  1. Hmm Iron butt maybe?
  2. When I was in the USAF in Oklahoma, we lived like 7-10 miles north of a cattle feed lot. OH my in summer when that $#it wouls cook in 100+ degree days and the wind blew the wrong way....... Or you had to ride by going out of town past it. So I have a pretty good idea what your sayin.
  3. Hmm Says video is private. So no can see.
  4. Some of us are just slow learners.
  5. All the comments make good sense so far. Takin a poke @ a pig might need to sync the carbs after sitting for awhile also. Mine dont stay parked for long periods of time, but I do mine 2 or 3 times a year. Once you ride the concentrated sea foam out their recomendation is 1 oz per galon.
  6. They are handy for sure. We also jam snacks, jerky glasses, those drink mixs you can put in water. Typicaly the phone is in the mount on handlebars.
  7. As far as not buying "Chinese" good luck. I have seen a couple from Japan an Europe but wow are the prices up there and no gaurentee it aint made there and rebranded anyways.
  8. WOW I personaly not a white wall guy. But the contrast of the black bike with white contrastest really show nicely. Very nice job.
  9. Congrats
  10. Possibly. When I lowered the forks in my RSV I turned the fillers a bit so I would have a bit easier time.
  11. My Cortech bag has magnets. Sometimes its held on so tight you cant hardly break it loose after a day of riding.
  12. Specific brand I dont know. Its been in the bike for 3 or 4 years now and the bulb I think has went ka-put. Looking for another. My kit came off e-bay and was a "slim" ballast model in the 35w realm. I just found a seller with good ratings was about all I could do. Specific kits etc I dont know if its worth all the heart ache. Cycle gear has a kit for $60 but is not bi-xenon that I can find. Motorcycle Superstore has a bikemaster kit with H4 hi/low for about $64. OK so now to e-bay. Here is a 55w complete kit for under $30. It appears the 35w jobs are more than the 35w ones now. LOL
  13. I only use tank bag on trips. Dont have a tank bib, just the rubber strip thing. Dont see much use for the bib other than astetics.
  14. Too biggest culprits are either the schrader valve or the O ring for the filler tube.
  15. Someone here and I had a discussion back and forth about removing the schrader valves, installing some AN fittings and stainless hose to connect and then a fitting for 1 schrader valve which would be all you need. Also someone said they located a kit close to what the balance kit was and it was made for air shocks on a car.
  16. OK got my thoughts bass ackwards. But Im guessing you got my drift.
  17. Lots of sayings come to mind. Better safe than sorry, now you know for sure etc. Your dang toot'n its a lot of work. but you know where its at and are good to go for a long time. I set mine to the low side when I did mine so I can get a bit more mileage in between hopefully. Have you done a rear tire on the 2nd gen before?
  18. I added a brake light modulator shortly after I got the RSV. Still I use the engine and gearing a lot. I also use that alot on my Cummins pick up, and the PU also has an exhaust brake on it I use. SO really no brake lights until almost stopped if you work it right. But I do like you have mentioned, sort of tap the brake lightly when approaching stopping areas. Last thing I need is to be "dead right".
  19. Hmm I see something fishy. The max speed looks suspicious @ 394 mph
  20. Most likely thats it. When I turn the key off my Garmin has a message come up about will turn off in XX seconds. You can select to stay on but it automaticly goes off. My problem is not that. I can live with that. My problem is the cable I'm guessing will not allow my voice to go out over the intercom. I can hear the other person fine, but they tell me its just all static sounding when I try to talk. So my guess is I got a defective cord. If I just wanted to listen to the phone via the BT n the GPS I can just leave the 3.5mm cable plugged in, I didnt have to buy a $60+ cable to do that. I have tried to turn IC volume up, phone volume GPS volume and same results. I guess I got had on this purchase.
  21. Hmm I dunno. Aint really paid no attention.
  22. Just make sure its fixed before you get it. HuGE recall on them.
  23. Most guys I have conversed with if they have the halogen hi beam, dont even use the hi beam. For the very reason you state. The little pod cree LED lights I just bought have a modulate function built rite in. I scared to run them that way for fear law man will not like it and give me a ticket.
  24. Wowser Them better be purdy nice shoes for that thing. My wifes 02 Durango is needin new shoes soon. I priced them out thru our Dodge dealer and some BFG I think they were are going to run me about $685 for a set. I have found some tires in the 100 range, but then you have to add in mount, balance and the disposal fee you pay for twice.
