    Well, I've got a new ride, and I am pumped, but the 86 VR will get listed in the classifieds when it's a done deal. I don't have it home yet, so am a bit apprehensive. The 86 is a beauty and will make someone a great ride. Steve

    Kit, I've been reading about whine for a long time now. I just bought a bike that might, at some time have it. Your post was way more than interesting. couple of things, I had a friend that swore by straight weight oil. But in a bike with the oil doing the job of the engine and transmission, I'm sure that won't work. I've always been told to be sure and use oil made for motorcycles, that is made to lubricate both. Your logic is very good, now which oil, and I mean heavy oil will work in our bikes. I don't know the answer, but will for sure remember your comparison with the lathe. Food for thought! Thanks, Steve

    I am not surprised. I'm glad that it worked out real good for you. I was hit by a guy with progressive some years back and they went out of their way to take care of me. Now, I have my bikes insured with them. Steve

    I looked up what these are, but I was wondering what are the main reasons that you guys use one? Steve

    I saw a venture with the same type of training wheels. To each his own. Steve

    I cut my stock 86vr windshield down with a jig saw and a medium tooth blade. Do add a bit of lubricant now and then or it will gum up. I also put down masking tape to keep from scratching the windshield. I used a file and a palm sander to finish the job. Now for the shocking part: When I removed the tape, the clear coat came off of the windshield. My windshield was pretty ugly, so I took the blue masking tape and removed all of the clearcoat from both sides of the windshield and it was beautiful. I use pledge on it when I wash it now. But, I have since bought a new tall stock shield, but can switch easily. I cut 2" off---seemed to be a perfect height to see over the thing. Steve

    Kinda hate to post the obvious, but take a jig saw and cut it off. I've done it, no problem. Steve

    I'll just say that some years back I was hit by a an old fart that had Progressive and the adjuster was fast and more than fair. I now have my bikes insured with them. Steve

    Might not be the right place, but, is the 96-98 royal star engine have the same whine issues or is this engine a bit different? Thanks, I'm actually thinking of buying one of these whiners. Steve

    Hope you don't mind me asking this question here, but would a 2005 RSTD have the same whine as an RSV? Steve

    New Law

    eagleeye replied to Jrichard's topic in Watering Hole

    We have a law like that in Wisconsin for motorcycles and bicycles. I haven't used it though. It's hardly safe going through a green light, much less a red one. Steve

    I just saw the same one. Glad you posted it. I was going to do the same. What I don't understand is how it got on Ebay? I guess that the saying: "A fool and his money are soon parted," was meant for this one. Steve

    Does anyone having an 86 thru 93 VR, use drivers floorboards? If they are available, I'm thinking that they would put my feet in a better position, a little forward and a little lower. I wonder if I could adapt the rear floorboards to the front? Thanks, Steve

    If you do a search on "drink holders" you will get a lot of information, but it seems that K-mart has a real good one that I'm going to look for. Steve

    I was just starting to think about the fish that I could be catching there when the face popped up./:rotf::rotf: Steve

    I put 38. No matter what I do, or how I ride, 38 is what it always comes up to. Well, actually, riding on the interstate above 75 against the wind, I did drop a few mpg. Steve

    Now, that hurts, OUCH!:no-no-no: It'll be here soon enough. I'm getting my garage arranged for the winter now and loading up on my last couple cords of wood.

    Hey Orrin, Thanks for the offer, I'll look forward to using it. Maybe RR can bring enough beer for old EagleEye too. It was really geat meeting you yesterday, but I have to say that my 86VR looked like a piece of crap next to your RSTD. Man, that thing is beautiful!!! Steve

    Glad to hear that your son and his girlfriend will be OK! Deer are our biggest threat around here. When I first started riding, many years ago, I did most of my riding at night. Now, I don't even consider riding at night. Last night, I had to make a trip of about 30 miles and the deer were all over the road. Starting this time of the year they really start comming out. Be careful out there, Steve

    Thanks guys, The thing about GPS, puters and lots of other things is that there is a lot more that I don't know than I do know. The 350 seems to have the best and worst of both, so I'm probably not going with that one. The 500, I'd really like, in fact, I'm trying to buy one from a guy now, but the communication thing isn't working. (It seems I remember my last wife saying something like that:rotf:) The 250 would probably be my best bet, and I won't buy a reconditioned one. Thanks for that tip. I guess that I really like gagets, and this is just the latest for me. I'm sure that I'll have my new toy soon. Steve

    I am toying with getting one or the other. I really would like the 500, but have heard about the hard drive issues on a bike. It might be a little big but other than that has a lot of features. On the other hand, the 250 is a card reader, so doesn't have the hard drive issues but a lot less gps than the 500. My question is, who has either one, and what is your opinion of yours? BTW, $ is an issure, so the Zumo is out. Thanks, Steve

    Hey Ken, Nice job on the cargo hauler! Looks like a good sized cooler would fit. Steve
