Good for you. Keep on trying. What ever makes you happy!!

Wife, Backrest, Flanders bars, Horn and 100 led tail light are my favorites.

Hello: Welcome to this wonderful site. I do not have first hand experience with the road star or the raider. However I have been impressed on how easy the Stratoliners come up off of their side stands. I would however really miss the electronic cruise control that the RSTD and RSV's have. Just my two cents.

Good luck!!!!

Hello: I agee with ACE50. Just depends on your riding style. When I bought my RSTD. I had the choice of a used RSV. The RSTD fit me a bit better and the price was understandably lower. However if I had known about this site then and also knew that my wife and I would be riding as much as we do together I might have went with the RSV. I have discovered it takes time to get used to your bike no matter which one you choose. I would like to try a lowered RSV with RSTD handlebars. Maybe someone will have one at a MD or at the International rally.

Just checking in. Thanks again for the latest up date. Continued prayers.

You are welcome. Bikers helping bikers. Look forward to meeting you as well.

Welcome to the site.

I agree with Eddie. Could happen to any of us. Willng to help also.

Hello: Others have had the same issue that you experienced about the availability. I did not, but I ordered directly from Flanders and paid the price of about $175. But well worth it in my opinon.

Thanks guys for the vote of confidence. I guess you would call my bike a custom bike. I am not alone as you know. Several others that own RSTD's know what we have and simply wanted more room than even the Venture Trunk. Not really a show bike, but I feel I have one of the most reliable machines ever built made for my comforts. I enjoy it more everytime I ride it! Thanks again.

Sorry about that Jack. LOL. Actually the dealer installed 404's on my bike. Those were the tires that I thought cost me $600. They only lasted one season. I replaced them with E3's at the beginning of last season.

Always nice when we can finally meet our on line friends!!! I sure am looking forward to the international rally!!!

Hello Everyone: This is an old post but I had more info to add. I eventually purchased new E3's from Performance Cycles while I was in Denver at the beginning of last season. Very happy with them so far. Another riding season is almost here. Hoping to attend a PGR ride with Patrolman46 this coming Friday. Sunny and 55 predicted. 150-200 mile ride. While doing tax prep a few days ago, I ran accross a receipt from my Yamaha dealer for the $600 check that I remember writing. I am embarressed. I completely forgot that while my bike was in the shop for new tires, the dealer also installed my new driving lights. That alone was $300. So I actually got the Dunlop 404's for a fair price of $300. I regret my error. Getting older and can't remember S**t. Wanted to set the record straight.

Thanks for sharing. I do not suppose they would appreciate my RSTD with a Harley Trunk?

Welcome to the VR site. Glad you are enjoying your new bike!!

Interesting read. Glad you are able to tell the story. Thanks for sharing.

Hello: I saved a chart that Patrolman46 sent me. I did not see your specifc bike listed on it. However I simply googled 1996 RS Boulevard Stock Handlebar size. Found several links. Here is one of them that should help. Yes, I beleive 1" is correct according to this add for a set of replacement bars. http://www.edgextremesports.com/store/Baron-StarBar-Handlebar.html?fitmentid=126. I hope this helps.

WOW. Nice gift!!!

Hello: Here are some of my notes. Flanders bars 1" (650-08783). Keep us posted.

Glad your visit was a good one. Safe travels. Keep us posted.

Two 60 degree days in Western Nebraska, on the weekend no less. Got in a 50 mile ride with the Grandson today. Ended the ride with an icecream cone!!

Glad you were not injured more severely. Good luck on the surgery. Heal well and get back on.
