I've got pics of the flanders install on Jeannies bike, I'll dig em up and post them later. Larry and I are going to the bike show/swap meet in a little while.

I don't know of such antique items!

My guess is a rear shock to replace the blown one. If I win donate the wrench to the St. Judes auctions.

I like my single stack S&W 4013 .40 It's not too large and packs a punch. The ported barrel makes follow up shots effortless. As far as this topic goes, nobody makes you click on any thread topic, if it does not interest you don't open it. If many felt this way, a new forum could be started to discuss guns.

We Demo'd the can am , I found it to be like riding a snowmobile or 4 wheeler. We then rode a Hannigan RSV, no contest, the RSV is faster, more comfortable, has way more storage room and is VERY STABLE in turns and twisties. 50 MPH in a tight roundabout and I couldn't lift a wheel before centrifugal force wanted to rip me off the trike. The Can-Am achieves it's stability from computer controlled application of the brakes and/or throttle interruption. Myself I DO NOT want to trust my well being to a computer. I found them to be rather slow compared to an RSV. Also passenger room and comfort are lacking in comparison to the RSV. My

Maybe he's riding his Lil' Indian mini-bike.

It does. A few of the rides last year were pretty large. We're looking forward to doing all the rides. Come on spring.... PMS is getting bad

Rick, If you could post which rides are going on what day's, it would help us to plan our day's at the rally.

I use mine for the helmets. As an upper mounting point for my flag pole and to lock up a jacket by running a cable thru the sleeves.

Way back when, I almost took a job painting towers like that. This was in the 70's and when working at the top the pay was almost $500 per hour. I ended up taking a job with Chrysler corp. running a crane and climbed 70 Ft to the operators cab 3 or 4 times a day. After doing it for a while I could climb the whole ladder pretty quick without stopping. The worst part of climbing a tower like that is the sway at the top, a lot of the time it'll move 4 ft or so

You have not been to Detroit have you

Teacher asks the kids in class: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Little Johnny: "I wanna be a billionaire, going to the most expensive clubs, find me the best *****, give her a Ferrari worth over a million bucks, an apartment in Copacabana, a mansion in Paris , a jet to travel through Europe , an Infinite Visa Card and to make love to her three times a day". The teacher, shocked and not knowing what to do with the bad behavior of the child, decides not to give importance to what he said and then continues the lesson. "And you, Tanya?” " I wanna be Johnny's *****!"

On some air bases the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle. � One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?" � The tower responded, "Who is calling?" � The aircraft replied, "What difference does it make?" � The tower replied, "It makes a lot of difference.. . If it is a commercial flight, it is 3 o'clock . If it is an Air Force plane, it is 1500 hours. If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells. If it is an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3. If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon and 120 minutes to "Happy Hour." ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - � During training exercises, the lieutenant who� was driving down a muddy back road encountered� another car stuck in the mud with a red-faced colonel at the wheel. � "Your jeep stuck, sir?" asked the lieutenant as he pulled alongside. � "Nope," replied the colonel, coming over and handing him the keys.

Mathematics: This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience. It has an indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud. This is a strictly ..... mathematical viewpoint.. and it goes like this: What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% And K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% But , A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% And, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103% AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118% So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there. Its the Bull$hit and A$$ Kissing that will put you over the top. Now you know why some people are where they are & especially the one's currently in our congress running our country and elected to president and vice-president!

If anyone has had both types installed on their RSV, I'd like your opinion on the pros and cons of each one.

The 1-150 range gives a nice leisurely pace with time to stop, eat lunch and see the sights. The 200+ range is good if there's no sightseeing, but the riding is the goal.

The part number is correct but the picture is not. The price is good, until you ad the $9.00 shipping.

I just looked at the Race Tech constant rate with emulators, $384 which includes all new bushings and seals.

I am starting to think about replacing my fork springs, I have read almost every thread on the VR forums pertaining to fork springs and have not seen any discussion comparing the two different spring types and why I would choose one over the other. What are the handling characteristic's of the 2 ? Does riding style matter or is it just the weight of the bike, rider and gear ? I'm about 170# with 30" inseam if it matters. When I do the springs I'm also going to move the forks up 3/4-1" in the triple tree. Ever since I bought this bike it has never felt sure-footed in the twisties, it's always felt like the front end wants to slide out. Changing pressures in the forks, tires & rear shock have made little difference in handling. I installed a new shock today, springs are next.

Someone snatched it up, hope it was someone here

Let's hope there's many more years in ya Don, BUT, just in case, you could will it to one of your trusted moderators so your legacy would live on.

Maybe I spoke too soon, Whats the difference between these and the stock DPR8EA-9 ?

With the flanders bars you need 2" over stock length. You could loop them inside the fairing within reason. Try it, if it works without the throttle sticking at full turn both ways, you're good to go.
