6000k is about the color that most get. It is a brite white with just a tinge of blue to it. 8000k is the blueish ones you see in the tuner cars. Not really as good in dark. Yes the light pattern is a bit off but it is a vast improvement over the OEM type bulb. Mine came off e-bay and was about $35 Im happy with it. 3yr plus. Your going to get a dud once in awhile.

Royal Star Tour Deluxe speakers
djh3 replied to Kilroy's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Why with a bracket silly. Actually I have a couple sets of these I think in the garage somewhere. They are like 2.5" dia. Not very good sounding, but there are some bigger ones that are not bad sounding. Trouble is the bigger the speaker the more power you need to push sound. So you get much bigger and your MP3 player wont push them without a amp. -
LOL too funny. It just amazes me the amount of work some people go thru to cause someone else heart ache. These creeps come up with virus to lock up your computer unless you pay a ransome, web sites download crap you dont know about and then are willing to sell you a "fix" for the trouble they installed.

the dreaded left side kickstand oil drip
djh3 replied to Max's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Just like AC leak detect. Only for engine oil. http://www.carquest.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_TRACER+All-N-One+Oil+-+Multipurpose+Dye+-+Pinpoints+Leaks+in+Engine+Oil%2C+Transmission%2C+Fuel+Systems%2C+1+oz+bottle%2C+sold+by+each__10151_-1_10651_1441038_36570?acesApp=0 -

You might try going by Autozone. They have radiator pressure testers you can test caps and cooling systems. Several adapters in the little kit, hopefully one will fit. I am afraid though it looks as though its sprung a leak. I think the piece you are pointing to is a mount. Unfortunately the ra is probably plastic tank and metal core and its just clamped together, so no viable repair. Jb weld might get you home, but I dont think I would want to call it a permanent fix. Does it leak static, with bike just sitting still in garage? Or does it have to warm up and then leak?

OK Price CK on motor oil isle!! Pegasus, you are correct. Dino Rotella is in the $13 range while T6 Syn is $22

I saw an article on YAHOO news yesterday about a computer virus. So wanting to be up on possible problems I started to read up on it. Well it seems that somehow the Chinese maker of some sort of vapor smoker E-cig has figured out how to hack up your computer or electronic devices by the E-cig using your USB port. Now ain't that a kick. I personally have no worries, but I figure there may be some folks on here trying to kick the tobacco habit with these devices.

I have a BGE (Big Green Egg) Its a ceramic cooker/smoker shaped like an egg. Expensive beggar but man does it do some killer ribs and pulled pork. I cook probably 5 times a week on it, grilled chicken, pork chops, burgers and it smoke great too. So our family has decided to meet at a camp ground about 85 miles from my house. WE rented a cabin they have my BIL has a camper he is bringing etc. So part of our dilemma is how we going to have turkey. He usually smokes up a bird and we eat at their place. Wed is the meeting date and he wont get in until 6 pm or so and dont have time to smoke the bird before time. SO I offered up to do it. I elected to get a breast, and thighs and legs separate. I put them all in a pan and injected it with some herb and garlic marinade and same dry spices on the outside. Well it just came off the smoker about 530pm. MMMM does it smell good. Pinched a piece and its purty tasty too. Now Thursday will just have to pop in an oven at cabin for an hour or so I guess to warm it up.

Yea, truth be told most longer trips I got the phone tuned up to Pandora anyways.

Guess it depends on what your in to. I have only been there for work. (out at race track) So we have stayed over at Orleans a couple of years. Nice place, but kind of out of the way if you want to jump casino to casino. Same with the South Point, very good accommodations, but off the beaten path. Long ways for us to the track. Then a couple years we stayed at NY NY. Food pricey, not all that great and nothing in medium range. Seemed like everything was $20 or more, even a sandwich. but close to other things MGM and walking distance to most Caesars etc. Last year we stayed at Nugget. I liked it because we had a chose of food options from the hotel restaurants, Denny's down the covered street, Tony Romas. Music at night and things going on. I dont gamble much, heck I ride a motorcycle. Need I gamble anymore?

Help identifying and finding a part
djh3 replied to CMCOFFEY's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Yup pretty much a standard clearance light. check R&P carriages out. they are an e-bay seller and I have got some nice LED clearence lights in LED format from them MADE I USA. -
I am not familiar with what you are working with. but I mounted one of these up on my Kawasaki 900 with a reckless fairing. They are about the size of a credit card (face size) and maybe 1" deep. Some kits if you look come with speakers, although the ones that came with mine were pretty tinny sounding. I used ear buds most of the time. I did mount up some 4" sony speakers in my fairing as I ha room. If you look in the "motorcycle radio" or similar area on e-bay there is all kinds of stuff available.. I had a 200w amp also I put on mine and could plug in SD cards and it helped power the bigger speakers. that might be the one draw back on this little radio is it wont power like 6x9' or something like that. Different unit, has alarm and SD card slots. then there is this unit. An AMP with FM capabilities. The amp is very sisimilaro what I had.

LED passing light replacement bulb
djh3 replied to MidlifeVenture's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Dear djh3_88, This bulb has 1,000 Lumen output. Thanks - jtechnowcom -
Around here Wally World has best price on it. Gallon of the 10w40 dino rotella goes for about $20 and the T6 Syn stuff is $23. I like the Mobil 1 Syn motorcycle oil also, but it is $10 a Qt

Will 4'' CVO FLHT pipes fit the 2006 RSV
djh3 replied to Bert2006's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I am guessing the 4" is the diameter of the muffler. a Standard FLH type muff is right at 4". I just measured mine, so not sure what the guy is selling. Unless its the ones that look like cannons. But over all I would say if they came off the FLH model bikes yea should work. You Want to stay away from the OEM pipes from the 08-10 pipes as they had cat converters in them along those years. -
I bought some "cut to fit" LED lights off ebay. Like a 3 ft strip I think. If you can solder you can make the cut to fit stuff work. I mounted some on plumbing strap up under the bags. W strips under each bag. One is a running light and one is turn signal. I had about 16 inch left and mounted it under the tank. I do wish they were a bit brighter. The pod style led seem to work better for this as they are brighter I think.

I have a 96 Cummins. I got turned on to Rotella back in 09 or so when I still had my VTwin kawi 900. I ran mobil1 20w50 in summer and rotella t6 syn in winter. I usually run the dino rotella in the pick up. But have run it in bike too. I would agree probably one of the best all around oils on market. But with that being said the new cars some take like 0w20 for emissions and milage. Now would the 15w40 hurt a new engine? I dunno I wouldnt think so.

LED passing light replacement bulb
djh3 replied to MidlifeVenture's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I bought a pair of lights with housings that went to a HD touring bike. they have an H3 35w halogen bulb originally. Once the HID went in they looked really yellow. I looked for a long time for options that were in my budget. the $200+ for the trucklites just were not going to happen. I looked into the "work lights" from northern tool, if you catch them rite they run about $30 each. So my housing has a replaceable bulb like I mentioned. SO I went shopping for H# LED bulbs. With the new style CREE bulbs you can get some decent output. I went with some like these and they work quite well. H3 Type 70W High Power SMD LED Fog/DRL Bulb Xenon White Light -
I suppose now he will be building Goldwing stuff though.

Perfectly fine down here in Fla. Went for a 200 mile ride Thur. It was about 62 when I left the house and stayed in the low 70's all day.

Interesting info. I have thought from time to time about a camera for the bike on trips. But the wife seems happy so ar using her phone and the little cannon digital we have. Heck I dont even know what model. Mostly stills though she will shot video shorts.
