  1. Check that clutch and brake fluid for color. If it is sort of a brownish tink to it , think about a fluch and change with DOT4 fluid. I took a trip on my RSV and the rear brakes faded while following a car thru the mountians in NC. Once it colled off 10 min was fine rest of trip. But was scary to say the least. On tire press you want to look at the tires and not the manual for pressures. If the max is say 42 you probably want to run 40 min solo with gear, maybe up to the max. I usually stay 1lb under fully loaded up gear and wife.
  2. I think bluetooth connectivity is possible between any device as long as its software is compatable. Say yours is 1.3 and theirs is 1.0 you will probably be ok. For the most part from what I have read on the pones the biggest step lately was adding being able to receive a signal and be used as a speaker or something like that. So sort of 2 way signal transmitt and receive. The Sena are already set up that way, its just a matter of how many channels.
  3. Make up a list of oh say 6-8 places you would like to see. Greenfield village and Henry Ford Museum in Detriot, maybe an assembly plant tour if they still do those. In St Louis area you have Grants Farm where President Grant lived after the Cival War. The Bud Brewery is ther also. Often times you go to one of these places or a national park and folks you talk to will say "hey have you been too" .... You can find some neat not so common sites to see. Hope you all enjoy it.
  4. Main fuse is on left side under the passenger floorboard. I cam off a trip one year everything was fine. Next day I went out and nothing. 30 amp fuse was bad. Check all the connections also as it wont hurt.

    Sort of like Military Intelegence?
  6. Well being a Lucas part, would make me skeptical it would work when its suposed to anyways.
  7. Odd looking boat. So is this an aircraft carrier or support type ship?
  8. B plan. Mr Gasket 42 pump. Solid state.
  9. WOW I dunno how he can make them and ship for that.
  10. Steve, it would work on more than the RSV rite. Any bike with the same headlight connector, the H4. I had to build a connector simular to what you are talking about when I ran the headlight modulator.
  11. Yea thats kind of how I feel about any watercraft. My memories of when my dad had a boat are, it on a trailer in backyard repairing bottom when he bought it. Taking it to get engine fixed, and him spending endless time waist deep changing cotter keys on the drive because one got sheared off. But some folks think motorcycles are a wasre of money and time also.
  12. The 80 is a tick wider. I would make sure no interfearence by driiveshaft tube.
  13. Yea I thought that was a bit high. I have most of the parts to build up a 5 pin to 3.5mm ear bud adapter if you want one. I would just need to figure up some costs.
  14. Yep thats the ticket. Only half the time I forget to buy those and just end up using the heat shrink. LOL
  15. For grins if you have one around try the "Tide stick". A fellow I was talking to at a car show said he had got some stains out of a convertible top with it.
  16. For my bumpers I used some "rubber expansion nuts" from home depot. I think 6 or 8 32 thread. Fit space good, just touches the fork. Threaded end against support bracket.
  17. I might suggest covering your terminals once all finished with some heat shrink so nothing can short them out. Just an idea to insulate.
  18. WOW Got all the good out of that one I guess.
  19. If you look closely on most all the HID and LED bulbs they are made in China. Just some fellows import a bunch of them at one time and have them ready for delivery.
  20. Well thats discouraging. I made my spacers 3/4" hoping to get it out far enough. OH well other than the couple bucks for the bolts I aint out no money.
  21. 3. Composition/information on ingredientsMixturesChemical name Common name and synonyms CAS number %Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether 20-40% Solvent Naphtha (petroleum), LightAliph. 20-40% Dipropylene Glycol MonomethylEther 10-20% Hexylene Glycol 10-20% Isopropyl Alcohol 2.5-10% Propane 2.5-10% From the MSDS for product. Bet it makes a good BOOM
  22. I dont know if its going to work. But I just got longer bolts and made some longer spacers. I notice Sloroll bracket is offset lower also.
  23. IMOP you have done a couple things here. One you have figured out that this is not a group you probably want to participatqe with much. Also you have reminded us all to watch for signs of poor practices. One of my peep pives about bike rallys and poker runs is somewhere along the line alchol figures in. Now dont get me wrong, I like an adult beverage as well as others. Now I dont think a fellow having a cold one @ a linch stop is terrible. But all to often its more than that. And I personally dont like the odds being stacked against US riders, regaurdless of skill set. I have not found a group where I am at that I am real comfortable riding with or want to spend days on the road. Now I will say I have not rode with any VR folks any long distances yet so that dont count. Its tuff to find a good riding buddy. Mine passed away a year ago this August from cancer. Enjoy your rides.
