As a kid, I grew up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches... and as an adult (some may argue that part) the good ol' PBJ is still my favorite sandwich. The basics are the same, but it's now on wheat bread with chunky peanut butter and grape jam (spreads better than jelly). Now - how about the rest of you? What is your go-to??

Well in that case, allow me to contribute... About a month after getting my RSV, I popped over a small hill to find a car stopped in my lane - facing me! Apparently it was easier for him to pull over to check his mailbox instead of pulling into the driveway and getting out of the car. I managed to avoid the car but hit the ditch. Shattered the collarbone into 5 pieces.

I have ESPN. Checked there - no luck.

Reddy - the group here has forgotten more than a lot of other sites ever knew. There isn't much that will stump the brain trust of VR. You are in good hands.

Saw this on FakeBook... https://www.facebook.com/share/r/eSnXZKLY9684bSS5/

Has anyone found a better mirror for the RSV? Maybe it is because of years of riding the 1st Gen bikes where the mirrors are mounted to the fairing - which puts them higher and more forward, but there is something about the RSV mirrors that could be improved. So, has anyone found an aftermarket option that is higher or larger?

Today was the day for an exhaust swap out. The bike came to me with fish tail pipes. Nice and loud... but after 680 miles the first day (brought it home from NC to western KY) it was more than enough for me. I'd been on the look out for some stock exhaust or Road King take offs and a couple weeks ago I found a nice set of the RK pipes. I got a friend with a metal worker friend who has a new laser cutter. He got the brackets back to me last night and today was the swap day. These are much more chill. I can actually enjoy the ride a bit more now. I will say though, the change that has made the biggest difference in the riding enjoyment is the skinnier (130) front tire. It handles so much better now and is getting alot closer to the 1st Gens that I had for many many years. The handlebar risers (in my opinion) have also contributed to the 'feel' of the front end as well.

Al, recently I upgraded my audio system, so I have the entire system including a 6 disc cd player. How much of it do you want?

It is not a problem. Upon further searching on the world weird web, I was able to find a couple different options to make.

I have read that write up of the install, but I'm looking for the specs on the bracket he got from Sofa King so I can build a set. So, if anyone knows where I can get the brackets or the dimensions, please let me know.

I have searched but I can't find something I know is here somewhere. I just picked up a set of Harley exhaust pipes ($20) and I am sure I need a bigger clamp, but what I can't find is the pattern for the hanger bracket to mount them. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

My '10 has been on the lift stand for the last week or so. Got new tires (Shinko 777's) and while it was on the stand I added a fuse block in the fairing, removed the cassette player, cb and stereo and replaced it with an LBE-Carplay-02 unit with gps & bluetooth. In place of the stock controller is a control and amp by Memphis Audio. The new unit also has front and rear (recording) cameras too. Almost forgot... the 1.5" handlebar riser.

Lunchtime at Patty's

I think you should throw a leg over it and come on out to the West Kentucky Rally this weekend... it would be good to see you.
