You know us, we'll always chose the scenic route if time allows.

3# is the stock 2 wheel torque. Hannigan reccommends 38-45 pd/ft for a RSV.
-
Using a drift you can only guess at how much torque is being applied. Take the time to do it right.

If I only knew that that $12 was gonna be the down payment on the thousands of dollars this place has cost me I'd have joined sooner

PGR honor missions are one of the best things I ever became involved in. Your presence there WILL make a difference and you'll never know the comfort it brings to a grieving family, to see that there are people who do care about the sacrifice they and their loved one have made. It's the right thing to do.

Do your best to convince her to take the MSF and buy a bike that matches her abilities. Today we went to the funeral of a 22 year old Man from the neighborhood, 2nd year rider, hit broadside at an intersection. Not his fault but you have to wonder if more experience would have made a difference.

Your not bringing that goose with you to the Quality Inn are you ? Let me know now so I can make other arrangements!

Almost the same. The ez steer top tree is a little deeper than the stock one, it needs to be lifted just about off the tubes before you can get the wrench on it.
-
Yes it is. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/217-259

You have to raise the top tree almost off to get the wrench on the lower ring. use a torque wrench. Dingy sells the neck wrench on the member vendor section. When you use it keep it at a 90* angle to the torque wrench to get a true reading. You'll need to remove the fairing to get to the top tree. Just follow the instructions in the tech section. RSV/ Hannigan should be 38-44 pd/ft

That's great news Karl, M&E's wouldn't have been the same without you. Now get on that bike and find us a sign

Hey neighbor! I also have an 01 RSV. We'll be heading down to Freebirds MD in June, you are more than welcome to join us for the ride down. There will be many RSV doctors in attendance to look at the patient and offer suggestions and maybe a helping hand.
-
That's a good question. I would imagine that if a damper were the best option Hannigan would have one available for the RSV and push it's use over torquing the bearing. I had thought about trying a damper but mounting one may be a problem. not much room up there on a 2nd gen.
-
I had that wobble too. Correcting tire pressure and torquing the head bearing to 44ft/pd did the trick. Mine was at the Yamaha factory setting of 3# The 38-45 ft/pd was recommended by John at Hannigan.

You could put your headset speakers in them, a little duct tape to hold them on your ears A quiet ride and great acoustics
-
That does look good. -
If you haven't yet, set up a relay and draw Headlamp power direct from the battery, it will brighten the HL and make it look more like the LED passing lamps. Passing light power from the battery will brighten them also. I have Wagner 4449 sealed beams in both RSV's, one setup with the relay (01), one not (08), the one drawing from the battery looks bright white while the other looks yellow. Both are running Silverstar Ultras and the 01 PL's look to be the same color.

I found that a 6" .22 loaded with shotshells works great for eliminating the pesky little devils. The shotshell is great if you are in a neighborhood with houses nearby.

Pull the pads and sand them with 80 or 100 grit sandpaper to remove the glaze. For the rotors use some 120 grit, put the bike in first and let it idle (of course this is while it's on jack stands with the rear wheels off) and sand both sides to remove the glaze. You can also bevel the lead and following edge of the friction material which may help reduce the squeal. Another thing is to use a little anti-squeal silicone between the pad and brake piston, you can get it at any auto parts store. All of this should cure it.

It's still on their web site. A nice looking trike. Take a look at the one George has for sale, it's a beauty. Here's a link to Georges RSV Hannigan. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=3933&title=2001-rsv-hannigan-trike&cat=4

He must be safe, he was gonna put her in the other bed. Besides, what harm can an old man do ?
-
In the strict sense of sober no, an occasional drink every so often. No drugs since the 70's. Those were fun times I don't care to repeat. I do fully support anyone who can lead a clean and sober lifestyle.
-
No squeal from them yet, don't expect them too. When was your trike built? There were only about 30 trikes affected and they were built within about a 45 day window form 12/09 to 01/10 You might try a different pad compound. Talk with your local Ducati dealer, those rear pads fit several Ducati models and are available in a few different pad materials from EBC and others. The original pads are brembo. I recall the EBC pads as being FA47. Be sure to lightly sand the rotors to remove any glazing when switching pads.
