gotta tell you i'm excited to get the ugly old rust bucket slips off my bike.

Personally I'd remove the side bags every time I wash the bike. I ride in the winter here and we occasionally get that nasty salt/slime on the road. I figure if i'm going to spend an hour cleaning it i might as well get the tops of the pipes and the backs of the bags right?! Plus that rear fender is hard for me to fit my hand around and hat would make cleaning that a breeze!
