    We have a winner. You will love the hannagen. Go with the easy steer and maybe the extra tank. Good luck.

    I read the original post and went to the garage to measure my bars but when I got there I forgot why I was there. seriously I don't think anyone here meant to blow you off. sometimes life just gets to crowded.

    If your traveling on a weekend,then maybe leaving your place at around 4am should put you in chi-town around 6:30am traffic should be light at that time on a saturday. When I was stationed in Great Lakes and had to travel through Chicago We would leave as early as possible. Worked out pretty well. Thats about the only time of the day and week we didn't hit traffic.

    Or you could take a little extra traveling time and take the 43 to the 39 south to El Paso IL. pick up state rte 24 and head east till you are in Indiana. then you will be clear to go any direction you want. The more distance I can put between me and any city is the only way to go. I hate diving in traffic.

    Like most large city's the best time is around 3-5am. Not many people on the road at that time. You will be between shift changes and all other sane people will be in bed.

    Did you align the axcel? There's a procedure here somewhere for doing it.

    Yama Mama hit it right on the noise. I did get an reply back from the owner. He said he was asking $8000.00 to keep away the tire kickers and he was really looking for $6000.00 but when he was offered $6000.00 he backed out of the deal and is now going to keep it.

    I had the voyager kit on my 99, made me want to go to a full trike. The kit is a good way to start out. Look for a used kit. Most are selling for around $2000.00. But make sure it will fit your bike.The belly plate and attaching kit will cost you another $500.00 or more. They are fairly easy to remove but not so easy to reinstall. After doing a couple of times it gets easier. But still a pain. The ride is close to a true trike but not as stable. Also if you go with the kit ,look at triggs trikes They seem to make the best kit out there.

    From the picture's would say it is mostly stock. It had passing lamps and front fender guard. Not much else.

    I know where clark summit is. We drive through there all the time when we travel to NJ. Are you looking for a new bike? I have a loaded 99 RSV I,m thinking about selling. We picked up a 99 RSV trike last year. I'm thinking I probably will not use the 2 wheeler for more then back and forth to work. It should go to someone that will ride the heck out of it. If your interested let me know, I'm NOT asking $8000.00. Can't believe he pulled the deal after you rode all that way.

    I was surfing craigslist and came acrossed a 99RSV listed here in central NY for $8000.00. I couldn't help myself, I replyed to the add and told him he should check ebay and other listing and he will see that 99's are selling for under $6000.00. Most are selling around $5000.00. I know I should have mined my own business. But really, $8000.00!

    What ever you do, don't carry any weapon in NYC. You will go to jail even if you have a permit from your own state.
  14. steamer
    Most important thing i can think of, do you have a permit to carry?

    There is a place called Northlandz in Flemington NJ. that is similar to this. They have 3 or 4 floors of all different size model trains. They bill it as the largest in the world. Took my Grandson there abbout 3 years ago. It took us around 4 hours to see it all. I think this one that is posted here has better detail. But the one in Flemington is still worth seeing.

    The difference in weight is around 300lbs, it will take time and practice to get use to the change. I wouldn't make any major changes to the bike till you have had time to get to know the bike. I went through the same process when I went from the 900 to the RSV.

    One more question. Does it have a lowering kit on it. My 99 came with the rear end lowered, handled like a tank. I removed the lowering kit. wow what an improvment.

    What brand tires do you have? If they are the stock Brickstones, dump them. It does sound like the steering head needs to be tightened.

    The utopia has an adjustment screw, behind and below the pad.

    I had a 900lt vulcan and went to the RSV. I had the opposite problem. I could not get comfortable on the LT, no matter what i did to it. I hated those beach bars that came with it. Putting risers on it helped. Then I got the RSV, fits like a clove,love it. The only thing I did to make it better was to install a back rest. now I can stay on the bike all day and still able to walk at the end of the ride.

    Please send some our way.
